Hahaaa! This place is such a dive!…read more You don't come here for a classy night out, is what I will say. Drink are standard prices, the staff work there because they want a job, not because they love it. You might get some silky dancing, but lower your expectations and you may have a bit of fun.

The managers in here seem to have lost the plot altogether, ive been barred out because apparently…read morei didn't work my notice correctly and as such this resulted in me being ejected from the premises. Even though I had handed my notice in to the pub, I didn't receive a telephone call, email, anything to say "no you have to come back" nothing, the management are that incompetent that they didn't know Id left till 2 weeks later, they didn't even read the notice at all, it was left behind the bar because they couldn't be bothered to deal with it. Hopefully with an official complaint the management rot will be swiftly dispatched as I have the evidence to have the lot shifted back to the dole where they belong, I will never walk into another weatherspoons establishment again they are a disgraceful pack of people who couldn't work in a team or run a prayer in a mosque let alone a knees up in a boozer !

The staff were lovely and friendly…read more We went for Sunday lunch and the food was fantastic. Very big portions and reasonably priced. The owner showed us round the accommodation that is available at the back of the public house, he showed us the disabled room, which was very well equipped, we would not hesitate to stay there or recommend it to anyone. There are plenty of parking spaces at the rear of the pub. We will return in the future to dine again.

The Ship Inn is a great restaurant/pub which always lives up to its fantastic reputation. The food…read moreis always amazing and Sheila has a wonderful, ever changing menu. This place is always top on my list to visit when I am in the north east.
