Having heard that it has been recently refurbished, I headed down to The Old Ship in Hackney to check it out. My partner and I went, not expecting too much, but it has definitely lived up to my expectations, and more.

The food, for starters, is excellent. All of it is sourced from around the Uk and it is traditional British food, done very well. I had the goat's cheese salad and mutton and my partner had the roll mop herrings and venison burger - all of which were quite generous portions.

The staff are down-to-earth and friendly and very happy to recommend what to order, without getting in the way of actually enjoying your dinner. Our waitress was just the right mix of friendly, attentive and professional which really helped as I find the problem with most restaurants is sloppy service.

All up, I will definitely be coming back here again and recommending it to my friends. Good place to go for a drink as well as its right next to Hackney Empire. ]]> Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:55:55 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1q03i8b/the-old-ship/1s17j82113592801 ChloeBuxton 51.545663 -0.056114
