Often go to the ship. The food is beautiful and you get very large portions. The staff and manger are really nice and helpfull and the atmosphere is fab. Love this resturant this is definitely number 1! 10/10

Myself and my girlfriend visited the ship having booked a table in advance, due to being turned away on a previous occasion.

Visited The Ship Inn recently after hearing rave reviews about the food. On arriving, the restaurant was really busy, which is always a good sign, especially as this place is off the beaten track.

We were warned to arrive hungry and the portions were big. You could order a small meal if you wanted. The home made chips were very nice. The staff were a little abrupt and could have been more friendly.

I'm never going the dovenby ship again. It was worse restaurant/pub I've been to. Table booked 3 week in advance for 8:15 got sat down at 9:00 after standing at the bar with no explanation of why we had no table. Took 20 mins to be and served half hour for food to come out and half the sides were... More

Couldn't fault it, food was spot on, and I would recommend to anyone. Certainly get your money's worth.
