The Ship Inn - Christchurch

Took a chance and immersed there after a movie. the place was busy, but not full. ordered drinks from the bar and asked if they had one table. there were several empty tables and we took one with menus offered by the bar...we were clocked by the waiter and waited for him to take the order. after approx. 20 minutes I had to find the waiter and asked him if he could take our order. I ordered another drink from the bar and waited for 30 minutes. no service yet. I found the waiter again and asked him if he could accept our command. the answer was, we're busy. so I told the bare person that we were out and was not willing to wait longer on the wait, the waiter could take our order. I have paid for the drinks and found another restaurant. short story is, the restaurant was not full, 1 bar staff, 1 waiter is not enough.

Happy to get a star. had a Sunday afternoon in the year or so, that should have been braided bark, but was so surprised when I was given a 4 inch square big piece of fat, grimzzle no flesh at all. So. I complained and the barman looked just confused and asked if they didn't want it? he finally exchanged it after he had made a sad apology that it was only the meat cut, with the cheaper cut bark that was 3 slices thin pieces and did not pay me the difference. I walked out of the way it was just sunny to see the cook, smoke through the wooden loaf behind the kitchen, but cough and spit! I was unfortunately for a beer yesterday and had to pay £6 for a bigger one if only £4.60 for a premium camp in a higher class pub the thomas tripp.

We had a movie and dinner night, chose the ship to dinner. I felt the level of service and food to excellent, generous portions, I had the ducks and noodles. wein is expensive!

Had a 50th party with friends in this restaurant itself and a friend had the penang lamb curry it was the worse meal I had, the lamb was dry and overcooked, I mentioned it to one of the workers and they said they would. read the cook, I was just after and my friend, who had it sick. I sent the pub by e-mail and they did not have the answer

Mid morning in Christchurch and we were looking for a coffee. Decided to stop at the Ship and pleased we did. Coffee was good, staff friendly, and the pub was quiet. Perfect!
