Had a nice experience at this pub, it?s massive inside, cosy clean and very friendly staff. Unfortunately I was very disappointed with my food. I had the Chicken with bacon and hand cut chips, when the chicken came it tasted like it was microwaved, it tasted like pork, super tough and hard to chew. I asked them to change it as I couldn?t eat it, I got a risotto instead and unfortunately that was very bland no flavour what so ever. I won?t be returning for food but for the pub it?s lovely.

Had a lovely meal here and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had the cheese fondue to start and it was one of the best things I have ever tasted! If they made a mac and cheese with that cheese sauce I would travel the 5 hours back to try it. Our mains were also both very tasty, we were rather full from the cheese but the staff were more than happy to box up our leftovers. Thanks!

The pub restaurant we'd booked had an emergency so had to cancel us. We were rather 'lost' as to where to go. We had driven past this pub on a couple of occasions - the outside appears very drab - but we were stuck and it was getting late so we went in. What a wonderful surprise! We were warmly welcomed by the excellent Gail - she was lovely, professional, charming and made us feel immediately relaxed. The interior is excellent - so different to the outside. They have an excellent menu but we wondered what the quality would be - we were not disappointed! My husband had Hake with chorizo etc, I had a kind of chicken carbonara pasta (I commented that I'd never eat it all....but I did!!), daughter had fried chicken and plain pasta (she's a picky eater!!) and lovely garlic doughballs. Everything was full of flavour and freshly cooked. The manager also chatted to us and he was most personable too. We just wish we'd discovered this pub earlier in the holiday, but we shall be back just as soon as we can - probably next September! Be aware that there is virtually no parking immediately available.

We booked a table for 2 for 6 p.m. When we arrived,we went to the bar and told the person who we were and he then asked if we wanted drinks before he picked up the menus and asked us to follow him to our table.We were told that he or a colleague would come and take our order shortly.Once our order had been taken. We only had a short wait.When the food arrived. We were impressed!We had gone for the set menu of starter, main meal and dessert. The starter was a good sized portion as was the main and dessert.The food was very tasty.The pub has a narrow walkway up to the dining area. It's just wide enough for one person. Once you are in the dining area there is about 8 tables. There was an additional seating area beyond the first dining area and there was a small beer garden.The staff were all very nice and polite. They all seemed very busy and very happy to help.There wasn't a huge wait between being served our food and the plates being cleared.Everything seemed to work really well and the tables were cleared quickly for the next customers.There wasn't a lot of space in the bar area but it was enough for the people wanting to stand and drink at the bar.There are toilets. There is a sign in the first dining room which points to where they are.As nobody in our party used them. I just know there are toilets in the Inn.We were staying at the local Premier Inn and because they couldn't book us in to their restaurant due to a lack of staff. We booked a meal at the Ship Inn.We certainly were glad we did. It certainly was Premier Inn 's lossThe directions said that it would take about 10 minutes to walk from the hotel and it was exactly that!The Ship inn is a great eaterie and the staff definitely deserve recognition.A great evening.

Great atmosphere at the Ship, the staff couldn't be more attentive, Wednesday Pasta evening was excellent, the food was lovely, quality and quantity just right.Although it was a busy evening the staff worked so hard, personally I was sweating for them. Well done guys your hospitality skills definitely showed your commitment to the Ship. Definitely recommend, but please consider there is very little parking space, so shank's pony is a must.

Visited this pub on numerous occasions over the years whilst holidaying in Cornwall. Staff are very friendly and helpful, the food is excellent and they are dog friendly. You may need to book a table so always check, if you are in the area would definitely recommend.

Had an amazing midweek, three course set menu meal here. Starter - Dough balls, Main - pepperoni pizza and dessert - tiramisu. Under £20! There were several sides to choose from plus a normal menu if you did want a set one. The staff were accommodating, friendly and efficient. Wouldn't hesitate to return!

Terrible food every single portion of chips was soggy, my hake skin was slimy and the cod from the cod and chips was burnt but undercooked on the inside (clearly have the oil too hot) the cod also left a pool of oil on the plate, not very appealing. We had some charges removed by the waitress but couldn?t help feel out of pocket due to all of it being really quite terrible. There were so many things wrong with the dining experience here that I?d question if there was actually a qualified chef in the kitchen. The manager came over to offer his apology, I felt I had to point out these where basics that are pretty hard to mess up,he clearly didn?t like what I?d said as he then turned and walked off(clearly not a fan of constructive criticism.I will say though the area we were seated in was lovely and had a very nice atmosphere. I did like that they had David Attenborough on the tvs and not sports, I felt this gave a a very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. It?s a real shame the food was so terrible especially as it was recommended by Friends.Needless to say we will never waste our money here again.

Food luke warm after waiting over 30 minutes for our food. Requested a table downstairs due to disability and we're seated upstairs. No comment made when we told them. Staff vaping behind the bar. Not good won't be back.

Great quality tasty food for all the family. We booked on the day to reserve table. Lots of choice and a lovely children?s menu available. We had a generous size sharing platter for starters. Meat balls were delicious! Would definitely recommend. Staff very friendly and happy to help. Main courses were a little too big for our appetites .

We visited this pub for Sunday lunch as it had been recommended online by other holidaymakers?we were not disappointed. My husband & I had the roast beef which was mouth-wateringly delicious. Our son opted for the pizza & fries which was also a huge thumbs up. The dog was more than welcome, which is big deal for us & he was allowed in the upper restaurant part which was lovely. The staff were welcoming, friendly & attentive. If you?re in the area it?s a must visit!
