The pub is actually in two entirely separate halves, one on each side of an alleyway, with a smaller bar in the southern half. However, this side has a bookable upstairs room (the Crows Nest) for up to 35 people. Alternatively, you can book one entire half (the smaller half) of the pub. When not booked, the Crows Nest is usually quieter, though this half of the pub tends not to be opened until around 5:30pm.
 <b>Note:</b> The Ship and Shovell was temporarily closed in early 2012 "due to collapsed water pipes"; as of May 2012, [http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/55874/ Pubs Galore reports] that it has now reopened.

Pumps visible on previous visits included Tanglefoot, Badger, Fursty Ferret, and King & Barnes Sussex Bitter (more or less unchanged in visits from 2008 onwards). They also do the seasonal ales, so in November 2008 they had a very tasty Pickled Partridge. The bar in the southern half has less of a range, but still has four handpulls for ale. [[bob]] sometimes finds the beer here to be a bit disappointing; it's just not as good as it really should be. Though I suppose I've only ever been there before noon, so perhaps we always get stale beer.

"Traditional British food" is served noon-3:30pm Monday to Friday, and noon-4pm Saturday. Sandwiches (e.g. mature cheddar and tomato chutney, or garlic chicken) are &pound;4, chips are &pound;2, olives are &pound;1.75, snacks (e.g. tempura battered vegetables) are around &pound;3-4, and mains are between &pound;6.25 (caesar salad) and &pound;8 (e.g. beef lasagne, or brie and broccoli bake). The steak and ale pie (&pound;8) is described as being encased in short crust pastry, i.e. it's not faux pie.

[[Ewan]] tried a scotch egg on a 2014 visit, which was perfectly decent and served in a little tray with mustard.
