Don't forget to join us tomorrow night for a delicious curry from only £8.95 (or add a pint and make it £12) ✨

Summer’s peeking over the horizon... and if you ask us, there’s no better way to welcome it than with a juicy homemade burger and an ice-cold beer in hand 🍔🍺

Sling on your sunnies, gather your mates (or your dog—we’re 100% pooch-friendly), and swing by The Ship this weekend for the kind of meal that tastes like sunshine in every bite.

Food this good + a frosty pint = weekend goals sorted.

Mum deserves the best—so let’s make it happen. ✨

This Mother’s Day, treat her to a proper Sunday roast, a glass of bubbly, and a day where she doesn’t have to lift a finger (except to raise her glass, of course). 🥂

Because let’s be honest—where would we be without our mums? Probably still looking for our lost socks.

Book your table and give her the Sunday she deserves. Good food, good company, and zero washing up. Sounds like a win to us! 🍽️🥂💐

The perfect Sunday plan? We’ve got you covered.

Start the day with this stunning riverside walk—a 4-mile route through fields, woodlands, and along the Lune, finishing right back where you need to be… at The Ship!

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, we’ll be ready with the Sunday roasts, a proper pint, and a cosy fire to warm those boots and paws. Or, if the sun’s shining, grab a spot in the beer garden and soak it all in.

Walk, eat, drink, repeat. Sounds like a solid Sunday to us 🍻

"The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook." - Julia Child

Luckily, we’ve got zero diet food and 100% hearty, home-cooked goodness waiting for you at The Ship!

So, forget the salad (just this once 😉) and come tuck into something worth every bite. ⚓🍻

☘️ St. Patrick’s Weekend is calling… and so is a pint of Guinness! ☘️

With the sun finally making an appearance, there’s no better way to celebrate than sipping a smooth, creamy pint in our beer garden—soaking up the rays and the rich flavours of Ireland’s finest 🍻🌞.

Been out for a walk? We’re the perfect post-adventure pit stop—100% dog friendly and ready to welcome you (and your four-legged drinking buddy 🐶).

So, what do you say? Cheers to that! 🍀⚓

Nothing says comfort food like a proper homemade pie 🥧🔥

See you at the Ship? ⚓🍺

An Important Update from The Ship Inn ⚓️

We wanted to take a moment to be open and honest with you all, especially after the unexpected closures last weekend, which we know caused some confusion.

The truth is, times are tough right now—for us and for many independent businesses. We’ve had to cut back our trading hours to Thursday – Sunday (12 PM – 11 PM) simply because the footfall isn’t there to keep us open every day. Rising costs and quieter months have made it difficult to stock up and trade as we’d like, and we had to make some last-minute decisions last weekend that, unfortunately, we didn’t get to communicate in time. For that, we’re truly sorry.

This isn’t where we want to be. We’ve poured our hearts, souls (and a fair bit of money) into making The Ship the pub that so many of you love. But without consistent support, it’s getting harder to keep things afloat.

The good news? We’ve got a fresh shipment of beer coming in 🍻, the kitchen is fired up 🔥, and we’re ready to welcome you all this weekend and beyond. If you love this pub and want to see it thrive, now’s the time to show up, enjoy some great food and drinks, and remind yourself why this place is special.

Thank you for your understanding, your support, and your love for The Ship. We truly hope to see you soon.

Much love,
Captain & Crew ⚓️

Great Food, Great Beer, Great Company – What More Do You Need? 🍻

Nothing beats proper home-cooked food washed down with a perfectly poured pint, especially when that pint happens to be one of our very own Ship Inn cask ales. Have you tried one yet? If not, consider this your sign!

Whether you’re warming up after a long countryside stroll with your four-legged best mate 🐶 or just looking for a cosy spot to settle in, we’ve got you covered.

And if you need an excuse to visit…2 Sunday Roasts for £20 should do the trick! 🍽️

Good food, great beer, wagging tails, and roaring fires – see you soon?🍺🐕

The Perfect Weekend? We’ve Got It Covered. 🍃🔥🐶

The weather’s finally picking up, which means it’s time to dust off those walking boots, grab the lead, and head out for an adventure. And what’s an adventure without a proper pit stop?

At The Ship, we’re the perfect place to warm your boots and paws by the fire after a long countryside wander. We’ve got great home-cooked food, a cracking pint, and plenty of belly rubs for your four-legged walking buddy.

Looking for some walk inspiration? Check out these local routes 👉https://www.forestofbowland.com/files/uploads/pdfs/leaflets/CatonwithLittledale.pdf

And don’t forget, Sundays mean 2 roast dinners for just £20. Because no great weekend adventure should end without a proper feast. 🥩🍺

See you soon? 🚶‍♂️🐕🔥

Fancy a curry but can’t face the faff? 🍛

We get it—sometimes you just want a proper curry without the dodgy delivery times or washing up. That’s where we come in. It’s Curry Night at The Ship!

We’ve got a delicious selection of homemade curries (including a tasty vegan option) from just £8.95—served fresh, no stress.

So why not swap the takeaway boxes for a cosy pub table and let us do the cooking? See you tonight! 🍻✨
