  “Went there for Sunday lunch today and the first class service from Shannon together with the scrumptious food were absolutely excellent; we had such a lovely chilled out time, just what a Sunday lunch is all about.. Would definitely recommend”

  “Well what a nice surprise! Wasn’t planned just stopped and went in for lunch. Ella and her colleague behind the bar were welcoming and engaging. Food took a while but was really worth the wait. Well done The Ship & Bell, if I lived closer I’d be back sooner.”

  “Called in without a booking for food, no problem. Nice place. Everyone really nice. Food was decent also, quite a wait for food, but they were busy and did advise there would be when ordered.”

  “I had the Beef Stroganoff—it was honestly incredible! The meat was cooked to perfection, packed with flavour, and served with a rich, delicious sauce and fluffy rice. ​Aside from the fantastic food, the staff were brilliant, so welcoming, and really made the experience special. ​100% would go back. Highly recommend checking this place out!”

  “This was the first time in a long while my wife and I had been to the Ship & Bell. What a difference. A really friendly pub with a great atmosphere. The manager and staff were really friendly and welcoming and it was so nice to see a cross section of families and elderly people enjoying the day. We will definitely come back.”

  “I loved it, the food was amazing, good value for money. The staff were great and the atmosphere was good too! I will certainly be a regular from now on. If you want a good meal at good price go try it for yourself you won't be disappointed.”

  “We had a fantastic experience at The Ship and Bell! Fletch and Ella were absolutely amazing from start to finish. You could clearly see how busy they were, but they never stopped smiling and their energy was brilliant. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made us feel really welcome throughout our visit. Both of them were fantastic, friendly, attentive, and a real credit to the place. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

  “Firstly, Fletch is a total credit to the Ship & Bell - such a kind, engaging member of the team & made us feel so welcome. Incredible roast dinner, my partner (bit of a food critic) rated it a 10/10 which is unheard of! Thank you for a lovely afternoon.”

  “Out of 5 meals, 4 of them had issues. Stone cold fish, uncooked sausages, stroganoff with no cream, philly cheese steak with no cheese and dirty fries missing pulled chicken. Because they were so short staffed it took ages to get someone over to explain these issues to. Thankfully the one good meal was for my son. The manager did agree to remove a number of the meals from the bill as they couldn't be eaten and was very apologetic. It wasnt his fault, was the chef who seemed to be focused more on the Sunday roasts who was at fault. Meant my wife and mother barely had any food. Maybe we'll try somewhere else next time we're in the area. Have also just seen another review mentioning getting a £100 fine for parking in the pubs car park. No staff mentioned anything about registering upon entry and caring for a young child, you arent exactly on the look out for parking signs in a seemingly free pub car park. If I do receive a penalty notice, I'll be expecting it to be cancelled allng with my Dads car. Especially considering the terrible experience we had in the pub itself”
