Quick info
About The Ship Inn Caerleon
The Ship Inn Caerleon is a pub in Newport on New Rd, with a huge beer garden for adults and a ship-themed playship that gives children their own space to play. The kitchen serves a Sunday roast with a choice of beef or lamb, and the plate comes with roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. The Ship burger sits on the menu for those who want something other than a roast. Parents can sit in the garden while the children use the play area, so one visit covers both age groups. The pub also hosts private functions and big group bookings.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roast is what reviewers praise most, with beef and lamb described as tender, crisp roast potatoes and plenty of gravy. Staff are called friendly and helpful, and one group of 21 had no complaints. Complaints are serious but fewer: one reviewer says the Ship burger left two diners poorly, another describes a walk-in family told food was off after queuing at the bar.

“Great food, excellent menu options. Really friendly and helpful staff who made us feel very welcome. Very accommodating as our party of 7 did not pre book, but they showed nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend.”

“We had a lovely meal for a big group for my daughters 30th birthday but maybe because it was pre-ordered so a little tip, book in advance as my husband and I called in Friday lunchtime with our two young grandchildren and queued at the bar for quite a while before being told due to kitchen issues they were not taking walk ins for food. The young waitress with long black hair did see me with a baby in a buggy holding menus and salt and vinegar about 15 minutes earlier so it would have been appreciated if she had mentioned that there were no walk in food orders. I asked for a spoon to feed my grandson but she was more interested in talking to some customers she knew. Not a great experience. Such a shame as they have a lovely set up there for children with their play area.”

“We had our business meal here today #TeamFitnessFusion and the hospitality was absolutely incredible! Every single staff member was attentive with great communication and manners. The food was amazing!!! Every single person with us gave the food 10/10! - friendly and welcome door staff and a lovely big car park for ease of access! Couldn’t fault the place! 10/10”

“We visited the Ship for a birthday meal as I haven’t been for a number of years. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. We had the Ship burger (£16) and this has left me and my wife poorly. The bar staff weee slow and more interested in talking to themselves than taking orders and even seen a bar staff member leave the toilet without washing her hands. It was supposed to be a birthday celebration but turned out to be a waste of money. I would not recommend this pub to anyone.”
