   Good service, staff very friendly and helpful. Menu bit limited but well presented and good portion. Dog tolerant which we are not keen on. Music on the edge of being too loud. Nice buzz in restaurant area.

   Arrived at Ship inn. 15 mins before our time slot. Was shown to table, waitress informed us that they had no Sunday lunches. We were very disappointed. The main menus didn’t have anything we wanted. Whilst we were leaving another couple came out as they had booked and were also disappointed with the pub.

   Service was not the best. Wasn't asked if the food was ok whilst we were eating. My husband's fish had a lot of bones in. My steak was nice.

   Aargh - it’s so frustrating when it’s the service that lets everything down. The welcome was warm, the service attentive at first, and the first courses were tasty. We finished them and all agreed we wanted a dessert. So we waited for our plates to be cleared. And we waited. And we waited. Someone came and served other tables and we tried to make eye contact. It was almost like our gaze was being avoided. So, after a good 20 minutes or so we all decided the moment had passed, and we got an ice cream on the way home instead. This is exactly what happened the last time we visited when lockdown lifted last year. Things were just getting back to normal and things were a bit chaotic, so we made allowances. To have the same experience a year later is just annoying. Please just check to see if main courses have been finished!

    Food was excellent When Bill arrived drinks that had been paid for were included in the bill. Also drinks that were for another table were included in our bill. This was corrected. Bearing in mind most people just tap their card without looking. So always check your bill

    1. when I booked were not told it was a 2 hour slot 2. After 1 hour & 15 minutes were told they needed our table for another booking and then told we could only have the table for 2 hours when we pointed out we had only been there for I hour & 15 minutes the manageress was extremely rude, so we left. 3. We were with a wedding party who were celebrating before the wedding the next day, no one else was asked to leave and stayed until closing time. I think because our table was the first booked a group had walked in off the street for a table on the chance the manageress thought she would pick on us because we were 4 pensioners and an easy target. We would not go there again and when we told the others why we had left they too thought this was disgusting way to treat paying customers especially elderly people.

    Very smoky. Noisy. Lots of dogs allowed in. Food was below average. Fish was full of bones. Chips were not chips but wedges. Didn’t stop for a dessert. Not my kind of eatery.

    Service was amazing but we were a little disappointed with the food. We went for Mother’s Day and all had the Sunday roast. Our food was lukewarm and the meat wasn’t great. Our table was booked for 5.30 (kitchen closed at 6) so I wonder if it was due to us getting the last meals. However, service was amazing so we will give it another go!

    The food was cold served on cold plates and you only get an ice bucket with wine if it's a hush heath wine. We were told this is because they only want the best experience for their own wines

    Place on the cool side which doesn't allow a relaxing comfortable visit, food served on cold plates which made food tepid.Slow service and no offer of a reduction when I pointed out how lukewarm my food was , I had to eat very quickly and it was cold by the time I had finished. An offer to reduce my bill or offer a free dessert or coffee would have been appreciated - will not return

    Lovely venue. We’ve been a few times and the food was as amazing as ever. One or two items not available … but at the tail end of a very busy Sunday that’s understandable. It’s really nice here and we’ll be back.

    A Good evening , let down by 2 things firstly the staff were a little chaotic as in not knowing which tables were which led to them running about trying to work things out and second thing was the coleslaw, it was soft and mushy and flavourless more akin to baby food than crisp fresh punchy coleslaw.

    Service was poor. Waited a long while for drinks and then having to ask to order food as almost like we’d been forgotten. Menu offered was not the correct one for a Saturday evening, given Sundays one, so not a lot of choice and missed out on several preferred options that we did not know about. When raising this with the waitress, was just offered and apology and not even any type of drink or discount etc. Also the fire makes the air very smoky and seems that the chimney needs cleaning. On leaving our clothes smelt like we had been near a bonfire. Overall very disappointing.

    The roast was really tasty however we order our dessert and waited half hour asked the waiter if they had forgotten and was told they would find out then and only after asking I was told there was only two in the kitchen so it will be ready soon or I could just leave it. I desired to just leave. Also it was not very clean with crumbs in the table, hand marks round the water bottle and old bits of food up the wall. Real shame because the cooking was let down by the cleaning staff and waiting staff. If someone had come over to apologize for the delay with desert would have been polite.

    Very disappointing. Arrived to be told that due to staff shortages there was a restricted menu. Was prepared to accept that but then the crab which my wife could have eaten was also not available despite still being on the menu. She was offered cheese beignets which when they arrived were completely indigestible. Overcooked so much as to be black, saturated in oil and stone cold. Why don't restaurants just close for the night when they don not have a chef capable of cooking food?
