The Ship in Gwynedd

Absolutely excellent food and service, so good went back again during our weeks holiday!

Went here last night. It was excellent. I would recommend going here for an evening out.

Great local pub, amazing food and nice staff. We was on the local campsite and drove down for food, it was all great, food was very good quality

Visitors to the area and found this gem of a pub which served excellant food and discovered that it was the oldest pub in Portmadog

Nice grub, bit dated needs a refurb. Beer kept well.

An excellent little pub, friendly staff, decent prices and great food. If your in the area do give it a go.

This is the sort of Pub that you remember from your youth and you are lucky to find these days. Cozy tradition pub, serving very large portions of traditional pub grub (Hint[ the steak and ale pie is especially good). No ''craft beer,'' or Nettle and Quinoa tadziones - good, solid food here. The Welsh Cyder is good too. I would have given Y Llong 5 stars except for two relativelyminor things; 1 the table was very sticky and is in need of a good washing-down with vinegar or sugar water 2. The Menu looked as though it was printed in 1975 and had a lot of handling in the last 50 years. Get some new ones photocopiedan replace them when tey get grubby folks!

Had a lovely steak and ale pie with chips and veg. Delicious food, great service and atmosphere. It was quiet when we arrived but soon filled up. Would recommend

Gorgeous home made food and very reasonable well recommended

A lovely cosy town pub that serves some tasty , well presented and priced food They also have some specials displayed and it is located behind a park just off one of the main roads I would eat here again if in the area and recommend giving a try

In the bar with our dogs. Made to feel very welcome by locals and staff. Excellent gluten free Sunday roast, rare anywhere! Great beef roast for non gf. Good cider too!

Lovely friendly pub, fantastic food and great service.

Porthmadog really lacks good pubs and good places to eat, which is odd for a tourist town. Consequently, the Ship is VERY popular. It serves really nice homecooked dishes and is excellent value for money. Proper pub grub. You can't argue with it. However, it's strangely unfriendly and inhospitable. You feel like they are doing you a favour by serving you and they persist with a Covid era table booking system, which means you can go there at 5pm and every table in the pub has a 'reserved' sign on it. Incredulous looking people are turned away, despite being surrounded by empty tables. It's a strange way to run a pub.

Great food brilliant atmosphere and great staff will definitely be going again

We came here as were looking for some dog friendly pub food during our stay at Porthmadog. And we are so glad we came. You definitely need to prebook as it was busy! We got the two meals for £20 - a chicken curry and lasagne. Plus a portion of chips of course. Our bill came to £40ish but considering we had two pints of beer and two pints of coke, not a bad bill at all. The food was delicious!!! I would recommend the lasagne as it was gorgeous. If we lived closer, we would definitely be regulars.

Good food with proper portions. Very friendly staff. Thanks

We ordered two Sunday lunch take away meals, absolutely fabulous, best value for money ever. We had loads of meat, peas, red cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, mash, roast potato, with Yorkshire pudding and stuffing and gravy all for only £8, amazing value and good quality food.

Lovely pub. Very welcoming and do a cracking Sunday roast. By far the best mashed potato!! Will definitely go again....

An amazing experience this evening, food was hot, fresh and filling to the point where we have no pictures cos we were hungry and made it all dissappear really quick 😋 They were lovely too and very welcoming! Would recommend for food and just a drink.

Beautiful sunday lunch! Excellent staff, and good beers on tap. Definitely would recommend. Thankyou

The food was luke warm and the beef was too tough to eat. A waste of money.

What rude staff opening time is 2:00 and lights was on we trying to ring up wondering what's going on as we are out side waiting. We looked through the window to see staff stood there then they turn there backs and turn the lights off. Don't they understand the opening times are opening times ?? RUDE / poor

Visited after a local person recommended it to us, staff were welcoming and friendly food was lovely, hot, and substantial portions, the beef and ale pie was gorgeous, in fact we went back the second night would highly recommend and will definitely be going back next time we are in the area

No real ale available. A pint of cider and pint of fizzy beer was over £11.

