The Old Ship

This is a lovely pub with great views looking over to the solent and the Isle of Wight. We had dinner, we had the lemon chicken skewers, which were delicious and the chicken platter which was large and delicious. We were stuffed after that but managed to eat a pudding, apple caramel crumble with custard and ice cream and a sticky toffee pud also with custard and ice cream. Both really tasty. The staff were all very nice and service was very quick. We loved the food, we will definitely be going back again. *****

Very disappointed from this visit! Haven’t been her in a while and the food was terrible.

50% of mains that I wouldn’t even pay a £1 for! The food was not as described, I ordered a old faithful burger (served in a deeded and not brioche bun) as well as my partner ordering a steak.
After an hour wait on food- The steak was freezing, nobody to ask for help. My burger came out without onion rings and my side of Mac and cheese, when asked where they were the staff member just looked very puzzled as if it was our problem. There was no sense of urgency.
The chips were cold and tasted like they had been left there for ages. I would have rather stayed home and cooked a meal for our anniversary, this was not worth the trip.
I have reported this and commented on my service today so hoping to see hr deal with this is an orderly manner.
I’ve always been a visitor to the old ship prior to lockdown etc but I will not be returning. If you look at the photos you will see the fatty steak! And the non existent bbq sauce which my burger is supposed to have as well as the freezing cold unmelted cheese that looked as if it’s been launched on my burger.

OK.
In a good position as one 'tourists' around the sea.
Friendly staff

I wouldn't rush to go back, but I also would not 'bad mouth' the place.

I took my mum here for her birthday and food was delicious absolutely spot on 👌 staff was very friendly and polite lovely atmosphere! Then we enjoyed watching the sunset in their beautiful garden which overlooked the sea It was over all a lovely experience I will definitely be coming back thanks guys!! 🫶

Lovely food but there was a half hour wait, we expected this with it being the weekend but would of been nice to of been told this when being seated. Then had a long wait for the table to be cleared after we had finished our mains and I requested my pre ordered desert. We did however have a lovely Seaview which was gorgeous and wish our local sizzling had such nice surroundings. Free car park on site and the toilets were clean. Would return if ever in the area again.

Superb! Such lovely friendly staff. Nothing is too much trouble and their very friendly and polite. Prices are very reasonable and the food is fantastic. My family and I won't eat anywhere now that we have found this gem. Thank you to all the staff at the Old Ship,we had a great time and we're looking forward to your hospitality again.

staff are welcoming. Easy to use the QR code for ordering. Tasty food, and very big portions.

Really loved the food. Fresh and tasty. Amazing view of the sea from the deck watching the ships go by and having a pint.
