LaurenNovember 9, 2014Fantastic Sunday roast, lovely environment and loads of outdoor seats looking over the river - perfect on a day like this!
- Lydia BerkennouMarch 31, 2016Great location, especially when the weather is gorgeous. You can sit with your drink on the grass and enjoy some bbq by the river
Luke Averroes CroxfordApril 24, 2022Great pub on the edge of the Thames estuary. Great for a winter roast dinner or a summertime burger and beer inside outside and terrace seating.
Time Out LondonMarch 26, 2012The capacious Old Ship is a Young’s pub with a view that makes it stand out. On sunny days the wide river path outside fills up with drinkers swinging their legs over the river wall. Read more- Time Out LondonMarch 27, 2012The tree-fringed deck, overlooking the languid curves of the Thames, is probably one of London’s best spots for getting a cold-one outside. In summer barbecues are held every Saturday and Sunday. Read more
Nat Dixon-GibsonApril 20, 2013Really wonderful staff that took care of every aspect of our wedding reception! Food was great and seasonal menu 
Recently renovated and looking truly wonderful... hopefully the menu and quality of food has now been updated to match...
YOUhomeNovember 18, 2014Enjoy your eggs royale by the river. A little further away from the others on our list, but worth the journey!
firestartrApril 10, 2011Great al fresco Sunday brunch dining spot. Warm & cosy in the winter too. But popular so be prepared to wait at the bar/ when ordering food!- Andrea MestrinerJune 22, 2015Great location and food! beer selection can be improved, good wine list
Great food! They even have an excellent selection of vegan dishes.
David ROctober 28, 2019Great views, especially on a sunny day. A bit pricey, but I suppose that’s to be expected for area. Chicken Roast was overcooked and under-seasoned.
Ollie MartinAugust 7, 2014They won't let you open a tab unless you take a staff member hostage and demand to see the boss who will tell you she needs to lock your credit card in the safe like it's the most extreme measure ever
Katz KielyMarch 3, 2013Got here at 5. Disappointed to find the roasts had run out. Went for the fish and chips.. It was pretty awesome.- Adam PalmerJanuary 28, 2015Nice beer selection and good quality food at a scenic riverside location.
Andy StaffordApril 10, 2011Allow plenty of time to get beers on a sunny day because it's a popular spot and the queue's huge!
Horrible service disastrous attitude by the whole team they all looked over worked and tired and fed-up with clients ! No respect for clients and long Q to order! I will never recommend them!
Sean CraddockJuly 24, 2011Best pub along this stretch of the Thames for a drink in the sun on the grass out front.
Toby DevesonMarch 3, 2013Just walked from Hampton court - about 4 hours - really looking forward to Sunday roast. Unfortunately they'd run out of Sunday roast already at 5 o'clock. Very disappointed. Fish and chips instead.
Alex MolonSeptember 1, 2019Terrace with great view but staff unpleasant, low quality food, very slow service. I rarely leave bad reviews but in this case was honestly too much!
- Old Ship W6June 11, 2011The sun in really trying today! the BBQ is on and we are making the most of it.
SSj GhostMarch 25, 2012Foods not great....except the goats cheese according to my gf....location is good though
Valentina Dal MasFebruary 17, 2013Food arrived very late, (45min) cold and not good at all! Staff to forget , rude to say the least. Don't understand why this place is still open
Burt SimpsonFebruary 17, 2013The service and the food are nothing short of a disaster. Literally, an apocalypse...

Old Ship W6, recorded on the census as early as 1722; It’s still the perfect place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If not, then perhaps a beer, some wine or a coffee. An idyllic spot for some time away, to bask in the glorious weather or shelter from its vagaries on one of those inclement days
