 A traditional Inn serving homemade good food and real ales by an open log fire. The Old Ship lies at the heart of the village of Trefriw, in more ways than one. Not only is The Ship conveniently located in the middle of the village, it is also the central meeting place for the residents of the village.A warm welcome awaits all who step through the door, along with a cracking menu and bar catering for everyone. The Old Ship is a member of CAMRA and features in "The Good Beer Guide" The Proprietor, Rhian Barlow recently won Licensee of the Winter Season 2005 for the district of Aberconwy. More details on the Real Ale can be found here. Tafarn traddodiadol yw'r Hen Long yn cynnig bwyd cartref, cwrw da a chroeso Cymraeg i bawb. |
| At The Old Ship, all our fantastic meals are prepared to order using as much local produce as possible. Regular favourites are the Half Shoulder of Lamb and Maralin's Sausages from the butchery accross the road. The Old Ship is a "Free House" and Proprietor/Chef, Rhian Barlow (a real ale drinker and member of CAMRA herself), always has at least 3 cask ales on tap, and Rhian is proud to be the winner of the The Licensee of the Season (Winter) 2005, for the Abercolwyn Branch of CAMRA (The Campaign for Real Ale). |

THE name of the Old Ship Inn, and the painting of a sailing vessel surfing the waves on the pub sign, can be very perplexing when you’re ensconced as far from the sea as this.Outros links:
Trefriw might be a delightful village up in the beautiful Conwy Valley where the Crafnant disgorges into the Conwy, but it’s better known these days for its woollen mill and its Roman spa than for any great nautical history.
But that’s where you’d be so very wrong.
And it’s a sign of how quickly Mother Nature can reassert herself once we let her get on with it.
In fact, in the 19th century Trefriw was Wales’ busiest inland port. Vessels as heavy as 80 tons docked here to ship out wood, grain, wool and metal ores from the mines in the surrounding mountains to ports such as Liverpool and Dublin, and bringing in coal, lime and fine wines and food ordered by the area’s landed gentry.
As recently as 1939 paddle steamers used to anchor here, bringing day visitors from Conwy eager to sample the Spa waters or to walk up to the sparkling lakeland above the village that still draws the punters to this day.
A lack of dredging activity has since regrettably allowed the channel to silt up, doubtless adding to the flooding problems much of the valley is plagued by.
The Old Ship has been a part of village life in Trefriw for the past two centuries, and continues to play a central role, welcoming tourists and locals alike with equal sincerity.
It was formerly a customs house dating back to the 16th century.
To step inside feels almost akin to walking into a traditional warm Welsh farmhouse.
The place seems to be comfortingly awash with expertly crafted wooden artefacts, from the bar to the furniture, and the walls are dotted with pictures of local historical and nautical interest.
Greeted by a crackling log fire in the inglenook fireplace, the atmosphere draws one into a state of blissful inertia.
Listed in the Good Beer Guide 2007, there’s always a choice of cask ales on the bar, a list of malt whiskies as long as your arm, along with traditional Welsh products such as Toffoc’s toffee flavoured vodka or Worthenbury wines – amazingly produced on the outskirts of Wrexham.
There’s just so much to titillate the discerning imbiber’s taste buds.
Then there’s the home cooking, using as much local produce as possible, and served in two dedicated dining areas, including the classic and popular Welsh shoulder of lamb.
The specials board could also well include braised rabbit, grey mullet, shepherd’s pie or smoked haddock.
And in the summer the patrons throng to the waterside patio and beer garden, quite possibly still unaware of quite why this place should be known as the Old Ship.
