The Ship Inn is a charming Grade II listed pub dating back to 1657, steeped in maritime history and full of traditional character. Original features including exposed timber beams, brickwork, flagstone flooring and open fireplaces create a warm and authentic atmosphere throughout.
The main open-plan bar can accommodate up to 100 guests and features a unique bar servery crafted from the remains of an old ship, while a separate private dining room provides seating for a further 18 customers. To the rear, a versatile function suite with its own bar, skittle alley and seating for around 60 guests offers excellent potential for private events and community gatherings.
The pub is supported by a well-equipped commercial kitchen, extensive storage facilities and a refrigerated beer store, making it ideally suited to a strong food and drink operation.
Outside, customers can enjoy multiple trading spaces, including front and rear patios, a beer garden, and a large heated marquee with capacity for approximately 100 guests. A customer car park and generous owner's accommodation further enhance the appeal of this impressive business.
Rich in history, character and trading potential, The Ship Inn presents a rare pub opportunity in Hampshire to operate a destination pub with multiple revenue streams from food, drink, functions and events.
