Coach House At The Ship - Bedford

After dinner, we stopped by this charming, historic pub on our way back to the hotel. My partner enjoyed a pint of Guinness, which he said was excellent. I opted for a glass of red wine. The prices were quite reasonable, and the atmosphere was lively.

Wanted on a warm night to get out of the house and watch England Rugby. First time visit, despite walking by numerous Saturdays going to the Blues. Being teetotal not really been a pub person, but after watching Womens World Cup Final at G&D tried The Ship. Will be back through the season, as a nice selection of my fave drinks, Fentimans and Alchol Free Kopperburg Ciders, alternatives to Coke Zero.

I arrived at the restaurant and had no trouble parking. However, a few weeks later, I received a parking charge notice. I contested the notice by providing evidence such as photos showing the lack of signage at the entrance and the poorly lit parking lot where the small sign was not visible. My appeal was successful and the charge was dropped, but I was warned that any future violations would result in a fine. I have no intention of returning as I find it unacceptable to be deceived by hidden signs in a dark parking lot. The staff at the restaurant did not mention anything about the parking situation, which I find disappointing. I challenge The Ship to provide a satisfactory explanation and improve their parking facilities to avoid misleading their customers.

Wow, what a difference from the last few weeks. The new holding manager Emma was on for her first shift and was a wonderful ball of energy. Everything looks like we are going to get back to the good times. Pleasant service, welcoming staff, good food and a laughter!

Bang on Ale Just had a few pints off Abbot, not sure what they done but one of the best pints I’ve have. Lovely quite tues afternoon. Will visit again!!! Much improve.
