The Ship Inn in Swansea

Good food, friendly service and good pub atmosphere. Very dog friendly Have Gluten Free options which is a massive bonus!

Nice place with good food and outdoor seating. Popular place for holiday makers in the village. It’s advisable to book a table if eating as it fills up fast. Local ale sold here. Good beer garden and dog friendly. No car park.

One of the best dog friendly Sunday roasts on Gower..

Found bones in the chicken curry. Salt house burger was definitely not an £18 quality burger. Was noticeably dirty - crisps spread across the floor and a broken glass salt shaker with a dangerous sharp edge. Curry sauce was almost flavourless, the chicken was poor quality and the rice was rubbery. The chips were straight out of a chip shop. Overall the food was incredibly overpriced and belonged more in a school kitchen.

Called in when on a walk made very welcome, end up staying for a meal, good staff good food dog friendly.

Disappointed price was double to what was online.

Brilliant pub great beer at a good price nice way to spend an afternoon bar staff/manager friendly

Visited here for my Mothers birthday, after finding it online after the Worms Head Inn was closed with no explanation even though we had booked at table. Definitely glad that we did, the staff were friendly, food was hot and delicious and atmosphere was great. Would recommend.

Staying in Port Eynon for a few days.... Had dinner here 3 nights. Each night the food was fantastic, the service was friendly and the ship in had a great cosy feel to the place.

The best Sunday dinner for miles

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Best roast dinner ever.

Awful Sunday lunch. Serve meat roasties and mash then you wait until your door is cold for your veg and gravy. After you've eaten your cold meat with warn veg you are then served your Yorkshire pudding. Meat isn't from a roast joint it's sliced packet beef. Total waste of time and money. Informed staff but no apology offered through and we weren't kept informed of what was happening. When asked how was food I informed the lady of the problems and she walked off, again with no apology or even acknowledgement of the issue which I found plain rude. Overall I'd say they wouldn't have learnt from this and avoid eating here if you like having your food hot and served as one meal

A very busy pub with excellent local hand pulled Ales. The staff were efficient and friendly. Food was good, but I've taken a star off for the price. Overall, a lovely pub in a great location serving excellent Ales and food. Would recommend you book it. It was extremely busy even though we are out of tourist season.

A little quiet but it is dry January for some .... Good food and service, parking is tricky best use the main beach car park and walk up.

Stayed a few nights at Port Eynon in our motor home. The Ship Inn became our local. Staff and owner were very welcoming. Ales were good, as was the grub. What more could you want? Oh...free WiFi, which was intermittent, but far better than my non-existent mobile signal.

Fabulous place to spend the afternoon lovley a staff fab food

Good pub for Sunday Lunch. Plenty of tables, and dog friendly. Roast Beef is excellent. Great desserts.

A quiet pre-Christmas visit, to what is essentially a summer pub. Well kept Cwrw Braf and Gower Gold on handpump. Nice unpretentious pub food, served by helpful, charming bar staff. Not something I’d normally mention; excellent unisex toilets

The pub itself is lovely. The staff looked like they didn't want to be there and the food tasted like I didn't want to be there. It is certainly not the King Arthur pub. If the food tasted better and the staff were more friendly it would be a gold mine.

Not quite sure what was going on as my experience wasn’t in line with others ? Had fish and chips but needed to send it back - batter overcooked and fish not properly cooked where the fish was thick , and where it was thin it had no taste ! Think the fish was poor quality and the fat was too hot . Swapped for the curry (without any complaints) but the curry (chicken curry) was also not great - mix of white and dark meat , but strange taste to the chicken and again not sure if it was quite cooked through . Maybe just caught them on an off day but at £17 for fish and chips would have expected a lot better. Just left the curry , thanked them but didn’t ask for any money back as I didn’t want to make any more fuss than I had (I have never sent food back at a restaurant before)

Popped in for a drink. Food smelt and looked amazing

Really lovely place, with the best chips ever

This is a pub local to us and I really want it to be a success but the last 3 visits have been disappointing. I've had to wait at the bar for staff to finish chatting in the kitchen. I will say the food is hot and presented well but often limited in choice. The biggest plus is that it is very dog friendly and it's the dogs that boost the atmosphere!

