The Ship is a riverside pub at 41 Jews Row in Wandsworth, London, run by Young's. Organisers can book its private Boardroom for business meetings, team training days, team building, birthday parties and private dinners. The room holds 40 seated or 80 standing guests, and the terrace on the Thames can be part of the plan. Wandsworth Town station is a short walk away.
Seminars and company events
The pub sells its Boardroom as an alternative to a conventional meeting room. It can host a half-day or full-day boardroom meeting, a team training day or a team building event, with meeting packages available through the booking page. The room has Wi-Fi, outdoor access and a 60-inch flat screen that guests connect to by HDMI. Meeting essentials are supplied as required.
The room has glass doors that close fully. They can be seen through and do not block noise from the bar, so presentations that need silence should be planned with that in mind. The room has no sound system of its own, so music cannot be played from your own equipment, although guests can queue tracks through the Young's On Tap app. After the session, the team can move to the Riverside Terrace for a debrief with drinks.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages describe parties, dinners and celebrations, not a wedding offer. A past guest review mentions a wedding reception held in the restaurant, but wedding packages are not listed, so couples should ask the team directly.
Rooms and capacities
The Boardroom is the larger of the pub's two dining rooms and sits next to the restaurant. It seats 40 or holds 80 standing. Facilities include Wi-Fi, outdoor access and the screen. Other areas of the pub include the Public Bar, the Front Terrace, the Riverside Cabins, the Pergola and the Decking. The Decking under the Ship sign is kept for walk-ins all year and cannot be booked.
House rules matter for planning. External DJs are not allowed. Cakes are welcome if you tell the team in advance, and banners, bunting and balloons are fine if taken down at the end, with no glitter or confetti. The venue is 18 and over from 6 pm on Friday to Sunday, including bank holidays, while the dining room remains open to children at all times. The venue is step free and fully accessible, with an accessible toilet.
Catering
Catering is in-house. The team offers lunch, dinner or canapés and builds a bespoke package around the plan of the event. Food is served from 11 am to 10 pm Monday to Saturday.
History and setting
The Ship stands on the Thames in Wandsworth and is a riverside pub with a fire inside and terraces outside. Its calendar also includes live sport screenings, so busy match evenings should be avoided for quiet meetings.
Getting there
Wandsworth Town station is about a five-minute walk. Pay-and-display parking machines are available around the pub.
