Quick info
About The Ship Great Clacton
On Valley Rd in Clacton On Sea, The Ship Great Clacton is a pub and restaurant at number 2. Bikers gather at the pub, and motorbikes rev outside, which gives riders a place to meet other riders on two wheels. Dogs come into the pub too, and they bark and run around inside. Visitors who prefer a quiet doorway should know that engine noise and animals are part of the picture here, while those who arrive by bike or with a dog will find company.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers mostly describe a pub where rude staff and loud bikers revving motorbikes dominate the experience. Food draws complaints too: a gammon with a fried egg described as oily, and sausages burnt black, with service called below average. Dogs roam the pub, barking and running around, and one parent says two big dogs jumped at a newborn, though another calls the dogs beauties.

- Connor Mackinnon
“Please beware of dogs anyone with young children, no signage and zero control over dogs. I walked in with my newborn baby and was welcomed by two big dogs trying to jump all over her as staff just watched on.”

“Nice pub but full of rude aggressive bikers”
- Sar Kay
“Incredibly rude staff. Witnessed three separate (unrelated) people come into the pub and request that the loud bikers stop continually revving their motorbikes (so far, has been going on since 12:00). The landlady called one woman a “stupid, fat c*nt” because she said her little sister couldn’t sleep at half seven at night. The landlady and her husband then proceeded to follow two separate men (at different times) and try to attack them with the bikers revving in the background.”
