Bar & Lounge

The Ship Inn has gained an excellent island reputation for the food and drink it serves throughout the year. It has a good selection of CAMRA approved hand pulled cask ales from the very popular Holy Island bitter plus supporting a number of award winning micro breweries from the North East region. A good range of national keg ales are also on offer.

In addition we now have our own in house distillery where we produce our very popular range of Holy island Gin. Please see www.holyislandgin.co.uk for the Holy Island Gin story and on line sales request if required.

Combine this with an excellent range of malt whiskies, wines and spirits from around the world ensures the discerning drinker is well catered for. A drink can be enjoyed at the bar, the lounge or our popular beer garden when fine weather allows.

In the cold winter months the wood burner is lit where you can relax by the warmth of a traditional fire and just savour the atmosphere that a traditional inn can offer. Whether enjoying a drink, talking to friends or loved ones, relax reading a paper or book, just while away the day savouring the uniqueness of this inn on Holy Island.

At lunchtime the menu offers light bites, homemade soup (suitable for vegetarians/vegans) a range of sandwiches, including our popular Holy Island crab with seasonal changes to various hot meals on offer to see you through the day. Please see our drop down menu which is updated regularly showing the seasonal changes on offer.
