“We just popped in for a quick drink so can't comment on any food. According to Google, this is the oldest pub in Bridlington, (we'd have thought that that would have been down near the harbour?) & it is a lovely establishment inside with a number of rooms. Although it is a bit far out from the main town. If arriving by train, I'd go here first. They serve the usual drink lines with a few hand pulled real ales. We'll certainly pay The Old Ship Inn another visit when next in Brid.”
