The Ship Winchelsea

Stumbled across by chance, utterly wonderful treasure of a place. Dog friendly.
We had nachos and a Stilton ploughman's.
The nachos were recommended and were next level, the ploughman's was absolutely wonderful, from the home pickled egg to the beautiful ham and pork pie were all top quality.
We were so impressed we booked Sunday lunch, super excited for this.
What a wonderful little discovery.

This restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped through the door, I was impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor is beautifully designed, creating an elegant and sophisticated ambiance that immediately put me at ease.
Thank you so much
Highly recommend

One of the most beautiful garden restaurants I have ever been to. The food is great and the deserts absolutely decadent. Altogether a fabulous experience. Thursdays steak day I believe, good value for money.

Happened upon this pub accidently, from the outside it looks small but inviting. WOW inside is amazing, very nice decor, attentive staff and nice choice of food and drinks. But the best bit is the rear garden...it has trees, bushes, flowers and all kinds of plants all enclosing little/larger seating areas. The drinks were lovely sat out in the sun there and the light bites were cooked to perfection. There is also a deli counter in a shop area also selling fancy Gins, Tequilas and other lovely items. IF YOUR IN THE AREA, DEFINITELY CHECK THIS PLACE OUT 👌💯🥰

Beautiful food and helpful staff, doesn't seem to be chain type generic food and looked and tasted wonderful. I just wish it wasn't 400+ miles away from where I stay. The best pub food I've ever had and possibly ranks as high as any Restaurant. Will definitely return if ever in that area again or even if near that area I would go out my way to go back.

A real treat. The ShipsBBQ in the stunning garden was delicious for the Platinum Jubilee. Great decor inside too really unique. The Laine brew IPA was a new to me and excellent. Finally the staff too were friendly and helpful

Delicious food and lovely customer service.
Highly recommended
Will come back

A superb steak from the in-house butchers with chips, washed down with a pint of Harvey’s, can’t go wrong! Highly recommended.

Oh my god this place has the best pub garden I have ever seen on my entire life. So much so that we’re going to stay for another. It’s beautifully sheltered if you need a break from the coastal winds. It does coffee and good looking cakes and has its own deli and butchers. It’s quirky and homely.

We had a lovely meal here, we will be back and have already recommended it to friends

Stopped by on a really hot day a week or so ago and sat in the beautiful garden to enjoy 2 excellent burgers and wine. Great service at a reasonable price. Couldn't fault anything.

Brilliant chef, most delicious food I've had cooked out for a long time xx

Friendly staff, excellent food. We have never had any problems when we frequent this lovely inn. The garden is simply amazing and really nice to eat and drink in. dogs are welcome in the garden which is great as we have a husky puppy who we don't like leaving on his own. We always look forward to a meal here when we visit our holiday home.

I always love The Ship. Good food, great people, lovely decor, fantastic shop, and free wifi! What more could you need!

We really enjoyed here, we had a shared olives, cold meats and sourdough and was yummy. Garden area was really interesting.

First time visit to this place, absolutely loved it great decor, super friendly staff, smashing drinks and food and very dog friendly. Approx 25 miles from were we live,but definitely will pay another visit.

This place has an incredible butcher store in the pub. Incredible local produce, great deli with cured meats and cheeses. It is foodie heaven.
Pub is also great for food and drink. Great decor and huge garden out the back. Brilliant friendly stuff make this place a must visit. I always take a cool bag and buy some great cuts of meat and then stop for lunch.

If you want decent pub grub this is the place to devour it! Staff are friendly, approachable and informative and the food delicious. Full of nooks and crannies with comfortable seating. Not sure if they still allow dogs in but they used to. They also have a garden which is lovely on a dry day to lounge in. Excellent venue after a walk over the pebble beaches and paying homage to Spike Milligan. Child friendly too.

We visited The Ship on a lovely sunny day last Thursday. We sat out in the beatiful gardens where you could have been anywhere. It is a hidden gem definitely worth a visit. We had food and drinks . The staff were friendly and polite and very helpful. The food was of a very high standard. Best fish and chips and service was excellent. We will definitely visit this hidden gem again .

Lovely atmosphere. Excellent service. Will definitely be back. Thursday steak deal great value.
