The Ship Inn

What a brilliant Thursday quiz night — and on a rainy evening too.
We had 10 teams packed, 6 wipeouts, and a finish so close it came down to just half a point. You lot never make it easy.

🥇 3 Amigos — 33 points
🥈 Sausage, Mash + Gravy — 32.5 points

Huge thank you to everyone who came out despite the weather. The atmosphere was spot‑on, the competition was fierce, and you made it another cracking night at The Ship.

We’ll see you next week for our winter quiz start time of 7:15pm — get settled early, grab your drinks, and let’s do it all again.

Say hello to Proper Job, our bold new golden IPA pouring for a short time only.

Powerfully hopped and packed with vibrant citrus, grapefruit and pineapple flavours, this authentic IPA lands with a crisp, bitter finish that keeps you coming back for more. Crafted with Willamette, Cascade and Chinook hops, it’s everything a proper pint should be — bright, refreshing and full of character.

Taste: Citrus-forward, bold, bitter finish
ABV: 4.5%

A proper original with proper flavour — grab a pint while it’s here.

And when someone says, “Can I have a Proper Job, please?”
Just smile and say, “Why, what’s your job like?”

Three years today — and what a journey it’s been.We didn’t even realise the date until it arrived, but looking back, it’s incredible to see how far The Ship has come. From our first day opening the doors to the packed summer afternoons, cosy winter evenings, live music weekends, charity events, and everything in between — every moment has shaped who we are.

To our staff, past and present: thank you for your hard work, your heart, your humour, and everything you’ve poured into The Ship. You’ve weathered busy weekends, unpredictable weather, and unforgettable nights, and we’re grateful for every single shift.

And to our guests — thank you for choosing us, supporting us, celebrating with us, and making The Ship part of your routine. Whether you’ve popped in for a quiet pint, danced in the beer garden, or joined us for live music, you’ve helped us grow into the community pub we’re proud to be.Three years down, and we’re just getting started.

Here’s to the next chapter, the next memories, and many more good times by the sea. 💛⚓

Everyone is rooting for this new venture in Brotton and we wish you all the best 🍀♥️🐴🐑

❤️ A dream two years in the making… and one that means more than words can ever say. ❤️

There have been so many moments over the last two years where we wondered if we’d ever get to write this post. The long days, sleepless nights, setbacks, stress, tears and celebrations have all led to this moment…

🌿 𝗚𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗣𝗦 𝗙𝗔𝗥𝗠 𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗬 – 𝟮𝟭𝗦𝗧 𝗔𝗨𝗚𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲! 🌿

Our Farm Shop, Deli, Café and Petting Farm are finally opening their doors, and we cannot believe we can finally say it.

This isn’t just the opening of a new business. This is the fulfilment of a dream that started with one man’s crazy idea…

Our Dad. Our Sidney. ❤️

Two years ago, he had this vision of creating somewhere families could come together, children could experience farm life, people could enjoy good food, support local produce and make memories that would last a lifetime. To many people it probably sounded a little mad… but if you knew our dad, you’d know he never did anything by halves.

Sadly, in October 2025, we lost him to cancer before he got the chance to see his vision become reality. He never got to walk through these doors as a customer, hear children laughing as they met the animals or sit with a coffee watching everything he had imagined come to life.

Anyone who knew him knows he was an absolute legend. Larger than life, full of ideas, endlessly determined and someone who made a lasting impression on everyone he met. There isn’t a single day that goes by where we don’t wish he was here to see this.

Every fence that’s been built, every animal that’s arrived, every shelf that’s been stocked and every corner that’s been created has been done with him in our hearts.

And now, this Friday, 21st August 2026, we finally get to open the gates and welcome you all in. ❤️

🐐 Our Petting Farm will be open, ready for you to meet all of our wonderful animals.
🛍️ Our Farm Shop & Deli will be open, stocked with a growing range of produce, treats and everyday essentials.
☕ Our Café will also be open, serving drinks, cakes and a selection of light bites while we put the finishing touches to our full menu and kitchen. We have so much more planned, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

🎟️ Tickets aren’t available to purchase online just yet, but keep your eyes peeled — we’ll be sharing more information very soon!

🚧 We do ask for a little patience while we complete the outdoor area. The emu enclosure and pond walk, along with our children’s play park, are still under construction. We’d rather open our doors now and continue building this special place with you than keep you waiting any longer.

This is only the beginning. We have so many exciting plans for the future, and we hope you’ll enjoy watching us grow.
Finally, thank you.

To everyone who has supported us over the last two years, encouraged us when things felt impossible, shared our journey and believed in this dream, we honestly couldn’t have done it without you.

If you could like, comment and share this post, it would mean the world to us. Every share helps us reach another family, another supporter and another person who can become part of what we’re building.

Dad, this one’s for you. We only wish you were here to see it.

We hope we’ve made you proud. ❤️
📍 Gripps Farm, Brotton, Saltburn-by-the-Sea

We can’t wait to welcome you all through our gates and begin this next chapter together.
See you Friday. 🌾🐄🐐❤️

The Moondogs are back this August! Sunday the 16th (1–3pm). There’s something special about a Ship Inn Sunday when The Moondogs roll in — that familiar buzz, the classic tunes, and the kind of feel‑good energy that takes you right back. We’re hoping for a bit of sunshine as we head into August, and we’re bringing back one of our all‑time favourites to match the mood. Expect golden hits from the 50s and 60s, proper sing‑along moments, and that nostalgic warmth only The Moondogs can deliver. Grab a drink, gather your mates, and settle in for an afternoon that feels like summer memories in the making. See you there.
