A local pub popular with diners and drinkers alike, with the current landlords taking over in late March 2022. There is a large garden to the rear which includes a secure children's play area. Live sport is shown in the main bar.

Historic Interest

The Ship Inn is the second oldest building in the area, with the church opposite being older, and is said to date from the early 16th century. The Ship was originally a private house on an estate called 'Stringers' and it was owned in 1639 by Lord Darcy. In 1709 the property and orchard behind was sold to Thomas Joy for £45. There were already two other alehouses in the village - The Queen's Head (which had opened in 1679) and the King’s Head (which is now a restaurant on the opposite corner). In 1788 John Cobbold provided the beer and 12 years later bought the premises for £700.
