Y Llong / The Ship in Ceredigion

Absolutely disgraceful attitude towards disabled people. My friends and I visited, having paid for an evening of live entertainment. However, as I am a wheelchair user I was verbally abused by the owner. She physically moved me and my wheelchair into a corner and called me an obstruction. When I then left a review, via facebook, she went onto my business page & left all sorts of absurd comments in some vile attempt to damage me. She is a nasty piece of work and the venue treats it's customers abysmally. I will never return.

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.

So disappointed that this pub had closed down. We visited in October 2022 with our French bulldogs in tow and received the best of welcomes. We decided to take another break in the area this month (September 2023) and top of our list was a return to the ship inn at Llangranog, so disappointed to return and find you closed down as there is nothing else in the area. We get it times are hard in hospitality and hope that someone is able to reopen this great pub and make it work.

A nice pub serving good food. The staff were helpful and efficient.We were pleased to have a table overlooking the sea on our first night. We ate here two evenings on our recent holiday. I enjoyed the sea bass, and chicken. My husband was pleased to find crab on the specials board. I would have liked a choice of vegetables in addition to the ubiquitous salad, but overall plenty of choice.

Thank you for a lovely warm welcome and fantastic food well worth the 2hour drive on New year's Day. Friendly staff and owners both my young children were happy to sit an chat to the staff. Highly recommend the chicken & mushroom pie and also the crumble was like a piece of heaven! Very reasonable prices especially for the high quality food served. We will definitely return soon.

Firstly don’t allow dogs (the reason the place is empty). Make you feel awkward from the moment you enter. Didn’t eat there and couldn’t wait to leave. We are local to the area and have been coming for years, only went in as we didn’t have our dogs. Upset our toddler as would not let him eat a fruit snack at the table because they have (a very expensive chef and must eat their food and it’s their policy) We were the only people there. The lady clearly has no knowledge of the industry let alone customer service. Glad we left and went back to the superb pub Pentre Arms on the front. Homely welcome as always. Don't give them your business. Wish I had read all the other negative reviews on trip advisor before putting my money in their till.

No dogs allowed inside is a bit of an outdated rule . It meant we couldn’t go in, even though it was empty and very cold outside.

Been coming to Llangrannog for many years, first time in the Ship since new ownership. The service was horrendous. Apart from the male barman (who was knowledgeable and pleasant) the owner and the female bar staff were grumpy, unpleaseant and unwelcoming. Will not come back until the ownership changes again! What a shame :-(

No dogs allowed inside 🙄 We went in with a few kids for a quick drink on Sunday afternoon and were made to feel very unwelcome. Felt like we were being watched for bad behaviour. My advice….go to the Pentre

Staff, beer and food 10/10. Especially appreciated the help getting the car park app downloaded and parking paid for. WiFi required as there is no mobile service in this location.

Things looked ominous from the start when questioned about the pie female server did not understand the concept of British pies. Fish Pie v Chicken Pie. We ended up ordering 3 x pie of the day and from the specials board, lamb stew. After quite a few minutes she came back and said the pies were off. So we chose two burgers and a fish pie. After quite a lengthy wait The food arrived. The burgers were all really bad quality the cheese on too plasticky. The chips, which was supposed to be homemade triple cooked were just greasy normal frozen and empty. My friend says it will be a long time before she eats a burger again after the awful taste left by this. The fish pie was okay but it was just mashed potato with a bit of sauce, cheese on top and a few fishy bits. The lamb stew was quite exceptional. The size of the portion was way less than a normal can of soup. It was about half an inch of watery liquid in the bottom of a bowl with three very small pieces of lamb about the size of a dice and a few vegetables. It was supposed to come with Chiabatta but it came with French stick which was okay but for £15 there was probably no more than £.50 worth of food in the soup. Very surprised how this place canoe out with a 4 star rating.

Walked in but could barely get through the barrage of people standing in the doorway. Admittedly the pub itself isn’t huge but the doorway should at least be kept clear. Managed to push our way through to the bar only to stand there for 20 minutes and be ignored by the bar staff while all 3 of them served one customer. Left eventually due to being parched. Would not recommend.

