A Culinary Landmark Since 1549
With a 4.5-star rating built on centuries of hospitality, we're more than just a place to eat. Our guests consistently rank us as one of London's top dining destinations for our commitment to seasonal ingredients and impeccable service. Read why thousands have made us a "must-visit" London restaurant.
The fish & chips were some of the best I've had—crispy batter, perfectly cooked fish, and delicious fries on the side. They also have a fantastic selection of beers on tap and with something for every taste. The atmosphere is cosy and full of character, with that classic British pub charm. What really stood out, though, was the staff, friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. It's a great place to relax, grab a pint, and enjoy a proper meal. I'll definitely be coming back!

Fabulous traditional old boozer downstairs and a lovely “old school” dining area upstairs. The food was beautifully cooked and well presented. The menu choice was a cut above traditional pub food and very tempting. Service from Frederika was super -friendly, helpful and professional. Will eat there again.

Came here for a roast and we were well looked after, the food portions are very generous and the staff were great throughout. Nice selection of wines with dinner and the pork scratchings are super tasty as a snack while you're looking through the menu. 6 of us, all went well.

A welcoming restaurant in the heart of Holborn
We invite you to enjoy our unique dining experience at The Ship Tavern, where tradition and comfort go hand in hand. Our Oak Room and Ship’s Tavern provide a warm, atmosphere with candlelit mahogany walls, antique paintings, with air conditioning for hot London summers, and a crackling open fire for the colder months. You can sink into one of our private booths or gather around sharing platters with family and friends, all while enjoying the best of British cuisine.
Our menu features classics like Beef Wellington, pot pie of the day, and fish and chips, with daily specials straight from our local market suppliers.
