The Old Ship Inn in Conwy

Lovely home cooked meal, friendly staff. Been many times over the years when visiting snowdonia. Lamb and the meat pie are favourites 😋 of the choices board.

We visited as 4 couples for an early dinner during a stay in wales, what a lovely country pub. We were served by a lovely young man called Daniel, the service was excellent, the food fantastic and huge portions, highly recommend visiting this pub if you are in the area

This has always been one of our go to pubs when we have visited the area and I am pleased to say it's still a great place to visit. on arrival the lovely lady behind the bar was very welcoming and was very helpful when suggesting a particular type of wine to try she even gave me a taster just to make sure I would enjoy it, my husband went for a real ale as the pub is exceptionally good at keeping ale. the food was delicious I went for the bean hotpot whilst my husband had the lamb. the place is clean warm welcoming with great food staff and locals. can't wait to visit again

On arrival bought drinks and sat down, after about 15 mins bar staff came to tell us that they couldn’t serve us as food was running out, there were no staff & chef was in a really bad mood. Then went on to say we were told on booking that it was on the terms of “take your chance”. Which was a blatant lie. Leaving us at 7.45 bank holiday Friday unable to drive anywhere else to get food. We went to the nearby Fairy Falls which is under new management & was excellent food AND service.

Came, sat down and left. The land lady is extremely rude. There was no one, and I mean 0 customers in the pub but dirty tables with old food and drinks still on them all outside. Idle staff just hanging around doing nothing. Left after 5 mins. Went 10 mins further up the road to a really lovely pub with friendly staff and home cooked food called Y bedol.

What a find. We were two couples staying nearby, looking for a good pub that did food. Drove past during the day and thought it looked interesting. So glad we went back that same evening. Traditional pub with real fires and lovely staff. The food was home cooked and proper pub fare. Special mention for the steak pie .... exemplary! Unpretentious and welcoming, we will absolutely be back when in the area next.

What a great start to our long weekend away. The food was exceptional and home cooked, the chef is amazing. Two had the steak & ale pie, pepperpot beef & lentil shepherds pie. Cannot rate the food at The Old Ship more highly would 100% recommend. Also, friendly staff. Thank you

Another great lunch in the Old Ship, which we only discovered recently, our third time staying in the village, and this already feels like our local. The two ladies we have been served by behind the bar are very friendly, and very good at their job. We have yet to meet the landlady, as she always seems to be in the kitchen, turning out very good pub food. On our last visit, we both had the lamb shoulder, which you need to be hungry for, this would not count as a light lunch, but is just right for a rugby player on a Sunday. This time, I went for the home made pie, which again is excellent, if I was to be really, really picky on a Sunday I would like roast potatoes, rather than chips. My wife went for two starters, thinking they would be the same size together as a main course. I actually had to help her finish as they are large starters. Give it a go, it's well worth a visit.

Sat outside in the sunshine with our dog while we had our drinks and lovely food served in a timely manner. No complaints from us!

Terrible service, rude staff! Threatened to give our table away because we were running a few minutes late (that we politely called ahead). See screenshot

Having visited last August we returned easter weekend as we were in our caravan at glyn farm. Again, this is a great pub for food and to sit out with the dogs in the lovely garden which backs onto a stream. Staff as friendly as always and will be back soon when in our caravan.

wir kennen diese Restaurant seid über 30 Jahren, nun hat ein neuer Besitzer übernommen. Wir haben in Wales noch nie so schlecht gegessen. Meiden sie diesen Pub. Meine Frau hat ein Pilzgericht gegessen und danach 2 Tage gelitten. Ich hatte eine Stew-Gericht dessen Alter fraglich war.

We have returned to the old ship on our second holiday to Wales as the food is always consistently good. We didn't book a table but they very kindly offered us a table anyway. We have two gluten free and one dairy free in the family and both are offered plenty of options. Will definitely return again.