I had three meals at the Ship Inn. The steak was fantastic. Cooked to exactly how I like it and tasted like heaven. The pint of prawns and seafood board consisting of cockles, white bait, crab meat and prawns was a lovely seafood experience at the beach. The kiddies sausage and chips filled me and I’m a big kid. I regretted not having the fish and chips which looked really good. Saturday nights live music was a treat and added so much atmosphere to an already lively pub. All the staff were friendly and obliging, making it excellent service. Coming from London, I cannot fault the meal prices especially as I had live entertainment thrown in. Highly recommend The Ship Inn.

The menu reflects not the description of the Inn here - if you like fish, it's the wrong place. I'm wondering why it is a recommended place for eating seafood. Meals are OK, but over priced.

We came here twice and both occasions were well looked after and had some excellent food. Recommend the local ale – the Ship’s own brew. Service was great, the staff were friendly and helpful and if/when we are back here again we would certainly make further visits

We came for a drink here, which was lovely. Full of happy local people celebrating the life of a legend from the village. What we witnessed was shocking by the leasee of the establishment. She accused a local man of bringing football hooligans from the other (better) public house into her pub. So i found out some facts. There was no complaints from the lessee with regards to the £100s of pounds being spent by these lovely local people who were also appalled and disgusted with this treatment of the lovely local people of Llangrannog. The local legend is named Melvyn Zerk who welcomed these leasees into the village when they arrived like he always did for everyone and a week before he died gave them beautiful lillies from his lilypads on his lake because that was the kind man he was. I for one will never come back to drink at the Ship until they learn to be less judgemental, respectful, kind and caring about other people. Winter will be here soon you will need them more than they will need you.

What a fantastic place discovered purely by chance fantastic food staff with a great vibe around the place and massive thanks to finding us a table even though they were fully booked

Rude, unreasonable manager. Not a place I’d return to spend money. Need some lessons in business management it seems. It’s just a pub in wales, get over yourself.

Had a really tasty couple of meals here. We were able to sit outside (through choice). Lovely fish pie and gammon, pineapple and chips. Good selection of drinks on offer. Friendly service. Menu seems to be on Facebook posts which took me a while to...

Reviews of the Ship rarely if ever mention that as well as the beer and food it is a great music venue. Weekends find a variety of bands and solo singer songwriters performing either inside or in the outside area. There is an eclectic mix...

Absolutely awful experience. Me and my boyfriend visited for a meal during our holiday. Made a trip out of the way especially to visit here. For starters we were greeted with a woman who didn’t have a clue what she was doing, told us we...

Lovely pub, looked nice inside but due to not being dog friendly inside we sat out in the beer garden. A real sun-trap & a wonderful time to spend an afternoon, but at £6 a pint it explained why this place was empty compared to...

Called into this pub ddringo a stay at Gwbert on sea. Llangrannog is a 20 min drive. A lovely village, with a stunning beach. Y Llong (The Ship) was an old haunt of mine, so it was nice to return after over 20 years. Very...

We ( family of 5) had an excellent meal at Y llong/ The Ship this evening. Delicious steak, fish and chips, Hunter’s Chicken and fish pie. The soups were good too. Very friendly and efficient bar staff despite being very busy serving on the patio...

Excellent lunch Cod Gougons and Chips plus two different Pints of Cider! It's getting to be our favourite pub! 😋😋 Chris & Kay

As regular victors to Llangrannog (7 - 8 times a year) we went to the Ship this weekend only to find they no longer accept dogs. What a retrograde step. We typically visit with about 6 friends and now sadly find our once favourite pub...

We ordered two share baskets which came without meatballs and scampi (which the menu then stated it included). When queried with the waitress we were told they ‘ran out’ but replaced them with chicken. We had two pieces chicken in our basket- this included the...

It seems I have to try again to leave a review as my last one is still pending, unsure why really as no inflammatory language was used although our experience warranted it. It’s safe to say you can disregard any photos of the food as...

Visited twice in a week, absolutely gorgeous food and service, very friendly staff, even made a fuss of my husband on his Birthday. Last but certainly not least is the fact that they do gluten free options which not every place do, I would recommend...

