A delightful blend of creamy ice cream topped with rich chocolate sauce, crunchy nuts, and a cherry on top. Perfect indulgence!

"I highly recommend this friendly and casual bistro located near Waterloo Place. I enjoyed a delicious meal, starting with the North Berwick lobster and ending with the amazing Girotine Fondant. My wife opted for the lamb, which she also enjoyed, followed by their homemade ice cream sundae. After dinner, we relaxed in the hotel lounge with a drink in comfortable chairs. Overall, a great experience that I would recommend to others."

"Had a pre show meal and was pleasantly surprised. Very pretty restaurant with lovely views. Nice Christmas atmosphere, a singer in main restaurant. The staff attentive to our needs. The food was great, beautifuly presented, portions were large. Good value for money and only a few minutes from Cliffs pavilion."

"We we’re the only table using the restaurant , there wasn’t any ambience , light background music would have been appreciated . The chips onion rings were very lack lustre. The fish dish was however cooked nicely . We had dessert which was extremely expensive for the very small portion of cheesecake on offer ! All in all disappointing after the good reviews we had read online . Wouldn’t book again for a special meal , very average !"

"After a lovely visit on a previous family holiday, we decided to book again on our recent holiday…this could not have been more contrasting. The evening started with ants crawling across the table, napkins and cutlery…and didn’t get much better. Under cooked fish, a suspicious smelling burger, incorrect burger order brought out (twice) and a curry that looked like it had been standing whilst our other dishes were being prepped. Clearly not a good day at the office. What was more disappointing was the lack of concern for what a pretty poor experience Not good, not happy."

"Staff very welcoming, and child friendly too. On arrival My daughter emptied a puddle from her puddle suit onto the floor, I was so mortified but the staff were really understanding! There were plenty of well labelled vegan options on the menu. I had a hot chocolate and a soup. The bread roll was warm too and delicious. Staff were very knowledgable about vegan options and provided me vegan chocolate on the side of my hot choc and also informed me (without prompting) the spread with the bread roll was vegan too. Would definitely come back. My daughter hd a milkshake and kids meal, the bill came to £18 something. I would love to go back and have the sticky toffee pudding or brownie, I just didn’t have room!"

"I contacted the pub direct to resolve first but the response was simply not good enough hence onto the review. Can 't just take responsibility and say sorry we messed up there, apparently all very popular restaurants (their words) leave you sitting for half an hour refusing to take your order because there were bookings who came in AFTER we did. Staff telling us different things. It was not busy and we 'd been ready to order for over 25mins before we left, staff were aware of this as we 'd asked to order twice already and were told no there 's other people Infront of you...which turned out to be the booked tables, so paying customer or not it doesn 't matter, you 're valued less if you haven 't booked despite handing over the cash all the same. Total joke making folk sit and wait when your booked tables aren 't even ready to order yet anyway, and repeatedly saying they 'll just be 2mins for it to turn into 30mins, who knows how long it would have been because we left at that point over the poor customer service. Very disappointing that after messaging to resolve instead of doing a review, it was not taken seriously and glossed over and sorry for your wait. Take some responsibility and make sure staff all know the script so you 're not being told different things."

"Worst dining experience ever Where do I begin... there were so many issues!! My sister travelled down as I wanted to take her out for her birthday and saw there was a good overall rating so chose this place. Biggest mistake ever!!! We arrived, there was no acknowledgement, just stared at by the barman and people at the bar; had to say we had arrived for a meal and I had just called about it. Were taken upstairs, although they could see we had a baby had to ask for a high chair. Chair arrived wet and still dirty but this happens at other places so I cleaned it again. Then he came to take our drinks order and there was no drinks menu and he didn 't know what all of them were and couldn 't describe them properly. The 'fizzy ' drinks were flat and one of them was tasteless. Asked for straws. None available. Ordered our food. The barman runs upstairs after a few minutes to say the chef has burnt 2 lots of the pork so only one left. The other starters didnt appeal so he said he 'd give a garlic bread for free. After waiting ages, it all finally arrives. There was only one other table at this point and it was before 6p.m. The pork belly bites are still a bit burnt but covered up with bbq sauce, the tomato soup is raw and bland, and the garlic bread is passable. My 18 month old is starving by now so eats most of the garlic bread. I had already asked for them to bring her food out first and they didn’t. Mains arrive after another long wait. Fish fingers are hand made ones but completely burnt and the fish is completely dry inside them, hunters chicken bland, pasta passable, sizzling chicken is soggy chicken with raw garlic and a ridiculous amount of chilli in it... and I eat alot of spicy food. By now were all so hungry so we ate it but I sent my babys food back as it was not edible. The chef agrees its burnt and blames the breadcrumbs and ask if they can make it with batter instead and I say thats fine. After we finish were left for another 35 minutes waiting ignored by other waiting staff so I go downstairs to see where our waiter is. No sign of him, I then ask for the dessert thats part of the childrens meal we were told about earlier and everyone denies it comes with one and they dont know what I 'm talking about! My sister really wanted to treat herself to a dessert but with their behaviour we decided we just wanted the bill and to leave. Only one person apologised who was the other waiter who agreed we had not had good service. I give feedback as per above regarding our experience and they call the owner over. I tell him how disappointed I am about the evening as per everything I 've detailed above, I ask why we were given the wrong information about the childrens meals. He gives a watery excuse about 'transitioning staff '. I tell him then the responsibility is with him to train them. He denies the food was bad and says they 've never had a bad review like this. I then find out on reading details of other reviews later that he 's just plain lying). I tell him that instead of being defensive he should apologise and he says 'I 'm sorry if you feel disappointed but we know how good we are and pride ourselves on this '. At which point, I let him know that he was unprofessional and that was not an apology by any means! I also told him, the only professional person was the waiter who wasn 't taking care of us that actually apologised as he realised we had been treated badly. I also reminded him that the chef admitted had burnt the food. I then tell him I don 't want to hear any excuses, I just want to pay my bill and leave this nightmare of a place. I think they thought I wouldn 't be able to pay it??? And was angling for free food??? Ridiculous. That was the point when he apologised properly. They took the drinks off the bill and 2 pounds off the 'childrens meal deal '. My advice since you dont know what you might get on the day in terms of professionalism, food quality and hygiene... AVOID THIS PLACE!!!"

