The Ship Inn - Lymington

Just so average and 'McPub'.....cold pea purée with fishcakes. Obviously frozen then deep fried fishcakes and husband's fish batter was far too thick and greasy. Such a shame, too many tables packed in.....a 'pack 'em in' attitude resulting in very mediocre food.

Slow and terrible service, mediocre food and overpriced. We ordered at 6:03pm but they wouldn't give us the deal as the order was going through 3 minutes after 6pm and it finished at 6. We had travelled a long way to dine here and were really unimpressed.

very good

Service was very slow, & unfortunately the food we both chose was disappointing.

Nice setting, booked online. Attentive staff and good meal. I only had a main course which was very good.

Great meal and service considering it was the middle of a long weekend, very busy.

Have eaten here several times now and the problem is inconsistency. Sometimes good, and although last night started well the problems soon set in. An interminable wait for our main courses, which then arrived cool or cold, can only mean that they sat on the pass and were ignored for quite a while. When this place have staff that are electronically linked to the food ordering and service system how can this happen.

Lovely staff. Felix is a great asset and have experienced same level of friendliness on previous occasions from others. My hamburger was a bit overcooked but my daughter in law loved her duck leg starter.

We came in on Friday 20th January. The restaurant is very nice and the staff very attentive. The problem was that the prawn starters weren't very nice. We had to leave most of it as some were actually off. However the prices for these were taken off the bill.
The main meals of cod and double cooked chips was disappointing. The fish was really lovely but the chips although nice and brown were slightly hard in the middle. I wonder if perhaps it would be better to just cook basic chips.
Overall we enjoyed the service and ambience but the meal was just a bit disappointing.

The Ship is great. Lovely location by the water at the bottom of the cobbled high street. We ordered off of the fixed price menu which is excellent value. The food was presented well and delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, however the restaurant was busy and both our starter and main plates were left on the table for quite a while. Overall we had a great experience.
