Ship Inn

This place is absolutely amazing.
The location is beautiful, right on the river, especially on a beautiful summer’s day watching the ships go by. The ambience in the pub itself is unique, very quirky, a great hit with my husband who is a big Star Wars fan!
The food is good, sizeable pub grub, with a menu extensive enough to appease any fussy eaters or big appetites. Anything from fresh pies, steak, fish and chips, burgers you name it, they’ve probably got it. But the BIGGEST compliment to this place has to go towards the staff who made the entire experience brilliant they were funny, interested in where we’d come from and why we were there, made recommendations based on the menu and even changed the cheese on my husband’s steak as he wasn’t a fan of Stilton the waitor said he’d seen some Jalapeño cheddar in the kitchen if my husband would prefer that, and it went down a storm. What fabulous service.
We didn’t feel rushed, even though we left it an hour between mains and desserts and it was a packed Sunday lunchtime they let us take our time and the desserts were delicious.
Only slight criticism is that, for how big the main meals were, I was extremely disappointed with the size of my dessert three mouthfuls and it was gone. Not worth ⁵⁄₆ quid really.
Would definitely come here again, what a hidden gem.

Fantastic fresh, locally sourced food at reasonable prices, served in a pleasant, thriving and sociable atmosphere. Recommend Sunday lunch for all the family.

This pub has been transformed from a fairly freary tired looking pub in to a nice bright fish restaurant and wine bar. The fish is fresh and cooked nicely. It generally gets busy over the summer when you can sit out the front and watch the boats going up and down the river Medway.
