The Ship Public House

Issues are: 1) Website says ample parking that you have to keep changing the ticket for every 3 hours during the day and charging starts at 5am. 2) Restaurant serves until 6pm on bank holidays no it doesn 't. I asked this and was told no we don 't do food on a bank holiday . I then quoted their website and the reply was We had a problem with the chef and he left early perhaps you could try the Chinese over the road if its open which it wasn 't. 3) Bins to pub are right next to the passage way to the rooms and were full and smelling. 4) Passage way to the rooms smelt damp and musty. 5) The rooms had no curtains, only blinds so light comes in early which I supposed didn 't matter as the noise from the traffic kept me awake (I had even read the reviews and used ear plugs they made no real difference). The windows were closed and I still couldn 't sleep due to traffic. 6) even when the pub had closed the noise from, what I presume was the flat next door was obvious. 7) don 't look at the string to the light in the loo it was dark with dirt. I stayed one night complained and said I would not stay another night. They said they were sorry and would refund me. I received the money for the night I didn 't stay but no recompense for the inconvenience and discomfort of severely distrupted sleep. I definitely would not stay again and would not recommend anyone to do so.

Food at the ship is pretty good, however disappointed with service we went to the ship over the jubilee weekend and fathers day. We booked in advance and both times asked for a window seat and both times it was not booked. Service is exceptionally slow, we got one main and had to wait for over 20 mins the 1st visit and 15 mins the 2nd visit. So one person was eating cold food. It is pretty obvious they do not have enough staff serving food and possibly in the kitchen. We only live 10.mins walk from the pub so it is ideal for Sunday lunch, however may need to reconsider, esp as they cannot reserve the right seating both visits, and expetionally slow service. Want to add the servers we're very nice, however the management need to re look and recruit more staff

Busy enough to have an atmosphere but not so busy/loud that you couldn't talk/chat. Reasonable selection of beers, I suspect limited by the brewery.
