Great place on the old harbour away from the main part of Minehead. My heart sank when I saw the Sunday carvery advertised but as it was getting late we called in and were rewarded with friendly service, a warm and comfortable seating are and a delicious meal. On this occasion,it was towards the end of food service, the chef, Don, came to collect diners and took them to the carvery at the back of the pub in a large dinning space, presumably used at peak times. Don was friendly and chatty and obviously took pride in his carvery offering, explaining some of his ingredients and carving a fresh turkey which was succulent and tasty. All in all a perfect Sunday roast. Highly recommended. Better to book, it's very popular.

We ate lunch here and didn't stay at the hotel.
The service was friendly and welcoming.
The food was incredible.
We had fish and chips, the batter was so tasty.
I ate mine slowly to savour each bite.
Highly recommend a visit here.
Great pub, really enjoyed our ploughmans and cider.
Have to say how impressed I was with the girls that served us, very polite, efficient, smiling and good at their job.
Downsides, we opted to eat out side as it was a lovely day, and the beer garden certainly looked a bit neglected and there was a very noisy chiller fan that seemed to cut in and out about every three minutes, and was quite invasive into conversations, pity really.
But had a good meal despite these slight negatives.
The view across the bay is stunning, especially as the sun goes down. The food was brilliant- big portions and great quality! The staff were very friendly.
Had an amazing meal here last night. My husband and I had ‘The Catch of the Day’,which was Hake on a bed of onions, green cabbage, roasted beetroot and new pots. The flavour was lemony and tasted divine. Our son had the Cod & chips which had been cooked to perfection.
Shout out to Rosie who went above and beyond to clean up my sandals for me after I stepped in some dog mess outside☹️
The fish and chips, the calimare, and the mussels were fantastic. Service was not so good. Waited about half an hour on a beer. They could use more help during lunch. Nice atmosphere.
The Old Ship Aground is a lovely pub and restaurant located on the harbour in Minehead. It is a dog-friendly establishment, and ours was even given a complimentary plate of sausage from the chef! The interior is cosy and nicely decorated, with exposed beams and a nautical theme.
The food is wonderful value for money, with large portions.
The service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, and he made sure that we had everything we needed. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at the Old Ship Aground and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Minehead.
Really nice pub to stop and have a few beers in, the Guinness is on point too. Very nice seating out the front overlooking the harbour. Added bonus of showing the rugby as well!
Great little find.. didn't have food but it looked top quality. A lovely pint! Great choice of beers. Lovely location and view
Lunchtime visit to the old quay area of Minehead and found this inn. Food is of a really good standard and great portion sizes. Friendly staff and a nice view just put the icing on the cake. Thanks for a great lunch.
Excellent bar meal in cosy surroundings. Harbourside location. Road side parking nearby. Good menu. Did not stay at premises so cannot comment on the rooms.Recommended.
Lovely bank holiday stay at the old ship. Rooms are reasonable size. Although shower was quite small but very powerful and plenty of hot water. We stayed in a double room towards the back but had decent sea view from window. The double rooms at front over looking harbour are very nice with a small balcony which is nice if you have the weather. Breakfast was very tasty but fairly small in comparison to other places I've stayed. Meals were good when ate there again portions to money were ok but not as good as other places we ate for cheaper. But great for dog friendliness and all staff we encountered worked well and very very helpfuland obliging. Would use again especially if coming with a dog.
Lovely traditional style pub in a great spot. We came here for Sunday lunch and had the carvery - would 100% recommend!! Not usually the biggest fan of a carvery, but we all really enjoyed it.
Also, big shout out to Rosie, who was super friendly, attentive, and great when it came to my daughter's allergies. Thanks all!
Lovely pub with a good atmosphere and unique decor. My wife and I ordered the camembert and nachos to share. Portion size was generous and the food was great. The staff were also friendly and accommodating.
Also, a huge shoutout to their customer service. I left my coat behind and travelled back to Plymouth without realising. I called and spoke to Rosie who said they had found it and very kindly posted it back to me, refusing to take any money for the trouble. They didn't have to do this and it is much appreciated!
Stopped off for a Sunday lunch, hadn't booked a table and even though they were busy they got us in. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was lovely. Best Sunday dinner I've had for a while. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. Definitely worth a visit.
