Having visited the Ship Inn before a few times, including once with today's guest, we found the seafood to be very good again, but she was very disappointed with her pasta dish. The waitress passed this on to the chef who came to speak to us and was initially very challenging, then verbally quite aggressive, ultimately suggesting we should not come back again. We won't, but though the food is generally very good, don't risk complaining! Nice pub, good food, but the experience was spoiled today by the chef!

Limekilns is a small village south of the main road from Kincardine to Rosyth the A985. The village is historical and has been on the go since before the 15th century. So to the pub which has a great outlook to the south of the Forth when sitting outside. Good choice of whisky and ales. Try not to miss this one.

A warm, welcoming atmosphere is just one reason for visiting the Ship. 3 handpumps dispense an ever changing and very well kept range of ales. The house wines are more than palateable and in the summer it is possible to sit outside and look out over the waters of the Forth (albeit on the other side of a rather quiet road). the home-cooked food looks good and has a good reputation but I have yet to sample it. Definitely worth a visit.
