First time visiting since new owners and it was lovely. The interior is stunning and nothing like I expected. Friendly staff and fast service. Good choice of food and a good kids menu with colouring. Big portions and tasty meals. I had a jacket potato with tuna and cheese, my partner had a bacon cheese burger and our daughter had a kids pizza. All delicious and very filling.
Second time we’ve been since the new owners and it’s been fabulous on both occasions. Such a variety on the menu so there is something for everyone and the kids menu is great too. Food is amazing and the portions are huge so you’ll never leave on an empty stomach. The staff are friendly and attentive and really care about their customers. We enjoyed our time here, thank you! X
I could ramble on till the cows come home about The Ship and its wonderful Food, Staff and Atmosphere. So I’ll try to put it in a nutshell. Everything I’ve mentioned was absolutely fantastic, I will definitely be returning very soon and taking family. Thank you to Everyone involved at The Ship Hotel in Bawtry. Sunday Roast was absolutely delicious. 👌
Stopped off on our way home from France. Phoned ahead and no problem parking motor home in car park overnight. Really lovely friendly staff who just took over at beginning of October and I really hope they get to make a go of it. Was busy when we arrived and allowed dogs in back lounge which was nice. My husband had fish and chips and I had steak and Ale pie, about £17 each and we were both full after them, big portions of lovely home cooked food. Enjoyed a few drinks afterwards 😊. Would definately recommend for food and drink and staff again are so nice.
This is our favourite place to eat in Bawtry. It’s not just value for money, the food is delicious with a wide variety of choices to suit most tastes and diets. The service is prompt warm and friendly. Highly recommend the salted caramel and cappuccino roulade and the steak and ale pie. That said there are so many choices it’s difficult to choose! A fantastic, traditional pub (with not a bad gin selection too!), well worth a try!
