The New Ship - South Shields

A good, sunday roasted part of the pub is dog friendly. many outdoor seating and

Nice pub. Friendly crowd and top quizmaster. Why not pop in on a Thursday night and find out for yourself?

We used to live close to this pub 25yrs ago, at that time it was very popular with the locals and passing trade. It does have a car park and lots of outdoor seating, a large conservatory area but, when we where in they were looking for a chef.

We hadn 't been here for quite a while, and we most probably won 't go back for a while. The staff were lovely and friendly but one or two things let the place down. FOOD the mashed swede was over seasoned with pepper to the extent that it made my mouth tingle and burn not nice at all, and it 's usually one of my favourite veg. The roasties were bland and tasted of cooking oil. The gravy was noticeably lumpy. Sprouts were soggy. Only the carrots and mash were enjoyable. The slice of lamb was quite nice, though. For the price of £7 for a 'small ' carvery, it was poor in relation to other venues we have tried. CONSERVATORY It 's lovely and bright in the conservatory, but it was so hot! The heating was on full blast, and with the sun streaming in, it was very uncomfortable. I 'm sorry, I can only give 3 . In the past, it would have been at least 4

Good choice of veg, was a bit cold though and could do with some TLC.
