The Ship Inn at Levington

At The Ship Inn, Levington, the whole team prides itself in looking after this very 'English' village Inn, nestling not far from the Orwell Estuary, Suffolk marshes and the beautiful Suffolk coastline.

This historic 13th Century pub combines all the atmosphere of a traditional pub with great real ales, exciting wines and ever-changing lunch and evening menus which incorporate a modern style British cuisine that does not veer off into the unknown, has its roots in a great, recognizable dish but still exhibits our renowned twist on those popular classics. All our dishes are prepared using local ingredients where possible and subject to chef’s acclaimed, individual style.

The philosophy behind our food is really quite simple: produce traditional classics, with our own ‘Ship Inn’ twist, that pay homage to the ingredients and are bursting with flavour. Having said that, we are not afraid to add a little bite to our dishes… Our culinary roots may be in British food and produce but we will, on occasion, add a little fresh coriander to our soups, a few chillis to our shrimps and some very good French wine to our sauces. As with all dishes at The Ship Inn, our desserts are made in house and are a special treat. Elaine, the Ship Inn’s very own pastry chef, has a very loyal and deserved following for producing some of the finest desserts in the area. It is always advised to leave a little space to try out Elaine’s handiwork.

Our wines are exclusively supplied by Bibendum wines and our wine consultant is no less than Willy Lebus, not only one of London’s leading wine gurus but also a local Suffolk lad himself. Willy was given clear instruction that The Ship wanted an exciting, varied and most definitely affordable wine list and it’s our opinion that he has achieved that in spades.

The Ship Inn, at Levington, Suffolk, is also proud to be able to offer a range of real ales from the barrel along with a selection of modern cask beers and fine wines.

Our beers are properly cellared and conditioned.The Ship's range of wines is impressive and sold either by the bottle or by the glass.

In the summer the benches outside are in great demand, the views are wonderful.

In the winter (and if it's really chilly) the log fires rage inside and the heaters heat outside.