Attended twice this week for a family meal, so pleased the first time that we decided to book in again for 2 nights later. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent, second night was for my dad's birthday and the staff were kind...

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...

By a country mile this is the worst food and service we have ever received in our entire lives across the entire planet!! I have never left a poor review before ever! but honestly if you have a chance to eat here or go hungry,...

Amazing tasty Sunday lunch ,The staff were absolutely brilliant , professional and so attentive and not intrusive . Well worth a visit

Called in for a coffee stop and was really impressed with the choice of delicious cakes ,the 4 of us each had a different one all were excellent and so was the coffees. The owner was very pleasant and would call again when in the...

Popped in for a couple of pints of real ale and found it had new owners from when we last visited over 18months ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find four local real ales on and ended up staying for lunch which meant I had...

Such a massive disappointment to the last time we visited.No decent meals on the menu just a sausage roll or baguette which you could have in a cafe.I had the beef curry which tasted like a cawl, no taste of curry whatsoever.Never goin again!!,and will...

Such a shame dogs are now banned. We used to eat and drink just here. Rather a backwards step in this day and age. It's not like they are busy either. In fact the times we passed there was no-one in there and the Pentre...

Food was decent (so three stars as at least it was nice) but don't bother if you're veggie , there are literally no meat free baguettes on offer (?!), we had to order a ham, cheese and tomato without the ham (this was definitely considered...

Such a disappointment. We’ve been here many times before, and always had great service & wonderful food, lots of fresh fish and lots of freshly cooked main meal options to choose from. We arrived today to find a complete change: indifferent staff, and the food...

Spent a lovely Friday evening having a drink outside. Staff and owners were lovely and entertained by a fabulous young singer/pianist. Fab place!

This appeared to be a nice pub with a vocalist/pianist playing outside although the drinks are very expensive. What isn't nice about it is that there is a car number recognition camera situated on its outside wall serving the adjacent privately owned car park for...

Called in here for lunch after a walk to llangrannog. It was a nice day, and peak season so all outside tables were full but plenty of room inside. Had a main of lamb and cockles. On a weeks holiday in this area it was...

Had a lovely meal , fresh crab starter and prawns then fish platter , kids Food was great, lovely staff - friendly and accommodating.

This place has changed hands since we last came, a temporary reduced menu is in place. The burgers were excellent. The sausages were lovely (prepared by the local butcher) but severed with one sad piece of cabbage. The sharing platters are so overpriced and hardly...

Stopped here for a drink and some food after a long walk only to find overpriced BBQ food and London price drinks. Owner was happy to chat all day until I asked if we could share the BBQ platter with my wife as it was...

Delicious meal of fish and chips, minted peas and ham egg and chips, they were really well cooked and very tasty. For dessert I had fresh blackberry and apple crumple with an amazing butterscotch sauce. Yum!! Staff were really attentive and helpful at all times!...

Overpriced for a sharing platter where it was enough for for person and it was juts packed out with the bad bits of a salad bag. The the toilets was so bad and smelt terrible the smell of we made my eyes water hate to...

We stopped for food during a busy lunch period. Beer was spot on and food was fantastic. Little pirate ( kids option) was great and all considering it's a temporary menu while they are waiting for equipment to be installed. Couldn't fault it Will be...

If you designate a table reserved from 18:30 that means you can occupy the table pretty much up until 18:30. The very stupid landlord had no idea of such a concept, so at 18:00 they start to badger you. They are clueless as to how...

Food was lovely and fresh. Starters were reasonably priced but mains seemed excessive in some cases. Portions were ok size. Unfortunately when it came to paying we rounded up the cost of our meal to allow for a tip and hadn’t noticed a service charge...

My wife and I have just had a lovely meal at The Ship Inn. The Fish was so nice and fresh. Great welcome and eager to assist with some of our dietary needs. Highly recommended. Thank you.

So pleased we were able to secure a table at The Ship/Y llong on the last evening of our stay in the village. We chose the pint of prawns starter and the seafood sharing platter, both of which were fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We...

