   Last minute decision to go out for dinner and decided to give The Ship in Distress a try and didn't regret it. Superb service, friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious and well presented. Overall very good and will be back. Many thanks.

   Family birthday get together. Everyone was impressed by the great value for money. Good selection of courses and the drinks were served quickly throughout the meal. Friendly staff and clean throughout. Very nice pub with plenty of charm. Absolutely no complaints about this visit, so thank you for a lovely time 😊.

   As a coeliac I was told the meal I had was gluten free, gammon, eggs, chips and onion rings. I do not believe that the onion rings were gluten free and I was instantly glutened within an hour.

   I booked a table on line for the restaurant to eat which was very easy to do as my partner and I were visiting my son who lives in Christchurch. All the staff were very friendly. It was very busy and we didn't realise there was a band playing that night, however being seated in the restaurant it was not overly loud. Considering the very reasonable prices for food I was not expecting much, but I have to say the food was excellent. The mixed grill, Fish and chips and my Mushroom pie was really tasty. My only complaint would be the pie on the menu stated it came with sautee potates. The potatoes were defiantly not small pieces of fried potatoes, they were whole potatoes cut in half and were slightly hard and definitely not fried like sautee should be, however saying that they were very edible. Overall it was a lovely evening, with a great atmosphere. Would definitely return again.

   My husband and I booked at short notice, we both had the sea bass fillets on a bean risotto. It was delicious and although the young lady seemed to be serving on her own, we weren't ignored, she was very accommodating. We will definitely be back.

   Enjoyed a tasty meal in pleasant garden (the restaurant indoors looked very nice too) - good menu provided by friendly folk Handy for an enjoyable afternoon meal followed by a lovely country walk around Stanpit Marshes. Will be pleased to return! Many thanks

   Friendly staff, good food at good prices. Very well kept bar/restaurant. Easy to manoeuvre around. Easy to get to as it’s not in the town centre.

    The Ship in Distress offers a varied and competitively priced menu. Staff and friendly and helpful. Pub is cosy and patio area is nice for warmer days. Food itself was tasty.