Really pleased they could accommodate a big group of 14 at short notice. The pub was really charming and they had put so much effort into the brilliant Halloween decorations. The staff were slick and polite and really made us feel welcome - they were busy too, so even better. Good beer and food was tasty (although could have been a bit warmer) Well done to the team there, looking forward to coming back😀👍

Amazing food, absolutely delicious, friendly, helpful staff. Great decor with a maritime theme.

Just had probably 1 of the best Sunday dinners ever down at the ship a lovely family afternoon fab food and drinks very relaxing

Very friendly and great place to drink and eat. We were made to feel very welcome. Dogs and kids felt at home. Food was exceptional. Cannot recommend highly enough if you are staying in Port Enyon, or in the area.

Superb Sunday roast and reasonably priced. Good service and good beers.

Lovely Atmosphere and Decor. Very friendly and efficient staff. Excellent meals with speedy service. Well Done Team 👏

Great menu, good selection of real ales and super dog friendly! Really friendly staff and a great atmosphere. A must visit in Port Eynon, especially if you have a dog!

Food was pub standard, well presented and the service was very welcoming. The atmosphere was cosy and friendly with comfortable seating and lots of tables. We enjoyed our lunch and will be back for more during our stay nearby. Car parking is limited but there's a pay and display within a 150 metres. It's a dog friendly house.

Wonderful food in a comfortable inn. He service was excellent. I would recommend the Ship for lunch after a good coastal walk.

Didn't eat but the food being served looked nice

Awesome pub that specialises in seafood. Great selection of drinks at the bar, many of them locally sourced. Food wise, good selection of quality pub classics and also a frequently changing specials board with catch of the day. (The landlord has his own boat) Lovely friendly atmosphere with restaurant seating on one side. Good clean toilets. Family friendly. Also a nice beer garden / outside seating area.

Great atmosphere, dog friendly & food was great however service from management was abit dry. No one asked how our food was, felt we were wanted in & out. Not as warm & welcoming as the past few years we've been.

Expensive food but nice pint. Lovely setting

Ordered a chicken curry was very bland, service was good and beers was good

Starters were ace. Looking at all the other mains coming out.:: no worries At All😎

Two delicious meals. Very busy and noisy, just not our scene (but it was August and a wet day, so lots of people in pub, not on beach!) but we were able to eat outside. Food great, which is the important thing. Dogs welcome

Great place but too pricey. Burger and chips for £19 is very very expensive!

A brilliant pub and restaurant.

Lovely little pub, good beer garden, very nice inside. Service was good in the bar, food was very nice, hot good portions, and reasonably priced. Staff very friendly and attentive. Deffo going back deffo recommend.

Really nice food served to our table by a polite young man. However front of house staff, young blonde lady and grey haired failed rockstar lookalike manager were rude. Not very welcoming and very cold...Victor Meldrew got more of a personality. Zero craic

Lovely dog & kid friendly pub. Close to the beach, plenty of outdoor seating in the beer garden which catches the last of the evening sun. Staff work hard & the majority are really friendly. I wasn't too impressed with one staff member (older gent) who was blatantly rude when taking my food order, turned his back when still talking & told me to get my cutlery & sauces over there (without actually showing me where). Asked for a coke & was given a diet, when I took it back up to change it he just shrugged & told me they only do diet. I would of ordered something different if he had said that to begin with. Food was absolutely immense, gutted I didn't take a photo. Fully loaded burger is to die for, I've also had cooked dinner here in the past. Will definitely be back on our next visit!

Eaten here twice this weekend, really lovely atmosphere. Child and dog friendly. Fresh fish available, locally sourced. Had a beautiful pan fried Brill tonight, with samphire and crushed new potatoes. Yesterday the kids had chicken nuggets (proper chicken breast cubes) and chips when we arrived, which was gobbled up immediately. Would definitely recommend a visit if your stopping close by.

Amazing food. Amazing staff Lovely Place and so clean and tidy *couldnt work out the fancy dyson taps/driers lol Cant fault it! Definitely returning

I love coming here! Friendly staff, delicious food, fab drinks and easy to walk to from the camp sites. Can't ask for anything more. Perfect!

We ate at the Ship Inn twice last week (May 17th 2021). On both occasions the food was excellent and the service from the staff (under COVID conditions) was considerate and appropriate . Gluten intolerant advice to one of our party was excellent and the place is also dog friendly . So well done Ship Inn staff !

