Indie Pub Review 🍔 Spring may be teasing us that it’s on its way, but an independently owned pub with as much going for it as The Ship Inn in Uphill will always have its place in the community 🍻🍽️

ad/pr 📍 @theshipinnuphill, Weston-Super-Mare

We were kindly invited to the oldest pub in WSM last week, and upon seeing the great kids menu (hello potato faces!) decided to make it a family affair. We had:

🩶 Mac n Cheese Bites

🩶 Chicken in a cream and chorizo sauce

🩶 Fish & Chips

🩶 Burger & Chips

🩶 Lasagne

🩶 Kids Nuggets, Beans & Potato Faces

🩶 Lemon Meringue Pie

🩶 Chocolate Fudge Cake

🩶 Kid’s Ice Cream

Aka, a feast for the five of us! The chips were those slightly curved ones (hard to explain, zoom in!) that we as a family have a thing for, so they were an immediate hit. It can be a worry when you see a big menu but each of us enjoyed what we ordered – nobody had a dud! It was good honest pub grub done well, comfort food to get rid of our never ending colds 🤧

Prices are reasonable (e.g. Cod & Chips £14.95, kids meals from £5.25 for a main) but if you’re keen for an offer, there’s a and a brilliant value mid week lunch deal. It runs Monday to Friday from 12pm to 2.30pm with a range of dishes for £8, including my favourite, scampi 😋 They also have seasonal specials (the spring menu featuring treats such as ox cheeks with creamy leek mash) and this week they’re taking part in British Pie week with a different flavour on offer each day 🥧

Drinks wise it’s a traditional venue with all the usuals, but I was also impressed with the alcohol free selection. Perhaps something to do with the several team members going sober in Feb, raising over £500 for @targetovarian Cancer in the process? 🙌🏻 The @oldmoutcideruk 0% Berries and Cherries I had was very refreshing!

There’s a small car park, a beer garden, dogs are welcome, you’ll also find a pool table, darts and skittles plus live music and quizzes too. A true all-rounder!
