The Bottom Ship - West Somerset

I stayed here in room 3 as I was walking the first leg of the south west coastal path from Minehead to Porlock Weir. My room was spotless and very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was really great. Even the locals were lovely. The bus to Minehead stops right outside the pub so it’s a cracking spot.

Stayed here to do the first section of the South West Coast Path. Lovely food, beautiful location and friendly staff. Room was very clean and comfortable but don’t stay in Room One. It is so noisy at night with music, drunken singing and shouting it’s impossible to sleep. There’s also a light directly above one of the windows which basically creates daylight in your room until it’s switched off when the pub closes. I would eat here again but i wouldn’t stay.

Very Nice didn’t have starters, decided to have main and pub. We both had mackerel, mash and veg, really lovely. Definitely recommend. For puds I had sticky toffee pudding and hubby had good old fashioned crumble and custard, delicious. Nice blush wine and good choice of real ale. Defo recommend and would go again

We try and go to the Bottom Ship at least once a year and always have a very good experience. This year was no different it was busy which was good to see, service as always excellent, food new menu hope its the same chef we met last December as he had great ideas and the menu reflects that passion he showed us then in discussion Great beers also help and the night was a good one

We have visited Porlock Weir a number of times but have only ever stopped for a pint or a coffee in The Ship Inn, or ‘Bottom Ship’. This time we treated ourselves to lunch at a sunny outside table. The welcome at the bar was warm and the service efficient. I chose the halloumi burger which came with a field mushroom and hummus in a brioche bun plus chips and coleslaw and my husband chose the home cooked roasted ham which came with eggs, chips and peas. The quality was excellent and both meals were exactly what we wanted. A good range of ales and ciders too. Well worth the visit.
