The Ship At Upavon is a traditional English pub dating back to the 16th Century. It has a thatched roof, low beams (remember to duck!) and an open log fire in winter. Our lovely beer garden is perfect for catching up with friends. Our food is fresh and our ales are local. We give a warm and friendly welcome to all our customers – from our faithful regulars who have their preferred time slot and drinks order, to visitors passing through, to those who pop in on occasions to catch up on village gossip or while away an hour or two. The Ship is truly a place where “everybody knows your name”.

We are open all day, Wednesday – Sunday and Bank Holiday Mondays. We are also open on Tuesdays from 4-9pm for drinks only (except when there’s been a bank holiday Monday when we close on Tuesdays). In winter, you can huddle by the open log fire. In summer, you can catch the evening sun’s balmy rays that heat up the picnic tables at the front of the pub. Or hide away in our enclosed beer garden where the only sounds are birdsong and the hourly peals from St Mary’s church bells next door. Dogs and muddy boots are welcome inside and outside.

You can barely throw a stone in Wiltshire without hitting one of the incredible breweries we are lucky to have in the area. We serve an ever-changing selection of local real ales from breweries such as Stonehenge Ales and Plain Ales.

We also serve Butcombe Original and Butcombe Gold – a village favourite – from further down the road in Somerset.
