About Ship
Traditional, nautical-themed pub with a horseshoe bar, banquettes and outdoor tables.
A small friendly locals' pub with a pretty beer garden to the rear and seating outside the front of the pub. It's difficult to trace the history of the Ship accurately as there have been so many pubs with this name in the area. The Ship that stands here now was built in the first quarter of the 20th century, but there has been a Ship Inn on this site since at least the early 19th century. Unusually, this pub is one of the few pubs in England to have had two names at the same time. Until 1985 a sign on one side of the pub called it the Great Eastern, after a steamship built on the Isle of Dogs by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, while on the other side of the building it was called the Ship.

Came here again today, Tim still at the helm, fantastic staff and great atmosphere from the regulars... ---- previous feedback---- Came here for work and found a fantastic pub nestled in a built up housings and business estate. Lots of local customers enjoying a bit of calm away from the hustle of London traffic a few streets away... Tim (The landlord) is a very pleasant chap, very welcoming and accommodating. This pub has ample indoor and outdoor seating, dog and child friendly with toys and books on the shelves for the kiddies to use. A little pub with a big heart... Great place to…

Had a great Sunday roast here today. Friendly welcome, attentive but not rushed service, generous portions and good vegan option for my friend. We booked in advance (it was fully booked so def worth booking) for a table at 1.30 and stayed for just over 2 hours. We will be back!

A great place to eat and relax outside. The staff were friendly and the service was fast. The burger was great. You could taste every ingredient including the vegetables and the whole burger came together to make a tasty and healthy seeming burger. I usually take out the gherkins but these I left in. Looking forward to going back and trying the roast.

A highly rated this pub. Just what you want in a pub. Really good prices too for such a location. Nice beer, friendly staff, good atmosphere.

The worst Sunday roast I have ever had, lamb was tough and fatty, potatoes were anaemic. Chicken was a leg and not roasted at all- totally anemic white skin, no stuffing. Frozen Yorkshire pudding. Made me feel ill. Complained and all we got was a free plate of chips. Never again. Such a shame as expected a lovely roast from the reviews.
