The Ship Stock - Chelmsford

We had our Christmas lunch for people as a club at the Ship Inn, Stock Rd, Chelmsford, and, although they were short staffed at the time, our meal was served efficiently and tasted delicious. They went out of their way to welcome us and tended to our needs. I recommend it for a meal at any time.The setting is oak beamed and our club had the mezzanine floor to ourselves, which was nice.

I booked The Ship Inn as a lunch stop for my Ramblers club as I was leading a walk around the area. I had contacted Maria previously and explained the possible numbers and the fact I would telephone mid walk to pass the food orders over the phone. This was done with ease at the time suggested (our elevenses coffee stop on the walk) and not even the fact there would be of us seemed to concern Maria. On arrival at the pub, we were led through to an area with tables set up nicely and Xmas crackers on the tables for our lunch this was a lovely touch and a nice surprise. All the food that was served was of good quality and plenty of it too, with a very helpful Maria and her staff on hand for any queries. All of our group commented how nice the food and setting was.I am sure we shall return!

The staff made us feel welcome and took care of all our needs. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any meal. The setting is charming with oak beams, and our club had the entire mezzanine floor to ourselves, which was a lovely touch.

Quite surprised to see a couple of bad reviews posted recently for this place. We have been going to the Ship for months or so we just love it there. Not only is the food really lovely but also has a great atmosphere...run by really lovely people. We’ve had some great meals here. To name a few the T-Bone steak, lobster Thermidor but recently we tried the seafood platter the prawns were delicious we love their Oysters! I hate to see a really nice place slandered on social media. Please don’t be put off. You will be missing out if you don’t visit this place.