"We pre-booked for 19:30 weeks in advance using the app, on the night we arrived on time and was greeted by the front of house and told to wait while they get our table ready, we we surprised at it was not busy and there was lots of tables ready. We waited 25 minutes, before we had to flag down a waitress, they had forgotten about us!! Unbelievable as we where the only couple in the reception area. We we showed to our table and left again without even a attempt for a drinks order. Finally when they came around after another 15 minutes we ordered wine and a starter. When it came to mains I ordered the fillet steak, when it arrived it was over cooked, so I send it back, what a mistake, the head chef was throwing pots and pans around, we waited and waited when a replacement steak arrived it was cold as it was sitting on the side so long before it was served. I refused to pay for the poor quality of food and the absolutely diabolical service. This place is under staffed and not worth going. As we walked out we realised that the reason for the poor service was that all the staff was to busy with the room service orders. Do go, worst experience ever, truly!!!"

"The Ship Inn did not seem to be aware of our OpenTable booking, which led to confusion upon our arrival. This seems to be a common issue with the restaurant according to other reviewers. We were eventually seated in the overflow dining area, where we were the only guests for almost 20 minutes. The ambiance was lacking and it felt like we could have just stayed home. However, once we were served, the food and service were quite good. I would recommend avoiding using OpenTable and instead booking directly with the restaurant to ensure a better dining experience in the main dining area or bar."

"We stayed at this restaurant for two nights and decided to dine here the first night due to our exhaustion from traveling. The staff were friendly and checked in on us regularly. My husband ordered steak, which was cooked perfectly to his preference without any issues. However, I did find the presentation of his dish lacking, as it was served with chips on the side in a traditional manner. I opted for the chicken roulade, which was nicely presented. My main complaint was the overpriced bottle of Marlborough wine, which wasn't chilled enough. I had to request an ice bucket instead of the narrow cooler provided, but the general manager graciously accommodated my request. The waitress mentioned that they don't sell much of this wine, so it may have been in the fridge for some time. Despite being told it was at 7 degrees, I personally found it not cold enough. We chose not to have breakfast at the restaurant and instead went for a walk to find a cafe in Lingfield."

"The waitress couldn’t find our booking when we arrived, so huffily directed us to a spare table, where we then sat for around 25 minutes waiting for our order to be taken. In the meantime, we could hear several tables around us complaining about the non existent level of service. Perhaps in hindsight we should have left then as indeed another couple did! After placing our orders, it took another 30 mins for our food to arrive, and what a disappointment... overcooked burgers in soggy buns, accompanied by undercooked oven chips covered in plastic cheese. For a restaurant which claims to specialise in great burgers and American style food, it was anything but. About the only palatable item on our table was the bottle of merlot, unfortunately even this was not worth the 18.50 price tag. In summary, terrible food and indifferent service, crowned by overinflated prices. We escaped as soon as possible, vowing never to return."

"Went once for dinner and once for lunch and will be back again (and again : The staff is really lovely, the food is fresh and delicious with loads of choice including for vegetarian and the prices more than reasonable. Today we had a 3 course lunch for under £14! I had the breaded fish and it was the freshest I've ever had! Eating in the cutest walled beer garden which is so obviously tended with love. Beautiful flowers and adorable veg plot. Just like with the menu, hard to make a choice of where to seat with all the different wee set ups just as inviting..."

