I popped into here twice whilst staying on the caravan site (also called the pilgrim fathers - but…read moreno connection) to the rear of the pub. Nice pint of "black sheep" ale at £2.80 pp served in lovely old style pub with log burning stoves. Sunday lunchtime, we went for the carvery at £5.95 - marvellous! Choice of 4 meats with as much veg as you can get on your plate - I have to say that I have never had as much meat put on my plate at any other carvery before, all cooked well. Great pub just 2 mins from Bawtry - so will visit again!

Will certainly visit again when passing.

visited The Ship for food, we ordered the fish 2 for £20. We were over charged when ordering the…read morefood and drinks to start with. However they did say they will refund back on to the card, which we are still yet to receive. We had nearly finished our drinks around an hour later and I had to ask how much longer will the food be. The lady then ran into the back and appeared 5 mins later with the food. We could see the chips looked well overdone but thought we will try them and see. All we could taste was a burnt flavour and waited around 10-15 min to find a member of staff to report it to. I asked the lady for replacement chips. She then walked off into the back with one of the plates of food, left the second on the bar. About 10 minutes later the lady reappeared carrying the plate, picked up the plate that had been sat on the bar and slammed the food back on the table. The lady then picked a chip off the plate and squashed it in front of my mothers face, then threw the chip back on the plate of food and said there is nothing wrong with them. That's how we serve them. I said you have touched the food so we couldn't even eat it anyway now. Then the landlord came over picked up a few chips of the other plate tapped them on the table and said there fine and threw it back on the plate. We asked for a refund as this was unacceptable. 2 other customers said they were burnt and got up and left without eating. The lady then proceeded to shout across the bar saying they are not Wetherspoons and that is how they cook their food.The lady continued shouting at us abusively, all we asked was for fresh edible chips. The landlord eventually said he will replace it with fresh chips which he then explained were microwaved and in a disposable packet when presented to us. They explained they pre cook the chips in the fryer then when ordered they microwave them refry them, microwave them and refry again. Which resulted in burned hard greasy chips. I will not recommend this establishment to visit. The most concerning was the lady's attitude and abusive nature to us as paying customers. To feel threatened while explaining our concern is not what you want when going out for a special meal with my mother. I would hope the lady has realised that when customer facing you should not shout abusive comments and touch customers food. This is a disgrace and we are feeling physically shaken by the horrific experience. We have had to throw the food away as it was not edible.

The owners have done a superb job of making this country pub into a modern restaurant and bar with a beautiful outdoor area. Even if you're not eating here it great to just come and enjoy a drink inside or out. The staff can't do enough for you and every one is so friendly. The meals are great and they have specials on the blackboard, most of us had the burgers at £12.95 each which is a great price! The manager also came to say hello to make sure we was all happy! This is the best country pub I've ever been too and can't wait to go back! Just a shame it's no where near where we live in Manchester otherwise we would be regulars!

The food was nice and home made for a change. Prices wern't bad, but the portions could have been bigger only got about 6 chips. Staff were friendly enough, but it's definately a local pub for local people you get looked at funny when you first walk in. They had a flatscreen TV showing Eastenders which depressed the hell out of me. There's plenty of other pubs in Bawtry, so won't be rushing back to the Ship, will go and try another instead next time.
