The Ship is located in the centre of the village of Morton, situated in the parish of West Lindsey in Lincolnshire. Morton has a population of around 1,350, but it is very close to the larger market town of Gainsborough.

Morton boasts excellent transport links via the A631 to Gainsborough connecting to larger cities via the A1 and M18 and provides regular bus services between Morton and surrounding towns and villages making The Ship easily accessible for the locals.

Admiral Taverns are looking for a licensee with the skills and qualities needed to maximize this terrific opportunity including the desire and motivation to run a village local and to get involved in community events. Some catering experience would be desirable and there lies an opportunity to extend the food offer by driving the lunch time trade. The pub currently has a very good reputation in the area and is well supported by the local residents, however, someone who can really drive this pub forwards and encourage those from further afield would be an advantage.
