"Took 30 mins and hijacking a passing staff member to even be seen on a Saturday night at the table they pointed us to."

"Nice garden too when the weather is nice."
Cons:
"The Ship 'Used' To Have Queues Waiting To Enter, They Had Dog Shows, Outside Entertainment In The Garden, etc. The New Management Are Aiming For A Gastro Style Business, To Achieve This The Ship,.. 'As An Olde Cornish Pub' Has Now Become Yet Another Sterile Building."
"Music from speakers playing outside across the road in garden was not very conducive to a quiet drink."
"The pub itself is a bit dark but that’s the only downside."

Value
Pros:

"Cheap & delicious."
"Good value, would recommend this pub and location for an evening meal that’s not flash or too pricey."
"Reasonably priced."
"Generous portions of delicious food."
"The food was amazing (highly recommend the Eton mess) pricey but the portion sizes are large, definitely value for money."
Cons:
"Lovely pub but very expensive drinks, nearly £14 for 3 cokes and a half larger."
"Drinks are a little expensive, £3.05 for a glass of Diet Coke from a pump didn’t seem reasonable."
"Expensive. We ordered the steak, a burger and kids cod and chips."
"Nice location but really expensive and poor food. Sausage and chips twice and a pint and a half of cider cost £27.45."
"Totally disappointing at £15! As a local, who knows a good crab sandwich, I can honestly say this was an insult to all crab sandwiches."
"Visited here over the past few years & always been lovely, we were eager to return but what a disappointment. Food was dreadful, burgers were a disgrace, very overpriced."
"Very Busy and they run out various items on the menu including cream for the kids milkshakes...still charged us the same which isn't cheap."