A lovely find.....not expecting to get a last minute booking today but they kindly squeezed us in and so glad they could. Carefully following covid rules to the letter, but made to feel very relaxed and comfortable environment. Under new ownership since January, it was...

Six of us dined inside which we thought may be pushing our luck but both staff and facilities were well organised so it was a very enjoyable and relaxing evening. Got the last portion of moule, gigantic starter with loads of cream and steamed perfectly....

My partner and I checked out all of the eating options in Llangranog, each being unappealing for one reason or another. Our last stop, the Ship Inn, ended up ticking all the boxes and then surpassing our expectations. The Ship Inn was welcoming, clean and...

Enjoyed an excellent meal at this friendly pub while staying in the village on a long-awaited break. The hake, chips, minted peas with capers and tartare sauce was excellent at £14.50. My partner's meal of a trio of different sausages with mash, gravy and courgettes...

Visited with my partner and sister whilst staying in the village. New owners are South African, very hospitable and friendly. Totally covid compliant, the owners are in the process of making alterations to the upstairs and still await an oven. However the trio of sausages...

My family and I spent some lovely evenings here on the recent May bank holiday weekend. The barbecue food was great and we were made welcome. Would recommend this as an uplifting experience which is a stones throw from the glorious Llangranog beach. That’s a...

Stopped here for lunch. Had a great menu really reasonably priced large portions and tasted delicious. Chicken strips was beautiful succulent chicken. The hoisin sauce with the duck spring rolls was amazing. Small side salad was nice too had a little mix of everything in...

On approaching the bar I asked the barman whether they were still serving hot food. The barman SHOUTED “English please, I don’t speak Welsh”. I’m a Welsh speaker and Llangranog is in Wales! We asked whether the beer was served in glass or plastic. “Plastic”....

food was microwaved and came in plastic containers with plastic cutlery. Asked for a spoon for my 3 year old apparently there the first food serving pub I've ever known that don't do spoons. Ontop of that even though we had food and drink we...

Five hungry walkers ordered chicken pancakes and duck spring rolls, just imagine our surprise when there was neither duck nor chicken in any of the meals. We all agreed it was the worst food we’ve ever been served. If we were the proprietors we would...

Multiple management doesn’t help the Dhip. Pints are good & fresh. Food not worth ordering. They need to move the big recycle bins away from food eating area. Lots of wasps.

Stopped in here as there was a sign outside saying to find a table and order at the bar...there was a table free, so we followed all of the instructions to sanitise hands, and follow the one way system round, spoke to the staff and told them we had found a table and would soon be ordering. After five minutes we went to order, following the one way system around again, only to be told that they had decided to stop serving food. It was 6pm...sign outside said they were serving til 8. You’d think that places would be wanting trade after 6 months of being shut down wouldn’t you?? Unhelpful and unfriendly. Won’t be back.

Nipped in here on a Friday afternoon, we were very glad to find a place still with food on offer mid afternoon. Unfortunately I had one of the nastiest sandwiches in my life - a baguette that literally dripped with salad cream (didn't even know people still ate it), with cheap grated cheese in it. Maybe some people like that kind of sandwich, but not me. Very pretty town though.

Had food here with my wife and daughter, great atmosphere with friendly staff. Had a very tasty Gammon and eggs. Will be back soon.

We stopped for tea at the pub as a stop off during a local walk and the staff were extremely helpful with regard to local walks, routes etc and happy to spend time discussing.

Watched an international game (rugby) in here, great service, great beer, fab meal after and a lovely afternoon.

We wondered around the tiny village of Llangrannog, as Storm Ciara was arriving. We went into the ship and felt, “this is just right” Our Labrador was given some biscuits, we had a lovely meal, great beer and very reasonably priced. Overall and absolute delight!

Stayed in Llangrannog for a weekend in January and discovered one of the most warm and friendly pubs I have had the pleasure of visiting. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff went out of their way to make us and our two dogs very welcome. The food was fresh and delicious and the wide menu would suit all tastes. We were only planning to eat out for one night but the lovely warm atmosphere meant we ate there every night and even had breakfast there the day we left. It genuinely felt like a local pub that we had been frequenting for years. This really is a little gem of a pub situated in the beautiful village of Llangrannog, and I would highly recommend a visit as would our 2 dogs. We can’t wait to go back.

had a great meal with family and friends we just dropped in and they found room for all 10 of us and food was hot and great. We had a very good evening and we were not made to hurry in any way we are going back tonight,10/01/20 just me and my wife this time as its my birthday and its me idea to go to the ship again nigel

Owner and staff very welcoming ... warm and inviting after a walk on the beach ...went back the following day for a quiet drink without the dogs .

