The Ship, Bishops Sutton

About The Ship, Bishops Sutton

A country pub near Alresford that's had proper care put into it — smart, homely furnishings and a relaxed feel, with room to spread out and free parking, so arriving with a pram and a hungry toddler isn't a scramble. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, plus outdoor seating for when someone needs to be walked around the garden mid-course. Staff are warm and genuinely welcoming rather than merely polite. The food is the real draw: the Sunday set menu gets singled out for proper roast potatoes, hearty portions and "exceptional gravy by the boatload", and the à la carte lets you mix small plates with mains, which is handy when children want a bit of everything. Warm madeleines with caramel sauce are worth staying for. It's a treat-lunch place at ££, and worth booking a table.
