The Ship / Y Llong in Ceredigion

Absolutely disgraceful attitude towards diabled people. My friends and I visited, having paid for an evening of live entertainment, only for the wheelchair user in our group to be abused by the owner, Lynne Blair. She physically moved him and his wheelcahir into a corner and called him an obstuction. When we then left a review, via facebook, she went onto my business page & left all sorts of absurb comments in some vile attempt to damage me. She is a nasty piece of work and the venue treats it's customers abismally. I will never return.

Perfect location. I was suprised when I walked in as I was expecting proper olde worlde pub, but they have decorated it in a rustic seaside theme. Staff and locals were friendly. Nice beer.

Shocking service from who i can only assume is the mother of a family run pub. Her kids even seemed shocked by the way she treated our Family. Shocking experience.

Amazing Sunday Roast Dinner; Adequate portions with generous sauce and Followed by Simply awesome Apple Crumble as dessert was a perfect end the getaway ❤️ I will strongly recommend to have a meal here and the hospitality was 5 Star 🌟 🤩 We would simply travel on a day trip, enjoy the local walks and have awesome food 😀 😋 ... Best wishes Sam & Avi 💜

Quite possibly the best homemade chips I've ever had ! Dogs not allowed inside the pub but made welcome outside with several clean dog bowls and a barrel of water.

Just returned home from holiday to receive a £100 pound fine for parking in the area opposite this pub. The pay and display machine was out of order and there was no Wi-Fi signal to pay on line. Absolute disgrace that this pub is housing the ANPR camera that is allowing this rip off or even providing clear signage warning you not to park there. Will not be back to this village, you do not deserve it.

A lovely, freshly cooked meal in a comfortable setting. The food was hot, tasty and reasonably priced. Some decent vegetarian options for my husband, and I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken and mushroom pie. Will definitely visit again xx

Nice place, food was excellent, landlady was lovely.

Stumbled across this pub and booked a table for dinner. Great pub grub, large portions. Attentive front of house, great service. We'll worth a visit.

Admittedly the shots are good, but we went for a drink today before going home and was told that they were closing an hour and a half before they were supposed to, despite no mention of such. We have been here a few days and most of the days we haven't been able to have any cocktails because of no staff which while unfortunately is fair, but the live music on the weekend was too loud (and fairly terrible sounding) and it took over the bar that you couldn't get a drink if you wanted. Would not recommend and apparently neither would anyone else as the place is not popular and always mostly empty. Also the beer is not well kept and was full of sediment.

Went to the ship at llangranog in evening several times on holiday sat outside and parked on car park next to it this car park seems to be a money making rip off they will fine you for any excuse.so please DO NOT USE IT.USE FREE CAR PARK UP THE ROAD AND WALK DOWN.I will never visit llangranog again.

Loved it. Food is wicked and fresh

Barman was friendly Place was clean good place for a drink

Staff were friendly, the place is cute and the fish and chips was super crispy and tasty. The apple crumble with custard and home made butterscotch sauce was divine!

Whilst holidaying in Wales near Aberystwyth we came across this hidden gem stunning veiws from pub carpark, Inside is fantastic nautical theme which passed over on to the menus the staff were brilliant,friendly,funny the selection of lagers ciders beers was unreal and very tasty the food was A1 fresh and delicious and quite a good selection even for children the fruit crumble pudding with salted caramel ice cream and butterscotch cream was sensational and probably the best desert ive had in a long time.And i believe fantastic sunsets A MUST VISIT IF DOWN THIS WAY IT WONT DISAPOINT

Today at Llangrannog I was forced to pay Just Park for parking my car at your car park using my credit card because the machine was no longer accepting coins. All fine BUT I was not forewarned that a text message confirming the transaction could not be sent because i was using an international mobile phone number. I had to use a UK number to repeat the transaction so I was charged twice for the same car. I would like my money refunded. It is your car park, you run a pub, understand hospitality, you understand the need for good customer experience. You are obliged to instruct JustPark, which you outsource the operating of the car park, to refund me. I believe you could do a far better job at managing the car park by finding an alternative payment solution BTW. You are putting drivers off visiting Llangrannog

Nice courtyard, staff super friendly. Food average, but price below par for the area so probably. Would deffo stop for a drink again in future

Good food prepared to a brill standard

My husband loved that his favourite beer Sea Fury was on tap here. Staff were friendly. The live band on the Friday night were brilliant.

