The Ship Parkgate

Overnight stay at The Ship was great, room 24 had views across the Dee and as it was Novemebr 5th the evening sky was lit with a wide display of fireworks! A cool evening but the sash window opened wide which was a bonus. Traffic noise was not an issue in this room. A sound sleep on for me a comfortable bed. Plenty of hanging space with the wardrobe and bedside storage. The desk was functional with the tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom was spacious with a shower so for those who like a bath this would not be the room for you. All clean and felt housekeeping was doing their job. Staff friendly and made to feel welcomed. We did not take any refreshments other than what was in the room so cannot comment on that. An enjoyable short stay but welcomed and we will return, the cost of the room comapred to taxi rides makes it very affordable. The following morning drove from the large carpark refreshed an happy.

We were really looking forward to a Sunday lunch here as the menu sounded really appealing but sadly we were left feeling a little disappointed. Some staff were much friendlier and accommodating than others. The beef was nice but the carrots and green beans were terrible. There wasn’t much effort put into the veggie alternative roast dinner. The starters were hit and miss too, the meatballs were very chewy which was a shame ….in the end we decided to opt out of getting a pudding and went to Nicholls for ice cream instead.

What a thoroughly positive experience, a real treasure of a Place. Excellent value, customer service, food, ales and atmosphere. The rooms were spaciou,clean and comfortable. I would recommend

My family and I had a delightful Sunday lunch at The Ship. Three of us ordered the roast beef, which was plentiful and delicious, served with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, and a great selection of vegetables. For dessert, we enjoyed peach melba, basque cheesecake, and chocolate brownie, all of which were delicious and generously portioned. The service was prompt and attentive without being overwhelming. The staff even accommodated a request for well-done roast beef instead of pink, which must have required some persuasion with the chef!

We recently visited this restaurant for the first time since it was renovated. The ambiance was delightful, but we were disappointed with the high prices. We ordered a prawn and crab fish sandwich and received a small piece of bread with a few prawns and crab fish, along with a small serving of rocket. The meal was not worth the expense, and it has deterred us from coming back in the future. Overall, we were very disappointed with our experience.
