The Ship, Roose in Barrow in Furness

Ah, The Ship in Roose – what a delightful little spot it is, tucked away on the edge of Barrow-in-Furness. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with that warm, inviting feel that just puts you at ease, especially with the friendly staff who seem to know just how to make your visit memorable. I love how they've got a cracking selection of Robinsons beers on tap, and the food really steals the show – think tasty pub grub like those homemade pies on Mondays or a traditional Sunday roast that's as comforting as a chat with old mates. It's brilliant for families or if you're out with the dog, and the beer garden is perfect for soaking up the sun or enjoying a quiz night that gets everyone laughing. On the flip side, it does open a bit later on some days, so if you're an early riser wanting a quick pint, you might find yourself waiting around. And being out in the sticks, it's not the easiest to pop to on a whim, but once you're there, it's well worth it for the atmosphere and that homely touch. All in all, it's a gem of a pub that does the classics right, and I'd say it's ideal for anyone after a good meal and a proper natter without any fuss.
