The Old Ship welcomes us with free parking, nice view of the busy port with plenty of passing white boats. We enjoyed the view with perfectly chilled Peroni beer in that hit day. After emptying the glass we get hungry so decided to order some freshly made food. My son order freshly made home lasagna, my wife choose the Whitebait which was very tasty and made from fresh fish, I ended with classic Fish and chips which was delicious. The atmosphere in The Old Ship was calm and relaxed. I recommend this pub to everyone who seeks nice views and chilled drinks.
Good pub with nice selection of food. Can get busy though. Lovely outside space at the front to enjoy the views.
Stopped by for lunch while on a long walk from Maldon. Had the fish and chips which was ok, The fish was good but chips and peas not great. The beer selection was fairly standard.
Came here after a long walk, fancied something to eat with a friend, we had Tuna mayo baguette and cheesy chips, I hadn't read it already came with chips 🤦♀️ but it tasted so good, we scoffed the lot!! We both had gin & Lemonade which had to be in pint glasses as the gin glasses keep going 'missing' leave them there people!! Great service and the weather was surprisingly warm so got to eat outside which is always lovely 😍 didn't take photos of food which was presentable, but look at the views from their tables
They should rename it to "the old dog." I'm sure the regulars don't mind, but if you're new to the area and if you don't enjoy eating your food with other people's smelly dogs right next to you, don't go there. Otherwise, good food and great staff.
lovely place staff were really help ful tried to put in Place a ramp so my sister could have access to the Inside.1food is very good Valve and large portions. Lovely setting.
Lovely pub in a picturesque setting… we only popped in for a pint after a long walk, sat outside with the dog, staff seemed friendly and polite, can’t complain 👍👌
Nice picturesque place to go for a relaxing views over Heybridge Basin. Definitely worth a visit. The scampi and chips looked amazing. We didn't eat, but all the food being served looked really tasty. We will be going back for a meal soon.
Called in for a drink. Lovely old pub with great outdoor seating next to the sea lock and good indoor seating overlooking the estuary.

Found this place on Google Maps and used Google Navigation to get there on our Motorcycles, found it no problem, but to all bikers take a stand pad as the carpark surface is gravel.
Went in and was greeted with a friendly welcome and asked what we'd like, had Half a Maldon Gold, Diet Coke and 2 bags of Walkers finest. Prices were what you'd expect for a pub on a tourist spot and they know how to look after the Beer.
Found a table in the corner by the window overlooking the Basin and kicked back n let the world pass by. While sat there food was served at another table and looked reallly good for Burgers n chips etc(Mums with kids so nothing fancy) and the prices a reasonable too.
The view is just lovely and is on a Coastal path so loads of people passing by and can be a little busy and it's good for Families too as theres a lot to do around the Pub.
Really enjoyable place to visit, value at the bar and value from the kitchen, good location, clean and tidy, just could do with updating the Decore and the Pub Dog is lovely and likes a fuss.
I'll be going back on a sunny day when the tide is high and have a beer and a bite, see you all there soon.
Nice pub didnt wait long for food even though they were busy nice polite waitress (payrise needed) will visit again
Lovely, welcoming and family friendly old pub. Friendly staff and really nice simple pub grub style food which is very reasonably priced. Definitely will be back
Fabulous service and very friendly. Went that extra mile to get us tap water and allow us to use the toilet, after the jolly sailor refused us, despite purchasing drinks. We popped back and bought a bottle of water and will definitely give The Old Ship our full custom next time.
Great food, friendly staff, been several times by myself and enjoyed it . My wife didn't like it, and wanted to leave said it smelt funny 🤔 could be why we aren't together anymore as her taste clearly is bad 😂
