The Ship Inn in New Forest

Had a lovely lunch here today. Very impressed.They have a decent wine menu & a good selection of beers, ciders & other drinks.For starter we had the bread & olives to share. I then had the Prawn, Crab & Chorizo Linguine & my friend had the Sea Bass, both of which were nicely presented ted & cooked well. Very nice.For dessert I had the Biscoff Bomb & my friend had the Cheesecake Trio…both seriously yummy.Excellent, friendly service in a modern but classic atmosphere. All in all very enjoyable.

We visited for lunch without planning or booking, as it looked to be a good informal pub by the boats at the quayside beyond the cobbled area. Despite being busy with a steady flow of customers, we were seated and served quickly. Friendly staff, good beer, decent menu. All very efficient and pleasant, inside and outside tables.

For our first night stay in Lymington we were recommended this pub. It is situated right on the Quay side with views accross the water. Unfortunately when we went the outdoor section was shut. Both of us have food intolerances. Choices were limited but they have a good way of checking by way of an Ipad app referencing thier menu. Reasonably priced at around £25 a head including drinks.

What a find!We had given up on Lymington after walking up and down the High Street, looking for some dinner.Luckily, we wandered down to the quay and found this beautiful place.Amazing food, everything was tasty. Service was excellent and the price surprised me for being so low!Definitely recommend

Food was absolutely delicious and the pub is in a lovely location. My only criticism would come from how tightly packed the pub was - the tables were so close together. This may be because the pub is trying to seat more customers since covid. The staff were mostly polite although seemed a bit rushed when we visited - it was particularly busy.Overall lovely food and we will come back

Nice place to eat, food was ok and was like warm when served. Everyone serving was polite and attentive, couldn't ask for more service wise.Olive and bread starter was 6 fingers of toasted bread and 6 olives in a tiny bowl. Definitely wouldn't recommend that.Overall a nice place but not great value and food could have been hotter.

Flawless. On arrival my partner had a big sugar drop, Trevor, (general manager) was on it straight away, getting her a drink to help bring her back up again. Once composed we ordered food. A starter to share of camembert and artisan bread, very nice. I then had a posh fish finger sandwich and fries, doing the sandwich a bit of a dishonor calling them fish fingers, they were so much better than that. My partner had a fillet steak sandwich and she couldn't fault it, meat was cooked perfectly. We also had a side of haloumi fries which were also spot on. Had a chocolate orange bomb for a sweet. Shared between the two of us and couldn't of had one each as very rich but all the same very tasty. Trevor was very attentive even when he seemed very busy. For all the above well deserved 5 star and will be returning.

A fantastic end to a great weekend in the New Forest. We stopped by on our way home to the Isle of Wight hoping for a quick late lunch with our children and dog and couldn’t have felt more welcome. Even though it was busy we were incredibly well looked after and all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch (the first time our children had cleared their plates since we’d been away!) not to mention the fantastic cocktails and dessert. Highly recommend to all for a great atmosphere, attentive and friendly service and delicious food.

Smart, tastefully dining room. A welcome stop at the end of a long walk. Friendly welcome, attentive but not intrusive waiter (james). The wine menu is extensive. Partner had the burger and I had the prawn linguine, both delicious. Highly recommended.

Fantastic - our favourite pub in Lymington! As always the service and food were great, 6 of us had dinner last night to celebrate my brothers birthday. Karen our waitress was friendly and helpful with cocktail and menu choices and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend a visit if you are visiting beautiful Lymington.
