We chose Swordfish steak, Tuna Steak, Sirlion with stilton and another Sirlion that came with an Apple Crumble desert. The vegetables accompanying the dishes were peas and carrots not much choice there! The steaks were cooked as ordered. The chips were very chunky and well cooked. The food was generally plain but generous enough portions. Salt & pepper came in little packets as did the butter. The fish was served plain no sauces. Overall I would describe the food as basic with no frills. A good pub lunch but not for a special occasion.

My favorite part was the bar and the employees. I felt very comfortable and at ease casually enjoying our food and drinks. I'm not sure if they still have it, but there was a pear cider, and a tequila beer called desperado. I really enjoyed those. Might I add the bar scene is quite lively after dark, and I recommend this place for all times of the day!

They have standards pub food such as fish and chips, bangers and mash etc. Th quality is good if not outstanding (don't expect an upscale gastropub as you might find in London). The atmosphere is welcoming and loud. We had two children with us and they did fine. When I am in the UK I really enjoy the pubs. We just don't seem to be able to get these right in the US although some of the new microbreweries are getting close. Anyway the ship and Castle is a good place to have dinner after visiting the exhibits at the Portsmouth Historic Dock complex as it is almost next door.
