The Ship Inn in Gwynedd

We were looking for a Dog Friendly pub last minute and found this Pub. We had a large dog with us and seated with no issues - we went before the rush. The food was brilliant and all customers leaving were commenting to staff about the high quality also! Highly recommend! Only snag is finding parking - we just parked further down the road no issues!

We can’t say we enjoyed our experience. The food was poor to okay only. We were staying locally and would have used the pub frequently, but that experience meant we were not going back. Service was good. People very friendly.

We planned our holiday cottage stay around a village with a pub in short walking distance. We arrived on the Monday expecting as we’d seen all over the internet that the pub would be open at 4. Not the case at all. We looked at 4, not open and a chalkboard was advertising a bbq. According to the Facebook page this had been the weekend before, indeed the last one of the season. Come Tuesday we looked again at 4. Not open. We’d thought they’d gone away perhaps?? No one seemed to know what the set up was, just that it had had a few changes of management since being bought by someone else. Not the case as it turned out. Opened at 5. We were in with a few ciders and bottle of wine by the time this was realised. We did visit the following day and ate there on the Thursday. Which was very nice but it would have been nice to see opening hours somewhere. Suggest updating all internet information and perhaps a sign on the premises???

VERY disappointed.... Had a fabulous meal a few months ago but things are now VERY different. Ordered burger, pork and pie between us .....not the delicious homemade fare we were expecting. Be warned if you were expecting the same staff, ambience and food as back in July 2024 !

Beautiful pub restaurant. The food was delicious , it has attentive staff , friendly pub was cosy & warm good . Outside area looks great too . Allows doggy’s

This is a lovely little place that we had been meaning to try for a while - and we weren’t disappointed when we did. It’s a gastro pub that still has the feel of a friendly local and so caters for both markets really well. It’s pleasantly decorated inside and we were well looked after by the chap that took our orders. The food came quickly and was delicious with fresh local produce being used. I had the steak and it was without exaggeration one of the best I’d had in an establishment of this type. It was cooked exactly right too. Definitely a good find and one we will return to.

Excellint food. Fish & chips and prawn fakitas sat out in the lovely putsode area. Great value and quality. Chips were lovely.

Never been here before. Sought advise from Trip advisor. You were all right. What a little gem of a place. Warm welcome, friendly and helpful staff, fantastic food. Ocean pie is a must. Loved it. Thankyou. We will most definitely be back.

This pub was really close to our Air bnb and having read that it's really dog friendly and the food was nice we were looking forward to visiting. Popped in for a pint initially late afternoon and there was nobody in other than staff. Didn't get a very warm welcome and ushered us away from the table we were about to sit down on to which we had to re clarify if it was actually dog friendly to which we got a vague response suggesting we'd be preferred if we were outside but given it was raining they reluctantly let us sit in a corner table next to a laminator machine in the window. Although the place was dead a couple of people popped in to ask about food and it seems they only serve food on certain days of the week. We stayed for a pint but didn't feel welcome enough to extend beyond that. Maybe caught them on a bad day or maybe it's because we weren't local people.

Lovely village pub, clean and tidy, dog friendly inside and out with a good sized courtyard to sit outside. Staff very friendly and the food has to be the best I have had for some time. Chicken fajitas were very tasty, served with homemade chips (a rarity when eating out these days) I would highly recommend a visit

Wonderful fresh food. Friendly staff. Excellent service. Couldn't decide whether to have ice cream or custard so they gave us both.

Really lovely Sunday lunch today. Wonderful to see The Ship back on track. My husband had beef and I had chicken, all very tasty.

Visited here yesterday for Sunday lunch! I opted for the beef with yorkshire pudding which was delicious and melted in my mouth. It was served with creamy mash,red cabbage, carrots, broccoli, peas and green beans and I can honestly say the best roast potatoes I have ever had!! The food was so delicious if I could give it a 10 I would. Will definitely be back for more, Well done 10/10

Went to the ship for Sunday roast yesterday and it was lovely! All home cooked and plenty of it! Chicken was nice and tender and very moist. My partner had the beef and it was melt in your mouth beef Mmmm. Would definitely call again.

Visited the ship tonight on their opening night. Its now under new management and wow can you tell. The staff were amazing so friendly. Food all home cooked was absolutely amazing. Expected a few teething problems but service and food was faultless. Cant wait to return.

Gone right down since previous owners left. Unwelcoming attitude and disorganised service. Are they really trying to drive tourists away?