I went to The old Ship with a friend for a long overdue special meal. At first everything was lovely our starter's arrived and was good. But when my main arrived, (I had ordered Lamb shoulder with dauphinoise potatoes) it was lamb but served with 3 tiny boiled potatoes. I specifically ordered the lamb because I love dauphinoise potatoes so decided to order it even though it was expensive. I went to the bar to explain that I only ordered the lamb because of the dauphinoise and that's not what I've been given. I was told to choose something else and would be given a refund for the difference. I thanked them and agreed. This is where things started to go wrong. The waiter then came back and said I couldn't have my new order and could only have the lamb (reheated) with mash, again I reluctantly said OK. Few minutes later I was told I couldn't have the lamb with mash potato unless I gave back my refund and paid the full £22.50. I would never have ordered lamb and mash for £22.50 I said I'd lost my appetite after accepting every alternative, to be finally told I had to pay full price for their mistake. They begrudgingly gave me a refund for my main but we asked to speak to the owner as we we're made to feel like it was our fault. The owner came out shouting at me and my friend and when I said that I'd been looking forward to my meal and would now probably just end up with cheese on toast at home, that's when the owner got personal and said "now come on, you've had a starter already, I think we all eat too much these days!" She shouted at myself and my friend from the second she came out to speak to us and at no point would she accept that it was her mistake and that I had been more accommodating accepting every alternative offered, except paying full price for something I hadn't and wouldn't have ordered in the first place. It completely ruined my evening and I felt very intimidated and was close to tears as I left. As we were walking away she shouted after us "Do you want to use my laptop to make the bad review on TripAdvisor?!?" At no point did she say sorry. I wasn't looking for any free drinks or food but an apology would have been the very least she could have given. I would never go there again!!!

Food was great, portions good, staff lovely, atmosphere friendly, will definitely go back next time we’re in the area,

Lovely pub, we booked in advance but as we arrived as it had opened there were many tables. All the food was delicious, very filling and the service was on point.

Looks quite modern from the outside with a lovely size garden. Inside was a different story an old pub so older style feel appreciated but the musty smell is not! Ornaments and decor so random 18th century to the 80s and anything else in between, someone's had a field day at the car boot. The food however was really good, average prices generous portions and probably the best fish I've had in somewhere like this. There was 4 of us and we all enjoyed our meals. You won't be disappointed if you end up there but equally I don't think I'd rush back

We managed to get a table here at a few hours notice, whilst staying in nearby Betws y Coed where restaurants seem to be at a premium. About a 5 mile, 12 minute journey by car from BYC. There is a large car park. It was busy even at half six on an early October mid week evening. We were promptly shown to our table and our white wine - good and chilled arrived quickly with the requested iced water. The fish & chips were good although the batter was a bit spongy. The homemade steak & mushroom pie with chips, peas, carrots and broccoli was very nice and tasty. I would have had a dessert but there was only one lady doing the bar and taking orders and when it was got very busy she needed help although she did a good job. Our bill came to £41 for two glasses of wine and two mains - happy with that. It is well worth a visit.

Lovely food this lunchtime. Never dissapointed when we visit. And we will be back. Steak and ale pie - brill!!!! We have been here before, and glad to report the food is still very good.

Lots of notices saying what they can't do for you at the moment, due to severe staff shortage. They were coping with this in fact, mainly by severely restricting numbers and taking a very strict line on 'bookings only'. An attractive pub and in better times the garden would be nice. Service was fine, and my meal was decent except for slightly dry chicken. Generous portions.

Just got back to our B and B in Betws-y-Coed after a lovely meal here in the Old Ship. Our bar assistant was fantastic and very attentive! We had starters and mains, I had 3 different types of gin from a massive assortment, all very reasonably priced! The food was delicious, we sampled the fish and chips, which my partner inhaled! I had the garlic and Stilton mushrooms to start, which were amazing, then the herby sausages and mash with red wine gravy for my main. Everything tasted exceptional, and very well seasoned. You can tell that care is taken to cook the food. The menu is limited due to covid, but what is on offer is top notch! My only tiny gripe may be that with severely reduced numbers due to covid, you lose a certain level of atmosphere. But the pub dog (Holly) more than made up for this with her surprise appearance, ZOOMIES, and subsequent cuddles!

ORDER THE FISH AND CHIPS !! Fantastic meal, friendly staff, good value for money. I highly recommend taking a visit ! Great pub.

A poor welcome. When I asked if we could sit in the beer garden, the waiter looked upset, and service was very slow. To the point I was convinced we were being ignored- and it wasn’t busy.It wasn’t busy because not only was customer service poor, but the quality and portion size of the food was shameful. If you are hungry after a walk, don’t eat here. I paid £20 for a seafood ‘platter. It should be readvertised as an appetiser. And stale ‘crusty’ bread . See picture.

