The Ship Inn, The Barn

We hired the external cabin for an afternoon 40th birthday celebration and were pleasantly surprised at what this great venue offers! Despite not having any closed doors the venue is kept cosy and warm by several electric and gas heaters which really do help to create a nice atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful and promptly replaced the gas cylinder when it ran empty. We ordered pizzas from the menu which were all delicious and went down well with guests. Overall this is a great place to host a private party and I will be recommending to friends!

We went in for a drink on a Friday evening before Christmas. It was so busy. Nice bar service. They had a panto outside in a marquee, which wasn’t expected and was a lovely surprise. We paid and watched, it was good fun and not planned. Good atmosphere in the busy pub.

Only one bartender who didn't have time to light the fireplace so I froze (the main USP for this old man pub is the fireplace ambience). Usually really good.
