About this space

The Top Deck Bar is a private bar in the pub The Ship that provides an intimate, compact upstairs layout suitable for small, self-contained gatherings.

Design: The Top Deck Bar has dark-stained timber panelling and a polished wooden counter. The back bar shows mirrored glass shelving, brass beer fittings and low filament pendant lights against patterned wallpaper.

Features: A fixed wooden bar counter houses multiple beer pumps, an underbar refrigerator and a full set of glassware. A service pass enables bar service from the room and guests may play their own music through the venue's system.

Ideal for: Small groups of friends or colleagues seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or an informal seated gathering.

What sets it apart: A dedicated darts board in the room provides an on-site game that suits relaxed, social hire.

What guests say: The Top Deck Bar presents a traditional, characterful atmosphere and provides quieter seating than the main bar. The space is supported by friendly, attentive staff.

Really nice venue with a great private space for us. Great value and really good that we could order Deliveroo there. Mikey behind the bar was the icing on the cake. He was great!

Thank you so much to Amber, Kelly, Beth and the whole team at the Ship for making my birthday celebration so wonderful. As a venue, they were so great to work with, quick to reply and give answers to all my many questions and were so friendly throughout the whole process (from booking to on the night). We had a group of 30, but the venue would have been perfect for between 20-40. I have told all my guests to book the Ship for their celebrations and would definitely come back in the future.

I honestly can't fault the venue at all, thank you so much for everything.