Fantastic little pub! We visited here in July when we were in the area and saw a band called 'Brooke Stevens Band'. My dad loved them. After we got chatting to the lovely owner of the pub, Bridget, we found out that her birthday was the same day as my dad's in October. My Dad said he would love to come back to celebrate his 80th Birthday. Bridget amazingly arranged to have the same band on in the pub, especially for my dad, we put balloons up and banners, and everyone made him feel so special. He really enjoyed himself, and it made his birthday so Fantastic. The food in the ship is incredible, all home cooked and delicious (steak pie is truly amazing). Thankyou so much Bridget for your hospitality and making my dad's 80th birthday such a great night. We are all very grateful.

Had dinner here early in the week. Nice pub. Warm welcome. Good beers. Beautiful food. The Ship was busy but not too busy to find a table. We ordered steak and ale pie. Served in a pot with a very light pastry lid. Succulent meat and rich gravy inside. Served with veg. Crisp cooked chips and extra gravy. It is a beautiful steak and ale pie. The best I have had. Very tasty. Very meaty. Lovely pastry. The chips are nice and light... cut in an unusual shape... but great for scooping the rich gravy of the pie. Definitely recommend a visit. Decor had chadburns engineering too

Amazing meal, I had the steak it was so good well worth going. If I'm that way again will definitely go again

Booked for Sunday lunch. Friendly greeting and tasty food with plenty of meat/gravy/ side veg. Will defo be be going back.

Went in to check if they served Real Ale. None available on the day visited mid-October. Hence 3 stars.

Just called in off chance great food and pleasant staff

My sister and I were staying in an apartment at the marina and came in for an evening meal. The food was delicious for both a vegetarian and a meat eater. Reasonable price too.

From the offset staff were rude, ordered drinks then the contact less machine was thrusted in my direction. Had to ask the woman if she cared to let me know how much to pay! Overall no atmosphere and swiftly moved on to a decent venue, greeted by staff without the attitude. Thanks to the bar woman with an attitude I saved myself some money, had food elsewhere and most importantly a good night.

Lovely little pub close to the harbour Has four different meals here over four nights all where very good and reasonably priced good choice on menu too ! Service was very friendly and quick plus the beer and lager where nice and not too expensive

Found this place a few years ago and always come back to it every time we're in Porthmadog. The food is superb, Sunday lunch is amazing, the landlady and staff are just so friendly and helpful, well worth a visit for food or just a beer.

Wow ! Simply wow ! Seriously read on if you want a tasty, wholesome, homemade and fabulous meal in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere! We’ve paid a LOT MORE for meals and not been as happy as dining here! Great home-cooked, tasty fooder and plentiful plate of grub! Honestly, food (and team!) here beats everywhere locally hands-down! Highly recommended and encouraged 150%! You will NOT BE disappointed! Bridgette and the team aim to please and they sure do that! Wonderful place to choose to dine! Xx

Sehr gutes Pubfood, faire Preise

There's always a warm welcome at the Ship, and Bridget could not do more for us. We had a lovely meal, with a huge thumbs up for the ribeye steak. The meal came with all the trimmings and everything was cooked perfectly. Thank you so much for making it a lovely evening

Food was OK, friendly service and nice atmosphere.

Very friendly &4 lovely meals. A very good size without being crazy big.!

Cracking pub good choice of beers Recommend the bacon chops for a scran

Totally ignored by staff at the bar so walked out

We were recommended to try this venue. The long and the short, not overly impressed. We ordered one of the loaded burgers and the chilli. The order took 50 minutes to get to us after I asked if we had been forgotten due to a big order in the next room. They could have been more proactive and let us know about the long delay. The burger was okay, but the one I had 2 nights previous in The Australia pub was better quality, in my opinion. The chilli was a nice flavour but a bit sparse of meat. Maybe we just had a bad midweek experience but won't be returning.

Rang to book a table and for a birthday a couple of weeks ago and they said weren't taking reservations, just turn up. We turned up and said they were fully booked and I could see two tables with reserved signs on them. Staff were really rude and unhelpful. Shame. It used to be really good. They missed out on a booking for seven that night and in the future.

Probably one of the best kept pubs i’ve been to, great selection of pints, madri, neck oil and this cruzcampo. Staff are super welcoming, support this pub when coming to Porth!

