The Ship Aground

A traditional community pub in Talsarnau, on the Dwyryd estuary, welcoming regulars and visitors alike since 1817.

A warm welcome

Local faces, a proper pint and a fire in the grate. We've sat beside the Dwyryd estuary since 1817, and the welcome hasn't changed: come in as you are, stay as long as you like.

Sunday lunch by the fire

A proper roast every Sunday, with all the trimmings. Tables go quickly, so it's worth booking ahead.

A pub with deep roots

Reclaimed ship timbers, estuary shipbuilding and the great flood of 1927. The building remembers more than most.
