We are very excited to be re-opening The Ship - albeit in a new found way!
The Ship is too small to open its inside space safely for both customers & staff, however we will be operating an efficient Ship Inn style carry out service through newly refurbed windows!!!! We are excited to have unfurloughed some of our lovely staff, the brewer is brewing, the coffee machine grinding and the kitchen full steam ahead! We look forward to seeing you all.
We have installed outside a lovely knee operated hand wash basin, automatic hand sanitizer, operating a metre plus policy with every ones health and safety very much at the forefront of our planning.
We are regrettably unable to allow customers to use our loos, however, the public loos behind the pub are open with a stringent cleaning schedule by the council.
The car park at the top of the hill is open, the ticket machine taking coins only....unfortunately we are not able to help with change as we are card payment only now - sorry.

Tuesday 28th April 2020!!!! Plans for the future of The Ship Inn ....
Our plans for the future when the lockdown restrictions ease:-
Our thinking at the moment is that we will not be able to open The Ship Inn in its old form for quite a few months,
however...do not despair! We will be selling our lovely beer and our lovely food from takeaway windows...served by our lovely staff!
We are extremely conscious of our responsibility to do this in a safe and secure way both for our customers and for ourselves. To this end we intend to serve food all day from 11a.m to 7.00pm, hopefully this will very much reduce numbers of customers queuing. Obviously the queue will be expected to observe social distance...anyone who finds this an irksome ask will politely be asked to leave! We will be using two windows....one for ordering and the other for collecting the order. This way we can regulate the flow of customers waiting. We will be serving our food in biodegradable disposable containers and our beer in plastic glasses....or bring your own glasses and we can sell you our beer in takeaway containers to pour into your own glass!
We are looking at the possibility of having a hand washing station at the front of the pub...but will of course have plenty of hand sanitizer around.
With your help, support and cooperation we can make this work! It will be different but it will work! watch this space for updates....timescales etc...!
Best wishes from us all at The Ship Tuesday 28th April 2020!!!!

Our home page from long before the virus hit, but still just as relevant!!!
I first came to Low Newton and The Ship Inn in May 1999. I wanted to move away from Hertfordshire where I had lived for the last thirty years. I needed to earn a living and I had heard that there was a pub for sale in a village by the sea. I had done various jobs in my life and run my own business, but the one business I knew I didn’t want to run was a pub! However - I came, I saw and Low Newton conquered!!
Not for me the sensible option of coming up to stay for a week, to watch the pub in operation to see if I could cope with the whole business of running a pub, of meeting the locals and seeing if they would welcome this woman from the south. Oh no.
So six weeks later I arrived, complete with an enormous furniture van, three cats, two dogs and my youngest daughter Hannah who had just finished university and had decided to spend eighteen months with me running the pub.
The rest is, as they say, history. 21 years on the pub is still receiving the t.l.c it needs; I have learned to clean lines, order beer, call time - or not as case might be - pull pints and have good craic. I have totally renovated the upstairs and have a wonderful house to live in. Hannah is again running the pub with me, having taken time out to travel, teach, marry and have children: we have a growing reputation for local food, good coffee and live music and are self sufficient in well regarded real ale from our own micro brewery.
The sea and landscape continues to delight. To stand on the beach on a moonlight night and hear the seals calling from the rocks, to watch the path of the moon on the sea and see the fingers of Dunstanburgh castle stand black against the sky or to watch the sun rise over the sea on a glorious summer morning - these are the things that make Low Newton the very special and unique place it is. And make people return time and again.
