Enjoyed the haggis and nice sauce. Good friendly service.Parking: It was March, there was free parking all around the harbour.I'm not sure if it changes in the summer.

I am shocked to read reviews from last year, how much it has changed. We often went for something to eat in the ship in the past. But not in for quite some time now. They always had lovely food and very friendly staff, spot on.I would love to go for a meal again, but l am not keen to book a table and in the same time, to tell me when to finish my meal. So I definitely agree that I don't like to be told when to finish my meal. That's actually the reason that you book a table that you can take your time to eat. So, that's pretty sad.....that we will not go back to the ship.I saw not so great reviews lots has changed, I do understand time is money, but it's also creedy to make the people eat fast, I could not even think to eat 3 courses in that short time, without to rest a bit and enjoy and take your time, have another drink, they too stop the option to spend more money when sitting longer. If someone sitting there for more than 3 hours and hanging only on a drink, you still can say something at this time that you need the table.So it's just not OK to rush people to finish their meal.

Glad you’re back always loved coming to the ship for a meal. I had the chicken, leek and sweetcorn pie. Delicious, pastry was so light and came with mash and veg. My son had the Mac cheese lovely. The staff were charming. Would highly recommend and if weather nice you can have a nice walk round the harbour or visit the Maritime museum

We had a lovely lunch here. We booked in advance and it was very busy so I would recommend booking in advance.The staff are very efficient and attentive.The fish and chips were very good. The fish was done in a light batter, which was delicious. The chicken and haggis pie was very good, too . On a previous visit, we tried the chicken and banana pie, which was tasty but perhaps a one-off!£45 for two is quite expensive but reasonable for a treat now and again.

Fast service ,great choice on menu.The Cullen skink was to die for with large pieces of fish.It was quite substantial so would skip a main and go direct to the sweet. Great burger.
