The Ship Inn in Swansea

Wow ! What a find ! Food is amazing, staff is polite, but cool. And the vibe is so cosy! I have my new favorite pub in UK !!

We ate at the Ship as a party of 4, 28/09/24. Excellent service from a dedicated and professional team of enthusiastic and highly motivated staff. The food was exceptional and the service likewise. A guitarist with a varied and comprehensive repertoir added atmosphere to an already brilliant evening . Please make him a permanent fixture. Really appreciated his music. Thank you all.

Last year the food was absolutely fantastic, visited every night of holiday but this year underwhelming and overpriced, such a shame

When we visited there was no fish available so we went to local chippy delicious. Beer tasty Warrior Ale bit expensive. Atmosphere didn't suit our dogs they just wouldn't settle which is very unusual. Seemed nice surroundings to us think it's had a recent refurbishment. 2024

Just had sunday dinner in ship & it was delish & so are the staff❤❤

Rain & thunder in Port Einon, but the welcome, ambience and food at the Ship Inn were excellent, very friendly staff

Loved our beers in this pub after half of our day's walking. Good music playing, amazing smell of food being served but just a really nice, pub. Going back tomorrow for my Birthday meal.

We've been coming here for 8 years. We've always had good grub but over the last couple of years we've found it a bit pricey so we only have a few pints when we visit. We were so glad we visited today. The food was delicious, the price fair and the service excellent. The rib of beef in bourbon was beautiful. Please keep it on the menu. We will be eating regularly there from now on.

Really fantastic place to eat. Great service and delicious food. Very good portion sizes! Enjoyed the local drinks as well.

Had the whitebait and chips washed down with a gower gold. Dog friendly too

Packed on a lovely Saturday afternoon. Nice pint, didn't take too long to get served.

Awful meal.. I ordered the medallions with peppercorn sauce & homemade chips £26. The medallions were rare, i told a member of staff the beef was rare & he said that’s how it’s cooked, he wasn’t interested , I said if I had been told when I ordered it the beef would be rare I would not of ordered it! The chips were soggy & not cooked. I left most of the meal. My kids pasta was tasteless with very little sauce & the skinny chips, again were under cooked. We will not be returning!

Great rest stop from the hustle and bustle of the beach. Plenty of seating indoors and out.

Excellent beer and good food! We would like to come back again.

Great food, lovely people, superb service

We loved this gastro pub in Port Eynon. Great food a lovely selection. Delicious mussels.... picture is only of half as i couldnt wait. Dog lounge inside for rainy days and a nice garden for the sunny ones. Pint was average price for a seaside destination. Great service. Thanks everyone .

Very nice service! Food was really tasty and we didn't have to wait long. Very child-friendly and accommodating.

Not enough characters to explain. First off the parking is terrible anyone remotely familiar with Port Eynon will expect this, you'll have to park in the beach carpark and pay £5 before you even step foot into the pub. We booked this for my mother's 60th, all friends and family came down (11 in total), we booked ahead of time and advised them we have a baby as well. They then seated us down, and we requested the highchair to which a member of staff rudely said no and left. We proceed to ask again and she said no because of health and safety (they had seated us in a fancy area that had steps to the table) we then explained we told you about the baby in which they huffed and puffed at and reluctantly moved us to another table which apparently was high chair friendly. We sat down and they give us the high chair - the higher chair came with no table for my baby to eat from, and the table was approximately 20cm higher than the baby. We raised this concern and said we need a different table or a higher high chair in which they could not assist with, this eventually lead to my baby smacking his head on the corner of the table. The prices in this place are ridiculously high, so high you'd expect to not have 3 separate people bringing their dogs sitting around you, and their dogs having a barking match, and eventually ended up biting eachother. You expect if you're going to charge £20 for a meal you'd have some sort of control over this. This is where the meal ended for us, we then unfortunately missed my mother's 60th due to poor service, the rest stayed however due to their lack of support for a child, and over support for dogs we were forced to leave. The rest of the family has then told me that service didn't improve even after this, to a point their food was thrown on the table without addressing who's it was. Bottom line, this is a typical sizzler pub, impersonating a fancy establishment. I'd save your money and go somewhere else.

