A warm welcome to the Ship Inn, Highley
“What a gem! The Ship Inn in Highley is a charming riverside pub full of character and genuine British pub spirit..!”
A Local Favourite for Over Two Centuries

We’re proud to carry on the tradition of great British hospitality, serving honest food that tastes just as it should — fresh, generous, and full of flavour.
