Scenic riverside pub with friendly service, solid British comfort fare, and higher-than-expected prices offset by great views and atmosphere.
The Ship Inn delivers solid neighborhood pub dining anchored by exceptional riverside setting appeal and warm, attentive service. Food quality shines with seafood chowder and fish dishes, but inconsistent execution—undercooked chips, portion variation, sold-out specials—prevents higher grades. The cosy atmosphere and loyal following make it worth visiting for the view and vibe, though expect occasional service gaps and pricing that reflects location over portion size.
One caveat: Pricing runs above typical pub levels, especially wines; some call it expensive for portion size
