📢 A Message from The Ship & Pilot

After the licensing hearing, The Ship & Pilot was issued with a two-month licence suspension. We explored every possible option, including seeking legal advice and considering an appeal. Unfortunately, due to the significant costs involved and the uncertainty of the outcome, an appeal was not financially viable for us at this time.

While this has been a difficult period, we have used the time to reflect, make improvements, and prepare for the future. We would like to thank all of our customers, friends, and supporters for your patience, understanding, and continued loyalty throughout the suspension.

🍻 The good news is that we will be reopening on 2nd August! 🍻

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back through our doors and get back to doing what we love most – serving our community and creating great times together.

Thank you for standing by us. Your support means more than you know.

See you on 2nd August at The Ship & Pilot! ⚓🍺

📢 IMPORTANT NOTICE 📢

We would like to reassure all our customers that Ship & Pilot is STILL OPEN and trading as normal. 🍻

Following recent news reports, we understand there may be some confusion regarding the licensing decision. Aside from the proposed 2-month suspension of the licence, the Panel also resolved to add conditions to the current licence, which would only take effect following the conclusion of the appeal period.

We are currently in the process of appealing the decision and, during this time, the pub remains open as usual while we continue serving our customers in a safe and responsible environment.

Thank you for all the continued support and loyalty — it truly means a lot to us ❤️

Please continue to support your local pub and community 🍺
