The staff is friendly and committed throughout! 👌 The room is very spacious. Of course it's getting old, but that's part of the charm. The room is a bit too cool, the heating doesn't turn on. You could certainly ask. The food in the pub was good average. Compared to many other similar pubs, the portion is a bit too small. All in all: a good recommendation. 😄🤙

Absolutely outstanding. To round off possibly the best fish and chips we've ever had (cooked perfectly, not too oily, not too dry) the very kind staff found and saved a story our son had written and left behind, then kept it safe for us until we came back. Plenty of board games, good for families and dog friendly. Great spot at the top of the harbour too.

Typically English pub facing the fishing port. A great place in good weather to admire Minehead Bay. Classic pub meal with choice of burgers and other dishes to share or not. Good choice of beers. Only problem is the service. First we pay before having lunch. This is the first time I've seen this except at MC Do. Then we go get our beer at the counter and bring it to ourselves on the terrace. Meanwhile the waitresses and waiters are going around in circles in the pub!!

Missed out on the food but the beer was good my partner said. I'm on crutches so found it difficult to take drinks outside and was offered no assistance and my partner had to go in for it ( we have a dog, so he was outside with her). It started raining so the young lad did come outside to put all the table umbrellas up. Would like to go back for food at some point as the menu looked good.

My sister-in-law and I booked a room It was very clean spacious apart from the bathroom Which was very small . The TV was on the wall Straight in front of the door, but you couldn’t watch it because you couldn’t see the screen. There is a door with a unit in front of it which somebody pushed opened, frightened us both think there should be a lock put on quite frightening apart from that good stay breakfast excellent

Wouldn't recommend and won't be coming back. The service was poor, verging on rude at points. When a member of staff didn't know the answer about an up coming event they couldn't be courteous enough to offer to go and find out by asking someone that did. The food was average but pricey based on the quality and quantity. The "daily" sea food special was on the printed menu but was so special it wasn't available to order. No apology just a "we ain't doing that today". The soup of the day was described as carrot with something green..... The slow roasted pork belly, was served in insipid gravy and the meat was more like salted cured bacon than pork. The puddings had been heated and then left before serving to the point they were luke warm and all the ice cream had melted.

You have to book a table "sorry it has been taken" so seated in a residents area. After 45 mins food arrived "sorry problems in the kitchen". My steak Stilton and mushroom pie was over baked, had 2 cubes of meat one piece of mushroom and lots of empty space. My partners comment on her meal was I have had worse. Definitely not a good end to our 4 days in Minehead.

We booked a table for our evening meal. Three of us, myself, husband and adult son. I had the beef burger with bacon and cheese and fries and coleslaw. Very nice burger. Son had honey roasted sausages and mash and thick gravy, which he said was also very nice. For desserts, son had chocolate brownie with salted caramel ice-cream. Which he said was delicious. The young female staff were pleasant and efficient. Would recommend for a meal if you are in Minehead, but need to book in advance, as last night we couldn't get a table with short notice. Today we booked early in the day.

The food is nothing short of excellent. To sumerise, we had an enjoyable stay considering I was recovering from an illness and was room bound , . We will be returning next year . The staff are very helpful and genuinely care and go the extra Mike to help you . if you can get the rooms with a balcony do it so can sit and watch the world go by in this quiet ideal gem of a location OH and fairly priced HIGHLY RECOMENDED

Service was very slow despite there appearing to be no one else eating. I tried the real ale but was of poor quality, I therefore had a standard lager which was flat like it was served in a dirty glass. The food was average at best when it eventually arrived.Overall a very disappointing experience.

Rude staff. 4 of us went in for a drink and some food. A few tables reserved, so picked a table of 4 that clearly wasn't. Half way through our first drink at 5:56pm, we were told the table was needed to be clear for a table of 2 food booking at 6pm! Not "sorry, would you mind moving to one of the other free tables". Needless to say, we left. Their loss, 4 meals and repeat business.

