The Ship Inn is currently the only Cask Marque
pub in Anglesey.
The scheme is operated by an independent body called Cask Marque
Trust which is a limited company, limited by guarantee, and a non
profit making organisation. The company is run by a management committee
elected by its members. The members who pay a subscription will
include representatives from brewers, retailers, trade bodies and
consumer groups.
Pubs that join the scheme will be visited unannounced by an independent
assessor twice a year. In the first year they will be visited twice
in the first three months and in subsequent years they will be visited
once in the Summer and once in the Winter.
The assessor will check all cask ales on sale for - temperature,
appearance, aroma and taste.
If the pub passes it receives a plaque, framed certificate and
merchandising material to inform its customers of the award and
their rights.
The customers are encouraged to comment independently on the quality
of cask ale in the pub to the Cask Marque organisation.
Cask Marque Stands for:
- Excellence in the service of cask ale.
- Awarded to the licensee rather than to the pub.
- Jointly funded by brewers and retailers.
- Inspections made twice a year.

Marque website

The Ship Inn is listed in the Michelin "Eating
out in Pubs" Guide.
The book description from the Michelin
website:
"Eating Out in Pubs is a first for Michelin, containing 500
of the best dining pubs in Britain and Ireland, from cutting-edge
gastropubs and historic town taverns to unspoilt inns in stunning
countryside, all selected for the high quality of their food.
In-depth descriptions and colour photographs give a real feel for
the place and the type of cuisine on offer, and all entries are
researched by the same inspectors who make The Michelin Hotel &
Restaurant Guide, so you can be sure of the quality of the food.
Each establishment includes information on typical dishes and specialities,
the beer they serve – including real ales and a classification
for particularly good wine lists, and their availability by the
glass.
Eating Out in Pubs is the perfect companion for eating out any
time, guiding you to the best pubs with great food and a friendly
atmosphere, and with Michelin maps and directions to ensure those
little out-of-the-way places don’t elude you.
Pub food has changed a great deal over the last decade as more
and more establishments put the emphasis on dining. Now Michelin
opens the door to a selection of some of the best places, so you
can be confident in your choice: after all, we have been promoting
and enjoying good food for over a century."