Great Sunday lunch , massive portions which included, mash and roast potatoes, carrots, parsnip ,broccoli, red cabbage, peas and leek, cheesy cauli, pigs in blankets, Yorkshire pudding, with plenty of beef, stuffing and a boat full of delicious gravy. All this washed down with some premium San Miguel. A great dog friendly pub with a homely country pub atmosphere. We will definitely be back . Thanks Alex and Faith.

A great local pub full of local characters that made our visit a very enjoyable one ! Bar staff very friendly and attentive . We had only planned a couple of drinks but stayed for hours due to the craic ! If you’re in the area you must visit . We will certainly be back .

I visited with my partner as we were in n abersoch for the weekend, we eat at a lot of top end restaurants but I can say the food here was far better than most of them it was as gorgeous! The Sunday lunch as amazing! We even met a couple at the pub on the beach and we brought them back to you for lunch as they we’re looking for somewhere to eat and we couldn’t recommend you highly enough! They also thought it was absolutely gorgeous and amazing value for money! The staff were also brilliant and really friendly we will definitely be back xx

Fabulous meal which was a birthday celebration. Loved the tapas style menu - we were hard pressed to choose! The whipped feta with honey was lovely and together with hoisin duck flatbread, prawn toasts, belly pork and patasas bravas - we happily tucked in between us. Mains were equally as delicious, large bowl of mussels was a highlight for me but all were thoroughly enjoyed. We were made to feel so welcome and with a mix of diners and locals having a drink and watching the rugby, the place has a lovely community feel too, with a brilliant outdoor area in warmer weather. The dogs loved lying by the toasty log burner, being fed treats by the staff was a bonus!!

Casual feel, rugby on telly, inexperienced server but very polite. Food a mix. Pork belly, chorizo, flatbread, halloumi all excellent. Lamb koftas dry and lacking flavour. Overall elsewhere the menu is a mix of very salty or very sweet. Some of these dishes are excellent but others quickly become cloying and sickly (chicken sizzler). Prices good. 9 small plates and 4 drinks for £86. All in all a pleasant relaxed meal - if chef is reading, just tone down the sugar content a little and include some less highly-seasoned palate cleansers, also cook the koftas 10 min less and add some garlic, coriander, molasses, chili and crushed roasted fennel seeds. Am being very critical as overall food was good, and would come again.

The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The sizzling platter and the teriyaki belly pork were particular highlights.

Four of us enjoyed a lovely evening meal at The Ship. It was the new “La Marina” menu, served tapas-style, with a couple of dishes coming at a time. The welcome was hospitable, the beer local (Cwrw Llyn’s Brenin Enlli on tap that evening) and the food was lovely. We wish them well.

Such a perfect birthday meal for a 30th! We all had the most beautiful food, paired with perfect drinks to match! All the staff were amazing

Great evening amazing food and service enjoyed our experience. Thank you to all the team that looked after us x

The Ship used to have an excellent home made menu with ample choice, but this has been drastically cut down to what can best be described as tex-mex junk food. Also it not only opens for food Thurs-Sun. The venue has no garden yet their post a picture of one on their landing-page, which is actually of a completely different Ship Inn (I think it’s the Ship at Llanbedrog). I understand their enthusiasm in trying to keep open a local pub, but on social media they express hostility to second home and incomers, who paradoxically used to be the main spenders at the previously excellent restaurant. Bashing one’s main client base does’t bode well for the future.

We have visited the Ship on a few occasions over the last two weeks as we’ve been staying in Edern. Every time we have been there all the staff have been really friendly and accommodating. We have had food on a few of occasions. The food has been really nice, presented well and good quality. We had Sunday lunch there (on the 17th September) and it was absolutely beautiful, the nicest Sunday lunch we have had in a very long time. Also, all the staff made our dog feel very welcome and kept giving him biscuits from a jar kept on the bar. We would totally recommend this pub and will definitely visit again if we are ever in the area.

We booked a table for a family of 5 with 2 large dogs in an outside hut, however we were running late due to our sat nav directions, we called the restaurant who were happy to still serve us later than their cut off time, when we arrived the staff were very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was great all round. The menu was a 3 course Sunday lunch (it was Sunday 3rd sept) we all had various forms of the meal and were all really happy with the quality and pricing of the food 100% recommend this place and will definitely visit again upon our return to the area.

Very disappointed with the price and small portions was expecting better with the way it was advertised.