Visited the ship today with friends we all had fish and chips the food was absolutely delicious and the drinks as well also the staff were so nice especially phillipa great service highly recommend will definitely be back x

Popped in today and had the special , mussels. They were the best mussels I have had. Big juicy and very tasty. We really enjoyed our meal.

Beautiful meals, great Gower ale and fabulous staff. All Covid rules followed. Will definitely be back 👍

Having wanted tobsupport the local testeraunts we were instructed and we made our order as advised by the staff midday for collection at 17.30 we were advised we would be met and food would be ready for collection.First problem which door where do we collect there was no clear signs available to follow. having eventually entered the building we were advised that we would have to wait a few minutes.2nd problem and 15 minutes later having now waited as instructed the 3 pizza's arrived.3rd problem in my view all a very poor quality and certainly over priced.4th problem having travelled to our lodgings 5 minutes away we were dissapointed to find they were cold.I would have given only one star but on the phone and when eventually served by a female member of staff shecwas most courteous.Would l go back and use the Ship again only if desperate!!JB

Wife and I had lunch outside at the ship today, Salt house burger. Best burger for a long time and all the trimmings were excellent. And don’t even get me started on the Gower Gold to wash it down! And the post lockdown refurbishments outside a brilliant too. Can’t wait to return!

Live in the village so Sunday Lunch at The Ship is a treat. Not let down. So good. Very safe with Covid procedures spot on. Look at the photo. It is self explanatory. Best Sunday Lunch in Gower. Nice one Rich and Sarah.

We booked in for lunch today after doing the Countryfile ramble for children in need. I have to say the roast dinner was absolutely incredible and the deserts were amazing too! At £18 for two courses it’s probably on the slightly higher end of the price spectrum for Gower Sunday roasts but the quality is worth the price. If you fancy treating yourself get here soon. Service was also excellent and Covid safe.

We came across The Ship as we were driving round the area on a very wet day. Signs were on the entrance door explaining the protocol and before you got to the bar there was a barrel with santiser and a track and trace process in place. Barman was very friendly, engaging in conversation with us, and our dog! The interior is very tastefully decorated and it is just a lovely, relaxing place.We were due to return for a meal, as the menus looked great, but things took over and we had to cancel, but we will definitely return.

Myself & a group of friends have just returned from a weekend in Port Eynon in Wales. We visited The Ship Inn for lunch when we arrived . The staff were very welcoming, friendly, helpful & super efficient. The food was excellent & the homemade blackberry gin was delicious. We enjoyed our lunch experience so much we went back Friday, Saturday & Sunday evenings for dinner and we were not disappointed! Thank you Sarah, Rich & all the team- you made our stay really enjoyable. Now planning a return trip!!

Really looked forward to our meal here as appeared to have good reviews. However, disappointing, overpriced food and mediocre service. Think they’re relying on their reputation and don’t need to make too much effort. Such a pity and won’t be returning.

The pub is tucked into the beautiful Gower peninsular and the decor is lovely and rustic with friendly staff and better than average food. However Covid measures are apparently non-existent.On arriving we waited for our booked table in a cramped porch where other patrons pushed past with zero social distancing.The table we were given didn’t seem adequately cleaned and a party of 8 men all quite obviously from different households were sat next to us.As a parting gift our pudding spoons were handed over by the bowl, not acceptable in normal circumstances.No masks were worn by staff.This could’ve been such a fantastic evening if these issues could be addressed.Please try harder and take your patrons and staff health seriously.

We visited on the first day that the restaurant opened after lockdown. It seemed as if the restaurant hadn’t been cleaned since it closed all those months ago. The table was greasy and there were bits of old food crumbs and debris on the floor. Also thought that quality of the food had diminished. Staff great, friendly and helpful. Come on The Ship, you can do better than this, if you don’t you will lose your customers.

Managed to escape for a few days away and this was the first place on our list for an evening meal. I had a seafood linguine which was delicious, and my wife had the fish and chips, which tasted so fresh that it was probably swimming in the bay that morning.Very well set up to deal with covid regulations and the staff seemed to know exactly what they were doing to keep everyone following the rules without appearing overbearing.

