We booked the ship for a family meal - there was 25 of us in total and they couldn't do enough for us to make the meal run smoothly- lovely staff great atmosphere and they set the tables up perfectly so people could all see each other!! Highly recommend this place and the food too!!!!
Fantastic service great food came away as full as a bed tick Deffo be back, good value for money friendly staff one thing I would change put a lamb dish on the menu
We called in here with my son and daughter in law and 2 children ( 4 & 10) the children's meals looked big enough for me to eat. I ordered the chicken curry jacket potato and it was beautiful, hubby and son had the burgers and DIL had the chicken burger. Everything was cooked well arrived hot and the chips were lovely. Price was reasonable and the kids got a ice cream which they loved. Service was good and waitress's were on the ball. We will definitely go back if over that way again.
Just been for supper and it was fantastic, massive portion sizes and too much for me but couldn't fault the food. Will definitely go back. Thankyou. X
Me and my family went in for Sunday lunch today (31st July 16) without booking, firstly all staff were very accommodating and very friendly! Service was excellent and food was top quality - will def be going back
Cracking meal i had with kids and wife .. thank you all .. run a tight ship lol .. great staff with great food .. who can argue with that .. keep up the good work x

Had an excellent lunch at the Ship today. Even though I had the smaller portion I struggled to eat it all, but I managed. What great value for money and quality food.
Had a lovely meal at the Ship at Dovenby , can't complain good service good food that's all u need �
We had a wonderful Christmas lunch at the ship. The staff are almost as fabulous as the food. ��
Went tonight for a Birthday meal. 11 people, seated right away. Staff friendly and brought drinks right away. Food excellent, and served hot, everything arrived at the same time despite the 11 people. Excellent value for money
One of the best pies we’ve ever had, good value and huge portions. Friendly staff. Would recommend!

The Dovenby Ship has redeemed itself in my eyes…
We haven’t visited for a few years as last time we arrived bang on our table booking time and was told we were double booked and had to wait for an hour at the bar for another table, this put us off coming back but we thought we’d give it a go being a Tuesday night and hoping it would be quieter.
The place was almost empty when we arrived, with only a few other tables being occupied.
Our drinks came really quickly and the server was very friendly.
The menus were all a little dirty and could do with a wipe down… that said, the menu is full of fantastic “pub grub” with a few “fancier” options too, something for everyone!
I opted for the 16oz rump steak without any sauce, the steak was absolutely cooked to perfection, it was succulent and tender and I couldn’t have asked for any more! The coleslaw was a little warm so this would’ve been nice either in a side dish or on top of the salad garnish, the mushrooms were also overcooked (or had been sat for a while) as they were very much stale unfortunately.
I then went for the banoffee pie for pudding and wow, absolutely delicious - it was a toss up between that and the white chocolate cheesecake for me!
All in all, a very nice family meal out and I’d definitely return again - I’m glad we gave it a second chance!
Excelent food, lovely place and atmosphere xx
Friendly staff, good range of food and drink. Ample parking
It's time for a quick update to my review......
Booked a table for a Saturday evening for a meal with friends. Was very busy!
Had fillet steak, I must say this was one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. Cooked to perfection (med/rare).
I must say that the food represents great value for money. There is a wide choice on the new menu.
My advice is to get there early as it can get VERY busy.
Still - Very highly recommend for a good feed!
Struggling to find anything on a Tuesday we came across this pub serving food. It wasn't very busy with ample parking. Looked at the menu on the Facebook page and the prices looked ok, transpires the actual menu is a little more expensive, so keep that in mind if your looking at Facebook. The special was nice, huge portions, the Cumberland sausage was nice, but I have had nicer but nothing wrong with it. Service was lovely, glass of wine was very expensive at nearly £7 for a small glass, would go again if in that area.
Another beautiful steak , cooked by proprietor, Julian. My Mum and Dad enjoyed their meal, too. Although very busy, the staff were as efficient and friendly as ever. Strongly recommended. 😊
Gorgeous food, happy polite staff

Our first visit after my partner wanting to visit for a while. Very easy to locate and in a beautiful area with some great views.
Absolutely stunning building with great atmosphere. The staff were absolutely brilliant and catered well for our fussy child. Nothing was a problem and they were all really friendly.
The food was absolutely amazing and we didn't have to wait long before we were eating. Everything on our plates tasted amazing! Home made chips were an added bonus too.
We had desert which again was fantastic. And to top it off the bill was less that we thought also great value for money in a great location.
We will definitely be returning.
The food was delicious, hot and very good portions would definitely return here and recommend to others, the tables and chairs could do with a bit of updating but this doesn't take away from the food and service
