The Old Ship Aground

About The Old Ship Aground

Right at the far end of Minehead harbour, this old pub is all rope work and beer-barrel lids fixed to the ceiling, with splendid views out over the Bristol Channel — the sort of building that feels properly old rather than styled to look it. It's roomy enough for a pram, and the staff are unfailingly warm, checking back to see everyone's happy. Food is honest and reasonably priced, with a daily specials board, a brie and bacon baguette with crisp fries that's worth ordering, and a carvery families rate highly — tender meat, trimmings done properly. High chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options, outdoor seating and free parking outside make the logistics easy. Two things worth knowing: it gets very busy, so book a table, and there's live music some evenings, which is fun but loud.
