"Turned up on a quiet Tuesday and was happily welcomed and happy to hear they were serving food. All be it quiet the food came prompt and fresh from the burger to the chicken wings all was well served and presented. The portion sizes were also a welcomed bonus and would recommend to eat here or even just a drink as it is a full functioning pub."
"We had a really nice few hours here with friends recently. We got a table outside great in the sun & lively place to sit and watch all going on around. Staff were very pleasant & efficient. Good is good pub grub nothing to fancy would defo return."
"Great fish and chips!! We are Canadians with roots in England and just loved our visit to "The Ship" while finding our roots last month. It was early nightfall and all the boats and watercraft were all lit up and do serene. The ambience and view from the restaurant one floor up was flawless. Food was good... thoroughly enjoyed a variety of local ciders.. thoroughly recommend."
"This bar and restaurant is located in a great location on the historic Barbican over looking the harbour. The menu and beers offered from this St Austell Brewery owned Bar is excellent and you can enjoy dining drinking or both in the friendly atmosphere from the very helpful and friendly staff. Recently they have made the outside seating area even more attractive with all large bins enclosed that doesn't now spoil the wonderful views and many plant boxes arranged along the seated canopy areas. I've lived on the Barbican for over 30 years and the Ship bar and restaurant is one of the best places to visit for any occasion with friends or family within a great location..."