Nice seating arear outside steep roads to get in or out of the village make sure you pay for parking right away or you'll get a fine

Nice pub and owner, Kim, who was extremely helpful getting the parking app on my phone to pay for parking. The parking meter was broken, not taking cash. People were getting angry not being able to pay unless you had the app on your phone. So you have to have a smart phone. Also you are only given 10 minutes to pay, otherwise you are threatened with a fine. We are still waiting to see if we are going to be fined, as I couldn't get the correct app on my phone in time. Won't be going again and this spoiled our holiday.

Had a wonderful evening performing here. Can't wait to be back next month

Chose to leave after the female Basil Fawlty impressionist running the place denied my family and I seating as we were only purchasing a round of drinks. The Pentre Arms is worth a look if you're in the area.

We loved the ship! Fabulous little pub, we were made very welcome with our 2 very young boys :) the staff were fabulous with them. The food was beautiful too and very reasonably priced, we are looking forward to going back x

We’re staying locally, as we have done every year for many years (we’re talking 30+ years here, so not just a few!) … This is the first pub I’ve ever come across which doesn’t allow dogs inside, which was a bizarre shock but no problem .. losing some trade for the evening. They claim they’re nothing to do with the notorious car park which issues fines often and unexpectedly, yet the ANPR camera is mounted ON the pub; so clearly something related! The landlady is rude and antagonising if it’s not on ‘her terms’ … a delivery to a cottage just up next to the pub was dropped off and the lovely Tesco chap got an earful from her. There is no other access and was there for 2 minutes… totally uncalled for .. especially when there’s no issues when THEY have deliveries ! They have also been playing (awful) music inside and outside the pub rather late into the night (12am) and also on Sundays outside all day. This is rather anti-social to people outside the pub which came down for some peace and quiet. We tended to split our time between the Pentre pub (would much more recommend!!) and the Ship .. and now onwards will spend only the time abit further up the road in the Pentre. Sadly as this used to be a lovely pub and welcoming team.

Very loud music coming from the pub until late in the evening. Not even any good. Doesn't allow dogs despite some reviews saying they do. Much better off going to the other pub in Llangrannog.

Soup is the best, chicken & veg with a buttered baguette.

Lovely place, friendly staff, and they serve Black Dragon cider, so the other half was happy. We sat outside with the dog and it was lovely. Only downside was the slightly-too-loud music, which was swing(?) the first time we went, and thrash metal the second 🤷🏼‍♀️

Friendly, welcoming staff. We try to visit each year on a family holiday and without fail this is the first stop for a drink. Lovely to sit outside and take in the sunshine, food is served and very nice. Wish I lived closer to have a drink after work 🤣

I phoned in and spoke to a lady and managed to book to go to the ship on a Tuesday evening. On arrival the ship was locked and no one was there. Online it said it was open and there were other people/ groups that had booked for that night, traveled a fair distance as we did, to find the place not open even though online and on Facebook it was open. Very disappointing and very poor communication.

Absolutely disgraceful service! Booked a table for 10 adults and 2 babies. Arrived only to be told that there was only one high chair in the place. Not a problem I said, we'll just keep one baby in her push chair. I was told that they couldn't accommodate the push chair as the restaurant didn't have enough room. Due to them denying entry to a push chair we didn't go into the place. It's not as if we'd just turned up, we'd told them in advance we'd be bringing 2 babies under 12 months. Extremely disappointing, will never visit again.

