We were thrilled to stumble upon The Ship Inn – a fantastic pub nestled along Weymouth’s quayside, with wonderful views of tethered boats and meandering passersby walking the old stone pier.
Struggling to choose between the many dishes on offer from the well-crafted menu and specials board, we eventually settled on an indulgent starter of baked Camembert spiked with fragrant garlic and thyme and served with bread, celery and carrot sticks – a real treat for the tastebuds. For the main course, I was perhaps inspired by our seaside location and couldn’t pass up the crayfish linguine in delicious lobster bisque. My partner opted for the vibrant Buddha bowl – a symphony of colourful veggies, grains, pulses and pomegranate seeds drizzled with lemon dressing which made for the perfect summer treat. For dessert we shared three delightful mini puddings: white chocolate and raspberry panna cotta, lemon meringue mess and chilled seasonal fruit crumble.
Whether dining inside in the cosy restaurant or enjoying your meal al fresco in the lovely outside area, you’re sure to be impressed by The Ship Inn. Captivating views accompanied by top-notch food make this a sure-fire winner. The jewel in the crown of Weymouth’s dining scene, this delightful establishment deserves to be discovered and treasured.