Had a lovely meal here on Xmas eve. My partner and I had the lovely flavorsome Chile and rice, other members of the family had dishes ranging from Gammon to Chicken nuggets /burgers/steak.All well cooked, and tasty. Must have been because the children ate all their food !Would definitely recommend the Ship.And the Xmas decorations were really pretty. A lot of work must have gone into putting those up..

Good points were beer was good and it is dog friendly. Asked about food on at lunch and no none available. Went across to The Pentre and had a lovely sandwich there. Nothing wrong with pub we just preferred the other one.

Overpriced food, with no sense of any cooking going on beyond heating it through from a packet (and taking a very long time to do it) or grilling. We were told that there was no fish and chips left, though it was available to locals who arrived and ordered later. Lots of other things unavailable too.I have no great need for my chips to be "hand-cut", but if they aren't, don't claim that they are.

We visited The Ship a few times during our latest stay in Llangrannog.

We’re staying just up the road from the ship inn and nipped in one particularly rainy night for some food. The food was delicious and homely and very reasonably priced, the beer was lovely too. The owners and staff were friendly and the place looked great, with a log fire that I bet would be great to sit by with a cold beer on a cold winter night. Heading back there again for food and drinks tonight.

We go to llangrannog twice a year and the ship is always our first call penny and Ian are the perfect hosts and the food is always outstanding we are always made to feel at home and our dog lottie is always made welcome all the staff are always very welcoming and take time to make sure everything is perfect we can't recommend the ship penny and Ian and all the staff highly enough and look forward to our next visit next year

One of the most amazing places anyone could wish to sit down and have a meal/ have a drink. Staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed almost instantly can’t say enough good things about the place. 5 stars!!!!

Food was lovely but small portions, they even put grease proof paper in the chip bowls and folded it over so it made the pot even smaller, if you poured then chips out which we did there were hardly any for the price of the meal, come on guys it's chips and the tartar sauce pot was about the size of a thumb, very tight in making a profit on food which is average / high price anyhow!

The parking machine does not work and there is no signal to phone the parking company which is employed by the owners of the ship. You will get a parking fine so do not leave your car in the car park.therefore don't bother going to the pub if you need to park the car at the seafront.

Over 20 degrees in September in Wales and a wander down from the free car park led to a seat by the beach and a fine crab sandwich and chips lunch. Well timed visit (service stops at 1:45) and a pleasant start to a long weekend.

Having snagged the last parking spot in the village and hoping to find some lunch, we were disappointed to see all the tables outside The Ship were taken..but chanced a query & were very happy to find dogs were allowed inside too.

Visited today wanting a drink after walking on the beach with our dogs. Request for coffee made with either coconut or almond milk met with blank incomprehension and the response that they only served cows milk. This is 2019 and plant based alternatives to dairy are now mainstream unless you visit this establishment. Our visit to this bay today which we have known and loved for countless years has been a great disappointment given the total lack of decent service and unsmiling bordering on couldn't care less attitude of serving staff. The sooner Costa coffee and McDonald's move in the better, perhaps the business owners would then sit up and start to review their shortcomings. We will continue to visit and stay in Llangrannog but have decided on the basis of our experiences that we will never use any of the local businesses or support the local economy in any way. It is clear from our visit today that a once beautiful and welcoming village where a welsh contingent served the community has become harmless and unwelcome by place for people seeking food quality food or service where the emphasis is on customer satisfactio n. If your tastes run to carb laden and sugar laden food at exorbitant prices then you will find it here in abundance, if you want good quality and choice served with a smile then look elsewhere.

