About this restaurant
Great for outdoor dining
Good for groups
Good for special occasions
What was once a rowdy sailor’s drinking den has been transformed into a civilised gastro pub complete with a separate and impressive function and convention facility that can cater for up to 200 guests.
This iconic South Bank hotel was constructed in 1864 and has developed a reputation as a lamb lover’s paradise. Our classic pub style menu boasts mouth watering dishes for all dining tastes.
With three distinct dining areas plus function rooms, The Ship Inn is the perfect location for casual dining, lazy alfresco lunches, functions and events.
We don’t have poker machines, we don’t have TV’s and we don’t have TAB. We are a true gastro pub with a traditional atmosphere in a prime South Bank location.
Visit us to experience the charm of our unique hotel venue.

The staff was so happy and friendly and very obliging with some changes to what was offered on the menu. eg I ordered Steak but it came with veges etc and I just wanted a salad which they happily provided.

Dined with a group of seven friends. Food quality was good and reasonably priced. Drinks were also reasonably priced. Service was good. Only negative is that it does close fairly early for a Saturday night. Think this may be the case for a number of dining venues in the area.
