You don't have to be Einstein to surmise that on a warm day in summer this area would prove to be very popular. And indeed it is, so much so that a sunny bank holiday will find little available space for latecomers to park their picnics and grab a pint. There's an elevated terrace too, but you'll have to be a very early bird to nab a place there.

Recently taken over by Young's, the Old Ship doesn't yet appear to have changed that much - only one pump with Young's bitter in operation and a decidedly un-Young's Erdinger present amongst the gas-propelled brigade when we visited. And the clientele are exactly the same as before.

Food is heavily promoted - something the owners seem to be doing rather a lot of nowadays, it's also family-friendly, got a function room and has WiFi if you just can't stop Twittering.

The old Old Ship never really was our cup of tea (can you say that about a pub?) - the weekend hordes put paid to that - and in it's latest guise, we can't really see that opinion changing.
