Nestled in the picturesque village of Elswick, The Ship is a local’s haven. Our traditional pub offers old world charm fused with a modern finish throughout the cosy interiors and garden, perfect to enjoy with the whole family. From sipping a refreshing cocktail under our stretch tent in the garden, to having a meal in our intimate dining room next to the fire, you’ll feel at home and catered for any time of year.