Pub is set up to deal with Covid and a one way system is in operation in the bar. We stopped off for a quick lunch and decided to have some starters only:Mackerel Pate - More a mousse than pateMussels - Superbly cookedWhitebait - LovelyChips - really niceLovely food let down by stale bread (certainly not fresh) and a slightly over blended pate, but overall very good food

Staying in the area and booked a table, and while service was good and staff were friendly, steak was overcooked and fish batter (in fish & chips) was soggy. Sorry, but think it coukd have been better.

A great pub with a lovely atmosphere, a mix of locals and tourists. The menu had lots of choice and food was excellent. The chocolate brownie was the best I've EVER had!Couldn't fault the staff, all were very helpful, friendly and attentive and a credit to pub.I would highly recommend a visit.

Called in for lunch yesterday. Made very welcome with our 2 dogs. The beer was good and the fish and chips excellent- up to the best chippy standards. We (and the dogs) were made to feel really welcome.

Visited here early afternoon as the Gower Weather wasn't being very kind! Was so happy to know dogs were allowed in the warm bar area. Stayed here for a few beers. Also had a meal here. Slightly disappointed with the £15.00 Cod & Chips. When it arrived the fish was very small in comparison to other photos on this trip advisor page. Also the batter was very soggy & just tasted so bland. The chips were nice but the peas had a hardened dry crust on the top. We had the Linguine Special which for £24.00 was far too expensive for the contents of the dish. There wasn't much seafood in the dish, I counted 6 clams,the prawns were very small 'King' prawns, a few cockles & 3 baby squid! It tasted nice, but for the price I expected much more. The pub itself is lovely, well stocked bar & very friendly staff. Clean & tidy. Will come back, just hope the food is a better experience next time.

Visited today in the rain. So accommodating as we had a dog. Lovely pub with good choice of drinks & good food too.I lost a special ring here today, which was given to me by my parents for my 21st. If found please contact the pub(see photo)Aside from this this establishment is a great place to enjoy whatever the Welsh weather!!

Very welcoming & happy for dogs to be inside. Food was very good & happy to accommodate a change for one of us on a diet. Staff were very friendly.

We popped in here after walking from Slade. The food was amazing. Great service. Lovely atmosphere high recommend

We have visited the Ship many many times over the years and this weekend has been no different - food was lovely and the atmosphere is great. BUT, although there are social distancing posters dotted around the place, this does not happen. There are track and trace slips on a table that customers are asked to fill out - only a few were completed in our time here. No hand sanitizer, no masks, screens or visors for staff. The one way system is ignored and not one member of management is checking on anyone’s safety. Mingling is still as it ever has been. I didn’t feel safe in here at all this weekend. If COVID hits this pub, we are all going down with it. And because only about 20% of the people we watched filled out the slips, you will not be able to contact people. Really poor show guys. Compared to other pubs, you’re lacking and showing no respect for your staff, visitors or this deadly virus

We love a visit to The Ship. It’s always good food, drink and service. And they have a great set up for visiting during lock down. Everyone is welcome, and the menu caters to all tastes and moods.

Proper service, proper food, proper job. Refreshing to find somewhere where they’ve made an effort with the decor with fun, tasteful ship / nautical styling without going OTT. Lovely to find decent service too with friendly helpful bar staff and attentive and professional staff in the restaurant area, Gareth was charming and pleasant and genuinely cared. Food was delicious and fresh; we had mussels and battered cod and everything was very tasty. Good selection of local beers for ales and lagers but I always wish to see more craft beers available outside of the city.

We visited twice over the bank holiday weekend, food was amazing, we were a table of 17 with 3 dogs, service was fantastic, I would highly recommend and would definitely return.

We visited during August 2020 during “Eat out to help out” - so things were understandably very busy. We were unable to book but turned up early and got a table outside. They did warn about a long wait for food - but in fact our meals turned up much quicker than they had said. We did stick to pub standards (lasagne and burgers) which were all good, particularly at half price!

1st time visiting the ship Inn. Lovely food and amazing service by the bar staff. Also a dog friendly pub which is great to see. Would defo come back.

