The Ship in The Vale of Glamorgan - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Mickey was a absolute star and is a lovely lady, chose to come here with the family and was well worth it because of her, we had some missing scampi but mickey sorted it out straight away and she was lovely about it 10/10 if mickey is serving you 7/10 if not.

Ordered a roast dinner with a beer. Then I was told they don't have that beer here (but it's on their menu) 🤦🏻‍♂️ Then they told me they didn't have any Yorkshire puddings left for the roast dinner. 🤷🏻‍♂️ ONE HOUR later, we were served the dinner 😡 and it didn't seem especially busy. The food was good though, but the wait times aren't worth it. The building is quite run down and in desperate need of a refurb, wallpaper hanging off all over the place and the bathrooms were appalling. I'd give it a miss if I were you.

Nice Food and drinks good value for money, Wendy was very friendly and helpful. We will return.

Must still be doing well because it's still there.

Often go there for a meal. Always lovely food great service. Prices are good for the meals. See you again soon

I ate here today, i think there was some technical issues ordering food using the app/online as i was charged 2 times… however the staff at the bar were helpful in reassuring me that one of the payments will go back into my account by tomorrow. Loses 2 stars however as the steak i ordered, I asked for medium rare which later arrived near well done and my friends food arrived 20+ minutes after I finished mine.

Great visit. Food was good. Service was great. Michelle was our server and she was so lovely.

Whilst I appreciate that that the food is reasonably priced I feel there's a lot of room for improvement. The people serving us were very kind and professional however we weren't happy with the food. My burger was burnt, onions definitely weren't sautéed (menu said it would be), my friends' steaks were well done as opposed to medium-rare. Neither one of us have actually enjoyed our food which is a real shame. Also no one came to check if everything was OK with the food and we waited quite a long time before being served. I'm only giving feedback because I feel it's important for management to realise they need to improve the service otherwise people will stop coming.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere,good food. Great service from Wendy,Callum & Micky😊

Food really good! And very reasonable price!

It's a real gamble if the food is ok or poor quality. I go every month or so and the quality varies wildly.

Great atmosphere, lovely hot food, we were well looked after by all staff

There was a group of 14 of us, they sorted us quickly & efficiently and delicious food came out after a short time

Went there today with my family. What a lovely lady who brought are food to us very friendly and chatting to us she made us soo welcome. We asked for her name she said Wendy this lady was absolutely brilliant and very helpful definitely be back again such a lovley happy lady thank again

Booked a table last Friday night, waited at the bar for 15 minutes before getting served, just getting ignored by the bar staff, ordered food eventually the food was poor standard and not edible, asked the staff to box it up so I could take it home for my dog. Will highly recommend no one should spend good money in this place, disgusting

What lovley ladies wendy and Paige are, talk about service with a smile! We had keema curry and fish with chips, both meals were spectacular. Hot and tasty! We will definitely be back

Great location by the sea! Trying different parts of the menu, the Quadzilla burger is a favourite, followed by the steak and ale pie and the full Monty mix grill, along with a great selection of drinks on draft, and plenty of TV’s to watch the Sports.

Wonderful service by all, especially Mickey and Carly, could not recommend this place enough!

Great location, dump of a place, food shocking. Staff wasn’t bothered when I complained, think it was probably the norm. Avoid this place.

Extremely good value for your money and especially with their deals( please be aware that you can’t use Bluelight discount card on the deals). Will return again and again. Very friendly staff and can’t help you enough.

Visited today for the new menu launch, was served by Wendy, she was very helpful, could not do enough for you. I had the new cheeseburger chilli dipper and it was very nice, will definitely have it again.

Didn't go in for food but for a drink with friends. Wendy the bar person was a delight. Friendly welcoming and efficient. A brilliant ambassador for Greene King.

Came for fathers day and the Sunday lunch smelt lovely, ordered it and honestly I won't be coming again! Was not nice at all! Quite disappointed.

Food was great, and arrived in a timely manner. Order d a wide variety of dishes that satisfied everyone at the table. And have gotten the fish (sea bass and salmon) twice and have not been disappointed either time. Only critique I would give is having items out on display that are not available for sale at the till. Overall great experience!

