We had a sunday Lunch here. Very nice pub. The outside area at the back is very well set up. The staff were very good and friendly.
Don't get discouraged by the grayish exterior. Ship Inn is a spacious place with great food and vibes like it was run by a group of friends!
Place is dog friendly and has a billiard table, large screens and huge space at the back for crowds wanting to watch football.
We've ordered fish&chips, chicken kebab and some nachos and we would love to order more - sadly we've run out of space :}
Come one, come all! Melrose's The Ship Inn is the place to go =^.^=
Very charming pub in the heart of Melrose right next to the city square. It's menu boasts with a lot of unusual food which you won't find in most city pubs like the magnificant Gammon Steak 😍 good choice of beers and ciders, very eager and nice waiters and that with modest prices!
Visited today with my mum and daughter for lunch. Staff were super friendly, and made us feel really welcome. Our server was great with my daughter too. My daughter's food arrived first which I really appreciated as it gave me time to cut it up and cool it down before my food arrived. Couldn't fault it at all.
First visit to the Ship Inn today and definitely won't be the last. Great fresh food, very welcoming, friendly staff. Ideal for sports on telly too! And lively outdoor area to the rear.
My wife and I and a few friends were staying at Gibson Park caravan site, Melrose, and decided to try The Ship Inn for a meal. We called at 6pm to book a table for 10 people and we were told that our table would be reserved for 7pm onwards.
Great Food...
Great Service...
Great Atmosphere...
We all had a great night.
We will definitely go back
And definitely recommend.
👍👍👍
Good menu and staff lovely. Very dog friendly and treats for them too. Prices for drink very reasonable. Couldn't fault it. Tried the OAP menu second time around. Still couldn't finish it all. Good value for money. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.
I can whole hearty say this is one of the best places I've been for food, quality service and brilliant atmosphere.
This dog friendly pub could not do enough to cater to me and my dogs. We had a meeting of dog trainers locally and they we're absolutely fine with more than one dog joining our table and even took the time to ask about the dogs.
The staff are lovely, they take the time to make sure your ok and the food is good. Even at busy times they let us know ETA on food and always with a genuine smile.
The food was fantastic, great portion sizes and large menu to choose from for pub classics and some modern twists.
I'll 100% be back again next year.
We had a nice surprise here. The beer was brilliant - Greene King Ice Breaker. We stopped in for a quick beer after a rainy walk and liked the beer and music so went back later for more beer and food. Good choice from the menu and huge portions. Food was really good and staff incredibly friendly. Only hiccup was a couple of oblivious owners who came with a barking dog and sat at the bar near to our reserved table - its a dog-friendly pub with large covered beer garden.
Found the Ship on a weekend away in Melrose and now go every few months. Always made to feel so welcome by staff and regulars alike. Great atmosphere, superb food and friendly staff and locals. What else could you want
We popped in for lunch. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent, hot and fresh. A good range of drinks at reasonable prices. Our dog liked it here too, thanks
This was our first visit to Melrose and first time in the Ship Inn, we will definitely be back. The food and the choice was excellent and also at a very reasonable price. The staff were very attentive and polite. I can definitely recommend this place.
We went to the ship inn for my son's birthday. On arrival the staff informed us that they didn't have our booking which was disappointing. The staff apologised and came up with the solution of us eating outside in the covered outside seating. I pointed out that it wasn't the warmest day to sit out, so the barstaff immediately found blankets for the colder members of our party and sat us near a heater. They came later to offer us inside seats but we declined as we were quite comfortable. The food was good wholesome home made dishes, the portion sizes were large. Everyone in our party were very happy with the service supplied at the ship inn. I'd like to add that the staff were excellent, polite, professional and a credit to the establishment. Well done to them all
Popped into the Ship for a late lunch, cosy warm pub friendly and helpful staff. Good bar food food arrived quickly and was well presented hot and delicious......we will be back...✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Clean and nicely decorated pub with beer garden. Stayed again in Melrose and had a few drinks again during the week, this time we also had something to eat, which was lovley and our plates were full, fantastic 😀 Definitely worth a visit and we will go back again.
We called for Sunday lunch yesterday and received a warm welcome.
Ordered two roast beef dinners which were very tasty indeed, although I could have polished off a little more (I do have a large appetite) we were informed upon ordering that the potato man hadn't delivered so there was no mash.
Good pint of Amstel served by wonderful friendly people.
The proprietor went out of his way to look after us and our dog.
Prices are very reasonable and we have to say that this establishment was by far the best in Melrose in every respect (we tried them all). So much so that we returned again the day after for lunch and had the chicken curry and a wrap.
Amazing garden to the rear.
Highly recommended.
Come here every time I visit Melrose and will continue to come - the service here is excellent!! Food is always freshly made to order, very tasty 😋 and at very reasonable prices too. Very cosy pub and cannot thank the staff, manager and proprietor enough.
Popped in for the first time today for some lunch and really enjoyed the occasion.
Staff were really friendly and welcoming.
We got the soup of the day ( mushroom) and haggis bites they were both really tasty and quickly served to us . Nice pint of Tennents lager to wash it down.
Will definitely be back and would recommend it if your in Melrose.
They do OAP portions as well as kids portions,so really well suited for everyone.