A bonus was that dogs are not just "allowed" but really welcomed. Bruce loved the fusses and a supply of treats. Thanks to the efficient and friendly staff. Being local and having eaten a few times before we will definitely be back.

No idea why they dont add a few tables in the front bar which is large so folk can at least sit down and put there pint somewhere. Staff looked frazzled and overworked and it wasnt even busy. Real ale is all Badger. Minehead is really lacking a decent privately owned freehouse but i guess thats a sign of the times.

I stopped off here to eat in the pub whilst on a little road trip. The pub is set in a nice little Bay Area. We used the street parking behind which was reasonably priced (certainly compared to London prices!). We had the halloumi burger and 2 steak pie dishes. Both types of dish were very nicely prepared. The steak in the pie was very tender. The plates and cutlery were clean and aesthetically pleasing. The meal including 1 alcoholic drink and 2 soft drinks was £56. There was also a pile of games - we played some cards. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. Would recommend!

Had fish and chips…, at the old ship a ground .. because of there reputation on a good food Guide online.. when the meal came., I did expect real homemade fried potato chips., & not 10.., Yes 10, Frozen McKays, type chips.. not nice.. I did point this out the Waiter.,, only to Say no that’s wrong..He went directly into the kitchen.., To come back and say that’s how we do it now..no apologies… I could have gone to spoons for the same meal for half the price..or a local chippy take-a-way. Very Disappointed.., oh yes the pea’s we’re sloppy too.. sorry for bad Review.. The fish 🐟 was nice.., but overall the chips and peas were half of the meal. I was left hungry after leaving.. 10 frozen chips 🍟 .. 😣 .. O,S,A. please don’t reply to my comments.. There’s no excuses.

We had high hopes of an excellent meal at the Old Ship Aground, and as we were going in, we heard a group of people leaving chatting about how lovely it had been. Unfortunately, we were the last booking of the night and I think that the chef had already got his coat on ready to leave as our meal was really not that good, with no seasoning and with some items cooked beyond being edible. However - I always think that the measure of an establishment is how they react when things do go wrong, and in this respect I cannot fault them. The manager, Regina, did everything possible to make things right and we were content with the outcome - the replacement meal was excellent. Well done to her - it's very clear that she is passionate about providing excellent food with excellent service and although she has only been there 3 months I have no doubt she'll succeed. So despite the hiccup with the quality of one meal, it's still a 5* review.

We had a one night stay at the quaint Edwardian pub and stayed in the sea view king room. Great location. Facilities in the room were average and all in working order. The pub decor was very atmospheric. The staff were pleasant and able to check us in just after 3pm. Breakfast was good. Quick service at breakfast. Unfortunately we had a terrible night sleep as there was loud music playing from 10pm through to 3am in the morning when it finally stopped. Still unsure where the music was coming from. Sounded as though it was coming from down in the pub? Unlikely to stay again due to noise disruption over night.

Sadly since my last review the Ship has dropped in my estimation. Sunday lunch was ok but the veg were either under done or over done. Also at Christmas we were given a voucher to use, not to be used on bank holidays or Feb 14th, but it was not accepted, even after we had confirmed it was acceptable when booking the table. The manager said 'No'. Shame.

I reviewed the White Horse on the 18 April 24 when it re-opened after a period of failure. It was wonderful then just to have the pub open for drinks but now Lisa and Tim have a limited menu serving meals from Thursdays to Saturdays evenings and Sunday lunches. Some friends dropped into stay the other night and treated us to a Sunday lunch at the pub, the first since re-opening, which was not just good but exceptional. The beef was first rate with five vegetables beautifully cooked. The place was booked out and all by locals enjoying great hospitality filling the room with animated conversation. We shall be going again as soon as we can! On Mondays our 1759 Guinness Club is now able to regain our home in Stogumber’s White Horse. Last night we met to enjoy Irelands greatest stout and gained a fair few members. Word is spreading!
