The Ship Inn was built c. 1750 and was part of the Brimscombe Port complex. A central porch has been added and window frames have been replaced with UPVC double glazing, but the Ship Inn still has a traditional-looking exterior proudly showing off its imposing Cotswold stone bones. It sits in a hollow just off the Main A419 as you leave Stroud towards Cirencester and is adjacent to the Thames & Severn Canal and opposite Brimscombe Port.

It is believed that the name derives from the Trows that carried goods from Stroud to ports on the River Severn - the pub sign portrays such a vessel. Inside is spacious, tasteful and open plan, though three distinct areas are set out. The bar is to the right with an open fire, a snug may be found to the left with a wood-burning stove and a restaurant/dining area to the left beyond the snug.

Opening and food times correct as of 27 November 2025