Absolutely wonderful, great food, amazing service! We arrived at about 8.30 pm, tired and hungry, after being rejected from several places in Gower. Had a table straight away, cold drinks, nice calm atmosphere. Staff was nice and friendly, made us feel really welcome. Food was just gorgeous, everything freshmade, steak cooked just the way I asked, scampi soft and tender, fish fried in fresh butter, proper chips and nice crisp salad, just perfect. my 10 years old fussy eater ate 3 quarters all her food and asked me to take rest home so she can finish it later, it never happened before! Wonderful place, Totally worth 45 minutes drive, highly recommend X

I was excited to return to the ship inn,visiting with my friend. When visiting 2 years ago everything you expected from a restaurant it had great Tasty food, lovely atmosphere and concise and friendly staff. However, when visiting this weekend I was very disappointed, poor waitressing skills had to ask for cutlery, drinks and condiments. I had the curry, tasteless I believe frozen cubes of chicken Were used very watery definitely not homemade. My friend ordered scampi very little was on his plate. If it wasn’t for the discount I would of complained. More pressing my friend and i didn’t feel completely safe as I felt staff and other weren’t adhering to covid rules no social distancing, no facial coverings were used lack of sterilising tables and I had to ask about track and trace. Such a shame as I was so looking forward to visiting Again. Hopefully they will improve in time As this is beautiful location to visit

Lovely pub, friendly staff, well priced and REAL CHIPS which were excellent. Had a really good lunch in a clean and decent pub, I had steak which was lovely and others in my party had cod and they were very happy too especially with the decent portion of tartar sauce. Nice to see the local butcher turning up to deliver the meat also

We went with our family (6 of us) to the Ship Inn on Saturday. While the surroundings and food was great and staff friendly, I was extremely concerned there seemed to be very little adherence to the Covid Rules. None of the staff I saw wore masks or visors and I saw two tables pushed together making a table of 14 people. People were required to go and ask for a form to fill in for Track and Trace, of course, I doubt very much people went and voluntarily did this. The bar area was very busy and there did not seem to be adequate social distancing in place. Considering this is a busy time for pubs with lots of tourists visiting Wales you would think there would be a better understanding of the rules not only to protect staff but customers too. Wales has worked hard to limit the number of cases and it's a shame to see this sort of behaviour.

The food at the ship is great albeit overpriced. We called in for a drink during Covid restrictions and found a seat outside. The drinks ordering was very good. However, none of the staff wore masks/visors. At one point a waitress came to our table to collect glasses , I felt this was totally unnecessary whilst we were sitting there. She leaned right over us to pick up the glass that was on the table when we sat there. I asked her to come back when we left. She shrugged and walked off. I really want to visit local businesses to help get their businesses back up and running but establishments should be doing everything they can to keep customers safe.

Parking is slightly limited. Nice interior with lots of seating. We choose to eat outside, however we could have eaten inside even with a dog. They are super dog friendly. Good classic pub menu, we opted for the pizza, which were pretty good! Good value (even better with Eat Out scheme). Would recommend!

Was really looking forward to a nice meal out after the landlord said the vegan options on his menu were great and versatile. Arrived at the pub at 1715, 15 mins early and were seated by the polite waitress. Drinks ordered no problem. The starter, mixed olives and vegan pizzas were ordered at same time. 20mins later after the order, the mains arrived. I told the waiter we hadn’t had our starter yet! He spoke to waitress, who had clearly not pit through the correct order. No apology from her, all evening, at all. The starter came soon after. Them the mains came. 2 pizzas. How hard can that be to mess up. My wife ordered a no cheese fungi pizza. Which had mushrooms, garlic and tomatoes. It came with no garlic or tomatoes! We ain’t someone to complain all the time, but when asked if all ok by the waitress, I had to pipe up. She returned to kitchen. I then saw the same waitress chat to her colleagues, clearly she was talking about us, this made us feel uncomfortable. Not professional behaviour from her at all. The manager came over, a tall dark haired lady. She apologised and offered us a free desert. Our daughter had the mini doughnuts. All in all the experience was a bad one. Wrong order. Mains came before starter. Waitress making fun of us. And only a free desert. We had been to The Ship Inn. The previous day for drinks. Couldn’t fault the place. But this experience was bad. Seeing as we were in there for 1730 and no other customers were in the restaurant part, yet they still messed the order up is beyond me. More trading is required. And maybe a dedicated front of house. I would not recommended The Ship Inn Port Eyn

Ate twice in The Ship recently. Very friendly reception. Fairly good food with excellent beer. Would have given 5 stars but for having to drink out of plastic glasses. Not a fan of drinking good beer out of plastic glasses but more importantly I thought that we were trying to reduce plastic use for the sake of the planet. No other pub in the Gower that we visited that week used plastic. Is a rethink required?