No booking, no problem. Friendly staff, very good choice food and beer. Good portions, too full for dessert. Veg cooked as it should be. Reccomend the Salmon Salad. Would go again, tomorrow. Bryan Martin Dorothy.

First time at here but really enjoyed our visit. The staff were really welcoming and friendly . Our food was delicious , especially the steak and ale pie , which was packed with steak and really tasty. The beer was also enjoyable . We will return if in the area again.

Wonderful genuine friendly service. Food was amazing. Salmon and mash potato highly recommended. Couldn't ask for a better place to eat. Highly recommended

What a lovely meal, perfect roast dinner, lovely staff and a very warm welcome despite Covid restrictions..My husband and I received a really warm friendly welcome on our recent visit to the The old Ship..All Covid restrictions were adhered too and we felt extremely safe and were definitely well looked after..The meal and service were excellent and we look forward to our next visit..

Booked for early evening meal.The lamb shoulder was delicious,melted in the mouth & just fell off the bone with good mix of well cooked veg. Very tasty indeed.My husband had steak pie which was filled with big chunks of tender delicious steak.He was really pleased with his choice.Service was excellent.The young lady that served us was very pleasant,polite & efficient.We will certainly eat there again when in that area.Thank you.

This maybe an unfair review but it’s meant in good faith…We stopped by to see if we could get a table at 6pm when the place was totally empty… we said we would be gone by 7pm.The silly waiting stuff would not even entertain this…. Guys you’ve been closed for months and you make money by turning the tables and serving lots of customers….. makes no business sense whatsoever ever…I find it so frustrating.Food looks very good by the way.

Food was absolutely fantastic! Service was excellent too! Not knowing that lunch time officially ended at 2pm, we called the restaurant 20mins before to ask if we could dine in as we were 10mins drive away. The servers were very kind and said it was fine. We had lamb shoulder and peppered pot beef. The lamb was amazing! Beef was a little on the ‘sweet’ side for me but the meat was tender and tasty. Would definitely return for another visit!

We stayed next door at the b and b for 2 nights and came to the old ship both nights.Night 1 my partner had sausage and mash with eton mess for dessert. I had cajun chicken salad with chocolate fudge cake and salted caramel ice cream. Our review for this is:My partner felt he could have done with 3 sausages rather than 2 as he was very hungry after a long walk. We had looked at the menu online beforehand and he was quite looking forward to a steak bur this wasnt on the menu when we went in? So we have considered that in the rating of 4 stars.The dessert was well portioned and looked good. It also tasted good!For my meal my salad was lovely but too many tomatoes for my liking and could have had more peppers perhaps or cucumber (just my preference) chicken was verg hot and super tasty! My dessert was lush! Good size and well presented Night 2:Partner had sticky toffee pudding and we both had fish and chips! It was lovely! Good size fish lovrly crispy batter not soggy. Chips were nice and plenty of mushy peas. Everything was exscrly what we would expect.The song choices were interesting....some Christmas songs on? I believe the disc maybe stuck which was a little funny..drink choices were ok i had a few differnt gin and my partner tried a few ales.

We had planned to visit Betws-y-coed but when we arrived it was so busy, no parking, everywhere was rammed, so we carried on into Trefriw. so glad we did!We had the dog so were directed outside - not a problem - its a small pub and a big dog.The pub has a great outdoor seating area with river views where dogs are welcomed and some outdoor seating under cover which is where we sat.We had 2 great meals, really well cooked and good value (the veggie option of bean pot with goats cheese was really unusual which was a nice change )Staff were all friendly.We will head there again next time we are in the area.

Excellent food and welcoming and friendly staff - I highly recommend you visit we visited early September we were able to get a table for lunch but you need to book for dinner or you may not get a table. Be prepared for huge portions of food - I couldn’t finish mine and I love my food

Great pub, welcoming staff, tasty food, good service, reasonable prices. This was a return visit, and we will come here again if in the area as it is by far one of the better places to eat around betws.

My partner and I arrived on a Saturday afternoon and we ordered two halves of cider which came to £8.80. I paid and thought it seemed a bit steep. We booked a table for that evening and we had two chicken dinners and we ordered two pints of squash and lemonade. The food was nice, however was expensive for the amount you were given. The drinks came to £8.80 again!! for squash and lemonade. I'm not one to complain but this was taking advantage. We didn't return.

A fantastic evening. Great food for a family Sunday supper. Portions hearty. Lamb amazing. Kids happy. Service brilliant and friendly. Better than some fine dining restaurants. Will be back again.

