Popped in for lunch on Sunday afternoon (about 3pm). Food served till 5pm. Had the Beef / Gammon dual roast and it was amazing. Apologies for no pics of plates, but as soon as they hit the table they were eaten without thought. Great selection of drinks, we had the non alcoholic as driving. Still about 4 options for non alc beers etc. lovely service and great atmosphere. Check ahead for live music too! Will certainly be returning often.

A real let down to the beautiful village of Tatsfield;; residents and visitors deserve more. Drinks are overpriced, prices that are not justified considering the severe lack of atmosphere and ambience. The lighting is terrible and the indoors shabby and uncomfortable. The staff are rude and lack any warmth or customer services. No wonder the majority of local residents still flock in preference to the quality of The Bakery or the warmth and friendly nature of the village club, with realistic and respectful prices that do not take the p*** thus often leaving The Old Ship embarrassingly empty on a Friday and Saturday night, especially during the winter months when the garden is out of use. As a family we would prefer to pay for a cab to any other pub than have to suffer the poor service, appalling ambiance and overpriced food and drink served in our local. What a shame!

Great little local pub, very cosy with the stove burning furiously in the corner. Nice friendly staff, great selection of beers and Ales. The food is really good traditional pub grub and they have a good selection of vegan options too which is great for me. The atmosphere is very nice too, very family friendly and there's a playground in the garden for the kids. What more could you ask for???Vegetarian options: Good vegan options.

Very nice food and a lovely lady took our order . We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely go again
Moved to area recently and thought we would try pub for a quick lunch whilst working from home - not terribly impressed - pub smells of old oil due to lack of extraction or filters not cleaned - sat in garden with our dog and as there were only 4 people in garden (no sun shade on any tables) we let him off lead - he’s a 14 year old Westie (so of course terrifying to others) - he wandered over to the dog bowl and we were immediately told to put him back on lead - by this time we were the only people in the garden - everyone locally we have spoken to warned us off this pub and we wanted to give them benefit of the doubt, but with the lack of sparkling water (acted like this was a weird thing to ask for in 2023) and the food menu being circa 1982 we will not be returning - nor will our dog - this community pub has all the bones of a great pub, fab sized garden, centre of the village but it needs a shake up and a move to modern pub culture - it could be amazing and the heart of this village - but it’s far from it and it’s very disappointing.

Tipped up to try the place for the first time and sample the Sunday lunch. Food was delicious and a reasonable price. Staff where very happy and helpful. In the back there is a decent garden and a decent size play set for small kids to vent some energy on. Definitely a recommendation and one we shall return too.

Warm, friendly and very traditional pub with a decent range of food and drink. The service was very friendly and the food was good, especially the home made soup. First visit for many years and will definitely return.
