The Ship Inn - New Forest

Great night, service was so good and a big thank you. Food was excellent, staff also. We even made a friend, staying over from USA.

We stayed in room 1 whilst walking the Avon Valley Way and had a warm, friendly welcome from every single member of staff. Our evening meal was excellent I had the crab cakes starter with a dish of cooked veg, and my friend chose the baked haddock dish. Lots to choose from on the menu. We shared a piece of trillionaire’s shortbread with tiramisu ice cream. In the morning, a lovely lady served us a delicious breakfast. We were really well looked after, but our room was depressing and very tired. The sink had a really bad crack/smash in it, the water pressure on the shower was poor and the decor awful. So sadly I can’t give The Ship the 5 stars it could easily earn if the rooms were freshened up and better maintained.

We arrived for a weekend away and we’re looking for some dinner at 8pm, the first out we went to and stopped serving and sent us elsewhere (not here) but we saw The Ship Inn and decided to see if they were still serving food! I am so pleased we did, the food was delicious and the staff could not have been more pleasant and set on making sure we had a lovely experience! I had the Louisiana Burger from the special menu and my husband had the Fish Pie which he said was the best one he has had yet, interesting use of potatoes on top rather than mash! Highly recommend, thanks so much!

The food at this restaurant is fantastic and very generous in portion size. The dishes are really delicious and the staff is extremely friendly. I will definitely be back for a second visit after such a great first experience.
