Ship Inn

Visited here three times while we were staying in Aberporth. It has a great outlook to the sea, was a fantastic place to have a pit stop mid-walk or saunter down for food. Has my fave Carlsberg lager and some good local ales. Had Halloumi flatbreads both food visits, just so nice, drizzled with a maple syrup, who knew!! Service was a bit slow as not many staff on but we were happy waiting, chilled on hols, the team was very friendly. One of our fave places to eat on our hols.

Good points, Table available to sit for drinks. Location is stunning, tables well laid out inside and ample outside seating for summer evenings. Facilities were as you would expect from a pub, being serviceable and clean. Good selection of drinks available and friendly bar service. Bad points, Car park. Very hard to get a space to park as handful of spaces. Waitress Service - By far the rudest waitress we have experienced in a long time. Young dark haired female can only be described as having shoved a tray of teas onto the opposing side of our table. Zero communication with recipients (I mean not a word) and leaving the tray with tea pots and cups etc. on the tray and more importantly out of reach of the very senior citizens she was ‘serving’ (term used loosely). Immediately turning away and leaving. She didn’t even check we had ordered it and it wasn’t even busy! Whole experience of quiet drink spoilt by this one employee. If this is representative of customer service offered here, I cannot recommend the establishment. You will not feel valued as a customer.

The views and surroundings save this place from worse reviews. The staff seem like they want to be anywhere else. The food is absolutely terrible despite having what looks like a great menu. It is standard churned out fodder that is overpriced and made by a chef who seems like they have lost all hope! Thank god the draught beer is decent. The stars are for the beer and the view and absolutely nothing to do do with the staff, management or food.

Just back from 3 nights at the Shipp Inn. All staff were very friendly, helpful and polite and nothing was to much trouble. We had 3 meals here and can only say that the food was very good, however there were issues around availability of some items on the menu each evening. The accommodation is in need of a little attention although it was very comfortable and adequate. Would recommend and will visit again if in the area.

Such a fabulous location, a little let down by a few easily remedied actions. Outside area needs a lick of paint and tidying. Room had an amazing views but was let down by a faulty toilet seat, no blind, peeling paintwork and toiletries not renewed after last occupants. Bit of a shame , could be so much better .

From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome. Good selection of drinks. Fantastic menu. The hospitality of the staff was brilliant. Highly recommend paying a visit. We walked along the coastal path for lunch and all said we would definitely do it again (even if the path was very hilly in places). The view is beautiful too! Thank you for a very enjoyable afternoon!!
