A short walk from the station and town centre this pub has maintained its excellent choice of beers, beautiful decor and always friendly and efficient staff. One of the last proper pubs still in Chelmsford.
My favourite pub in Chelmsford. Always a great atmosphere, great draught beers and excellent food. Staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I absolutely love this gem in Chelmsford City Centre!
This pub has a lot of character well run. Can visit with anyone and any day of the week. Can be cosy and can be busy with good atmosphere. I'd recommend the food great selection of pub meals. Great location less than a two min walk from the train station.
Love the Ship - great traditional pub, super food, and lo wly ambience - is now by far my best local pub in Chelmsford.
The room was dated but clean and comfortable for one night. Noise from the road though if you are a light sleeper. Staff really helpful. You have to park in car park a couple of minutes walk away. We left before breakfast as did not start until 10 on Sundays.
Great pub, terrific atmosphere and great beer. Recommended.
The Maldon Gold was excellent, Tribute wasn't so fresh, maybe they don't sell so much of it. Nice space, friendly and helpful staff. Bit pricey, but it is just by the train station so to be expected. I'm sure I'll be back soon.
Great little pub
Drinks well priced
Nice atmosphere and music
Great lovely pub, good atmosphere and great ales. I love my ales and it’s such a delight to make regular trips to a place and find the same clean crisp quality ale every time. You know they look after them very well by the appearance and taste. Not yet tried the food but it’s next on the list. :)

This pub sits outside the centre of the city, along Broomfield Rd but always gets a good trade (well always seems to have people in there when I go or past it!)
Inside its a bit old school, random tables dotted about with chairs / stools and a bit dark (sometimes it feels much later than it is - although that could also be the drinks being consumed that does that!) Have been a few times over the years and occasionally it's a bit of squeeze in some areas of the pub if there is more than 5 or 6 of you due to the way its laid out. Less of an issue with your just drinking...!
Food has always been good although on occasions it takes a while for the food to come out, and they tend to bring the food as its done so on occasions when in a group some people are just starting as others are just finishing!
Drinks selection is good, they always seem to have something that is a little less mainstream on the pump which is nice to see. There is a few pay and display car parks near by, including a small one behind the pub.
Lovely atmosphere, good food and pleasant service
Good range of beer, plenty of tables and areas to sit. Friendly staff.
I booked this morning (sunday) on the website... I then received a call (thinking the worst that they were fully booked) but they wanted to ask if we wished to pre book a roast as they get busy and didn't want to disappiont us. I found this extremely considerate. And wow am I glad they did... I had lamb rack and my partner beef! It was one of the nicest roasts I have had that wasn't my mums! We will be back.
Great pub. Lively, great staff, great collection of brilliant local and regulars. Sits just off Duke St and has to be on the route for any pub crawl. Two nice long rows of outside tables at the front of the pub to watch the world (well, Chelmsford) go by. Hotel above the bar for those looking to stay intown longer. Round the corner from bus station and takeaways but opposite 96 Lanterns for swift Chinese after a good session in The Ship. An absolute must.
Used to frequent the Ship regularly when I was working at Britvic House, now sadly gone. Had a reunion last Saturday with some of the people I used to work with many years ago. Still like it was back in my day and glad its not changed too much. Didn't eat here this time but food was always good when I last did. Nice that it's still there and still going strong 😚
Good local pub. Good okay and staff service good. More your local town pub so can be busy .
