Ship Aground — Restaurant in Wales

Looking for somewhere to have a main meal rather than a snack we stopped at the Ship Aground and we're glad we did. Very dog friendly, our 2 dogs got a treat each as well as scratches and a "helo" before we'd even sat down. Although the menu for lunch was limited with choice, the food we ordered was wonderful. The homemade cream of vegetable soup with a large slice of homemade focaccia bread was tasty leaving space for dessert. Mum ordered the garlic breaded chicken breast with wedges and greek salad. The chicken was large, boneless, & moist, the salad came with feta, chopped green olives, cucumber, peppers, red onion, and not a lettuce leaf in sight; heaven for mum. We asked for a sausage to split between the 2 dogs and we got a dishful. Dessert was sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for mum (who loves STP), who said it was the lightest pudding with a not-too-sweet toffee sauce, the best she'd tasted. I had the forest fruit creme brulee which was wonderful. Again, sharp fruit, not too sweet with a bitter, crisp, sugar lid. All homemade by the chef. We will be visiting again as it was great food, friendly staff and...

It was okay - however, my parmesan chicken was just a huge chicken goujon, and our crumble seemed like microwaved tinned berries with bread crumbs piled on top. My partners steak and ale pie, however, was great - horseradish mash was also a lovely combination I haven't experienced before. My expectations were high, and we were recommended the place by the people we were staying with. However- my partner and I feel that the reviews are likely only so good because they're the only place in the village. We were passing through for 2 nights, and honestly, it wasn't the best meal we've had. The service was fast, and the food was correct - we were seated quickly once we found someone to help us and served properly. However, we felt like outsiders. The atmosphere was not welcoming - you walk in, and you're greeted with strange looks from local men at the bar that you have to squish through to get to a table. There was no seating system, and the whole restaurant felt like it was built for locals with local...

Tasty.... but few flaws

Went here with my wife and 3 kids. Been a while since we've been so don't know if this is the norm now.

Ordered 2 steaks, 1 rare and one medium well. Steaks came out blue and rare, no steak knives, no onion rings. I can eat mine blue, so i didn't mind, but had to send one back and it was still on the rarer side when it came back.

Kids had gammon, the chicken and beef burger, and a kids' pizza. They seemed to enjoy it. Tho there was no steak knife with the gammon either.

Staff were friendly and apologetic, though we had to grab them to send steak back. It would of been nice to be asked how food was after serving.

The only major gripe i have with the staff is that when severing drinks, glasses were being held by the lip of the glass. This is a big pet peeve of mine. A glass should be split into thirds, bottom 2 thirds is the staffs and top 3rd is the...