Mixed grill was ok dessert was massive. Ideal location for the beach and train station too. Could do with new chairs and cleaner tables though

Been twice and had a nice time. Very friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable prices on food and drink and good quality food. It's rare I eat out these days and feel satisfied. Many pubs and restaurants have gone downhill. Will be visiting again. Decent sized car park also.

Food came out quickly and service was great. Table was reserved and change made to number of guests without fuss. Only 2 front of house staff very busy and they coped very well. Latte was forgotten was was resolved quickly without fuss. Will visit again

Always good food with reasonable wiat times at busy periods

The food didn't have what it said on the menu the burger meal had things missing and the horse shoe dessert was a let down as it shows it with strawberry and they wasn't with it so a let down

Great food and great service, Sam helped us out massively with an issue we had couldn’t be more friendly.

Had a lovely weekend at The Ship listening to live Shanty music with great food and drinks 🍻 Well organised by the Manager Carly and very friendly staff. Will be back 😀

Only had a few pints in here. Good pub, thoug.

Nice pub/restaurant in Barry... not expensive... The food was really tasty...

Always good for a beer friendly 👌

Great, hungry as when we got there it wasn't busy but food came out very fast and warm and it was tasty, good value for money, lots of screens, watched the darts, dog was happy, Mrs had the hell in bout something

Louise marked served us, very friendly and made us laugh. She promoted offers and saved us some money. The meal was fantastic and the drinks refreshing. Thanks Louise hope to see you again

Lovely food, clean toilet facilities & friendly service. Absolute diamond service from sam and louise - give those 2 a pay rise

We had meals my gammon was not cooked it was raw inside. And my neighbour had wraps which is salad was black and gone off

Fantastic service - always welcomed with a drink ready to go - thank you Wendy and team top staff

the food was amazing the service:)

Friendly service and reasonable prices. Nice inside.

Wendy and Louis were stars, nothing too much trouble, very polite and friendly all round,

Food was lovely and staff were very friendly

Went as group of 5 friends, the sea bass was lovely as was the chicken parmigiano all served quickly , we all had the sticky toffee and bourbon pudding with lashings of custard, clean plates all around, great.

Nice friendly place, good food.

Nice pub to be fair. Big ol place and nice atmosphere. Food was quick and chips and burgers was hot. Was probably the best burger I’ve had from a hungry horse and I travel around for work. There was even a choir in singing they even invited me to sing as I left, no one needs that.

Really enjoyed the food and the service tonight.

Jobs worth refused to sell a 9oz steak with onions and mushrooms instead of an 8oz steak which he had run out of, either in a made up combo meal or a 9oz steak meal. No cheese available at 6pm on a Sunday! Apparently the system wouldn't let him do it! Pathetic! After 3 attempts to order a steak meal with toppings we gave up and left. Rediculous. Their loss, lack of flexibility and common sense lost them a customer. Had a lovely meal up the road in the Colcot Arms instead!

Went with the family Today lovely food great staff Will definitely be going again

Went for food a couple days ago, simon the chef was outstanding and Sam's service was second to none

Enjoyed our visit here, food was amazing. All staff very friendly.

Amazing trip here as always, thanks to sam, simon and the rest of the team

Food was amazing, Louis behind the bar was very friendly and approachable.

I love my fish and chips every time I go.

Carly refused to serve me when trying to order food and let people cut in front. I politely asked if I could order my food and she said she was too busy too serve, which is the whole point of her even being employed there. Other staff were lovely but sadly Carly was extremely rude and unhygienic since she had rust over her teeth.

Absolutely amazing food amazing prices I will refuse to go anywhere else. Thank you so much for your service today. Kind regards Chantelle and Connor

Portion sizes are very poor for the price you pay for the food. Nearly £4 for cheesy chips and this is the portion you get.

Once again the food was disgusting...every thing was overcooked and dry. How can you possibly serve food that was obviously burnt. We will not eat there again, the only saving grace is the young barman and his co worker.

