To my mind the Ship is a bog standard pub, that is all.

Fair enough, I like it, always have good chats with the staff. Some good live music at times as well.

A bit too open plan for my liking, beer's OK. Last time I was there, for some reason, they had Vimto on tap.

That's my squash of choice this summer so that's raised my rating! :lol:

Have they still got the benches outside ? Lovely suntrap.

They have - not amazingly sunny today, however.

I have! My folks moved there a few years back and my old man likes it, been a few times.
It wouldn't be my first choice to be honest, Black Toad is the best selection in town on any given day, and The Ship at the top of the street would be my go to for a traditional boozer.

Interested to see what the new place on the high street shakes out like.

I enjoyed The Ship too, friendly enough place and the ale was decent, but the selection and quality of the ale in The Plasterers won it for me.

Anyone ever been to The Plasterers in Hoylake? If you haven't, I'd recommend it if you live over that way or are there: great pub with top ale.

It's worth a visit. It is tucked a few minutes walk from the RNLI station. I had a pint of Boltmaker, which was great, but they had four or five ales on.

Everyone seemed friendly and respectable too, so it's a big winner from me. I think I will take the dog next weekend for a walk and a pint or two.

Haven't they done it and started serving food ? It's been a while since I've been there.
