Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Ship
The Ship was the better of the two pubs we tried in Chatteris. From the outside, it didn't look too promising. The car park is just across a side road and had a few items dumped in it. Outside, there was a blackboard stating that it was cash only and we could see fruit machines flashing through the windows.
Once inside, the bar is immediately in front of you. There is an area of seating with a pool table off to the left, with a little more seating off to the right, where you can also find a small games room with a dartboard. The decoration is all very simple. However, the welcome was much warmer than in the Cross Keys Hotel just down the road and more importantly the beer quality was significantly better. Timothy Taylor Landlord is the regular beer. Guests were Morland Old Speckled Hen & Tydd Steam Barn Ale. The latter was very nice indeed.
This pub does the decent things right with small touches that matter. Seeing that we were struggling to work out the wifi code at the side of the bar, the landlady brought over a separate card with the code on.
