The Ship - Southwark

Great pub, great guinness, and good atmosphere. Bar can be a little slow, but otherwise fantastic.

Had the most delicious food here! We come here all the time as we live nearby and finally tried the food which exceeded expectations, hence the review. Reda served our food himself and was a dream. Couldn’t recommend it enough for a pint and some dinner!

Usually quite a decent pub but on Euro 2024 finals day they let it get dangerously overcrowded in here. It was completely wedged and there was no monitoring of how many people were in the pub. It was detrimental to business as it was impossible to get to the bar so only managed to have a couple of initial drinks. As people couldn’t get to the toilets they were also urinating in the street. Ahead of it getting so busy I ordered a pint and the shish taouk. The girl behind the bar was quite rude in taking my order as I didn’t have my table number. Even though it wasn’t as busy as for the game it was still to the point of being too busy to easily get to my table and a ten minute wait to get served. She said she couldn’t take a food order without a table number and was really rude about it. I know it was an error on my part but any well versed member of staff would realise the difficulties to get to the bar and know roughly what tables were where or make a note as to where I say. As for the food the portion was minuscule and the chicken overcooked. At £15.50 it was a complete waste of money. It came with pots of yoghurt and chilli sauce which barely had anything in them. You’d also expect some bread thrown in but no such luck. Avoid the food here and try somewhere else. I’ve been here several times before and on a usual day it’s a good pub. However the poor food and rude staff will make me think twice in future.

I love this pub, but not for food. The quality of the food is fine, even quite good, but considering it's decent pub food and not fine dining, the portion sizes and price are WAAAAAYYYY off. Please, either give much bigger portions or drop the price quite a lot. currently it ruins my experience here and stops it from being my local.

Great beer garden and overall nice pub. Food menu looks great but those us who ate weren't impressed. But otherwise great pub
