I see Merry Maid has given this pub too a glowing report, just like the Cayley Arms on the prom' at Rhos on Sea, which is operated by the same landlords.
Remarkable.
Even a blind man will see that Merry Maid has been put up to this.
Oh and the landlords despise Welsh speakers but deny this under the guise of having a Welsh speaking bar maid, who again, remarkably, refuses to speak Welsh to anyone wanting service through this medium.
Typical ignorance.

A very good pub for music. The landlords are however expanding on this, which is 'enraging' the residents which surround the venue. Denbighshire council has already warned the pub to keep the noise down from both music and the smokers in the covered area (beer garden).
Rowdy, drunken pub visitors are engaging in anti social behaviour in nearby streets until the early hours.
Not good.
Also, no one answers telephone after midnight because chances are, it is a resident complaining.
This needs addressing. Otherwise, a good venue with good ale.

The Cayley Arms should be an excellent pub in an idyllic setting, but it is not. Eating & drinking there is not a good experience. The owners seem only interested in extracting money from customers and don't give a customer service.
The staff don't smile and one expects ones beer to be thrown at them rather than served. Nobody is helpful most of all the proprietors who will sit there idly while a single bar person will serve a queue of ten.
Very clique - y pub, with its quota of drunks which can be intimidating from opening to closing every day.
fighting is frequent, if not inside, outside the pub. Police seem to be there regularly.
Dirty glasses, filthy toilets, short measures and non descript, unappetising food.
All in all, a nasty little establishment.
The Rhos Fynach and The Toad nearby are much more welcoming.

This pub has recently been taken over by proprietors who oewn another Rhos pub, The Cayley Arms.
Most of the locals have now left this pub for pastures new. The pub frequently runs out of beer which is not replaced for sometimes days. Some cosmetic work has been done on the place, but this has not helped the poor quality of the poor selection of beers on offer.
Pints are overpriced, short measured and bringing this to the attention of the rather young and inexperienced bar staff, usually results in scowls and protests. Infact, complaining usually results in a ban. a chat with a local recently, informed me that a minor complaint can result in being banned for life.
The toilets are a disgrace and I noticed personally, staff visiting the toilets, yet when I went in, the sinks were dry? Clearly no hand washing, so hygiene is a low priority.
The Ship has had a well known carvery for several years and under various managers. It is now extremely poor and over priced. The cuts of meat are wafer thin.
Vegetables are undercooked and hard.
A uniquely uninspiring experience. Probably the worst pub now on the North Wales coast. I would not recommend it to my worst enemy.

The Mitre, Glastonbury
Visited the Mitre on May 25th 2010 with my partner. Only popped in for one. Ended up having three, such was the friendly atmosphere. The Landlord and Landlady were both welcoming and their hospitality was faultless.
