Friday 3rd to Monday 6th April
Join us this Easter Sunday to celebrate the long weekend with family and friends. Our perfectly cooked roasts alongside your favourite classics (and our Easter special mini egg chocolate pot) feature on our three-course menu for the special occasion.

MAY BANK HOLIDAYS
Celebrate the bank holidays the way they’re meant to be enjoyed- with family and friends, summer dishes and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer. With all your favourite tipples behind the bar too, we can’t wait to cheers to the long weekend with you (with a pint in hand).
WELCOME TO THE SHIP
A charming village pub nestled in the heart of West Hanningfield on the unspoiled greenbelt of the Essex city, Chelmsford.
This soul-soothing, local pub offers a fresh, seasonal menu coupled with local craft beverages, all of which can be enjoyed in our vintage, east-coast setting.
Our alfresco lawn is the perfect oasis for any passing visitor or returning local. Take in the panoramic views of the rolling hills or stay warm by our log burner snuggled inside. Both are perfect watching the world pass by with a drink in hand.
A PROPER VILLAGE PUB
Located on the outskirts of Chelmsford, between Stock village and Galleyend, The Ship provides a cosy respite after exploring the surrounding landscape or having fun with the family along the coast. With the hustle & bustle of a vibrant village and the Essex coast just under an hour away, we are a welcome haven for a quality, British pit-stop.
GARDEN HAVEN
Serene spots are a plenty at The Ship. Indulge in our menu and cocktails on our sun-trapped lawn or explore our wine list street side as the world passes by. All decorated with rustic timber planters and wild greenery, you’ll feel encompassed in all you need to relax.