So disappointed and disgusted. We come to Edern every August and have done so for years. It's where we were raised and moving away for work was so hard for us we made sure to come back every summer to visit family. We have so many good memories here at the ship that seeing it reopened made us so happy. Nothing better than a dog friendly pub for some great drinks and food. We were so disappointed with our experience. The food was fabulous but the waiters were rude and horrible, no order, no training, swearing and arguing with other staff. I was embarrassed just watching this happen multiple times over multiple visits. Its a great place for drinks after kitchen has closed and waiting staff have left but the place itself then lets you down. Dirty toilets, women's out of order all the time, some broken glass on the floor outside and the restaurant floor is absolutely disgusting, the carpet is so dirty and your shoes stick to the hard floor. Better atmosphere outside and beautiful with all the lights , the sheds provide privacy but would be better to designate a smoke area during the day to make it more family friendly

Absolutely beautiful Sunday dinner. Starters and mains were amazing. Had Malibu prawns, pate and soup which were all gorgeous. The beef wellington was lovely. Best carrots, cauliflower cheese and roasties I have ever had and the Yorkshire pudding was to die for. Really great value for money and so nice to see the Ship so busy. Well done to all the staff who were fabulous

We have dined at the Ship on many occasions in the past but had not realised it had changed hands. We realise we should have read the recent comments on TripAdvisor before we went. Other than the excellent local beers there is very little to...

Had a great meal on the 23rd August with the family . The service was great and the food was lovely. Lovely environment in the beach huts and 2 dogs accommodated as well . Diolch

Came here with family ordered food opened mayonnaise and put some over my food and had a weird taste to find out the mayonnaise was out a date since 2022 told a member of staff about it and nothing was done about it so will...

It needs a lot of work to get it right. Disappointing meal & overall experience Hope the new owners can sort things out

We booked a table for 6 and arrived to find that there was no table inside available. They had seated a family of 4 at a table for 6, no doubt a table we would have had, but as they had started to eat it...

The food was very good - I had a delicious fillet steak which was cooked perfect. We were put in a shed outside which was a plain & dull area furnished with a long table and chairs around. It really wasn’t suitable. The staff were...

We were put in the cabin (essentially a shed with a table and chairs in it), which seemed like fun with the kids, with heavy rain outside. The menus took a while to appear so we had to go in to ask for them. We...

A couple of days ago we had an excellent lunch at the Ship with family, so we recommended it to the rest of the family who went there for an early dinner tonight. they had a very long wait for food which is extremely difficult...

Tasty pub food , really good service, nice atmosphere, good choice of mains and puddings. Will visit again

Found out it was open during the day so walk down for a afternoon drink, only 2 at the bar possibly staff so ordered a beer and a glass of Rosie wine. Bar staff were quite happy chatting in the corner as we left, barman...

Enjoyed a lovely meal on Saturday night at the reopened Ship Inn. I was spoilt for choice with the new menu and eventually settled on the chicken sizzler which was delicious. The service was very attentive and the atmosphere is very friendly. Hope they keep...

It’s just fabulous that The Ship is open again. We’ve been back twice in a week and the food, drinks and service are perfect. New team with a new chef and we cant recommend it enough. Defo our new regular local 💚 Well done guys...

Visited the recently reopened Ship and had a fabulous meal, we called in en-spec without having made a reservation and the staff were so accommodating. Our meals were really lovely, and the staff so do helpful and welcoming. Will definitely re-visit. We did have desserts...

Glad to see The Ship Inn has re-opened. Very Friendly attentive staff and good menu choice and the food was Great too. Well worth a visit

We arrived without a reservation and asked more In hope than expectation if they could accommodate a table for seven. They prepared an outside cabin for and heated it up. They then brought us excellent food with great service which was gratefully enjoyed. We will...

We recently visited The Ship when we were staying in the village. There was really nothing wrong with the establishment but it didn’t have such a welcoming feel. It was a bit cold and sterile feeling. We decided not to stay to eat….so can’t comment...

Fantastic evening with top quality and quantity food. Four of us visited the Ship Inn on Friday 28th October. All four had different main courses. Having read one or two negative reviews, this was exactly the opposite. The food arrived relatively quickly and the portions...

We used to dine regularly at The Ship pre Covid, but on recent visits we were unable to get a table- until last week. We took friends,expecting a good evening. BUT - the service was enthusiastic but inexperienced - the menu was much reduced -...

We were charged £19.25 for a bottle of white house wine, which costs £7.50 from a wine merchant!!! Disgusting... the price... Not the wine!!!

Visited here last year and enjoyed the food, so returned in 2023. Again it was excellent, my ribeye with all the trimmings (including HOMEMADE chips) was fantastic as were the other dishes we ordered. Do feel prices are however rather high considering the interior and...

