The Ship and Whale is a traditional local pub at 2 Gulliver Street in Rotherhithe. Its comfortable dining room and neighbourhood atmosphere provide a relaxed setting for lunch, dinner and drinks away from the busiest central London streets. The food menu combines familiar British pub favourites with grilled dishes, salads and a few broader international influences.
Starters include homemade soup, garlic bread, Mediterranean olives, chicken wings and chicken liver pâté. Greek style, grilled chicken and halloumi salads provide fresher alternatives and can also work as lighter meals. These opening dishes move between simple bar snacks and more substantial plates suited to sharing around the table.
Homemade burgers can be built around beef, chicken, Cajun chicken or a grilled vegetable stack, with a wide choice of cheeses and other toppings. Sausage and mash, beer battered haddock with chips, spiced half chicken, ribs, sirloin steak and Moroccan lamb tagine broaden the main selection. Vegan sausages, chickpea tagine and a vegetable burger make the choice more inclusive.
Sunday roasts arrive with roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, cabbage, Yorkshire pudding and homemade gravy, with meat and vegetarian options available. Cheesecake, fruit crumble, chocolate brownie, sticky toffee pudding and British cheese complete a longer meal. Beer, wine and soft drinks support both casual visits and generous pub dinners in this longstanding Rotherhithe setting.
