Fantastic venue and exceptional service

We choose to have our wedding breakfast at The Ship and we could not have wished for a more perfect venue and experience. Katie was exceptional at being able to think of all the special details that we would have wanted to make the wedding perfect. All the staff made sure our guests were served to the highest standard and we can not thank them enough for everything they did.

they are the best

weddings are stressful... but the team at The Ship were incredible. Attentive and was ahead of the game the whole time. They were prepared and ready for food and drink.

We didn't expect the weather to be nice so didn't discuss an outdoor area, but when we arrived we had a big area for family and friends to chat and enjoy a drink outside in the marque. A great touch.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
