The Mermaid At The Isle Of Wight Distillery

Booked the day before for 7pm. Arrived at 7 at was seated. We were given the menu and were deciding what to drink and eat and eventually a member of staff came over about 7.20 and told us the kitchen closed at 7.30! We ordered and our meal arrived, which was ok but we were not able to order dessert as the kitchen was closed!!! Why were we not told to order desert with our main meal??? We will not be going back although it is just a short walk to the distillery we will be driving to a local inn!

Had a fab evening! We popped in the day before for a drink and a gin tasting, decided we liked the look of the menu and booked for dinner. Both visits the staff were friendly and helpful. I’m not sure what a gin tasting elsewhere looks like… but we were quite pleased that there was enough in each shot that 3 of us could have a good taste and still walk out without assistance. The Navy rum and Navy gin will def slow you down! Dinner was really good and the portions are quite big- the fish and chips more than filled the plate. Mermaid Burger was lovely. Daughter had Eton Mess to finish and said it was wonderful. Ended up buying 4 bottles the 5 5cl flavours, along with several empties for decorative purposes (the bottles are GORGEOUS and the £5/ea goes to charity). 10/10 would definitely come back.

We decided to go to the Mermaid Bar at the Isle of Wight Distillery. The vibes were cool, and the menu selection was vast. We didn’t eat food but did have some cocktails. I opted for the Mermaid Margarita, which was punchy but sweet. Using the Mermaid Vodka and tequila, the mix finishes with a seaside-like feel of a drink.

Fantastic afternoon at The Mermaid Bar with family. The Tasting Bar was such great value and experience where we were talked through the process of their distillery for each spirit. All staff very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent as were the yummy cocktails banana rumba being our favourite special! You can also buy merchandise and they have a lovely collection.

Had a lovely time here for a friend's birthday party
