  “Popped in on a Thursday evening to see if they were serving food, which they were. There's a decent amount of vegan options on the menu which is great. Just maybe phone ahead to make sure they have things in. Unfortunately a few things were out of stock this evening, but I was still able to get some dinner. We were both happy with our food. The best thing was the service. We mostly spoke with one guy. I forgot to ask his name unfortunately, sorry! He was kind and accommodating and had the perfect vibe of friendly in a relaxed way that put me at ease. The pub was pretty quiet but that's exactly what we were looking for. We could have a perfectly audible and easy conversation. The playlist was spot on, bit of Backstreet Boys, bit of Jimmy Eat World. I was pleasantly surprised by the experience here. If they keep on top of their vegan food stock a bit better then that would be the cherry on top. Thank you to the two bar staff and the chef this evening.”

  “Had Sunday lunch here yesterday. I can honestly say it was the best Sunday lunch out I've ever had. massive potion and cooked perfectly. The landlord said it's a sports bar that sells food. I would say a great food pub that has the sport on. Well done all.”

  “Had such a lovely experience! The food was delicious and the service was amazing. A special mention to Alfie the bartender, who was so friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout. He really made our visit extra enjoyable. Great service and lovely atmosphere we’ll definitely be back!”

  “So bad it was funny Just attempts of avoiding eye contact from upper management when meal turned in to an hour wait and a disaster.”

  “Ordered the sweet freak, supposed to come with biscoff, biscoff sauce and springe of gravy. 50 minutes after ordering I was informed by the kitchen there’s no biscoff sauce but reassumed me there would be the biscuit. An hour after ordering the burger comes out with no biscuit, no gravy. It was nothing like I ordered. The chips were oily and hard, tasted like the oil in there fryer hasn’t been changed in a year. They get you to pay first as you wouldn’t pay after the service they give. All staff were incredibly rude, no one apologised or tried to make it right. Would 0 stars if I could. It’s disgusting and an absolute rip off”

  “Really disappointing experience at The Ship Inn, Emsworth. When we arrived, the pub was basically empty, so we were surprised when our food took around an hour to arrive. When we asked about the wait, we were told they were “very busy”, which was quite frustrating considering how quiet it appeared to be and that we had only ordered jacket potatoes. I completely understand that places can get busy and delays can happen, but waiting an hour for such a simple order, especially when the pub wasn’t particularly busy, was disappointing. Unfortunately, we left feeling like the service and experience could have been much better.”

  “The atmosphere without the World Cup on was traditional boozer. With it on, this place is now a core memory in my mind.”

  “We are local people and rarely go to The Ship. They do serve food past 3pm which is rare for Emsworth pubs. We ordered Mac and cheese chips, and a jacket with cheese and beans. Both arrived within 10 minutes and really well presented, but unfortunately my potato was undercooked in the middle and hard. Aaron came over and asked us how our food was and I explained the problem with my food. He was very apologetic and said that he would see to it that I would receive a freshly prepared one asap. My jacket had not arrived some 15 minutes later and Aaron saw me en route to the loo, and asked if I had received a replacement meal. He promptly went to the kitchen and my jacket arrived with complimentary drinks for the wait. Aaron's customer skills were excellent and I would visit again.”

  “So, The Ship Inn in Emsworth. Popped in for just a drink and stayed for lunch! We had the veggie nut roast and it was delicious. Everything you want from a Sunday roast and more. Staff were really lovely, prices very reasonable. Actually, could not fault it. Would recommend for a casual get together. The draught Amstel is especially good!! 😜 (booked a table for the following week! ) So visited after a long time. Great experience. Aaron gave us absolutely outstanding service. An absolute credit to your business. Will be returning very soon...100% recommended”