Fabulous food and lovely staff! Loved the lamb and good selection of ice creams. Had our dinner in the garden.

Opening post covid restrictions cannot be easy for any business, let alone an independent restaurant. The inside area has been adapted as best as possible to accommodate the 2 meter distancing rule. Understandably, the menu is reduced, but there is something for everyone. All food was freshly cooked to order. All our meals (starter and main) were cooked to perfection.I found the pricing in line with similar establishments.Well done to The Old Ship! Diolch yn fawr!

Called in an Sunday after a walk in the Welsh hills. The day was hot and there were plenty of tables in the beer garden. Ordered a pint of real ale and the goats cheese and vegetables. I am a vegetarian and often disappointed by the quality of some vegetarian cooking but this was well seasoned and superb. I tried to get the recipe off the chef.

I'm not normally one for writing reviews but I had to for this one.Myself and my girlfriend only stumbled on this pub by accident as nearby roads were flooded and we just wanted to stop for lunch.Whilst touching on the expensive side for a pub, it was genuinely superb food. I had a steak, ale and mushroom pie, I'm not one to say "it's the best I've ever had" for the sake of it but it genuinely was. The flavour and the texture were second to none and the pastry was great.My girlfriend had the lamb and said the same. If you're on a day/weekend trip between Conwy and Betws-y-Coed, you've got to try this place.

Chandlers Brasseire was a great place for lunch and for dinner during our stay at Trefriw. Good food choices, good menu, and good services. Classic English Pub atmosphere.

It was my Birthday so of course we ate at our favourite pub. As usual, they did not dissapoint. Not only do they have wonderful main dishes, the veg that comes with them is the best ever...they have an amazing pickled cabbage side, wow!

As frequent visitors to the beautiful village of Trefriw we have eaten at The Old Ship countless times over the years. This is a traditional and cosy pub serving food that goes well beyond average pub grub. It has a lovely atmosphere, excellent service and a small but superb menu. We would particularly recommend the pepper pot beef and steak pie for mains and the bara brith and butter pudding for dessert. The only small complaint ~ Please put the lemon posset back on the menu

The Old Ship InnTrefriwUnprofessional Manager/Owner737832868Went here late last year for a meal with the family and extended family.All were very unimpressed by the food, the poor value, the cramped nature of the place, cleanliness and most of all the owner.The waitress serving was very good and pleasant and so was the young lad that served us but when we had to query the bill for a couple of mistakes over drinks we unfortunately came across this lady who it was said was ‘the owner’, not a nice experience, very confrontational, very unprofessional and her actions displayed to us that She didn’t really care about her staff or her customers.We don’t be going back but do recommend other places quite near.

Our group stopped off at the Old Ship during a mini-break in North Wales - our B&B said it was still the best pub in the area and we looked forward to trying it again. It had been a few years since we'd been to Trefriw so we thought we'd try it again. We received a very warm welcome from the lady at the bar who helped us find a table and then served us our drinks - excellent beer from a local brewery called Purple Moose and some unusual gins from their gin menu - a nice idea! The menu is on a big blackboard and we were split for choice but in the end went for steak pie x 2, fish and chips and the vegetarian 'bean pot'. One of our group has specific dietary requirements but this was not an issue one bit - good to see. All the food was tasty, well presented and filling, and both the bar and restaurant areas are cosy with real fires. It was all so good we returned the next night and it was just as good the second time (TRY THE LAMB SHOULDER!!!). We'll be back and won't leave it so long this time...!

Had not visited for a while and I don't think I'll be going back any time soon. The food used to be outstanding but the quality has gone down massively. The food was under seasoned and overpriced.

Evening meal on a Weds for family of four. Several seating areas. Nice fires burning away to give some warmth. Proper "old style" pub which the locals were using. Ordered fish and chips, steak &ale pie, salmon and chorizo cassoulet - all very nice. Good service and fair price. Plenty of easy access parking. Looks like there is a nice garden area by river but as was dark during our visit and wet weather, cannot say more about that. Would return.

My wife and I were spending a week on holiday in Snowdonia, and happened on this charming village inn near to our holiday stay. My wife has dietary issues, and is currently following the FODMAP process. The Old Ship Inn were totally sympathetic and discussed her needs at length, creating a meal especially for her - I'm sure that if it had been high season, this would have been more difficult for them, but they made the effort, and it was really appreciated. Her meal, and mine, were excellent, and the service and attention first class. If you are near the LL27 / Lllanwrst area, you could fare a lot worse. Thank you all. Strongly recommended.

