The Ship Inn is a Grade II listed public house in Aldborough, North Yorkshire, England.[1][2]

Between 2008 and November 2024, the pub was owned by Brian Rey and Elaine Howden,[3][4] who came to prominence after Gordon Ramsay visited their previous pub, the Fenwick Arms, in Claughton, Lancashire, in a 2006 episode of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.[5]

Princes William and Harry dined at the Ship Inn in January 2011.[3]

The building was damaged by fire in 2021.[4][6] It gained new owners in 2025.[7]
