About The Ship Inn

A proper old-school pub in Stoke-on-Trent that families keep coming back to — clean, bright and roomy enough for a party of eight without anyone feeling squeezed. Parking is spacious and right out front (there are steps into the front door, worth knowing with a pram), and the kitchen sends food out fast and piping hot, which matters when a toddler has hit the wall. Almost everything is homemade, chips included, and the puddings get the loudest praise — chocolate orange sponge, coffee and walnut cake. Fish and chips and hunter's chicken are safe bets; portions are generous and prices genuinely gentle. Staff are cheerful and welcoming, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating. Sunday lunch is the weak spot — several families have found it a step below the weekday cooking.
