ESTABLISHED IN RYE 1592
Welcome to The Ship Inn
Located in the heart of the historic East Sussex town of Rye, The Ship dates back to 1592. Originally built as a warehouse to store contraband seized from smugglers, it has certainly had a colourful past, which only adds to the pub’s charm.
Today you’ll find a quintessentially English country inn bursting with character. From hearty breakfasts and splendid Sunday roasts to seafood platters and a wonderful selection of wines, The Ship is an idyllic spot for a family lunch or a catch up with friends.
Don’t want to leave? Stay the night in one of our 10 boutique bedrooms and suites. The perfect home-from-home for the night or an extended weekend getaway.
Families and dogs are both welcomed at The Ship.