My dad reserved a table for us both today (30th March 2024 on a Saturday lunchtime) because we decided to eat there on our way to Barry Island. The pub wasn’t as busy as I thought it would be upon arrival. Although our reserved table was originally by a big table with a large family with young children on it, my dad asked if we could sit somewhere quieter and a member of bar staff kindly led us to a designated area for over 18s, which was mostly quieter than the main part of the pub. The music wasn’t too intrusive. I liked the decor of the pub including pictures of Barry Island. I went to the bar to see if I could obtain an NGCI (no gluten-containing ingredients) menu but there was nobody at the bar at that time. When my dad went to that bar, the bar staff who was finally there said I could scan the QR code in the main menu for the NGCI one. I wanted Dr. Pepper Zero with a cherry shot to drink but when my dad brought our drinks to our table, he told me there was no Dr. Pepper Zero, so he ordered me Coca-Cola Zero with the cherry shot instead. I couldn’t quite taste the cherry shot in my drink. My dad was pleased that he could use his Blue Light Card discount code to get 20% off our meals, even on a Saturday lunchtime. My dad ordered the Full Monty mixed grill and I ordered the Pick and Mix chicken skewers sizzler with jacket potato, salad and barbecue sauce. The chicken in both our meals was pleasantly tender, my side salad was fresh and my barbecue sauce was good but my jacket potato didn’t have the crispy skin I was expecting. There were also some tough bits in the onion and pepper mixture. My dad also enjoyed the sausages in his Full Monty, but he found his steak hard to cut even though he asked for it to be cooked rare. Despite the friendliness of the bar staff, the service was rather slow. Overall, despite the slow and somewhat inattentive service and the slight disappointments of our food, my dad and I liked our food for the most part and the quieter atmosphere of the over 18s area. 4/5.

Went to the ship today with my family we were served by micky she was amazing and so friendly and helpful..absolutely lovely lady with excellent customer service..thankyou so much micky ❤️

Love this spot, Wendy is an amazing member of staff. Always super friendly and welcoming to all customers. Feels like a home away from home!

Really great visit, amazing food and service huge thanks to Mickey and Wendy for being so kind and helpful.

Love the pub and the grub 👍🏽 Wicked staff

Went here on Mother's day with a party of 11, staff were very efficient and pleasant (particularly i think her name was Nina ?). Food was hot, tasty and good value for money. Thank you.

It seemed like one woman was doing everything. She was at the bar and told us where our table was, she took our order. Brought us our food, cleared our plates and I also saw her cleaning up after a bunch of messy kids. She was an asset to your establishment but I don't know her name (Sat 9th March 12pm) Food was quick and hot. The only thing that let it down is the music was too loud as there was football commentary on too and it was overwhelming. Would definitely come back though

Have to say worth the drive,better food, service than any other hungry horse in the area

Very good home cooked food. Quiet. Wil definatly be going back. Very nice place when you're inside.

Visited on 4th March. They advertise offers for Grill Monday. Went to order a steak and two mixed grills to be told. No Steaks, no pineapple, no eggs available. Literally went through the menu until I could find something. No scampi. No milk, so no tea, coffee. What's the point of being open on Grill Monday when you have no Grill meals available? Ended up with two tiny chunks of chicken in a chicken new yorker. On the plus side the staff were apologetic and the waiter guy was very polite and friendly considering the amount of apologising he had to do to all the customers.

Wonderful food great outlook over the sea staff very friendly

Had a fabulous time always a cold glass waiting for me thanks to Sam. 8 oz Rump steak with sll the trimmings for £7.50 great value and cooked to perfection by Brian the chef ! Thanks guys !!

So much of the menu not available. Friendly staff but no food to serve. Spent 30 mins trying to order for my family of 6 to be told each time that something wasn't available. We gave up in the end and left hungry.

Visited here today with husband and granddaughter. Service and food was excellent. Lots to choose from also. Very reasonably priced. Wendy I think that was her name went above and beyond and couldn’t be more helpful. Will be visiting again soon. Highly recommend this pub

We had our nephews 21st meal there everyone enjoyed and food was lovely and hot arriving at table service was very good and nice staff

Amazing service from wendy and micky thank you ladies always service with a smile. A pleasure to visit.....i had the 8oz sizzler and it was delicious....will b back again

Nice easy place to go, shared a mixed grill with my wife, which was excellently cooked all the meat was lovely and juicy so good value.