Turned away saying fully booked. The place was empty. No mention of when to come again or apology. Made to feel unwelcome

We were very pleased to take onboard the positive reviews (not sure what the others had in their bonnet on here). Thoroughly enjoyed the food in probably the busiest restaurant on the Llyn peninsula. From the look of the outside space, it's a real 'must...

Visited Thursday evening in August. The menu made no mention of any accompaniments, e.g. potatoes, with the meals. When the waitress came for our order we asked about it, and she said new potatoes, chips or sweet poatoe fries. We ordered three lamb rump with...

This is a great pub if you are visiting anywhere near the area. Food and service was excellent. We would recommend the prawns pil pil, satay bang bang chicken as starters but they all looked good. For mains we have fish and chips , steak,...

Went here with my family and wow the food was fantastic. i had the crispy duck which was cooked to perfection and came with buttery new potatoes (or chips) and veg which was all very nice. my father had the chicken fajitas and he said...

Visited the ship tonight! Wow what a gorgeous outside seating area! The staff were very friendly and so helpful. My partner had the fish pie it was delicious full of flavour and plenty of filling, the mash was so lovely and creamy, this was served...

Horrendous experience. Came down with my partner for a meal which we had booked with the pub. 5 minutes before arriving called to say we were running a few minutes late. The man on the call said no problem Claire we shall se you shortly....

Visited the ship tonight the food was amazing!! Best steak I've ever had and the chips are lovely!!! Amazing fajitas and such big portions but it was to nice to leave any! But due to the chice of desserts we had to have some, they...

Visited the pub on a friday night Ordered «ocean pie» for me and my wife. The meal was served with the «ocean pie» on one plate, peas and aspargis on a separate plate, and chips in a separate cup. The «ocean pie» seemed to contain...

We called into the Sip Inn with a good appetite after a full day’s walking at the end of June. The consensus amongst our party of 4 adults was that our meals were some of the best that we had experienced in pubs for a...

We visited the pub mid week early evening and was so lucky to have been given a table. Definitely book especially for weekend service. The food was incredible, I don’t think I’ve ever had a better fish and chips in my life. The portions were...

Must have called at the wrong time !! Staff were lovely , but not very attentive . Was not asked if food was ok or if we needed another drink ? It was not busy, but we felt like we were being ignored. The gentleman...

The decor, style of service and food all reminded me of 1980. Nothing wrong with that particularly. Food was tasty and very traditional (nut roast for veggies, otherwise choice of 3 meats with veg), service was brisk and cool, and unapologetically slow. Atmosphere was a...

We had a family meal here whilst on holiday, each had a different main meal and all agreed the food was superb. The duck was very highly recommended. The staff were attentive and the atmosphere very pleasant. Great beers at the bar also.

My husband and I had dinner here tonight, along with our dog. The service was good and the food was lovely. I had the Welsh lamb and my husband had the beef bourgignon and both were delicious. The puddings were good too. The place was...

We visited the Shi Inn, Edern yesterday evening (14 May 2022), where we have eaten over the last 11 years on numerous occasions. It's quite expensive for what you get compared to other puts and restaurants locally but it's convenient when you are staying in...

We had a Sunday roast here which was good but not exceptional. The service from the waitresses was excellent. There is a very nice outdoor seating area with huts. Everywhere looks clean and tidy. We will return.

Been coming for years and its always absolutely stunning! Always good service and always good food! Atmosphere is always good too! Good selection of drinks spirits and beers , good entertainment in the summer every sunday! Cant recommend enough Food tonight was 5* 👌🏻👌🏻

Visited for my partners 40th birthday as a couple and on arrival none of the staff were smiling. They pointed at our table to show where we were sat. There was around 6 staff working at the time and the only one I saw smiling...

Second visit here - lovely dog friendly restaurant. Wife and I loved the veg tempura. Nice flavours and crispy batter. Wife had the halloumi cheese risotto which was great. So much halloumi that I was allowed some ! I went for the lamb steak which...

If you want an intimate evening, a family meal or just to have a chat then book a chalet at no extra cost or if you want a nice pub atmosphere go inside. The food is really good quality and the staff are very attentive...

You couldn't get a better way to end a brilliant holiday than a meal at the Ship,really well flavoured food cooked by a chef who knows his ingredients, friendly waitresses who serve with a smile and a can't do enough attitude,Edern has a gem of...

Thanks so so much donna for a wonderful evening Your menu is fab The food is excellent The atmosphere is great The staff are lovely Can't wait to come back you should be so proud of your place 💗

Small road side Inn but pleasantly surprised by the reception and excellent food . Well worth a visit . All 3 courses we both had were all very good and reasonably priced. Recommended

Fantastic food & service. Highly recommended to all. Great starter, main & dessert. Service was fantastic as well during the visit.

