The Ship
We are excited to say that we are now closed whilst our refurb takes place! We will be closing our doors for a few months whilst the building work is undertaken. Reopening date TBC but we will post it on here and on social media as soon as we have a definite date. We can't wait to welcome you all back to the Ship in a few months time.

The Ship, a traditional coaching inn with rooms in the quaint village of Parkgate, Wirral. Our bar has an array of great local ales, quality wines and soft drinks. We also stock the usual and sometimes not so usual selection of whiskies, gins, rums and other tipples. Our buzzy atmosphere in the pub stems from our healthy mix of diners and those popping in for a drink or two.
Services
Parkgate is one of those places that seems to change very little over time and from historic photos it can be seen that other than a few retailers and provisioners that move on or change their name, the Parade remains instantly recognisable. We feel this untouched, almost timeless feel to Parkgate is what gives the place its charm.
Choose to enjoy a relaxing drink at The Ship in front of our open fire, nestled into one of our cosy corners or for those warm summer months then unwind outside on our heated terrace. Our bar offers a selection of local real ales, fine lagers, ciders, world wines and our large choice of soft drinks.

As rules ease in England, we welcome the return to what feels somewhat normal however we still put our team and our customers safety at the forefront of what we do and therefore will be keeping a number of restrictions in place as we feel this ensures safety for all whilst maintaining the friendly and sociable environment that our pubs always offer.

Love visiting Parkgate and to include a stay at the Ship for a birthday meal was lovely. We had a surprise cake for one of our party and they delivered to our table in a discreet but special manner. Shame the Ship is closed now for refurbishment until December!

A memorable overnight stay.
We got to the ship an hour early and they were able to check us in that little earlier which we appreciated. We headed upto our room navigating through narrow but charming hallways. We booked a double room which was nice and clean, presentable and spacious for an overnight visit. The decor was old but in keeping with the style of hotel, which was totally fine. A broken bathroom lock and bed that was quite creeky, but is forgiving as we have only come out of a covid pandemic.
We headed out to the bar area to grab a drink and look at the amazing view. There was a good

Staff very friendly, polite and attentive. The pub has a great admosphere and layout, very welcoming.
Overall, the food was very good, a good variety on the menu too. I had the calamari to start which was a little overdone and on the chewy side, but still tasted good. The steak and ale pie was very good, as was the fish and chips, decent generous portions.
Looking forward to trying something else on our next visit.

I like The Ship. It's a perfect Bolthole for me when I visit my parents. Great location and super views of North Wales. The hotel is about to under go major renovations. Can't wait to see what they do.

Food is delicious but portions are small. Staff need training regarding what is on the menu because the waitress didn't know if certain things were gluten free or not.
Lovely outdoor seating, beautiful view from the balcony.