All the food was nice , but we had to wait an hour for our meals, while the rest eat there's. Will go back though as the food was nice

We've visited the ship on many occasions, as a family, with friends, sometimes as a couple and every time without fail the service is outstanding! The food and drinks are competitively priced and always excellent. The team at the ship are all without exception amazing! Nothing is ever too much trouble and you are always afforded a warm welcome.

Very good haven't been here for a while due to bad meals in the past but it's really turned around the food was great and service was outstanding our server Mickey was attentive and helpful our table had a great time 10/10

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Fantastic value for money especially on a week day. Food was very tasty :-) Sea View.

Attended the ship yesterday. Wendy was our server. Was a table for two. Absolutely lovely lady. Food was just as nice. Will definitely be making a return visit. Thank you.

Food good ,great for blue light user's, good for families.

Went here for my birthday, food was lush , came out so quick! Wendy on the bar was amazing and so helpful and friendly. It's nice to be served by someone who isn't just like a robot, defo recommend!

Great place to spend an evening with friends or family, good quality food, reasonable prices and staff very polite and helpful, Emily behind the bar was very friendly, service with a smile at all times 🙂

Me and my family eat in this pub quite often as it’s our local, alway me nice food and lovely staff

I came to the ship Barry with my mum and dad to treat them, the team were absolutely amazing especially Micky , she was so lovely and welcoming and we felt so happy to have come there..... Will definitely come back if she is working x

Had lunch recently at the Ship. I took my great granddaughter. We had a lovely time. We were looked after by Emily. She made our visit enjoyable. She made sure we had everything we wanted

lovely food, great service from emily on the bar, very helpful and friendly!

Thank you to our server Emily, everything was perfect and food was amazing! Great experience definitely coming back.

Great food and outstanding service from our waitress, Emily. Thanks for making our visit so pleasurable. Will definitely be back

Just popped in for a quick bite, and the food was nice and hot, served by Micky and Wendy got to mention the chef Charlie as well good teamwork by all. Thank you. I will call again

We went for lunch today it was not very busy so ordered our meals and drinks after waiting an hour we asked how long for food were told we were next we then watched lots more orders being brought out so requested a refund and went to another pub where we were served in good time. This is is not the first time this has happened at the Ship but its definitely the last time we will not return again . Friends and family have been informed about the rediculous culture here of getting out the easy meals first !!!!! BIG NO THANKS

Wendy is amazing, best staff member, always lovely and courteous towards all customers. Lovely pub atmosphere. 10/10

Booked for 30 people to be told we can't order what people would like. Menu items were limited, lack of staff. No organisation skills. My 4 year old is more organise better than the staff here. Food then took over an hour to come out one meal at a time or one dish at time so nobody could eat together. The food was some of the worst I've ever eaten should of gone mac d would of got better service . Will not be return to this poorly run restaurant in the future.

Great value. Had Mixit meal just £8.50 Skillet with salmon on a bed of onions and peppers with jacket potato,big salad and barbecue sauce. Delicious. Perfect service.

Only popped in to use the toilets. Quite a few eating at it was before noon. Food looked good

Absolutely wonderful staff create meals and everything came out on time and hot

The mackerel was a little bit on the small side, and the mash tasted like powder mash. The steak was ordered as medium rare, but the steak was served well done.

the food was not that great to be honest. Went on a monday my food was over cooked. Most of it was burned and took ages for the meal to reach us. Pepole serving were nice and friendly. To be honest can not recommend this place for a meal. Usually i would order a desert but becuase of the state of the main course opted not to waste money on it.

Food was really good and reasonable price. Very busy with lots of atmosphere when I went but service was still very fast and didn’t have to wait long for my food at all. I had the katsu banquet and would highly recommend it. Would be nice if they offered an upgrade option on this dish to get more wings though ( go large)! Will definitely be back.

The inside smells it’s so hot the staff are mean the wait is between 1to 3 hours for chips and nuggets and when we had it it was moldy cold stail do not go there it is bad the kids area is closed it’s not worth it at all not even the drinks were nice 😭👎🏻