My partner picked this place based on the menu as I wanted lamb for my main. We came here with my parents, the lady behind the bar was accommodating, friendly, and had a good sense of humour. We were seated, and as my mum has mobility issues she even pointed out we could exit through the door near where we were seated, which was helpful.I had the goats cheese for starters, it was ok but I feel it needed something to make it taste a bit sharper, perhaps paring it with a pickled beetroot or cranberry sauce rather than pesto. The lamb that I had for my main was absolutely delicious and I couldn't fault it in anyway. The creme brûlée I had for desert was also very good. I tried a bit of the beef my mum had for her main, but that wasn't too my taste and was a very cowy tasting bit of beef if that makes sense, and was a bit too strong in taste for me. Overall, the food was good and the atmosphere was good. It was a bit too hot where we were seated as lots of candles were lit for ambience, the place as a bit on the pricy side and it did feel a bit cramped, but overall a good place for a nice hearty and tasty meal.

We were having a few days in Wales. The B&B; advised several eating places, The Old Ship being one.

We have eaten here for the past two nights while staying at Gwydir Castle. The food is very good, the atmosphere pleasant and the staff are helpful and friendly. If have a food intolerance they are pleased to assist you in your choices, Excellent pub.

Stayed at the Crafnant B & B who recommended the neighbouring pub.

Nice lively pub with good food. The fish and chips was very good. The pie of the day was yummy. All massive portions and served in a reasonable time.

Great traditional pub. Excellent menu and food was delicious and generous portions. Will definitely return soon.

Myself, husband and children 10yrs and 12yrs all enjoyed our evening meals on a Thursday night. Good portions and delicious. We had steak pie, chicken breast and kids menu. The puddings were great too. The staff were friendly and good service, a nice atmosphere and my husband enjoyed his beer.

This is a great old traditional pub that takes you back to the days of old. There is not a lot of room to move around in the bar, but thankfully, there is an additional dining area for guests/ parties downstairs or in the garden. We choose to stay by the bar, and we were very surprised by how busy it was for midweek and the size of the village! The menu is well balanced and varied and the portions ensure you are well fed! The homemade pie was excellent, as was the fish & chips. The service was welcoming and friendly - glad there was no wifi! The town has two pubs and both have excellent Chefs! Venture out of the city and come visit!

Finally we found somewhere near Betws-Y-Coed that served good quality meals! The landlady was very friendly and let us know that we should order at the bar. The food was excellent, delicious and served on hot plates. We would definitely return!

The Old Ship Inn was recommended to us by our B&B; owner and we drove out to Trefriw to visit. The pub looks quite unassuming at first sight but the food proved to be excellent. We had steak and ale pie and fish and chips and it was so good that we returned the following evening for another meal. The service was also friendly and relaxed. It does get busy so best to book or arrive early.

The Old Ship Inn is on the side of the street blending in with the surrounding buildings, but once inside, it is a different story. Small and Quaint in the old-fashioned sense, and the staff were very welcoming and assisted with drink and food selections. Food was served in generous but not "giant" helpings .. and was as promised, very tasty. Lamb shank was, as hoped, falling off the bone, and the quiche was home-cooking at its best.

Been here year after year. Lovely food and reliably well kept beers. The pies are probably the best.

I had been told that the lamb shoulder in this place was excellent so that is what I went for. The rest of our party chose different dishes from a varied menu and then each was very happy with their choice.

We had a meal here and thoroughly enjoyed it, there isn’t an awful lot of choice on the menu but something for everyone. My partner had the fish and chips, myself and my daughter had the chicken breast and my son had the pie- it was so deeply filled!! Lovely meal and reasonably priced.

We were staying next door to this lovely Welsh pub as we did last year. We were impressed last year and were just as impressed this year. Plenty of choices on the menu and we would have eaten here every night we stayed but they are closed on Monday. Great quality food and very friendly and welcoming pub. Always busy in our experience. Look forward to returning next year too.

We had a delicious meal of fish and chips in this homely and friendly pub. The fish was excellent, the chips were just right and it was very good value for money.