I don’t normally leave reviews, but credit where it is due. We had an outstanding meal tonight (06/08/20). I had the Linguini from the Specials board and it was one of the best meals I have eaten for a long time. Superb food, would highly recommend.

Me and my wife recently spent a few days in Port Eynon. We have been coming to the Gower for over 30 years this pub has been transformed. Very welcoming you must visit.

4 visits to The Ship this holiday. Every time was a pleasure. Tonight we had our first meal inside for 6 months and it did not disappoint. Lovely steak, gammon and kids meal. Spot on deserts too. By far the best thing of tonight was Phillipa. Real asset to this local family run business. She was outstanding. Well done all. See you soon.

Great to have the Ship back open again but its pricing seems to have gone up a bit. £20 for 4 small lemonades and 2 Fantas is pretty steep (we did drink beer too which was fairly priced).Turns a meal out with the kids into something quite expensive!

We visited the Port Enyon and The Ship Inn following a recommendation and we weren't disappointed. In fact we were so impressed from the 1st night we came back for more. Dog friendly and very friendly staff. The food was a mixture of traditional pub grub but with some nice home inspired surprises like the stews and pies. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back again.

We were recommended this pub and it certainly did not disappoint - to the extent we came 2 nights on the trot. Very dog friendly and the food was amazing from the menu to the specials. Best food I've had out for a long while. Staff really friendly and welcoming.We will be returning.

We turned up last minute needing a table for 4 adults and 9 children on a Friday night and couldn't have had a warmer welcome! The staff were lovely, the service was quick, the food was delicious, the Gower Ale divine and the house white very drinkable indeed - a lovely evening was had by all. Thank you! We will be back.

Been a good few years since last visited, but wont leave it so long after our recent visit. A great dog friendly pub which serves really good tasting meals served with great hospitality. Cant wait for a return visit.

We stayed in a cottage in Port Eynon and visited the Ship for food, beer and wine a few times. A warm welcome for us and the dog and lovely food every time.You can tuck your self in the corner next to the fire or join the banter at the bar with the locals.Pubs like this need (and deserve) support, especially in winter as I am sure the location means there are queues in the summer.Try the pie of the day with a glass of red wine after a stroll on the beach in the rain. Nothing better.Kate & Steve xxx

All pump clips turned round. Says on Gower Brewery site that it is one of their pubs so why dont they make sure ale is available on a friday night?

2nd time here, and not disappointed. Cracking food, beer and hospitality. Thank you. We'll be back!!

The food leaves a lot to be desired....I had a rump steak that was mostly un cuttable but the dog in our party enjoyed it! Its the only pub in Port Eynon , I think?, Just get good ingredients in and respect your customers! Its not Rocket Science!

Had a great lunch here a couple of days ago. Mum fancied scampi and chips. Initially we couldn't find it but there it was in the kids menu. no problem to do an adult portion.

We visited here when saying close by at Culver House. Really friendly and the bar to the right welcomed dogs (4 in there when we visited). Gower Gold beer was really good. We had an evening meal -burger really good £12 and steak cooked well-bit pricey at £22 as not much with it ( chips and salad). Lovely staff and we hope to visit again.

My partner and I were staying in port eynon and popped into the ship inn to watch the rugby. We were made to feel so welcome. The landlord and all staff members were helpful and friendly. It has a great atmosphere. We'll definitely visit here again and next time stay for food as it looked really tasty!

We are here in Christmas Eve and it was nice and busy with others doing the same. Food choices were typical pub grub and included home made pie of the day (puff crust only) and fish of the day. Overall a good selection of food and drinks with good service. Imagine it gets pretty busy in the summer!

Lovely food and atmosphere. Fresh cod and chips was delicious and burger nice to. A little on pricey side for some dishes and drinks which is reason for four instead of five stars ⭐️
