What Scott Lawrence likes about The Mermaid Inn:
4.5 stars. Wonderful Sunday Lunch. Attentive and very friendly staff. Forgot to give us water and gave us the wrong bill but that’s not a big deal in comparison. Would absolutely recommend. What Christine Bayer doesn't like about The Mermaid Inn:
Booked lunch for 4 adults, we were given 2 menus one for the restaurant and one bar menu however, we were told we all had to choose from the same menu! Whats the point of that! Annoyed by that, so just give the restaurant menu in the restaurant! Couldn’t mix and match. The restaurant menu was mostly fish dishes, again one of our party doesn’t care for fish, so a more varied menu would be better. Service was excellent... View all feedback.