Booked on phone for 7.30pm on a sat night we where seated straight away & shown the menu. We ordered at the bar & where told that we would have a 1 hr wait . We had our 7 yr old grandson with us so if we where told that on the phone when booking we may have made other arrangements. To be fair the food was excellent but at no time where we asked if everything was ok . I realise that it was busy but customer feedback I feel is important & the wait was excessive

Stopped off here on the way to Llanrwst, so glad we did. Friendly welcome , good food and the lady behind the bar took time out to explain about various walks in the area.

We decided to go for a trip out on the bus from Llandudno and we stopped in this pretty village in Trefriw and the staff were so nice and pleasant. The young lady behind the bar was so helpful and she is a credit to the pub. Highly recommended

We ate here a few times while staying locally. The pub has a lovely atmosphere, the staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is good home cooked and reasonably priced. It's a shame we were only visiting as I'd like this to be my local!

Faultless! No, honestly. A very warm welcome, good beer; excellent food ( I had garlic mushrooms with Stlilton to start; pie, chips and veg for main. Busy wee place but nevertheless... great, friendly service I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Highly recommend the Old Ship Inn. We recently had lunch with a small tour group. We were a bit late arriving but we were so warmly welcomed by excellent staff. We enjoyed locally sourced food in abundance. The bangers (local sausages) and mash were the best I have ever had. Cozy and warm atmosphere on a cool rainy day.

We arrived with a small tour group on a cool and rainy early afternoon. It was perfect. Cool and drizzling outside, warm and inviting inside. We were warmly greeted and invited into an “old pub” atmosphere. It’s the the kind of place you wish you had in your neighborhood. It’s not one of those quickly built establishments acting like they are a real pub. As an old Navy radio guy, I appreciated the antique radio items on display. But all this was just the opening act! The food, which is what we had really come for, was going to be excellent.

We ate here twice over Easter bank holiday, and both times we all had proper pub grub at reasonable prices and tasty it was too. Nice beer also was on offer.

A lovely, charming pub with a great atmosphere and an excellent selection of Gin and draft beer. We didn’t stay to eat, but the food we saw looked and smelt delicious, will definitely be staying for a meal next time we pass.

We went out for a famlly meal and everyone enjoyed themselves. The food was excellent as was the service. It was very busy there which is always a very good sign.Llawer o ddiolch.

Always a pleasure to go there and the customer service is always top notch. Clean and inviting atmosphere. Have eaten there many times over the years. I feel that the quality of the food is nice, although not as good as it has previously been, perhaps a new chef?

We had a three course meal and we were stuffed to the gills! Food was fantastic and perfectly cooked. Will deffinately be going back!

Stopped here for lunch after a lovely walk , staff very nice . Food amazing , 7 out of 7 of us enjoyed our meals and all plates clean . Lovely log fire as well . Good find

This is a proper old fashioned pub. Nice old bar, loads of beams and glasses and bottles hung everywhere. And a fire. It’s a brilliant place to spend a winter evening and the food is absolutely outstanding, especially for the price. Their steak pie (sourced from the butchers opposite) and the fish and chips were particularly awesome.

Nice pub menu, really good atmosphere and busy. Reasonable choice of food and wine menu. Advisable to book at weekends as gets very full which is a good sign!

Post walk lunch. Our group of 8 had a wide range of superb home-cooked meals ranging from venison braised in red wine to home made fish soup and home made quiche. All were top quality. Beer was also highly recommended. Staff were friendly and efficient. Lovely decor. Overall, a wonderful meal and we will be back!

Came here after climbing Snowden and I had the chicken in leek and mushroom sauce with chips and vegetables,, all our food was good, we all had something different and it was all Fresh and tasty. The bill For 4 was £49 and there

Whilst staying in the local area we popped to this pub for a pint. What a pint! The beer is kept at a high standard. We enjoyed the Banks Bitter and Butty Bach. However, the ales are constantly changing so who knows what tasty ale you may encounter if you visit. We visited again later in the week for lunch. The beanpot with goats cheese and steak pie were our choices and we were not disappointed. This pub and the friendly, welcoming locals will be a deciding factor when deciding to holiday in this part of the country again. We shall definitely return.

We stayed at a B&B; in Trefriw as we wanted to climb Snowdon which is easily accessible from this village. After our climb we were obviously a bit weary and very hungry! The Old Ship Inn is next door to the B&B; and we were grateful to be able to just pop next door - we were so glad we did! It was a Saturday evening and we managed to get a table but it was very busy and it would probably be advisable to book at a weekend. It is a basic, traditional pub with a good choice of beer. The menu offered a good range of traditional pub food - I chose a hearty, homemade steak pie and chips whilst my husband chose pepperpot beef with ginger.

