Called in to try one of their “tasting paddles”. Really excellent and enthusiastically supported by knowledgeable staff. Went on to have lunch which was very good and then had cocktails before catching the bus back to St Helen’s. A great lunchtime/afternoon out. We sat outside in the sunshine late September. Excellent !Food: 5/5
Amazing atmosphere and hosts. Food amazing! Drinks are even better! On site distillery!
Good atmosphere, excellent service, friendly and knowledge staff. The food was fantastic and they had a well stocked bar, the cocktails were great. Nice to see the Gin stills and the Mermaid shop sold some really good merchandise. The tasting board for all the Gins, Spiced Rum and Vodka was a really good way to sample the whole Mermaid range.
*Food not rated as we did not eat* Popped in to try some of the spirits and was pleasantly surprised to find they did a tasting board for £9 which covers all of their spirits, with a shot of tonic to go with it. I'd recommend sharing one with a partner if you plan on driving, as the board is roughly a shot and a half of spirits each - better yet, get a taxi! Personal favourite for me was the spiced rum, but couldn't justify the price for a full bottle even though it would make a nice lamp when empty. The bar and outdoor area give a great atmosphere to unwind and enjoy a drink. The staff were all very friendly and even offered a treat to our dog. Speaking of which, dogs are welcome in the entire bar and we were offered treats on arrival by the bar staff and again by another staff member later. The Distillery itself isn't dog friendly fair enough! but you can look through the viewing windows if you wanted to see the process in action from the comfort of your table. We very much enjoyed our hour in the sunshine tasting spirits and would happily come again!
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.
The advertised guided tour was absent, resulting in significant disappointment and the decision not to return. Furthermore, the gin, vodka, and rum tasting experience was unsatisfactory due to the unacceptably warm temperature of the tonic. Despite having a table of six, no explanations or information were provided regarding the beverages we were consuming.
This is a good place to visit. Home the Mermaid Gins and salt vodka, also spiced and Navy Rum. For £9 you can get a tasting board with 6 for you to try. The pub is spacious with a nice terrace. There's a free carpark attached. It's all at ground level with space between tables, so I'd say it's wheelchair accessible. On this occasion we didn't eat, but on previous visits we have enjoyed a decent meal. Worth a visit, I think.
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.
Came here while visiting the distillery. The pub itself is a beautiful building with lovely seating and staff. We didn’t stop to eat but the food looked amazing and we will be back to try it. Nice inside and outside area with a great balcony at the back overlooking the fields. The inside was clean and nice looking. Bit of a country pub feel but not at all dated. Great selection of drinks and lots of space and seating.
Lovely evening for two at this place. It is at The Wishing Well pub, just so you don't get as confused as I did with this on the sat nav. I'm a fan of Mermaid Gin and was introduced to the wonders of Mermaid Spiced Rum when I visited...yum . It's bar service not table service. The menu has starters, mains, burgers, pizzas, desserts. Didn't see a kids menu, but might just be due to it being evening. Food was delicious! Presented well and good portions. Drinks, yummy gin and rum cocktails. Parking: Right next to The Wishing Well pub/gin distillary
