Great local Emsworth pub. Good selection of alcohol with regular guest beers. Food is homemade and delicious. Staff are really friendly and helpful and the service is great. If you are planning to eat, especially at lunchtime, I would recommend booking a table.
Hi, my husband and I came in for lunch today. Really wanted you to know how wonderful our experience was in The Bluebell. The service was outstanding and the food was incredible. We had the 2 course Burns menu. All courses were so good. I had the potted Salmon and then the Haggis, so delicious. My husband had the soup and the Balmoral Chicken which was also perfect. You had 3 front of house staff. I believe the lady behind the bar was called Louise. We have been served by her in the past. A blonde lady front of house and a very polite young man Theo. Having worked in hospitality for many years I appreciate how challenging it can be at times. Both ladies a huge credit. Thank you and 👏🏻 we will be back. Also well done to the chefs 🙌🙌 it was great to see them in action from table 12.
Lovely staff with a warm welcome. We came in for lunch which we had booked for, nice atmosphere and the menu has a wide selection. We all ordered sandwiches and a cup of soup for an extra £1.50. However we ended up waiting an hour for our food. Considering the sandwiches, apart from a bit of rare steak, there wasn’t anything to actually be cooked as it should be prepared ready anyway, not really acceptable to waiting that long. I had the prawn and crayfish sandwich, taste was nice however the rosemary sauce was very runny and so made the sandwich soggy and awkward to eat. The crab sandwich was also a bit like a runny paste. The coleslaw was tasty and the soup was delicious. About 40 minutes into our wait for food one of the servers came and apologised for the wait and that the chef was really busy, however didn’t look as though there was plate after plate being served to customers… overall was quite a nice visit but would have preferred a more honest reason why it took an hour for prepared sandwiches and soup.
Popped in for lunch after a recommendation. We were very pushed for time and the pub was packed. We explained our tight timetable to the landlady, and she did everything possible to expedite our meal, which was excellent. Although very busy, she was courteous and made every customer welcome with a lovely smile with a very easy manner. Terrific service, superb food.đź‘Ťđź‘Ťđź‘Ť
Great little traditional English boozer offering good beers, good food, and good times. Not many tables inside so it can get quite cosy, but this is one of the attractions of the place. The staff are helpful and friendly and there’s a nice atmosphere in the evenings.

The Ship Inn is a popular, lively pub in the centre of Emsworth. Well-kept ales and lagers are complemented by traditional pub food at lunchtimes, while evenings herald a buzzing atmosphere and some friendly competition at the pool table.
