We were travelling home from the New Forest on a Saturday evening and decided on a pitstop. We pulled into Upavon and there are two pubs opposite each other and we picked the Ship on external appearances. A very welcoming atmosphere in a spotless, beautifully presented bar in a truly gorgeous, serene part of the world. We didn't stop for food but that will be remedied the next time we come through. A proper village pub in every sense.?

I looked at the opening houses on Google map and decided to meet a friend for coffee at 11am on a Wednesday couple of weeks ago before our walk as it was half way between our homes. When I arrived, the pub was closed and spoke to the landlord who was taking a delivery. I was told he didn't open until 12 noon. I pointed out his opening hours were wrong on Google map and suggested to him they needed updating. He told me it was Google's fault (which it isn't), as it is the responsibility of the business to update their own page.Since then, I made an edit suggestion to Google map and they've updated the opening hours within 24 hours of my request for the Wednesday only. Why can't the Ship do the same for the other days saving potential clients turning up when the pub is closed???

6 of us ate here this evening. All meals were freshly cooked - scampi moist/steak tender and cooked to perfection/ Greek Salad and Caesar Salad were yummy and so fresh and crunchy - just delicious and two children loved their Goujons and Fish Fingers. Service with a smile. Highly recommend The Antelope in UpavonKid-friendliness: Very welcoming staff - and the dogs were welcomed too.

Went for the monthly quiz, thoroughly enjoyed it and each table got a free bowl of sausages and chips!

Lovely owners and team who made all our friends and family welcome for our sons after christening buffet. Gorgeous food and warm atmosphere, diet requirements fully listened to and met. Really rounded off a special day, thank you!Would highly recommend, we have already been back for a family meal-again delicious!

I love this pub! This used to by local when I lived on the Army camp a few years ago. Hopefully will be my local again soon!Parking: Some people have commented on problems on parking. Personally I used to return home by stumbling half-cut through the fields in wellies! But the parking looks ok to me.

Love The Ship for a Sunday roast. Staff are friendly and food is delicious! Especially love the homemade cheesecake.Family friendly pub.Kid-friendliness: The chef made my fussy child something that wasn’t on the menu! Very accommodating.

Bravo! it's been a very long time since I've found a pub that's made me so welcome on my visit. The landlord, landlady and staff were really welcoming and they went out of their way to make sure myself and my family were happy. They have a young family of their own and was lovely to watch their children interact with the locals. One of the best family /dog friendly pubs I've been to! Will definitely be returning soon. Thankyou THE SHIP AT UPAVON X

Misleading website information said food was available until 3pm. We arrived at 2:40 and were told they stopped food at 2:30. They said they had no bookings but we had tried to phone 3 times and nobody answered the phone. We left and went to the Antelope across the road where we were made very welcome and fed well.

Very bad food ❌They should try their food before serving it to customers, I order a roast beef that could not even cut with a knife let alone eat it, the cow must have died of old age....They apologized but charge me the full amount, what a shame....Not recommended ??❗
