The Ship - Portishead

Big pub, nicer renter and good food, what more they want.

Nice to be back again after lock down. Many improvements have been made, including a large outdoor under cover area, and a lot of completely open air seats. Good view of the Bristol channel and Wales. The landlord,Vic, is a fund of local knowledge, and a local character. I always enjoy a good pint, and good conversation. However, respect the hostelry, or you might find why mine host is thought.to be related to Basil Fawlty! A really good local, worth a visit.

If you prefer a modern theme pub don't go here. The Ship is a proper pub with a friendly and welcoming local Landlord and Landlady. The beer is very well kept and among the best you'll get anywhere and very reasonably priced. And they now take payment by card (although I think cash is preferred). Keep up the good work Vic and Debbie! Thank you!

This is a genuine pub with a clean atmosphere and friendly staff who are very knowledgeable, having run the place for years. The sea view is fantastic, and the food offers excellent value for money. The steak and chips are particularly good, priced at just £9.50. The bar is well-maintained, and the award-winning gardens provide a lovely spot to sit outside during the summer. It's the perfect place to enjoy a pint after a coastal walk. I'll definitely be returning!

I went to a pub for lunch with a friend yesterday. It was just like pubs used to be. The steak was fantastic, and the Stella was perfectly chilled. Overall, a great experience! Cheers, Steve.
