Stopped in at Ship and Royal for a last pint on our way back to the B&B after attending a Rugby World Cup match in Newcastle. We weren 't looking for a dance club so glad we saw it. Very nice young lady at the bar, served our favorite UK beer...we were happy. When the manager came to take our glasses after last call, we said thank you very much...and as he walked away, he realized we didn 't have the local accent. He turned back and said Americans? We nodded. What are you doing here? was the next sentence. Thus we got a chance to have a nice conversation about Seattle, Washington and South Shields. Sadly this was our only chance to visit the Ship and Royal but we absolutely will if we ever p...
Ate here at lunchtime, we had the 2 for £9, very good value. I had the gammon which was very tasty cooked beautifully plus they serve real chips, mother had the all day breakfast, which the sausages were too much cooked for her, but that 's her taste. She informed me that it was a good pot of tea although the coffee machine was broken, as the lady who took my order told me, the instant coffee that she made me was very nice. Very pleasant staff, overall very nice lunch, well done Ship Royal.
Decent pub, nice food at sensible price but every day there is a lot of people at the bar (not helped by locals clogging service up by drinking at the bar) and never enough staff to get served quickly, even on a week day lunchtime. Not going back.......loads of alternatives pubs where you have enough staff to look after you, but if owners just bothered to have another member of staff over lunchtimes they wouldn't lose custom by people walking out.
I have personally been visiting the ship and royal for the past few years on and off. Recent changes have only made the pub better for me and friends on terms of recent music and fantastic atmosphere. Although never having visited with family I would have to say this is one of the most family friendly places in South Shields. Cheap pints, great staff, clean pub, what more of a reason do you need to visit! Thoroughly recommended, 5*.

My self and my partner wanted to find somewhere to watch the semi final of the darts. We had the best seats in the house. The young bar lad was amazing. He had some of the best customer service skills ever. He must have only been about 19 and he was great with us oldies. He smiled alot and had a laugh with us because we thought in comparison to Edinburgh the prices were excellent. Well done.
The staff is friendly and the manager is helpful, creating a great atmosphere in this friendly bar located in the center of South Shields. There is great music and DJs on weekends and they stay open late. I would recommend this place to my friends because of the affordable prices and welcoming staff.
First visit to the restaurant and i liked the lovey relaxed atmosphere. I was a served within minutes and food arrived not long after. Excellent food, tasty and fresh most importantly. The staff were pleasant and really couldn't complain about value for money! Great all rounder
its ok nothing special, just a standard pub. Abit run down could do with some updating and quite expensive for food compared to the rest of the bars and pubs in town.
