This Pub is Closed Long Term

Sadly, the Ship Inn remains closed because of Peter's continuing ill-health. Sheila is keeping the Facebook page up-to-date.

This 2012 CAMRA North East Regional Pub of the Year is as good as ever. Now in its 20th year of family ownership, complete satisfaction is guaranteed at this nautically themed spotlessly clean rural gem. The landlord serves seven beers, most locally sourced with a bias towards blonde beers, together with real cider. Bass is also available as a keg offering. His wife runs the superb restaurant offering top-quality food at reasonable prices, including mid-week early-doors two-course specials. There are stupendous coastal views from the well-kept gardens. Six motel-style chalets provide good-value accommodation. Closes during owners' annual holidays, so please check before making a long journey. Also please check winter opening hours. Bus 206 from Blackhall, Peterlee and Wingate.