Such a disappointing end to a good day. We had ordered pizzas from the cafe nearby and had not been able to finish everything, so were carrying our boxes with the remains back to our cottage when we decided to stop in the Ship Inn for a drink to finish the day. Everything was fine until we were apologetically informed by a member of staff that the landlady had told him to tell us that any food which hadn’t been bought at the pub couldn’t be on the premises, referring to our closed pizza boxes sat on the bench, which we were occupying in the outside area of the pub. We complied and moved our pizza boxes to a spot outside of the fenced area where we could see them and pick them back up on the way home, as we had already bought drinks at this point. The chef then proceeded to stand in the top window and stare down at us, as if trying to intimidate us. Following this, the landlady came out and attempted to move our boxes while loudly complaining about people “leaving boxes outside the window” and claimed that the spot we had left them in beyond the fence was still on her premises. At this point we decided to just leave our drinks and take our leftovers with us, while she rudely walked past and said if the food agency showed up they would “take away her rating”. I suppose as long as you keep your rating, the loss of customers through sheer rudeness and pettiness is not a concern. Very disappointing as we are here for a week and were planning on eating here at some point, but now will avoid!

Really poor experience here food was inedible and what little I ate of the curry in bread gave me food poisoning and ruined my family weekend away. The landlady is rude, even after admitting the food served to us was unacceptable can still not find it within herself to apologise and be humble, the chef was incaozble if cooking chips, homemade burnt and soggy, my wife’s egg was burnt in the white and the yolk solid. Poor poor poor, the worst meal I have had in a pub by a country mile, all other options in the village will be better than dining here.

Visited on a Sunday and they were fairly busy. Had to wait a couple of hours before we could order food, but it was worth the wait. Dogs not allowed inside, but there are tables outside that get plenty of sun.

Wonderful meals and lovely staff. Gluten free are catered for and nothing is too much trouble for the staff, visited twice, I would recommend to everyone.

It’s a shame to have to write a poor review however this business is complicit in allowing the fraudulent behaviour of a car parking company by hosting their ANPR camera. The car park company is damaging the tourism industry of Llangrannog as many people are avoiding the car park due to unfair £100 fines. This pub hosts their ANPR camera and allows this to continue. For the sake of your business and the others around you, please take it down and stop allowing this to continue.

Fantastic staff (especially Malcolm). Beautiful meals, everything hand made from scratch. Couldn't have asked for more. Awesome!

Having read some of the reviews I was a little worried about coming here tonight. I did think the reviews seemed a little harsh. I was right to be sceptical. The owners were lovely and friendly and went out of their way to help. It was a busy night, Wales V England, however the service was fantastic. The food absolutely lovely. I had hunters chicken which was delicious, thick bacon, tender chicken and the cheese and bbq sauce just right. The fish and chips was delicious the homemade batter very light and crispy. The beef curry was spicy and plenty of sauce. The gammon was huge! The chicken and mushroom pie from the specials was delicious huge and homemade. The burger was also lush. I have to mention the chips they were handcut crispy and tasty, certainly not cheap frozen chips. The beer was fresh and my husband said the Guinness was the best pint he had tasted in years. The staff were attentive and the chef checked in on us to see if our food was okay. The decor is lovely and in keeping with a sea side pub. The staff bought out the birthday cake and served it for us and even found us some tuppaware to take the remainder home in. Thank you for a lovely night we will most certainly be back again. We were a party of 13 and all meals came out hot and together we did not have to wait very long. As for parking download the Just park app first before coming and follow instructions on line to pay for your parking.

Really the only sensible place to eat in town.

Last minute booking!!!! Staff absolutely amazing and friendly also very helpful. Food is second to non quick service attention to detail my partner even received a rose to accompany her valentines meal along with the delectable food and complimentary prosecco. Always have live music/bands on. Dont miss the opportunity to come here or you will regret it!!!

