Excellent food and real ales as well as beers wines and spirits. I went on a Saturday night and watched a live band. I had a thoroughly good night out. For a quieter time visit during the week. They also serve food all day 'til 8pm.

Don't eat Here - never had food though, but a few pints - one night I arrived at the Ship Inn went into the bar area, and ask for a pint of lager - there was a very unpleasant SMELL orientating from the men's toilet which at the time I uncomfortable ignored - I however mentioned this to the barman (Not the Publican licence holder) that the smell was unbearable and if the new Licence - really need to make a go of their business venture they should resolve the issue of the stale urine smell . - Tonight - 24/02010 at around 10:30 I and another 5 of my friends went into the Ship Inn -We were unable to order any pints of larger - as they had run out (On a Saturday!!) but this was not the only problem I had - the barman had informed the licences of my comment - and the landlady BANNED ME! - Saying they were trying to make this business work and the only reason that their pub smelt of stale urine was because people like me urinated on the floor! Anyway I will not be going back there because, first - I'm now BANNED!! Second they have no pints of lager to sell and thirdly it really dose smell of stale urine. Recommendations for pub meals in Porthmadog as of 24/04/2010 are The Pencei, The Spooner's (Ffestiniog Railway), and the Sportsman (very nice but expensive).
