The Ship Inn

Originally built in 1592, very much appreciated, the Ship Inn is full of beautiful, historic features, including ancient wood beams and original wooden floors. In the centre of the small, valued throughout, charming town of Rye, the Ship is a modern take on the traditional English inn - a cosy pub, rich in original character, with simple, comfortable en suite rooms above. Food is freshly cooked to order and the menu mainly consists of traditional English pub dishes, highly regarded, with specials that change daily, from fish and chips to lobster, and from toad in the hole to haunch of venison. In the heart of the town, and above all, at the foot of Mermaid Street, the inn offers real ales and cider from the barrel alongside tasty homemade food, made with fresh local ingredients. Books, very much appreciated, magazines, board games and Wi-Fi are all available too, along with picnics and buckets and spades. The en suite rooms are newly decorated with comfortable beds and good quality linen.
