The Ship Inn

You'll find yourself at the water's edge here, literally—The Ship Inn sits right on The Stade, that cobbled stretch where the fishing boats still land their catch. It's the kind of place where regulars nod at each other over pints of local ales, and you genuinely can't tell if someone's just wandered in from a morning at sea or has been nursing the same drink since opening time. The food is straightforward: fish and chips done properly, pies that actually taste like something, Sunday roasts that hit different when you can see the seafront from your table. It's all wood-panelled walls, low ceilings, and the sort of atmospheric grooves that come from decades of being exactly what it is—no renovation needed, no Instagram angle required.
