Description

One of the most authentic British pubs in Orange County, the Olde Ship sports a distinctly European atmosphere with a full menu of classic dishes including bread pudding and the best bangers and mash you'll have this side of the pond. With an interior that looks, in fact, like the inside of an old galleon and a bartender with an authentic Irish accent, this establishment is a favorite haunt for British expats and Anglophiles alike. If you're counting on grabbing dinner at this place on a Saturday night, arrive early because patrons are literally flowing out the door by seven bells. During World Cup fever, you can count on the doors being open bright and early for the morning games!

And by British food, we mean the kind with a 2-inch coffee-colored head that froths and settles in your glass and has a name like Boddington's, Fuller's London Pride, Newcastle, Bass or Guinness. Besides beer, the Olde Ship has several wide-... More »
