Father’s Day at The Ship Inn 🍻

It’s coming round fast, and we’re already starting to fill up for Father’s Day but if you are quick we do still have limited availability .

If you’re thinking of joining us, it’s worth getting booked in sooner rather than later — we’d hate to have to turn anyone away on the day.

Bring Dad down for breakfast or a proper Sunday roast, a pint of something good, and a relaxed afternoon with the family. No rushing, no cooking, just good food and a warm welcome.

Give us a call or pop in to book your table — we’d love to see you.

🥩🔥 Steak Night Thursdays at The Ship 🔥🥩

Thursdays are all about Steak Frites here at The Ship — the perfect way to ease into the weekend.

Enjoy a chargrilled 8oz Welsh bistro rump steak served with sea salted fries and herby garlic butter for £19.95. And if steak’s not your thing, we’ve got a delicious roasted cauliflower steak with salsa verde and fries too.

Add your favourite sauce — peppercorn, blue cheese, truffle mornay or Diane — and maybe a side (halloumi fries and truffle & parmesan chips are always popular).

It’s a great excuse to get together, enjoy some proper comfort food, and make a night of it. We recommend booking ahead as Thursdays tend to fill up quickly.

See you Thursday? 🍷
