   Fantastic meal and a thoroughly enjoyable night was had by our party. Friendly service, good choice of meals on the menu. Pub looks good from the outside and pretty big rear car park. Rustic interior but clean. Be aware that this Inn serves the local community but we have no issue with that but it’s not a fancy place just down to earth providing good quality food and drink in a clean environment at a good price point.

   It is one of our locals so we have others we could go to but we keep going there so it must be good value.

   Good choice of food and excellent value, the young man that served us was brilliant, will definitely come again with other friends and I fully recommend the Ship in distress for a casual meal and drink.

   Lovely Valentines evening, nice touches on the table with confetti hearts, red candle and chocolates. We had starters & main which included a bottle of wine all within the price. Great service and it was just perfect.

   Please leave the side mural. I was expecting to see the front with a mural. Inside it is very inviting with a lot of space. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The menus were impressive with great food selections. Thank you to all.

   hi Steve i'm glad to hear you enjoyed your visit with us and was nice to meet you and hope to see you again soon. regarding the mural it wasn't me who removed it was already gone when i started 4 years ago i guess as we are no longer a fish restaurant it seemed not necessary to have anymore.

   This was the second year having Christmas lunch at The Ship in Distress. The food was excellent, tasty , nicely presented and hot. Service by staff was very friendly and no shortage of smiles. Excellent Christmas Day lunch and will be booking for 2025.
