Ship & Crown

Ship & Crown combines a traditional pub, a relaxed bar and a top-floor dining room within a historic building on Guernsey’s North Esplanade. The ground floor has the character of a proper pub, with bar snacks and a broad drinks selection that includes cask ales, lagers and craft beers. Locally produced choices include Liberation Brewery beers and Rocquette’s cider.

The second-floor bar offers a quieter setting for drinks, with premium spirits, wines and a considered range of beers. It provides a more classic and informal alternative to the pub below, making the venue suitable for different parts of an evening, from a casual drink to a longer social visit.

At the top of the building, the Top Deck provides the venue’s main dining setting. The room has a contemporary style and looks towards the island of Herm, giving meals and drinks a strong coastal context. The food is presented as pub dining rather than a specialist cuisine, with the menu complemented by the venue’s beer, cider, wine and spirits selection.

Ship & Crown suits visitors looking for an adaptable place in St Peter Port, whether the occasion calls for a traditional pub atmosphere, a quieter drink upstairs or a meal with an elevated outlook. The different floors create distinct moods while keeping the venue connected to its maritime setting and North Esplanade location.

The Top Deck is the part most suited to a planned meal, and reservations are recommended for that dining area. The ground-floor pub is a natural choice for drinks and bar snacks, while the upper bars provide room for a more relaxed pace. The combination of pub character, contemporary dining and views towards Herm gives Ship & Crown a broad appeal without losing its traditional identity.