Lovely cosy pub with roaring fires with great views from pub garden. Lovely food and drinks at great value. The staff are lovely too. Definitely recommend.

Such a lovely place , fantastic Sunday lunch ,cozy atmosphere , definitely recommend

Beautiful sea side pub, with loverly views great food and nice friendly staff to greet you. The beer garden has a hatch outside for serving drinks in the summer and perfect for your friendly pet. It has a loverly bar and a game room for the kids.There is also magical restaurant area up stairs, you can even see the chefs as they cook.

Cosy log fires great drinks and food you could literally spend the whole day in this place , so accommodating

Great place to relax with a pint of Guinness after a walk! Friendly staff.

We had our sons 18th birthday celebration here - it was brilliant! We were delighted with the effort the staff went to to make it the best birthday celebration we could have wanted. Lynne decorated up the upstairs and was attentive and helpful in the preparations & for the whole evening. The food was cooked perfectly and a brilliant time was had by all. Diolch yn fawr i iawn. 🔥🙌⭐ (The Owen household - Llangrannog)

Beautiful food, great service, highly recommended!!

lovely friendly and welcoming pub. Great selection of beer and other beverages. food looked lovely, but unfortunately we arrived too late to try, so will be back.

Very friendly ith lovely roaring fire. A great range if drinks. Even local ales, ciders etc. Good home cooked food. Worth a visit !

Lovely food and excellent service. Will definitely be eating here again.

Very good bar staff. And considering how much we messed about when we arrived, performed a stirling service too. Unfortunately things were let down by the very mixed COVID rules employed by other staff members...sometimes....when it suited them! One staff member informed me that they didn’t require masks, as they all worked together?? He said this while walking through the pub without a mask.

Live music last night and a Fantastic Sunday Roast today. What a great Pub, genuine staff and a warm fire burning. Love it !

What a lovely place to pass time in.......

Nipped in here after a wet and windy cliff walk for a quick pint and ended up staying for food. Lovely local pub, friendly staff and a nice lunch menu, great hand cut skin on chips!

Nice and cosy by the fire and food was really good. Especially the chips

I have no idea what this pub is like, other than it has cameras fitted to there premises that supports a corrupt parking organisation. Check out one parking solutions & local reviews of the car park the pub apparently has nothing to do with. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Nice pub fabulous location and beach.....

A very friendly pub with great character, seating inside and out. Lovely Landlord and Landlady make you feel very welcome

Went to get some food. Car park ticket machine had a note saying card reader wasn't working. Camera in the car park took photos of my car going in and out. Sent me a £100 fine. 14 days to pay, appeal process takes over 14 days. Llangrannog is an absolute con which local businesses need to rectify if they want people to visit the place.

Food was lovely steak was done perfect staff are very welcome and friendly will be going back

Amazing place love it here the lovely land lady is amazing and runs an amazing ship 😁

Lovely spot to have a drink and watch the world go by... A proper pub with pool table too! Go, enjoy.

Up front, it was 20 years ago on a date now remembered as "9/11" throughout the world. My wife and friends and I had been trout fishing on the Teifi that morning near the old castle at Newcastle Emlyn (about 15 miles away.) Having enjoyed a pleasant, but unproductive morning, we returned mid afternoon to the beach village at Llangrannog where we were staying for the week. We stopped in at Y Llong for a quick pint... it was somewhat like that scene in old westerns when all becomes quiet when someone walks into the saloon. The lady managing the bar quickly appeared and asked if we'd heard the news. When we said, "no," she suggested that we walk the few yards down the street to our flat to learn what was happening. We tuned in just in time to watch the 2nd plane crash into the World Trade Center. Staggered, we returned to Y Llong, where we were met with the utmost sympathy. (I don't recall that we had to pay for a pint while we were there that day.) Far away from North Carolina, we never expected the treatment we received. To this day, it's remembered and deeply appreciated. Cymru am Byth.

