We popped in for lunch. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent, hot and fresh. A good range of drinks at reasonable prices. Our dog liked it here too, thanks

First visit to the Ship Inn today and definitely won't be the last. Great fresh food, very welcoming, friendly staff. Ideal for sports on telly too! And lively outdoor area to the rear.

This was our first visit to Melrose and first time in the Ship Inn, we will definitely be back. The food and the choice was excellent and also at a very reasonable price. The staff were very attentive and polite. I can definitely recommend this place.

Visited today with my mum and daughter for lunch. Staff were super friendly, and made us feel really welcome. Our server was great with my daughter too. My daughter's food arrived first which I really appreciated as it gave me time to cut it up and cool it down before my food arrived. Couldn't fault it at all.

We had a nice surprise here. The beer was brilliant Greene King Ice Breaker. We stopped in for a quick beer after a rainy walk and liked the beer and music so went back later for more beer and food. Good choice from the menu and huge portions. Food was really good and staff incredibly friendly. Only hiccup was a couple of oblivious owners who came with a barking dog and sat at the bar near to our reserved table its a dog friendly pub with large covered beer garden.

The Ship Inn is a cozy pub with two main sections, including a small area for locals on the left and a larger area on the right. The pub has recently been renovated but still maintains its old stone walls and traditional bar. It has a layout similar to the Clutha Bar and is dog friendly, like many other pubs in Melrose. The pub serves a delicious pint of Deuchars IPA, which is a rare find. While the outdoor area at the back was undergoing refurbishment during our visit, it looks promising and will likely be a great spot to enjoy a drink in the sun in Melrose.

I can whole hearty say this is one of the best places I've been for food, quality service and brilliant atmosphere. This dog friendly pub could not do enough to cater to me and my dogs. We had a meeting of dog trainers locally and they we're absolutely fine with more than one dog joining our table and even took the time to ask about the dogs. The staff are lovely, they take the time to make sure your ok and the food is good. Even at busy times they let us know ETA on food and always with a genuine smile. The food was fantastic, great portion sizes and large menu to choose from for pub classics and some modern twists. I'll 100% be back again next year.

We went to the ship inn for my son's birthday. On arrival the staff informed us that they didn't have our booking which was disappointing. The staff apologised and came up with the solution of us eating outside in the covered outside seating. I pointed out that it wasn't the warmest day to sit out, so the barstaff immediately found blankets for the colder members of our party and sat us near a heater. They came later to offer us inside seats but we declined as we were quite comfortable. The food was good wholesome home made dishes, the portion sizes were large. Everyone in our party were very happy with the service supplied at the ship inn. I'd like to add that the staff were excellent, poli...
