My son had an absolutely delightful time, and the evening was truly special. The food was exquisite—everyone who attended was full of praise and gratitude for such a delicious dinner. The warm atmosphere, the friendly smiles, and the exceptional service all contributed to making the experience unforgettable. A special thank you for the beautiful room decorations, which created the perfect setting. I walked in, took my seat, and was able to fully enjoy my son’s communion without a single worry. You took care of everything with such professionalism and kindness. Congratulations to all of you on the incredible job you do. From the bottom of my heart, I highly recommend The Old Ship to everyone—an outstanding five-star experience!

04/05/2025: Great spot fot Sunday lunch, wonderful service. The mustard sauce on the steak sandwich is quite tasty!

30/05/2025: Been to a few functions here and they never disappoint. Food is lovely and is served hot and fresh. Live music on some nights and a couple of snugs if you want some privacy to catch up with friends and get some food. Perfect venue for parties and the food platters are always served full of a variety of food. Staff are also really nice and friendly and very accommodating 👌

18/05/2025: Always a great experience, friendly staff and great tasting food.

16/05/2025: Had the coronation chicken sandwich.. delicious. Lovely pleasant staff

04/05/2025: Great food but there have been several times now that they are closed without a notification on the facebook page or otherwise meaning you turn up to be dissappointed

18/04/2025: Oh my God the Wings …. Best Take Away in Arklow by Far but I’m calling on the good citizens of Arklow to form a protest outside until the Hot Chicken Wings are returned to the menu !!!!!

05/04/2025: Made to feel very welcome by the owners and she helped with my menu choice. The katsu curry is identical to wagamamas and delicious. Only comment is that the plate was a bit small so not much room to.move things around. Will definitely be back for the lamb curry she recommends and also I saw Mongolian beef which is another one of my favourites if it is like pfchangs... :)

17/06/2025: Most underrated Links course in Ireland Off the Blue or white tees it’s a real challenge Last 4 holes as good as finish as you will get anywhere

15/06/2025: Top class club for food and drink staff are welcoming golf course is number one

13/06/2025: We had the absolute pleasure of dining at the Pottery Restaurant during our recent stay for our Strip and Dip at the Arklow Bay Hotel, and from start to finish, it was a five-star experience. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and inviting – The staff were genuinely lovely – friendly, attentive, and full of local charm. Big shout out to Fernando - I think that is the correct name he was absolutely fantastic. Now the food… WOW. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. I had the Featherblade OMG it was amazing Highly recommend booking a table here, even if you’re just passing through Arklow. We'll definitely be back. A real gem!

07/06/2025: Best place ever after the annual strip and dip. Best place ever. If I was getting married I’d have me wedding here. Super place

15/04/2025: It was really good fun. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and got us dressed up quickly. Having taken lots of photos, passing ourselves off as Victorian ladies, we then enjoyed a very nice afternoon tea. All in all it was a really enjoyable afternoon

17/03/2025: What a fun experience with absolutely lovely hostesses!!!

28/05/2025: The croghan cafe is a hidden gem, fantastic fresh food and the girls are great craic they would defo brighten up your day. Defo call in and get yourself a bite to eat!

16/05/2025: Those ladies (sometimes) are a credit and aleats go above and beyond to make sure you’re well looked after. 🤪🤪

06/05/2025: After 3 years we returned here to this magnificent hotel-pub, in the center of the city, convenient for any movement in the country and close to services! Great place to stay, quaint and welcoming!!! I highly recommend! Until next time

03/05/2025: Increadibly friendly staff, cozy rooms and delicious breakfast.

31/05/2025: Poor / Average Food Poor quality food / poor wines Butter chicken was overly sweet Prawn Jalfrezi overly spicy Chicken wings in sweet and sour sauce Pilau rice was poor I’m not sure if I liked anything about this place Poor tasting wine Poor seating/ tables and benches made from pallet wood The owner should take a trip into Daata Bray and see and sample their food

18/05/2025: Our decent indian restaurant in the area here. Haven't failed me once, so far, seems like quality is the priority here.

04/04/2025: Amazing food, great service. Good Value for money . Love this place. Best Asian food I have ever had.. very friendly , fast service

15/03/2025: Thank you Aggie and staff for a fantastic time

10/12/2024: Best pub in town, quite possibly the universe. High caliber of pool player generally occupying the table. This pub caters to a Sophisticated clientele of all walks of life. Fresh scampi fries. A cradle of civilization, a hotbed of culture and the local focal point of Craic.

30/05/2025: Excellent. Standard rare picanha

14/04/2025: The food was delicious and the soft drink machine with countless soft drinks that you could pour yourself was great! The toilets could use some updating but overall we were very happy.
