The Ship & Castle is a welcoming pub located in Portsmouth, right next to the International Ferry Port (not to be confused with the pub at The Hard). Historically once by the water, it now sits beside some reclaimed land and, despite being dwarfed by a large storage unit next door, the pub still remains a cosy and inviting spot for both the locals and tourists.
Known as the last pub before the voyage, it’s the perfect stop for travellers heading to France, Spain, or other European destinations. The pub offers a family-friendly atmosphere, warmly welcoming both children and pets. Its varied menu features homemade, allergy-friendly dishes, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
The pub also prides itself on its selection of local ales and a wide variety of drinks, catering to every taste. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, The Ship & Castle is a great place to relax, enjoy a meal and experience a good time with friendly staff.
Sundays are especially popular here, with a traditional roast dinner on offer. Choices include Turkey and Gammon, served as part of a reservation-only service to ensure a great experience. Roasts are available on the first Sunday of every month, and booking is essential by calling 023 9267 0998.
