Bucking Fastard left this review about The Old Ship
A Youngs house with attractive exterior stained glass and a traditional two room interior with dark wood flooring throughout.The smarter section is to the left with lots of wood panelling and it's own bar access.The right side is more earthy and has a long devided drinking shelf and high stools with more dining type tables further back.Lots of wall hung photos and maps of the River Thames,although the pub itself sits on a street corner in the shopping district.
There were 4 handpumps all clipped on my visit but on ordering St Austell Proper Job,then Youngs Winter Warmer I was told both were not available.Still the clips were not reversed,very bad practice.That left just two options Youngs Original (NBSS 2) and Special.Food is served most sessions but my tuna sandwich left a lot to be desired.
I can see no reason to return,with some dedication and TLC this could be a good pub,but not as it stands currently.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Old Ship
Interesting-looking pub, and easy to spot in the darker hours due to its prominent position on a road junction and the illuminated red signage on the upper façade. Traditional, multi-room interior on two floors, with plenty of dark-wood panelling and mostly nautical memorabilia. Being a Youngs pub, Original and Special plus Twickenham Naked Ladies as a guest available from the various handpumps on three different bar counters.

Moby Duck left this review about The Old Ship
A two roomed pub, quite attractive with lead lined windows and a general olde worlde feel.There are eight pumps in all four in each room and on my visit the beers were duplicated on either side, these were Young's Bitter, Special and Winter Warmer plus Twickenham Grandstand, the Young's Bitter reflected its nom de plume and was indeed rather ordinary. I thought the pub itself was ok but given the beer line up I wouldn't make a beeline back too soon.
