Good spot for lunch. Good pub food, hot, tasty and good service. It's just outside the town centre, but 2 minutes walk. Worth paying them a visit. They have a good range of beers available. Outside seating is available in the summer months.

Fruit machine will eat your money and the bar staff will claim they have no control over the machine, while reassuring you it happens all the time. Any bar that is party to a scam is a scam so this bar is a scam.

We visited this historic characterful pub on the way back to hotel after dinner. My partner had a pint of Guinness which was very good and I had a red wine. The prices were very reasonable, and there was a good atmosphere.

Wanted on a warm night to get out of the house and watch England Rugby. First time visit, despite walking by numerous Saturdays going to the Blues. Being teetotal not really been a pub person, but after watching Womens World Cup Final at G&D tried The Ship. Will be back through the season, as a nice selection of my fave drinks, Fentimans and Alchol Free Kopperburg Ciders, alternatives to Coke Zero.

This was my local for over 2 years, and the staff and everyone there has always been very welcoming. Can’t fault the place!

This pub is a great place for a get together with family or friends right in Bedford. Parking is plentiful at the back, which is free when you give in your registration number when you arrive. We had many pleasant lunches here, good seating inside or outside in the sunshine either under umbrellas, or in covered cubicles - which could get a bit hot in summertime! Lovely large hanging baskets full of flowers in summer too. Very reasonable and dogs welcome on a leash. Highly recommended.

Arrived and parked no problem. A few weeks later I received a parking charge notice. I appealed the notice and supplied supporting evidence in the form of photos showing no signage at the entrance and a dark car park where you would not have been able to see the small sign that is conveniently located out of the way. The appeal was accepted and the charge cancelled but I was given a warning that it was for this time only and if I breech the terms again they will fine me. Well I won't be breaching the terms again as I won't come back! I don't need any legal expertise to know that a hidden sign in a dark car park will hold no weight in a civil court. None of the staff in the pub mentioned the parking. Disgusting! I challenge The Ship to respond with a remotely acceptable reply. Sort out your car park and stop scamming your customers!
The management should be aware that on numerous occasions, especially after big matches, male customers exit, then immediately urinate up the wall of the cobblers across the road. More vigorous patrolling of the pub frontage would help to prevent this.

Wow, what a difference from the last few weeks. The new holding manager Emma was on for her first shift and was a wonderful ball of energy. Everything looks like we are going to get back to the good times. Pleasant service, welcoming staff, good food and a laughter!
