Strongers . left this review about The Ship

The Ship is a small traditional corner plot London Boozer with a well-trodden wooden floor and high tables across the front windows and up the right-hand wall where they’re split midway by an etched glass partition. In fact, there is lots of etched glass both inside and on the exterior windows. The serving counter runs up the left-hand wall to a sunken seating area at the rear. This is a Fullers pub, so London Pride, Seafarers and ESB were available from the five hand pumps alongside Adnams’ Lazy Sipa and a Lilley’s cider that was ‘coming soon’. Premium keg options were also available alongside Neck Oil and the peachy Jubel. I love a traditional pub, so I’ll be popping back in when next in Soho.

Bucking Fastard left this review about The Ship

Classic small street corner Soho pub,tied to Fullers but with an exterior devoid of heavy branding and windows with good etched glass. The frontage can open out in fine weather,the interior is very traditional with a mirrored bar back on the left side,a mix of low and high tables and a rear section that opens out a bit.A fine staircase leads to a private Captains bar,presumably gay friendly.The muzak was a good jazz track,enhancing the atmosphere early doors on a Sunday.
The 10 keg fonts do include some craft keg options,while the handpumps were drawing Fullers ESB,London Pride and Sticky Wicket besides Dark Star Sunquake (NBSS 3.5),and Hogs Back When Hogs Fly.
Food is snacky and under £7 ,the short menu comprised three pies and three toasties but the quality was terrific and my mushroom and emmental toastie was accompanied by a very strong mustard which I was warned about by the barman,it certainly cleared my sinuses ; a perfect drinking snack.
I liked this pub and would return,it feel authentic and straight people are welcome but be tolerant.One of the better pubs in Soho.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Ship

Long, thin single-bar Fuller's pub with a traditional-looking facade but quite basic inside apart from the heritage features. Now has five handpumps, offering London Pride, Oliver's Island, ESB, the last cask of Dark Star's seasonal Nørdland IPA (£5.45) and the first Spring Sprinter. First revisit for 11 years, and I must say that I enjoyed it rather more this time so rating increased accordingly.
