About Ship Inn

Recently relaunched under a new management team, The Ship Inn at Caton is an historic village inn dating back 400 years to the start of the seventeenth century. It’s long been a haven for weary travellers heading up the Lune Valley from Lancaster and is part of the Forest of Bowland AONB. There’s a renewed focus on food here with the new kitchen team serving lunch and dinner seven days a week. Choices range from traditional pub classics to more adventurous fare based firmly around locally sourced produce. Sunday Lunch is very popular with a choice of meats available. The Ship is also a community hub with regular music events and a quiz night.

The service was good but the food was terrible. All the bread had been microwaved so was rock hard and inedible (on my son’s burger and our garlic bread). I had the trimmed chicken and it was so salty it was disgusting. I felt sick afterwards and was actually sick when I got home.

We visited the ship inn for our 20th wedding day. We enjoyed a very friendly service and delicious food. In my opinion for the money you get plenty of food and I was really full after the greek salad I decided. My husband enjoyed the fettucini and after that a really rich cheesecake. The waiter went into the kitchen immediately to aks about the flavour of the todays cheesecake. Thank you very much for the nice experience.

Fabulous food. I had a wonderful gluten free fish and chips, batter was as light as a feather thankyou. Hubby had an amazing burger. Huge portions of chips which we just couldn't finish. Really lovely staff. Hats off to the chefs.

We loved our main courses and they were very helpful with personal preferences. For some reason we were not offered the dessert menu or coffees but as we were pretty full it wasn't a problem. If we had felt hungry enough then we would have asked for one but it was quite noticeable that it didn't happen so it's just FYI really and not a complaint. Will definitely return to try something else on the menu!

Decent food, unfortunately the service was disappointing. The initial greeter was great, but the next waitress (think she was fairly new but should have been trained properly?) didn't ask how I wanted my steak cooked, didn't ask if I wanted a sauce with it, and when we asked a couple of questions about the desserts, asked us if we wanted her to go and find out! I also had to go and find someone when we wanted to order the desserts as no one came after we had finished our main meals. As stated, the food was really nice but the lack of attentiveness in the waiting on let the place down.

Ok food.Sunday dinner poor selection of veg trimmings. We had high expectations due to the quote on website re master chef professional chef. Pub in need of an update. Toilets poor decor and a proper clean. Friendly staff but did have to ask for them to collect our plates and for the dessert menu. Over priced meal. We were left slightly disappointed.

First time we have been here for a wile, staff were very helpful and soon took our order. The meal was OK apart from the roast beef had a lot of fat on it making a lot of waste which was unfortunate as the rest of the meal was good.

Steak night with a bottle of wine for his birthday… well yes please! Great service, choice of steaks and sauces and a lovely bottle of house red to accompany the meal. All for £40 and gorgeous melt in the mouth steak. Could’ve done with some onion rings, but our server asked chef who assured us that’s getting added to the sides listings. We’re local but previous tasty food here felt like the best option when it coincided with the birthday too. New manager who made a point of introducing herself to us, nice touch! We’ll defo be going back.