Booked a table for 11 and asked for a highchair. Arrived and got seated, asked for the highchair, got told no you can't have one in that seating area and the woman walked off. Came back and said it again and we said we told you over the phone so why are we not seated where we could have one. Woman huffed and puffed which is unacceptable behaviour! We got moved to another table and were given a highchair which was pointless cause the table was much higher than the chair so my baby couldn't have food at the table! 3 of us walked out at this point, the rest stayed but said it all went downhill after we left as service was still shocking.

Always love a pint down the Ship when I'm in Port Eynon. Nice atmosphere and location!

Clean, friendly and lots of dogs!

Great food to be fair only 2 minutes walk from the beach

Fantastic food, great beers and live music

A very warm welcome was had, staff were extremely friendly and polite. The order was delivered swiftly and hot. Thoroughly appreciate and recommend this establishment.

Best chips I’ve ever had, better than chippy chips and the rest of the food was great! The medallions were tasty.

Fresh sardines, really tasty! Nice place.

Lovely food, dog friendly and a nice pint..

Just one or two beers Very nice location

Good pub food, great location close to the beach

Popped in on the Wales Coastal walk, GBG said 1 local changing beer but we were very happy to see 3 handpumps all with local beers on (Gower and Evans Evans). Both beers we had were in great condition and a decent price for s popular toursit area. Didn't have food here so can't comment on that

Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable. Quirky pub toilets, very clean and own personal space. Food was great, served in good time. Holiday destination pub very pleasant, definitely worth a visit.

Dog friendly in bar for food. Sausages for dogs on menu! Great Staff. Lots of other dogs. Great pub food and beers.

Had food in the main bar last night & despite being hugely busy food arrived very quickly although had to wait (very short) for cutlery to come out of the dishwasher 🤔 meals all good especially the short rib. Waiting staff a little uninspired but bar staff very friendly & efficient.

Friendly welcome and service, delicious food and a wonderful view from the terrace.

Great service as always from the team at The Ship. Great Ford and atmosphere.

5 star pub which serves really nice food, staff are great and considering how busy it can be cope really well.

We popped in tonight to have something to eat…. The food was ok but certainly nothing to write home about. The pub is supposed to be dog friendly but really they seem to just tolerate dogs! No dog friendliness what so ever and what ever you do don’t let them sit on the seats! We were most definitely advised against this… even though our little cockapoo was sitting on my jumper! But fine if that’s the policy…. However, one particular barmaid whose name I don’t know but who seemed so unfriendly… she was borderline hostile! I had to ask her if we had upset her! I am a nurse and if I treated my patients like that I shouldn’t still be working! We couldn’t wait to eat and leave … Definitely wouldn’t recommend this one…. Go to the Gower Inn….amazing food and very kind to both humans and animals!

Really blew me away , great steak, destroyed the chips ( don't eat chips ). If I had one pinicky thing to say it would be that some new forks are needed ; they bent and were hard to eat with. Apart from that; superb !

Excellent pub. Great food. Friendly staff.

Stopped for a pint before going onto the beach x Didn't try food but looked lovely

The pub/restaurant is a superb place to relax for a drink after a day around the Gower and food is spectacular especially the fish menu the staff are super friendly and polite and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome

Really nice looking place, staff are nice and really helpful. Food not so good. Steak was overcooked, the ribeye we ordered wasn't actually rib eye. The peppercorn sauce had no peppercorns, had no taste and had the consistency of water. The rest of the food was ok. Parking is terrible, be prepared to walk there due to lack of spaces nearby

This was a lovely pub, nicely decorated with a ship theme. Service very good, food was good too. Beer was kept well.

Great pub with good atmosphere. Good range of beers with friendly service.

Visited three times over a busy warm weekend in early May. Good range of beers including local brews which were very nice- recommend the Gower Gold. Staff working hard. Ate here once. Salthouse burger was excellent as were side of onion rings. Dog friendly in bar on right as you go in and outside. There is another bar/dining area to the left. I wish this was my local.

Such a lovely place to sit and enjoy a cool drink or two and watch the world go by

Good food, great service atmosphere ruined by screaming kids...... Not the proprietors fault

Excellent food and great service , knowledgable staff . Dog friendly areas.

Over priced, had Sunday roast dinner small portions and food was only warm not hot, will never go back

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

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.

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.

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

The best Sunday dinner for miles

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.

Fabulous place to spend the afternoon lovley a staff fab food

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.

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 👍
