In 1869-70 the pub was part of a consortium who were advertising their
goods of selling tea in response to grocers' selling beer and wine. (Click

PUB HISTORY
The original pub building was a Baker's shop built in 1642 with a
Blacksmiths alongside. This was owned by a Stephen Blaxland and in 1802
he successfully applied for an alehouse license and called that part of
the building The Ship. The other half continued as a Bakery until 1831
when Sarah Beacon, a widow who had inherited The Ship bought out the
Bakery and was granted a full license for the house. Her son William
took over in 1853 and changed the name to The Ship Endeavour and the pub
traded under that name until 1876. In that year he sold it to a
Canterbury brewer called George Beer of the Star Brewery in Broad
Street, who changed the name back to The Ship.
|
The pub changed name some time before 2006 to the "Ship and Smugglers"
only to revert back to the "Ship" again after 2006.

Former Rainham restaurant boss takes over the helm at the Ship Inn in Conyer.
A well-known former Towns’ restaurant boss has taken over a
business in neighbouring Swale.
Damon Dalmedo ran The Barn in Lower Rainham for 15 years.
He is now revamping the Ship Inn by the creek at Conyer, a hamlet
between Faversham and Sittingbourne.
New Ship "skipper" Damon Dalmedo.
After leaving the 17th century Barn, Damon took time out with his
family and did some freelance work.
He said: “It is a new venture its a complete new concept of food and
service, it is contemporary dining, I’m really excited.”
The 44-year-old was called on to help out at the 18th century Ship
by his ex-restaurant manager.
The dad put his culinary skills to good use in the kitchen and was
then asked to take over the pub by owner Simon Smedley.
He will be assisted by fellow chef Barry Coppins, who served his
apprenticeship at the pub, gained further experience elsewhere and
has now returned.
Damon will also have help from his wife Sarah and has brought in his
accountant Paul Coleman as a partner.
“With his accountancy brain and my experience in the industry we are
a really good marriage,” he says.
“We haven’t got any rules and regulations.
"It is down to the public. It is a case of giving people what they
want.
“We will have a varied menu. The classic will stay on the board.
There will be a seasonal menu which we will change on a week to week
basis. I am eternally grateful for this opportunity at The Ship. I
think I have one more in me!” |
I am informed that as of May 2021 the premises is being renovated and
awaiting a new name above the door, so to speak.
