About The Ship Inn
The Ship Inn is a pub on 6 Main St in Rotherham, open daily with breakfast served in the mornings. The menu runs to scampi, steak pie with gravy, a sizzler platter, and a Sunday roast dinner, with chips served as proper fat brown chips alongside a choice of garden peas or mushy peas. Draught beer includes John Smiths. Table service is provided by waiters and waitresses, and tables can be reserved in advance, though the pub also takes walk-ins. Outdoor seating at the front and rear suits those who want to eat in the open air, and a step-free entrance allows access for visitors with mobility needs. Dogs are welcome throughout. A car park to the side and rear of the pub gives parking for those arriving by car.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roasts draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers singling out the roast beef dinner and steak pie with proper fat brown chips served alongside the scampi that comes up repeatedly as a favorite. Close behind, diners point to the sizzler platter, beef bourguignon, and a well-liked combo sharing plate, along with a beer and cider selection and a Merlot mentioned by name. Several describe the pub as good value, clean, and staffed by friendly servers, with more than one recommending it for group bookings, breakfasts, and even a wake catered by staff. A few reviewers flag reserved tables sitting empty while walk-ins are turned away, and one describes being refused a drink without ordering food, calling the staff rude on that visit. Another reviewer reports expensive pints and a toilet cubicle left flooded and unclean during their visit. Regulars still note returning for booked Christmas meals and repeat Sunday lunches after good experiences.

“Dissapointed with my experience at the Ship Inn Greasbrough. The pints were very expensive and the cubical was like a river. Looked like someone very drunk couldn’t aim into the toilet and has gone all over the floor causing me to to nearly slip”
