This is me with the ‘Tenbury in Bloom’ Cup we have won for the last two years. We also won 1st prize for our beautiful garden, part of which you can see in the photo to the left.
Welcome to the Ship Inn website.
I’m Michael Hoar and I have owned and run The Ship for the last 23 years.
As a lot of you will probably know, Tenbury Wells was very badly flooded. Due to this, the Ship has been closed now for nearly three months. However I am glad to tell you that we re-opened on the 18th October, with a very new look. We would like to thank all our customers who have been calling in and offering their support, our many tradesmen, and all our staff who have all been working so hard. We are looking forward to welcoming all our customers back to the Ship very soon!
The Ship is a relaxed Country Town Inn, which still maintains a strong local trade. Our emphasis is on good friendly service, excellent food, wines and beers, and beautifully decorated en suite accommodation.
The Ship lies in the beautiful Teme Valley, on the border of Worcestershire and Shropshire in the small market town of Tenbury Wells.
Lying equidistant between Birmingham, Worcester, Hereford, the Black Country and the Welsh borders and just fifteen minutes away from the historic town of Ludlow, Tenbury makes an ideal place for a short or longer break.

Lying just up from Teme Bridge, the Ship dates back to the 16th Century.
It is an oak timber framed building with a later Georgian front and was primarily used by locals and visitors to stable their horses and traps, when they came to town for the day.
The town itself is a mixture of Elizabethan, Georgian and Victorian architecture. In 1839 mineral springs were discovered and this resulted in Tenbury becoming a ‘spa town’.
The recently restored pump rooms were built in 1839, and became a fashionable place to come and take the waters. Queen Victoria used to visit the town and stay in what used to be the Swan hotel.
The rumour goes that she named Tenbury ‘her town in the orchard’, as it used to be surrounded by orchards full of cherry, apple and pear trees.
Many of these remain today along with the old hop fields.
Come and visit us soon, we will make you very welcome!
