Great value carvery
Went for a carvery on Sunday lunchtime. Chef serving up was super friendly & we all enjoyed huge portion sizes! Pork, beef and turkey with all the trimmings and an extra jug of gravy. Good value at £14.50 per person .

Lovely pub by the harbour
Had a walk from the Premier Inn where we were staying to the harbour. Found this little gem of a pub. Great friendly atmosphere, good food, not too pricey. Very nice pub. Welcoming people.

Absolutely fantastic food and staff, Brill experience from the moment we arrived. I would 100% recommend the old ship aground.

Fab place to eat
Thank goodness for The Old Ship Aground. Minehead has a lack of really good places to eat, but this place was lovely. Really good food and very good service.
