Food was good, but the place feels a little run down

Good pub food. Plenty of car parking. Handy to and from Barry island for food and drinks. Large beer garden.

Food was lovely and staff were very friendly

Good experience and good quality of food, especially the meal deal. Friendly team with great service that we enjoyed our lunch time here.

Great experience in the Ship today. Staff are lovely, food was pretty good & reasonably priced.

Went for lunch and noticed it was under new management. The food and service were excellent.

Very lovely experience at this pub, good quality and quantity of food for the price. New managers are very welcoming, had a lovely chat with them upon arrival. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area and looking for somewhere nice to eat out

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.

Came by today with the family for a bite to eat and I have to say both the food and service was excellent, we’re local so we will be returning in the near future.

Under new management. Came today for food and a few drinks. The new manager Lee is friendly and can't do enough for you. Food was excellent. 3 cask ales on, first time since 2017. Place is turning around.

Good value for food and friendly and helpful staffq

Had a lovely meal here this evening with my family while visiting Barry. Was served quickly by lovely staff the food was great value for money really enjoyed it.

Excellent service from the waitress Micky. She's served us on many occasion, she's always polite & helpful. Great good too.

Amazing service ,highly recommended, went in with the my family for drinks after a walk over the island quick service, would definitely be coming 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

Typical pub grub food, was lovely

Popped in for a quick bite and a drink. Ordered on the app for ease and speed and boy, was it quick in total 30 minutes from start to finish and enough time to do a review better mention the staff Cal my drink & micky served my food and checked back to see if all was OK. Special thanks to the chef Lee hot food served quickly and edable green peas 10/10

Came for food, hot and quick, will be back

Food was amazing, Sam on the bar was very helpful and friendly.

I ordered a burger and it wasn't fully cooked

Good value for money, food was excellent, staff very nice, especially the waitress Micky. The place was very clean and tidy. Will certainly go again.

Fabulous jamie area manager in great bloke !!

Lovely family pub, I was served by Paige she is very friendly and welcoming. The food was lovely, great prices. Definitely be back. Thankyou

When we went there was a singer in the adjacent bar he was very good.

Went for sport but only one channel at a time so no multiple games. Staff didn't care so wouldn't recommend for sports.

Had great hot food, worth your money, such a great option for kids especially being so close to the pleasure beach

Went for lunch today. Food was served quickly and piping hot service was fantastic the girls were welcoming and accommodating. Will be returning

Just enjoyed a very nice meal here. Everything was hot, tasty and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

Great experience! Me and my two kids initially went in to rob the place but after two cracking burgers , strawberry’s and waffles and the hospitality of Wendy and Emily we decided to just shoot our nerf guns out in the play area . Thanks all . We will return ! Billy(5) still said he’s going to come back and rob the place. So watch out !!!! I’ll just be back for the Stella .

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

I love my fish and chips every time I go.

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

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

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

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 ❤️
