The Ship Public House

Large pub with plenty seat in.good selection of beer. what let's the pub were down are the gents toilets, the floor were flooded with ???.

You have recently updated your menu prices (increased) so there really is no excuse for lack of transparency of pricing. when ordering an omelette i asked how many fillings do you get with that (the menu states a fluffy omelette with your choice of fillings, and no extra charge is mentioned) , i was told as many as i wanted, i repeated my question and the same answer was given. i chose 2 fillings which is fairly standard when eating out. on paying, the price increased from the advertised menu price. only upon asking i was told it’s extra for each filling. nothing is mentioned on the menu and the member of staff also did not say even when asked when choosing the fillings. only when i questioned the difference price was i told oh yeah it’s extra for each filling. do you really want to be underhand in this way by making an extra few pounds and being un transparent in your pricing and frankly annoying your customer. just put it on the menu please and be clear. otherwise customers will be wondering is sauce extra, salt , vinegar, where else are the extra charges hidden. i have had to mention this as a little while back upon ordering an all day breakfast, i was asked if i wanted toast and extra money was added, again with no mention of the extra charge form the member of staff. i have been coming here for 30 years and have only recently noticed these underhand practices.

My favourite pub in chelmsford. always a great atmosphere, great draught beers and excellent food. staff are always so friendly and welcoming. i absolutely love this gem in chelmsford city centre!

A short walk from the station and town centre this pub has maintained its excellent choice of beers, beautiful decor and always friendly and efficient staff. one of the last proper pubs still in chelmsford.

Bar staff excellent. ordered off the board, said salmon with sauce on side. bar staff took order. kitchen staff came out after 10 minutes & said salmon is cooked in sauce, so said no thanks, chose a different dish. when food came out was informed cutlery on the bar. wrong attitude.
