Absolutely amazing. Service was brilliant. Food was out of this world. We really enjoyed from the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the 2nd date night we have managed this year. Would certainly recommend to anyone. Friendly staff, good beer selection, superb menu and great value for money.

We popped in on the off chance as hadn’t done our homework as regards how good the reviews were and we were delighted to find this gem. The fact that food was available throughout the day was so good when you are on holiday and eat at different times due to being active and out of routine .The staff were amazing . Hubby was delighted at the local beer actually served at the right temperature . Our grandson loved the fat chips . We all loved the food we chose . In fact so much so that we returned another day. Highly recommend . I had the Persian inspired lamb shank the first time and pork tenderloin with apple , bacon , rosemary and pecan stuffing. Very tasty

My wife and I had a lovely meal here. We were looking for somewhere dog friendly and were fortunate enough to stumble on The Ship Aground where they allow dogs in the bar. They fit us in without a booking, despite being quite busy, the food was great and the staff were all very friendly and attentive. The price was also very reasonable considering how nice the food was. Would highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area. We will definitely be coming back when we are next down this way.

Wonderful food, excellent service. I have lived in New Zealand for 18 years and the one thing I have missed the most is a decent pub and Sunday roast. The 'Ship Aground' exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend 👌

Will definitely be back. So pleased to see a really busy local pub enjoyed by the locals. The landlord, who also checked with us regularly to make sure things were ok, should be congratulated for running such a fabulous establishment. Well done to him and all his staff 👏👏

Be prepared to book ahead if you want to eat in the restaurant, as it is extremely popular. Lots of covered outdoor seating though, ideal for al fresco dining and/or drinking. Dogs are allowed in the bar area and in the beer garden (ours can't go past without dragging us in). The food and service are exceptional and the staff are lovely - friendly and professional.

Overall this place was... fine. We mostly went for the food - which was okay. We went on what appeared to be a very busy day. We ordered at 6pm. We were told half hour wait on food but didn't get served until just after 7pm. We mentioned that some of the chips were missing and were told it was just coming. 35 minutes later, when everyone had finished eating, I had to go back inside to find out where the chips were - when they were handed to me immediately. The food was mostly okay and tasty enough but very small portion sizes for the cost. The waiting service was poor, sadly. Though I did feel sorry for the waitress as she seemed stressed and not that happy. The bar did seem to also be running out of non alcoholic options. No non alcoholic cider which we were told they usually have, and they ran out of J2O too but that's fine - just a bit disappointing for the designated driver! Overall, I imagine on a quiet day, it's a fairly nice place. But our experience was that the service really let this establishment down, especially given that restaurant prices are being charged for fairly standard pub food.

We have alway enjoyed coming to the ship aground while we are on holiday but this year was such a disappointment. We came on Saturday 27th July and we had to wait 1 and a half hours for our food to arrive. Once it came it was lovely but it would have been good if someone had warned us about the long wait for food. The waitress was lovely and was obviously taking the flack from some costumers. Poor girl it wasn’t her fault. We will return as we are hoping this was just a one off and we ve always loved our nights out here.

Seemed an average pub, three cask ales so a choice but all very similar ABV and type, Listed as a gastro pub but didn't try the food. The other two pubs in the village were closed so couldn't make a comparison

We booked this restaurant for an anniversary meal and the pub, food and staff were amazing throughout. We spoke to the owner, a chef by trade who designs the menu, he explained all of the dishes and food etc. The service was impeccable and the food was served in very generous portions. When the food arrived it was presented so well and tasted amazing. The steak was one of the best one of our party had ever eaten and the cheesecakes were to die for. The staff made us feel so welcome, the atmosphere in the pub was perfect, with the lighting and music set just right. The staff were extremely friendly and would I visit here again? - Absolutely! Thank you The Ship Aground for a wonderful evening

As locals, we like to come and enjoy the pub but for the last 4 times, they’ve either stopped serving food or they’re too busy trying a new menu in the main restaurant. The most latest incident was us being handed a menu and being told food is still being served and then going u to the bar 5 minute later to be told they’d stopped serving. We really like the food in the pub, but we’ve decided not to return which is a shame because it’s the locals in the winter months that keeps these establishments going.

If you’re planning on booking here with a large group don’t even bother. I’ve attended 2 birthday meals here in the past couple of weeks and it was an absolute shambles. The first time was horrid, we waited over an hour for our food and then they kicked us off the table after 2 hours because our ‘time was up’ even though it was entirely their own fault. The second time our server was insanely rude, we felt incredibly rushed and she kept hovering by with her notebook making snide comments. We felt very unwelcome and it completely ruined my grandads birthday meal as it put everyone in a bad mood. The food is decent but over priced and nothing special that you can’t get elsewhere. They were also under prepared and were out of stock on most of the drinks, my nan had one glass of rose and then they ran out 🙄

Popped in here on a Thursday, late afternoon and the place was busy. However the lovely team squeezed us in and we are so glad they did. What a choice if menus from pub grub, to diner, to a delicious selection of specials. What a choice for vegans, meat eaters or fish eaters. We opted for burgers and chose the pulled pork option. We weren't disappointed, the portions were a good size, the food hot, freshly cooked and served on hot plates. The drinks were good too. The place is spotless, the staff can't do enough for you and they are dog friendly in the garden and bar too.

A group of 8 of us went for a meal last night and ate from the Christmas menu. Starter: baked camembert, Main: turkey with veg & gravy, Dessert: cheesecake. I have never been to the pub before and can say I would definitely return. The food was absolutely delicious and we all throughly enjoyed every mouthful!! The staff were really friendly and attentive without being obtrusive. There were no delays/long waits being served the drinks or food courses. The table setting was nice and you didn’t feel crowded by other people there. There was a lovely atmosphere and no loud music which meant we were able to have conversations easily with one another. I was impressed with the whole evening and would definitely return 👍🏻

We were so surprised at the quality of food like a gastro pub and fresh fish was absolutely delicious, with olive tapenade and samphire! My husband had battered cod and my son, the chicken burger, that was no ordinary one! Thoroughly, enjoyed our meal and atmosphere, the dogs were with us , so sat in the bar and couldn’t recommend enough. Landlord only recently, there and a chef, you can tell! Thanks for a lovely meal.
