"we have always eaten in the ship inn on the way back from south wales because it was a beautiful, typical rustic English pub. the former owner mike and his manager and chef, jane, new her profession and exactly what her customers wanted to eat simple, very tasty English kitchen and comfort. it has been for three years and in this time it has changed the hands. Oh, my God, there is our once good experience finished. it is now called 'boutique ' pub'. it has been re-designed and refurbished, obviously on a limited budget and the menu has changed. we must say that the renovation in our humble opinion is unhappy. it is cheap and sticky and we were shocked that the beautiful old English wooden beams were painted in a fungal emulsion paint and the new seats are a purple crushed velvet type material with a ring on the back? was that to fasten your dog? it looks really cheap and sticky. How bad. there were four of us, one has not eaten, two had the homemade rindburger and I had the filet steak with pfeffergrass sauce. which for a compassion did not match the ambiente of the place with the eating. my steak was perfectly cooked and tasted really delicious. the burgers were made definitiw to house, but the 'consumers' did not like the taste of a crust / ingredients in them. I personally thought it would be very nice, apart from the fact that it was served on a crooked one! what are there with restaurants today? sloping, bowling, wooden blocks? Why can't we just eat from a teller? sadly not prepared the old comfort food dishes like jane (bodied juices, steak and nierenpudding, leber and speck etc. but never less what we ate in this week was pretty good. because the ambiente and the character of the place have been completely ruined, unfortunately we will not return. unnecessary to say there was not another soul at the place from beginning to end. to put the last nail in the sarg for us, they no longer sell hobson's beer!!! sacrilege!"