Just had a Sunday lunch at the ship. The meal was amazing. Great food great place. I would definitely go again with my family. I would highly recommend this pub for Sunday lunch

Had the curry with rice and chips and was really enjoyable, service was good and the pub has a great friendly atmosphere.

Waste of time. Went here on a Monday when asked if there was a table a rude guy behind the bar mumbled to sit there. Asked if they don’t gluten free and he went to check, came back with a menu for us all and said there was limited options as it was a Monday would of been nice to know this either online or on the door otherwise wouldn’t of wasted our time. Was told that had to order drinks at the bar and someone would come and take your food order. Well let’s say THE STAFF DONR TALK TO YOU IF ONLY FOR THEIR AREAS!!! Seemed pretty ridiculous. Wasn’t told there was a delay for food and waited an hour to be given what looked to be pre microwaved food that I would get at a cafe. For a one course meal for four people and one drink each costed us more money then at a different pub that we had two courses. Don’t bother going there.

Called in whilst we were in the area. It is small but we managed to get a table. We were served quickly with our beers and decided to have some food. The food was ok and reasonably priced.

We went in off spec to see if there were any tables. We were told all tables were reserved. We then went to another eating establishment who whilst they had no tables made space with a stipulation on when they would want the table by. The service in the ship was shocking and I am glad we didn't go there as we found amazing food elsewhere.

Caratteristico pub con buon cibo e ovviamente birra

A lovely pub serving delicious home cooked meals. We hadn't booked but just about found a table. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The portions seem generous and a good price.

Awesome food! A must! 1 of the best!

Burgers were really nice, menu is small and there wasn’t a lot of choice for veggies. Food came quick

We went in for a drink only. While we were there we made friends with a couple who we found out was staying at the same hotel as we were staying Had a great night playing cards and drinking .

Excellent food, gammon and steak were perfectly cooked, onion rings weren’t greasy, chips were very crisp. Dog friendly pub with very pleasant staff, atmosphere was average however.

We visited this lovely pub on our visit to porthmadog. This is a lovely pub, spotlessly clean, pet friendly, friendly staff. Will be coming back on our next visit

Really welcoming staff, very helpful and friendly. Food was really well tasty and very big portions. We have a range of different meals and children’s meals. Very, very reasonable as well. It gets very busy, so book to avoid disappointment.

Great food, service, excellent value for money and dog friendly! 🐶 We were very happy we found the Ship Inn on our holiday to Porthmadog. We ate here twice and had great meals both times. The best pub food we’ve had in a long time, it’s a pity it’s so far from home! Would recommend booking as can get busy! We will definitely return when we’re next in the area.

Excellent pub for food and drink. Highly recommended. Friendly service.

Perfect food year after year great price do book as will not get in as busy great staff clean great pint

A nice place to meet up with friends and have a good meal, we had spaghetti Bolognese and fish and chips both very nice. Friendly service

I liked this pub. Food portions were huge, which is great. Also very nice taste.

we ordered three meals. the scampi, lasagna and a childs chicken chunks. all the meals were very tasty and njoyed by all. There was no problem with ordering a childs meal for my elderly cousin who has a small appetite. she thoroughly enjoyed the chicken...

Came for a meal when visiting the area and was told extremely rudely that we had to leave the table when sitting down as it was reserved in 1.5hrs...! I queried this and said we only wanted one course and was told flatly that they wouldn't be able to serve us and they made no effort to find somewhere else for us to sit. Extremely unwelcoming to any tourists and clearly a pub that's 'saved for the locals'. Take your business elsewhere!

Lovely environment, very friendly staff. Food was amazing.

Great food and very helpful and attentive staff.

Called and reserved a table. I'm glad I did this pub, obviously very popular with locals and very busy. The food at this venue is absolutely fantastic. The staff at the venue were welcoming and friendly. There was a wait for the food to arrive but well presented and full of flavour. On street parking is hard to find, but there is a pay and display at the rear of the premises.

We popped into the Ship in Porthmadog for some of their highly rated fish and chips. Very tasty the fish was large and the service good. Cask ale juice was limited so I had bottled Doombar. From the outside this place does not look much but inside is like a tardis.

