Been out for the day and Popped into the Old Ship on a Sunday about 3:30pm we were made really welcome by everyone. They had an open mic afternoon from 4pm till about 7:30pm. Wow the talent was amazing and with lots of different artists. It was so well organised and ran like clockwork. We ended up staying and had an awesome afternoon. The Landlord was very welcoming and extremely funny. We live in Sussex and it’s over an hours drive away but we will be definitely going back on a Sunday again.

Visited prior to a football match at Aveley FC. Really welcoming staff and a great selection of drinks. Decent atmosphere with the football on TV too. Quirky pub, with various rooms, didn't see much food available other than pub snacks, advertised pool outside but didn't have pool tables. Would visit again if in the area.

Great atmosphere great alcohol food is nice but takes a very long time to come out apart from that it's a great pub. People and staff are very friendly.

Well, what can we say about our Sunday lunch at the Ship? Kevin is the perfect host, made time to sit with us and talked about what he has invested in the pub and restaurant. He has every reason to be proud. We were impressed and believe me, it takes quite a lot to impress us. Our beef Sunday lunch was very nice and tasty and VERY large. The sweet one of us had, and shared, was absolutely lovely. We will definitely be crossing the Ship's threshold again when we are very hungry. Well done Kevin and thank you.

Great to find this gem on our doorstep, having recently moved to the area & having no local knowledge our first port of call was The Ship. Kevin & his staff are lovely , the locals friendly and even Roody the pub's dog gave us a welcome. The Ship is a place we re visit weekly , taking our friends occasionally who also love the place. We have tried the bar food & eaten in the restaurant both are great. A Sunday roast there is so good , but save room for the desert , all fresh & home made ..... perfect. A big thumbs up to Kev & his crew :-)
