The Ship in Bishop’s Sutton is reopening today at 10am.

Kelly Shaw, who grew up in nearby Winchester and worked in its pubs, is the new landlady of the village inn which is mainly late 18th-century but probably dates from the 1600s.

The Ship’s wine list is now entirely organic and the menu will follow the seasons. ‘You won’t find strawberries in winter here,’ insists Kelly who describes The Ship as ‘an all day pub in the truest sense’.

The food can just be described as affordable with snacks at £8 and small dishes £14. Coffee and pastries are available all day in the stables now called The Ship Studio.

The Ship opening times are Tue-Thu 10am-11pm; Fri & Sat 10am-11.30pm; Sun 12-10pm.

Pub food is available Wed-Sat 12-2:30pm & 5:30-9:00pm; Sun 12-3pm.

The Ship is on the Pilgrims’ Way at the corner of the main street and Church Lane which leads to the church.

The pilgrim stamp is obtainable from the church which has an unusual Norman beakhead doorway decoration.