The food was excellent and was served quickly despite them being busy. the staff were friendlyand very helpful. Would go there again.

I had to go back again, the food and ambience was so lovely. My parents have been eating lunch this gorgeous Pub for a few years.So when visiting my parents who live in Rhos-on-Sea during Sept 2018 I had the absolute pleasure of visiting here for lunch. I had the salmon on spinach mash and ratatouille,which was delicious. I had just had to visit again before my return to Australia. My second visit I had the Pepper beef with ginger also delicious. Thank you for great food with fond and enduring memories of time spent with my elderly parents.

Nice pub menu, really good atmosphere and busy. Reasonable choice of food and wine menu. Advisable to book at weekends as gets very full which is a good sign!

Serves meals on Sunday evening, so was busy a good sign. My wife had baked goat's cheese and steak and ale pie and I had a steak, chips and vegetables good. Good size portions neither of us could be tempted to a dessert. A selection of real ales on offer and the one we tried we enjoyed. Service was a little tardy but it was busy and the food was freshly cooked and hot when it arrived. Would recommend.

Great food large portions. Lovely pub we turned up on a quiz night, everyone seemed very friendly and we enjoyed our meal.

We were in this pretty village for 2 nights, the first evening we went to the Ship and were lucky to get a table. I was hoping for the vegetarian cottage pie but that had gone. However the char grilled vege lasagne was much tastier than I had expected. My partner had the shoulder of lamb and found that delicious too. We tried the brasserie the following night but they couldn't accept card payments, we couldn't get in at the Ship so its popularity speaks volumes. We ended up driving to a local town!!

Good friendly pub with good food. This pub was conveniently located next door to Crafnant House where we were staying. The first night my wife had shoulder of lamb, beautifully cooked and very generous proportion, so much so that I was called upon to help finish it which was no hardship at all. We tried another place to eat the next night but we're a little disappointed so had no hesitation in the returning here when we enjoyed another lovely meal on the Friday night when we were lucky to get a table.

il pub è arredato in modo tradizionale e con attenzione a creare un'atmosfera accogliente. Ci sono pochissimi turisti e molti locali, lo staff è gentile, l'offerta culinaria molto varia (anatra, maiale, piatto vegetariano, agnello...), con porzioni davvero abbondanti e ben preparate. Anche i dolci sono interessanti. Ha anche un beer garden con i giochi per i bambini. Da provare

Headed over for an early evening meal following a recommendation from our Airbnb owners as well a glowing reports from other guests in the guest book. We were not disappointed! Welcoming and helpful staff, lovely atmosphere and great food.

Popped in for a pint and food on a couple of occasions whilst staying locally. Great pub and food excellent. Recommended

Good job we booked our meal on a Thursday night cos it was chokka. Real ale great and kept well. Whiskeys and gins of great choice. Food was restaurant standard. Table we had was a bit cosy but fine. A definite place to return.

What a fabulous little pub! Wonderful atmosphere. Fantastic food. Excellent service. Very near wonderful walks.

Had a great meal with the family. As usual everyone wanted something slightly different from that offered. All requirements well catered for. Lamb (my favourite) was excellent but just too large to finish. Good sides of freshly cooked vegetables. For a small pub this was exceptional.

My partner and I have enjoyed dining at this hidden gem a couple of times a year for a while now, and have never been disappointed. The atmosphere is lovely, cosy, the food is varied and delicious, moderately priced considering the quality, and the young staff are most friendly, courteous, efficient and helpful. There is plenty of parking, also a lovely and quite extensive garden seating area (recently upgraded) with a nice view of the valley. Highly recommended, my partner and I will certainly be visiting again... and again hopefully!

Went not knowing what to expect....what a treat! Cool outside seating, local staff and really delicious food. The only possibile improvement would be local mussels & fish (although the ones from Chile were also tasty!) Diolch, would defo go back. Really impressed, all 4 meals were lovely.

Simple and quick, the best fish supper you can get in Wales. They have a good choice of fresh fish and they are very good value for money

Glad we went early as tables soon filled up - nice mix of locals and tourists. We went for fish and chips, which was lovely. There were three or four dishes I could have gone for. Very pleasant.
