Relaxed pubstyle dining. Nice food but could do with more vegetarian options.
Nice place. They ran out of a few things on the menu but it was a bank holiday. All in all, good meal and service. Maybe a touch overpriced but would go again.
Good selection of real ales, very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Excellent hot roast pork and apple sauce on a toasted ciabatta as a light bite to go with a pint of Nutty Black. The downstairs pub is old-stylie school room themed with old school desks and an open fire, live music events and 'warehouse' bar. Upstairs there is a conservatory restaurant with views of the River Dee and Chester beyond. The main menu looked tempting will be back!Great little watering hole at the end of a Riverside walk :-)
Tried to book on the off chance on a Sunday lunchtime. They were really accommodating and honest, about the availability, and got us in. Service was rapid. Food was solidly good. Sunday lunch was generous and the steak pie was generous.
Plus it's dog friendly.
Clearly a popular weekend lunch spot as there was only 1 table slot available after ours
The girls took me there for my birthday a few days ago and we really had an amazing Sunday roast with celebrations and a view to die for!!! Surrounded by the park and overlooking the river, the vibe was so serene and quite a scenic place to spend my thirtieth birthday at. The hosts were extremely nice and accommodating. The food was great and the portions were extremely generous. Would love to go again one day for the scenery and food both!
A really convenient place for my 92 year old friend to meet her other two friends. The young staff were attentive, polite, courteous and friendly. Thank you very much. Would recommend although the food is a bit on the pricey side for what it is, hence loosing a star.
Really nice place, we are far from local but booked this in advance as we were staying in Chester.
Its dog friendly, has a lovely atmosphere, very knowledgeable staff and most importantly very nice food.
6 of us all ordered different meals and they were all very good, i had a 10oz rump which ended up being way better than I expected, would highly recommend. The Steak and ale pie was stated to be the best pie she had ever had, its a proper pie not one of these casserole dish with a puff top, so to marks on the proper pie.
The only negative thing we could say was the chunky chips were a little undercooked, still abit powdery and missing a slight crunch.
But we could have just got a badly timed batch.
Many thanks and we will certainly return.

Wow, what a disappointment our recent visit was. Haven't been in a year and honestly, it has gone downhill, in my opinion. Yes it could have been an off day for them but from the experience we won't be returning. Food was diabolical. Both of our meals. Standards have gone down. Quality of food and flavours. First time sitting upstairs too and there were a fair few vacant tables. As soon as we had our drinks brought to us, staff needed to arrange our table, moving it to fit a family of six next to us. We had picked to come here not just for the lovely food experiences i had previous but because it was quieter than a lot of places around town being a Saturday afternoon. I would have rather moved away altogether rather than re arranged next to them. We were asked every couple of minutes if we had decided what to order. Each time i explained we needed longer. I eventually said I would let them know once we had decided. We took so long because the menu options were poor. Also, for two starters and two soft drinks coming to £25 and for what it was...ridiculous! The Ship Inn is no longer a recommendation of mine.
I booked The Ship Inn for my parents surprise birthday party and everything went very smoothly, I couldn't fault them. Mike was extremely helpful in the run up to the day and even drew a table plan to make sure I was happy with the layout of the room. We booked 4 tables for 30 people which secured the upstairs room for private use and a great time was had by all. The food was delicious and the service impeccable from start to finish. I would highly recommend to anyone.
Superb! Clean, modern cafe bar/pub. Only stopped for coffee on this occasion but sells real ale and other alcoholic drinks. Food served from 12pm. Looking forward to my next visit to sample the beer.
Great food, Great Beer & Friendly Service 👍🏻
Only a very small criticism, about the Turkey, Stuffing Ciabatta, it would be great to have small pot of “dipping gravy” on the side ??
Been here a few times since it opened. Usually make the trek down Bridge St and just over the river. Cafe bar vibe. Ic had a pint of Weetwood golden. Two Thwaits beers as well. Couple of tv's. Flic had wine. Will be back.
Lovely dog friendly pub. Food was very good and not too expensive. Staff were friendly and attentive to us as diners and our 🐕