Didn't eat here but a popular pub in one of the most beautiful beaches in Wales, the beach is a must so why not enjoy a nice pint before climbing up the hill to the free parking, yes free parking

Dog friendly outside, great food. Recommend the fish and chips

Was okay, couldn't sit inside but the burgers was good

Delicious seafood with flair, served by attentive waiting staff in a lovely well distanced alfresco setting. Perfect. You must try this understated gem.

Really really Over priced for a meat share it was just packed out with the bad skinny bits out of the salad bag it was enough for one person not for any more... the toilets my god the smell of wee made my eyes water smelt better when cleaning out a cat tray.. then that had the nerve to charge a £8 tip for the staff that did nouthing special. Absolute joke avoid at all cost..

If I could give 0 stars I would. Let's start from the beginning. We were waiting for an hour before even recieving menus. When we asking wait staff for the menus we were told "someone will be out to you" and made to wait a further half an hour for a menu. After we'd received our menus it took them a further 45 minutes to take our order, and once our order was taken a further hour and 15 minutes to receieve our food. The food itself was below expectations, a standard sausage and mash would have been better in a Wetherspoons... The prices were ridiculous, upwards of £15 for sausage and mash, and cheese is not standard on burgers! Once the bill came we were charged £30 service charge without being made aware. A sour taste has been left in the mouth and we won't be returning here ever again.

Lovely meal here. A bit on the expensive side but I had the best piece of halibut ever. It was huge and well worth every penny. It came with some veg but no potato of any kind. I ordered some sautee potatoes as a side which were perfect. We both had mussels to start. Again a huge portion. It was to much for us and we'd have one between us next time. Anyway I'm still raving about my halibut 3 weeks later to anyone that'll listen.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time Prices are very good for the quality We where lucky to be able to sit outside in the sunset

By far the best place in llangrannog to eat

Absolutely fantastic spot, didn't havebto wait too long for the food and it was to die for 😍

Lovely service and a very nice menu. It is a great pub with nice atmosphere. Highly recommended

Enjoyed a nice drink here with the family, lovely place definitely be back to try meal they smelt amazing.

Visited for lunch mid way through a coastal walk. Very welcoming and a fantastic sea food platter!

Fantastic specials board, friendly staff, the fish was cooked to perfection. Pianist outside made a fantastic evening Looking forwards to another visit soon

Great pub almost on the beach and the food was wicked. We booked a table in advance and it was worth it .

Very Nice Meal and Very Friendly Service.

Expensive but good food. Service slow, staff a bit overwhelmed. Would be more likely to return if prices were cheaper.

Great alfresco lunch, friendly staff, good selection of beers, ciders & cocktails.

Great menu for lunch. Very pleasant area outside with good seating and flowers in pots. Good beer and warm welcome. A very pleasant experience in a great location.

Been here a few times this week and a lovely welcome from both the land lady and her team ..... Lyn on the bar particularly pleasant, food was Really nice too, will definitely visit again

Haven't eaten here but the location is great. Outside seating with a sea view across the car park. Our default pub on a 3 night stay.

Really nice pub Food looks great Staff friendly

Nice and cosy place. Interesting experience with booking , service, etc. (similar to the comments below)

Great atmosphere, really friendly bar staff and in a fantastic location

Kitchen being renovated when we were there but they did have a bbq over the whole of the weekend and the food was delicious, great spinach and lentil burger.

Friendly staff, very clean and tidy

Had a nice welcome and a good selection of beers in a covered beer garden. Quiet when we visited but can’t fault the experience we had.

