Probably the oldest building in Farnborough, being some 400-years old and reputably the venue of first recognised world heavyweight boxing contest, as well as being a regular stop over for Dick Turpin. Originally consisting of three separate bars, the pub has now been knocked into one, whilst still retaining different character in each area. The ship was reopened in October 2015 after an extensive refurbishment and is a popular community local, with friendly staff and good food in a convivial atmosphere. Real ale only occasionally available; pool and darts are on offer, with live sport on different screens. There is a large car park, a regular bus service stops outside and the pub is about 10 minutes walk from Frimley Station. The pub was confirmed as an Asset of Community Value in June 2016.
Historic Interest
The Ship Inn is about 400 years old. It was originally called The Royal Anne and was renamed The Royal George after the launch of a larger ship. It received its present name from its present owners much later. Mrs Norbran, who has worked there for 16 years, was able to tell us that one room was often used by Dick Turpin. A fight was to take place in 1860 between Tom Sayers and Hoonan. The ring was pitched in a field at the brook behind the inn by Princess Eugenie who lived at the nearby abbey So popular was the fight that the hayfield in which it took place was completely ruined. The fight took place on April 17th 1860 and was a draw. (Source: BBC Website Doomsday Reloaded)
