Comment from the September Tours:
” Dear Judith
I just wanted to thank you for taking the trouble to take my visitors and me round the Mermaid. They have now returned to USA, and were still saying the trip to Rye and the Mermaid was the highlight of their six week tour round England and Scotland. For me, it was the perfect day despite the weather.”
We are now taking bookings for the last Sunday of each month, Tours at 4pm and 5pm. We only ask for a donation to our charity NDCS.org.uk

Reviews on Open Table in September:

“What a charming and fabulous restaurant. The roast beef melted in your mouth – obviously buy expensive products of quality.”
“A stunning dining room which truly feels like you are stepping back in time. We highly recommend”
“Outstanding food served in a beautiful historic setting with excellent ambient atmosphere thanks to no pop music noisy guests nor intrusive staff.
Totally exceeded my expectations which were high anyway beforehand
Looking forward to a return very soon.”
“Wonderful food. service and venue. Not cheap but worth every penny. I will be back.”
“Amazing little place, great atmosphere & ambience. Service was great from the outset & our waiter Patrick just enhanced it a little further with the added humour. He was also very helpful with his recommendation for the dessert which was delicious. All the food was lovely but I did find the chicken dish a bit on the heavy side due to the sauce & sweetcorn. Would have preferred it to be slightly more delicately flavoured personally. My husband enjoyed his lamb & both our starters were lovely. The pea & coconut soup that was sent out as complimentary was delicious as were the freshly baked rolls. Overall experience was really enjoyable & we would return if we were in the area again.”
