Soak up our friendly service and homely charm when nestled in this welcoming pub located in the heart of Stanpit village on Dorset’s south coast. Here at the Ship in Distress, we are the perfect retreat to sit back, relax and indulge in our delicious food with the perfect drink in hand.
We love our coastal location and our bar pays tribute to this with a fittingly traditional nautical theme! Dogs are welcome and we’ve got a large car park for visitors and plenty of seating space.
We’re proud to offer a menu packed with the most appetising dishes. Our passion for taking traditional pub classics and making them the best around by using the most decadent of ingredients, makes every meal served have you coming back time and time again!
There’s nothing quite like the great British pub when it comes to food, and that’s what we’re all about. A place where proper pub classics meet indulgent flavours, and irresistible bar snacks pair perfectly with our drinks.
With traditional family favourites, small plates to keep the little ones happy and generous sharers to enjoy between friends, our menus are bursting with flavour and promises to satisfy any craving.
Our bar is fully stocked with the best selection of your favourite drinks! From world lagers to spirits, wines to cocktails and every tipple in-between.
Join us for a fleeting cocktail with a friend, a quiet pint at the bar, or celebrate the big occasion and start your weekend with high spirits. No matter what you fancy, we’ll have something to tickle your tastebuds every time.
We’re just a few minutes’ walk from Christchurch Harbour, famous for its fishing, walking and bird watching (Christchurch Harbour Ornithological Group has recored over 320 bird species at the harbour and it’s home to three sailing clubs!).
At its Northwest corner two rivers flow into the harbour the river Avon and the Stour and is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI).
The Ship in Distress is located on Stanpit road in the heart of Stanpit village, Christchurch.
Whether you’ve been exploring the local area or just wanting a pub outing – we’ll see you soon.