We come to Llangrannog every year and every year there seems to be new management in The Ship. This year's Landlady spent most of her time wandering around with a clipboard kicking paying customers off tables that were "reserved" for fictional customers who might want to eat (none of whom materialised in the time we were sat down). As it was well past lunch time this seemed like an odd tactic and meant there were loads of free outside benches but loads of people corralled into a smaller area in the road where most had to stand. All in all made for a pretty unwelcoming environment and we would have stayed much longer and bought a lot more drinks if we had just been left to it. Perhaps some signs on tables informing people that those eating have priority would be a better way to work. Save yourself the hassle and go to the Pentre instead, Mike is great and the food is good too.

Great service, great food and very friendly staff, especially the tall barman, he knows his ales 🍺! We had a lovely last night in The Ship and loads of interesting drinks (the shots were excellent). Would definitely recommend this place for food and drinks. Bokke, Bokke, Bokke, Oi, Oi, Oi!!! #bustamove

Tried to come here for lunch this weekend. On arrival we were welcomed (initially) and ushered inside when we said we were hoping for food. It was only when we got inside that we were told that was £35 for steak and lobster (it was more complicated than this, we asked for clarity on there system 3 times). This was really abit much for our budget so asked how much for just a steak - apparently this is not allowed (though it seemed it was when it was explained). We decided to just have drinks instead. The attitude towards us changed at this point. We were then told that if we were only having drinks we had to sit outside. Thats fine no problem, we went outside with our somewhat expensive drinks. We sat down outside and were moved again to a group of benches further away. This was not done in a friendly manner there was really no need to be so rude, we were not trying to be difficult. The bench area we were directed to was quite busy and the benches were all next to each other and less than a metre appart facing (this is still a covid requirement) so we decided to stand up away from the benches so we were not in close proximity to other people. While we stood by the benches we witnessed other people sitting in the area we had been kicked out of.... With on drinks and not waiting for food. It seems our lack of budget offended. All in all we were disappointed with the price, this is a very small town it simply doesn't suit and the unclearness and general rudeness was unpleasant to experience. We bought 4 freshly stone baked pizzas for the same price as a single meal (not including drinks) in this place. My peroni was nice.

Constructive feedback as seemingly under new management and with every heartfelt sympathy for how hard it has been for hospitality this past year or so. Friends of mine approached earlier enquiring as to whether we could get some food here this early evening. Were left the impression that we could. On arrival, instead of being presented with a menu, it appeared to be a choice of Steak and Lobster or Steak and Lobster, for an outlay well beyond our budget. On realising this, but deciding to forego dinner and have a drink here nonetheless, we were then told that we could not sit inside for this. Shortly after settling on an outside picnic bench, we were then moved on once again, to an even smaller enclosure of picnic benches out on the margins with a number of other people who I suspect may have just been after the same simple thing. This was the most populous area of the whole pub. Llangrannog is a relaxed bucket and spade sort of destination. I really think it would be wise to make clear to potential passing trade what the offering is first, rather than drawing people in, and then rudely treating them like 2nd class citizens when they realise that they cannot actually afford what is on offer.

Went to have a nice lunch but when we went in we were not told that the only thing on the menu was lobster and steak (you heard me not on or the other but both) £35! Each with there being the most confusing options so we dicided to have some beers instead just to be told to go outside so me and my group of 4 decided OK not great weather but we can get a table with an umbrella just to be told that we could only sit on benches at the other end of the outside area so basically the car park with no covid restrictions in place no 2 meters spacing and no one was sitting on the tables in the front section, I'm just saying when we come out of covid do not be rude to your clients and give people a menu. This used to be a great pub but if the owners don't listen to their punters it will be closed in 12 months.

Pricing of Peroni is disgusting, rude attitude and condescending

Just the perfect rural villages pub, with the added bonus of being right on a beach, great food, drink and locals, it's got the lot.

Great service and a good selection of Lager

Only went for food, outside due to Covid-19. Very well organised, large portions of lovely, and not expensive, food.

Stopped for lunch on 24th august 2020 lovely Ham egg and chips, two lovely young workers but...... my god what a very very rude older gentleman (presuming he was the owner) he let the place down big time!
