Eaten here several times, always great food at reasonable prices as the quality is fantastic. Like the fact they change their menu regularly, so nice to eat something different each time. Sunday roasts are particularly worth a mention, freshly cooked and plenty of it. Service is good , staff are friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend.
Amazing from start to finish. Staff are so friendly and welcoming, made me feel comfortable as soon as I checked in. The rooms are so beautiful with everything you need for a short stay. I did not eat in the restaurant but the food did look and smell incredible. I would definitely recommend staying here and the surrounding area is lovely with great walks.
Clean and tidy pub with friendly staff and customers. An interesting collection of beers to sample and the loaded fries with pulled pork and melted cheese was amazing, and only £6.75.
A very lovely pub with excellent food. I was having a day out to myself and ended up in Burnham-on-Crouch. I decided I wanted to have a pub lunch and did a recce of the pubs on offer. They all look nice and seemed to have their plus points, but I settled for the Ship Inn and was very pleased I did. It's traditional but tastefully modernised, the staff was wonderfully welcoming. A good selection of beers and I ordered the fish and chips - it was high quality, skilfully prepared and nicely presented. Spot on
Had lovely meal with friends but would recommend asking for a table at the back of the restaurant. We were seated right next to the bar and it was so noisy we couldn’t talk to each other. Which is a shame as we hadn’t seen each other for a long while! Had to leave as soon as we had finished eating.
A one night stay and from arrival to departure all the staff were polite and very helpful. We arrived early and our room was ready. The room was spacious and clean. The bathrobe and slippers are a nice touch. We ate in the restaurant and the food was top class with good service. Breakfast was continental style and plenty of it. Overall we had a really good stay and will certainly return
Excellent food and great service from staff on a busy night. It’s a great location if you want to explore Burnham and the Dengie peninsula. We will certainly be going back.
Nice, friendly staff and good food. Lovely location near the sea but not too close. Very busy on a beautiful hot day, as you'd expect. Clean facilities
First class pub. Great food and excellent service. We were a large group of hungry walkers and they catered for us brilliantly. Special shout out for Molly. Highly recommended
A lovely hotel with comfy well appointed rooms, spaces for people staying here out the back in a private car park and a well run restaurant and pub. Lovely to grab a drink and sit outside in the sunshine to people watch before wandering around Burnham.
