The Ship pub in Chelmsford, Essex, has been one of the most popular pubs in Chelmsford for many years, due to it's great reputation, warm atmosphere, dedicated staff and excellent location. Situated just a stones throw from Chelmsford Railway Station and Chelmsford Bus Station and with ample parking at the rear, The Ship is a great meeting point for both locals and those from farther afield. These combined factors have made The Ship a desired destination for many years and because of this it has always had a thriving and lively atmosphere. As a venue to meet and greet The Ship is one of the best pubs in Chelmsford.

The Ship offers some excellent pub grub including daily specials.

Along with great gourmet regulars like the legendary 'Golden Hind Burger' there are always some delicious daily specials on the boards. Whilst enjoying your food there is also a wide selection of beers and  spirits as well as Real Ales courtesy of Ridley's Brewery.

Along with accommodation (call us for our best rates), a variety of regular events including quiz nights, music and food theme party nights, there is always something in The Ship to provide you with that excuse to come back again!!

Inside the Ship, the decor follows a strong nautical theme, with dark brown panelling, portholes, masts, rope & rigging and plenty of oceangoing curiosities on display. During the Summer months the seating at the front of the pub provides a great place to eat al fresco and during the Winter months fires keep the venue nice and snug.

Whether you want an excellent Chelmsford pub, private party, accommodation, food or just a great place to catch up with old friends (or make new ones) The Ship has everything a thriving town pub should offer.