Went here for a drinks a few times during our visit to the local area. Really excellent outdoor bar area with a great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Amazing meal. I never leave reviews but felt the food and atmosphere here was so amazing I had to leave feedback. We had the set Christmas menu- I had the pork belly, turkey roast and then the chocolate cherry dessert. My husband had the crab,...

We visited the ship inn today as a family of 4 for a Sunday lunch. A lovely friendly welcome from the staff and amazing food. The roast beef was delicious.. all the food was home cooked and piping hot. Can highly recommend the pub to...

This was the best Sunday lunch we have had in years! Such a cozy friendly pub. Highly recommend and will definitely return on our next visit to North Wales. Just fab!!

The most delicious food and great atmosphere. A credit to Donna and her team. A perfect afternoon with the family

Had our evening meal here twice because we were staying at The Old Mill guest house five minutes away. So glad we did. Each meal was excellent. Great beer, lovely wine, superb food, and lovely staff. Really, really good. Highly recommended.

Absolutely outstanding Sunday Lunch, loved it! Visited as a family of four plus a baby, great service and amazing food priced very reasonably for such high quality!

Visited Sunday lunch family of 4 adults and one baby. Child friendly and high chair prepared in advance. We're made to feel so welcome by the owner and her lovely staff. I had a pint of the guest Ale a pale beer which was nice....

Booked in for 2 visits this week at last visit in July, very warm welcome from staff, food as good as ever, we are never disappointed xx Sue & Ari

Wow, what can I say it was easy to book, great service from the staff, the food was top notch.. I would highly recommend the Sunday roasts .. we will be back :)

Had this place recommended to us. After a mix up with the booking (we booked the wrong Ship Inn), the landlady managed to seat us for what was an excellent Sunday lunch. Plenty of quality food along with good friendly service fro the young team....

Booked in to here this evening having read the reviews...it was just average nothing to write home about....we had the mini burgers x 2, a lemonade & a pint...£37. Think I'll give it a miss for the rest of our weeks holiday.

I'd recommend, like anywhere that's popular at the moment, to book well in advance to get a table at The Ship. I booked 3 weeks before arriving to take a holiday here with the family and we absolutely loved it here. We dined in one...

Visited recently .Great seafood. My wife had salmon,crab & prawns,really good.My 3 mini burghers were great too. Minor point it was difficult to book by phone after many times had to book by visiting the pub.Perhaps this shows how popular the the pub is this...

We knew when we booked that as a table of 8 we would be in two 4s. However we all ate at separate times. First table had starters, onto mains and second table hadn't eaten a thing!!!! Very disappointing. Staff couldn't care. When spoken to...

Covid has made it incredibly difficult for pubs and restaurants to perform to their usual levels, which is obviously compounded by high levels of tourists trying to find places to eat without pre-booking. A table for 6 at The Ship currently falls into that category,...

I’m afraid I have to agree with the previous comments, we tried and tried to ring this pub to book a table but no-one answered. We’d seen the good reviews and wanted to try it. As we couldn’t get anyone to answer the phone we...

We were on holiday in North Wales with the family and found this establishment online and were really looking forward to trying it with all the good reviews it has. I called literally over 40 times over the period of a couple of hours and...

First time at the Ship. We had heard good things and decided to try a meal here. Loved the outside chalets, absolutely fabulous to be able to sit outside with family and enjoy a good meal and each other’s company. We were a table of...

The Ship (Y Llon) is a traditional village pub, which has adapted to the restrictions of Covid-19 in an innovative and fun way, by converting the former car park into an al-fresco dining area. Outdoor (picnic style) tables are edged with individual cabins seating 4/6....

We booked a couple of weeks in advance to come here with friends. The restaurant is very highly rated so we were disappointed. Although they didn't seem to be busy service was very slow and we were muddled with the next table; staff tried to...

Delicious Sunday lunch for a family of four. Huge starter and portion of roast beef with all the trimmings, delicious. Plenty of choice for children aswell. Garden looks amazing with outside dining huts, flower displays etc. Reasonably priced too.

Seems like you cant eat even if there are empty tables unless you have booked in advance. We went there and found 5 empty tables. We hadn't booked so took ourselves elsewhere. Take note as I don't have Facebook and no TripAdvisor reviews seem to...

We ate here twice on holiday recently and had very good food on both occasions. The portions were very generous and the staff friendly. We ate indoors, but they have a very good outdoor area too with bookable "beach huts'.