Popped in for friday lunch while working up the road. Great spot and a lovely little pub, However there seemed to be a lack of food as I couldn't have my first choice off the lunch menu.....and then I couldn't have my second choice! So third time lucky and I wasn't too disappointed as the quality was quite good for the price. On this visit I'll have to say a good average but on another day I imagine it would probably be a bit better. ..I'll have to try there again

Centrally located, so a great place to sit and watch the world go by. Dog friendly inside & out. My friends had fish n chips, which was declared delicious. I had the starter from the 'specials' board. Moules Marnier which was served with warm crusty bread, lovely!! Followed by a steak & chips equally as tasty. Service was efficient and a lovely spot. We're local so we'll be regular visitors

Watching the world go by whilst listening to the sound of the sea. Great selection of beers and outdoor seating area to allow the tide drift in and out

A boon to find this to be dog friendly. The food was excellent and prices to match, too. So pleased we ate here.

We were pleased with the good food and excellent, friendly service. We look forward to visiting again.

My husband and I have returned home after spending a week away.

Really nice pub and staff but beware the car park.It is not owned by the pub and is going to cost the village in trade if things are not rectified. Two weeks ago my 2 car party visited ,on arrival the ticket machine stated "out of use",many people tried to pay but the machine was "out of use",we all parked as the car park was not blocked off and it's the main parking in this lovely village.We have all received automated 100 pound fines for non payment!!!!,great shame that the locals ultimately will lose visitors due to an outside firm of crooks.

Came to the ship to meet some friends for a drink at 7.30pm, haven’t been to the ship for a couple of years even though I am local. Had a lovely time the ship had a cosy setting and we felt welcome.

Well llangranog is a beautiful cove on the cardigan bay coast. We decided a beach at sunset was on order and this is one of our favourite spots. As it was supper time we decided to eat out and despite visiting the beach over the last five years we had never been into the ship as we dont really like tourist pubs we were pleasantly surprised! the owners who have only been in the pub for nine months were welcoming friendly and genuinely knew what they were doing. As it was a Sunday the resturant was closed and they dont normally serve food on a Sunday evening but as there were a lot of people around they were doing bar food. The food was very well cooked presented nicely and was plentiful price wise it was what i would call average for a pub in a very nice location so all in all a very pleasant experienced but in the summer months i woyld suggest booking a table to ensure you can enjiy the experience.

Customer friendly and dog friendly. Excellent food. Hard to find but great location. Metered public parking - bring change.

Called here on our last evening staying in our touring caravan nearby, for an evening meal. Very friendly staff and other customers. The food was good, the reason for me not giving 5 stars is that they had run out of cod and my husband was really hoping for the fis and chips. The chips are wonderful by the way. I had the chicken curry which was delicious. I will definitely go back if we’re in the area, although I can imagine in peak season it would get very busy!

We decided to go for a meal to the Ship after visiting for a drink and the food looked nice. We returned a couple of nights later and ordered our meals. The food that we received was very nice and would recommend to others although I do believe it was over priced for a bar meal.My main concern is the number of dogs that entered the pub while we were eating- how on earth do they meet hygiene standards with animals all around us. The owners obviously love dogs as they stopped to pat and play with a dog behind us only to arrive minutes later carrying our food! Some dogs were left off the lead and ran towards another couple and their dog as they entered the pub. Another was barking in the corner. We ate our food and left as soon as possible as you could not relax in such an atmosphere.

Have been in The Ship on two separate occasions today-once with my wife (lunchtime) once without 😁(evening) - haven’t tried the food yet (what I’ve seen coming from the kitchen looks good) but can deffo recommend the really good beer and staff 👍

We live locally and this is the first time we have visited the ship and have to day it was looking Ely. Amazing home cooked great service would definitively go back again and again

I ate here today and honestly was one of the best meals I have had!! I highly recommend coming here for a meal or even just a quite drink. Such a friendly and lively place to sit and relax with friends 😊

Poor food, frozen burgers, no fish (apparently owner says it's not in season!!!), frozen and undercooked chips, owner very dismissive and rude, cheap watery ketchup in a Heinz bottle. No wonder people have stopped coming here. Long time visited pub has been ruined by the new owners and they don't care either. Don't waste your money. you