"Absolutely shocking. We entered the pub after a long journey with full family 3 young children) and our dog. The staff a lady) didn’t look happy we had entered her establishment , but invited us to sit in the dog friendly food area and get settled. When we went to order drinks and ask for a menu, we was then told they could not serve us food due to a large order. I run a large business in the area and I would be not happy turning away people. We then headed to Hope and Anchor who couldn’t have been more welcoming not just with the children but with the dog too, food bowls and water provided on arrival. I won’t be returning to this place and will certainly be letting my circle of friends and family know"

"Love this place and the fish selection available on the menu. We arrived on a Saturday and used the online booking system but I don’t recall it giving us the option to tell them we were bringing 3 dogs with us. We arrived early and popped in to say we had 3 dogs and the lovely guy who was leaving the next day arranged a nice table for us in the main bar. Some people arrived after us for lunch and headed for the dining area with dogs but needed to be redirected as clearly didn’t know dogs are not allowed in the dining room. We prefer the main bar as is nice and spacious and great if you are bringing dogs. Oysters were amazing as always and the lobster was great although I would prefer the salad that accompanied it to be in a separate dish rather than on the wooden board. Can’t wait to come back here it’s amazing and if I lived locally I would be there every week. Thanks for a great lunch."

"Popped in for early evening food. It was very busy and had a lovely atmosphere. I ordered duo Korean chicken which was delicious, however it was served minus the kimchi and pickled cucumber ribbons. When eventually I managed to catch someone to ask where they were I was told there hadn't been a delivery. I know this happens but should be told on ordering. Very disappointing. My husband had wild boar sausage and mash. Again beautiful but only 2 sausages and a little mash for £14.99 and extra cost if you wanted to add veg!!!. Totally overpriced ."

"We were warmly welcomed with the track and trace procedure quickly completed, and then we were escorted to our seats where we observed them being thoroughly cleaned before we sat down. Taking advantage of the eat out to help out scheme, we ordered a black and blue burger, scampi and chips, a fully loaded mint chocolate chip waffle, a chocolate milkshake, large cappuccino, and a coke. The total came to a reasonable £16 for everything, and the food exceeded our expectations. The presentation was excellent and all the dishes were delicious. The black and blue burger had just the right amount of blue cheese and was served with fries and homemade coleslaw. The scampi was well-cooked with chunky chips and coleslaw, perfectly seasoned and flavorful. Our child thoroughly enjoyed her waffle and milkshake, which were indeed fully loaded. The staff did a great job of operating swiftly while adhering to social distancing rules. The only minor critique would be the need for someone to monitor the entrance as some customers kept entering to use the facilities, inadvertently breaching the distancing guidelines by brushing past others. It is unclear how this issue can be resolved."

"Staff were lovely very friendly and helpful. But no idea what happened to the food! 2 mixed grills ordered. One medium , one medium rare. Both were medium rare and tough, sausages missing off one, chicken missing off the other, tomato missing off one, a member of staff did rush out with 2 sausages just prior to me going to ask where they were. Both people in our party said their grill wasn’t hot. 2 festive salmon dishes were lovely but again food wasn’t hot. 2 children’s deserts were meant to be topped with strawberry, not a strawberry in site, try telling a 4 year old and a 2 year old where Santas hat had gone. The pre ordered deserts we had to ask for as they seemed to have forgotten. A after eight sundae arrived with loads of after eights in but whole! Very difficult to negotiate around the sundae glass. I’ve had this at another brewers fayre and they were cut into pieces). Whoever made this needs lessons in presentation. But thanks for the 9 in total after eight mints. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Bacon Cheese Burger, Fish, Triple Chocolate Brownie, Ice Cream Sundae With, Mixed Grill"

"have visited many paintings before the rule for sunday roasts. this time a Saturday evening birthday meal for a largish party of 7. which immediately beats them are the huge screens between tables. we felt like we had offered a dress to change before the doctor arrived! also makes it serving food quite tricky with tellers have to hand over the table down and again as no room for waiting staff around the opposite. all the workers in masks who have found something we put down. Others can of course be attracted by these measures, which is why they are still present. eating was good (not cheap) and quite well cooked. delicious maissole, great fries and other dishes such as the squid and the ribs were all enjoyed. the personal is friendly and efficient. compliments to the cook and the staff, but we will not come back until the sterile atmosphere is lifted."

"Absolutely wonderful! From the service as soon as you walk in, to the staff, the food, it was just fantastic! Very helpful and efficient greeter who showed us to our table and noted the vegan note on the booking. He was able to advise what to order on the nut roast and what to swap out. All of the staff were highly attentive. The roast (I had the nut roast and my partner had the beef) was the best roast I’ve ever had! The quality of everything on the plate was incredible. Such a decent price as well for the quality you get. Thank you for such a lovely meal we cannot wait to come back when you start doing roasts again!"
