This cherished waterfront pub is showing off a fresh new look after a four week refurbishment.
The Ship Inn, at The Quay in Lymington, has revealed a makeover which promises to charm locals and visitors to the New Forest.
Every corner of the pub has been thoughtfully reimagined, from the stylishly restored bar to plush seating, a rejuvenated flexi dining area and a refreshed outside decking area with stunning harbour views.

Regulars and new customers are now returning to enjoy the sharing roast experience for two, two for £16 cocktails and delicious new menus.
The refurbishment has created six new roles, front of house and kitchen staff employed by the Premium Country Pub Collection.
General manager Trevor Oliver said: “We’re delighted to welcome both familiar faces and first-time visitors to the beautifully refreshed Ship Inn. We’re incredibly proud of our new look.
“Lymington has always drawn visitors for its stunning views and now the pub truly reflects this. We’re a place where guests can soak up the scenery while enjoying the warm, welcoming atmosphere of The Ship Inn. We’re excited to welcome both locals and tourists through our doors.”
The striking new bar area is ideal for a leisurely drink after a scenic walk around Lymington Harbour or the coastal path and the beautiful outdoor area will be perfect for al fresco dining this summer. The Ship Inn also offers a semi-private dining area for family occasions or corporate events.
The pub's menu celebrates the best of British pub dining. Guests can enjoy indulgent favourites such as Pan-Roasted Lamb Rump, Asparagus & Squash Orzo and Tarragon-Battered Line-Caught Haddock with thick-cut chips.
For those seeking something special, the freshly chargrilled steaks - like 7oz Fillet and 10oz Rib Eye steak - are cooked to perfection and served with rustic thick cut chips.
Decadent desserts include Home-Baked Chocolate Brownie, Timperley Rhubarb & Apple Crumble, and the classic Tiramisu.
The fixed-price Weeknight Escape menu Monday to Thursday has two courses from £22.95. There's also a set lunch menu Monday to Friday from 12pm-5pm with two courses starting from £21.95.
Click and collect is available on all dishes so pub food can be enjoyed on boats in the harbour.
