Large whitewashed hotel on the front at Parkgate, refurbished and reopened in April 2022 with a strong emphasis on food. Dramatic views over the River Dee marshes towards the Welsh hills. Cask ales are sold in the lounge which features historic photos of old Parkgate. A roaring fire can often be found in winter. The hotel enthusiastically promotes local micro-breweries such as Brimstage and Spitting Feathers.

Historic Interest

Built in 1859 incorporating the old Ship Inn, the house in front of it and the Bulls Head in Drury Lane. The new pub was then known as the Union Hotel (a Yates's Castle Brewery pub) until the name reverted the the Ship in the 1960s.