Good food cooked well . Friendly staff that managed to find us a table even though they were busy . Lamb shank was great and my wife liked the gammon. Dog friendly definitely go again.

Searched fir a dog friendly pub. Stumbled on here. The guy and girl running it on the night were very friendly and welcoming Nice classic pub Food was great and great price Will deffinatley be returning next time!!

My husband and I both had burgers, mine was a chicken one and my husband had beef. They were both very good, with plenty of crispy chips. This was definitely above average pub food! The staff were friendly and helpful.

When you want an early evening meal, and other restaurants locally are closing, you are guaranteed a warm welcome and good food at the Ship. We were so pleased we found it. The food was excellent, and more than satisfying for vegetarians like us. We...

Goed eten en vriendelijk personeel. Een aanrader om te gaan eten.

The good was great and the staff very friendly, Hetty en Rinus Gazan

Food was good - we went on Steak night. Surprisingly, no draught beers available

Great food with excellent staff

Basic menu, basic food, good service and enjoyable. Bar staff were friendly and there is a little wait when the pub is full. Downside there is no street parking at the premise, but there is parking near by on the high street which is free...

Nice location, friendly staff, good food, fair prices. We didn't have a reservation and got a table prepared right away. We paid about £90 for a family of five with rather older children and were all full. Not cheap but definitely worth it. They also have smaller portions with less additional things called baskets.

Very nice Sunday lunch brilliant service

Lovely atmosphere and very helpful and friendly staff.

We visited this lovely pub on our holidays with our dog Freddie. We were greeted by two lovely ladies one called Bridget which we think was the landlady. She was very welcoming and nothing was to much trouble. The food was excellent. Highly Recommend the...

Did not book table but helpful staff offered us a pre-booked table as long as we would be finished by 7.30. 6pm would give us enough time we thought. Food came at 6.45! Child's chicken chunks were over cooked to the point they were nearly black!! inedible. Luckily ordered chicken burger so was able to give chicken from it to 7 year old grandson. Was not able to bring it to their attention as felt clock was ticking to leave the table! weird combination steak and ale pie filling with beef burger that my husband ordered!,Either book table or don't bother. Very disappointed

Did not book but friendly staff offered us a pre booked table as long as we were out by 7.30 pm. As it was 6pm thought there would be enough time. Waited 45 mins for food. Grandsons chicken chunks were over cooked to the point...

First visit to this place. What a find! Great atmosphere, staff were super helpful and chatty. Fishcakes were slightly disappointing but the steak was absolutely perfect and good value too at £23. Will 100% visit again when I'm in the vicinity.

Amazing food - we went on steak night & it was one of the best steaks I've had in a long time - staff were super friendly and the beer was great :) thank you

Called here in march, obviously a popular place as it was busy (Tuesday night) couldn't fault it, very good choice on the menu and prompt service, would definitely recommend and revisit A*

Sadly no real ales available even though advertising indicates this is a feature.

Visited whilst away for the weekend. Welcoming and fab food, the chilli was to die for. Hats off to the chef!

We had a lovely meal looking forward to coming again thanks

No longer serves real ale so if that's your preference don't bother. We left immediately after being offered keg stout and ales

Went for the steak night it was the best steak I've had in years wife had fishcakes and said they were excellent overall a very good pub

Food was really good, friendly service

Great food, good beers and reasonably priced beverages. Would recommend.

Great food and really nice staff if you are in the area you won't go wrong coming here. I cannot fault this place for service.

Good food, reasonably priced. This is a proper pub with a friendly atmosphere, decent beer and a landlady who knows her stuff.

Nice friendly pub. Staff great. Had a superb ribeye steak on this visit. Food is great. Real ale served here too!

Cosy little pub serving some good food Service was great Beer tasted great And steak deal on a Thursday was very good value Would recommend

Love it, love the pub, staff and owner.

Great pub with a very nice landlady. Myself and my family visited here a few nights this weekend with my puppy and we all loved it, especially Coco who was spoilt with fusses and treats. The staff were really friendly and the food was lovely. Highly recommended.

Great food, friendly staff, reasonably priced
