The Mermaid Inn in Rye is a truly unique and special place to visit. It is an old 17th century coaching inn, with cobbled streets and all the charm of a bygone era. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the bar has an extensive gin menu with over 40 varieties. The restaurant offers a two AA Rosette menu that is full of delicious dishes, although the portions may be on the small side. The rooms are smaller than expected for the price, but they are cosy and comfortable. There is plenty of history and atmosphere to soak up in the building, and it's a great place to escape from 21st century life. The bar and restaurant service is friendly and prompt, and the breakfast is tasty. However, the car park is too small and the bar prices are a bit steep. For a truly unique experience, The Mermaid Inn is definitely worth a visit.

We were not staying here but came to the restaurant. We enjoyed our evening and meal.They have a set menu two courses £39.50 and Three courses £49.50. Our starters were Assiette of Heritage beetroot with Rosary Ash goats cheese, walnut and orange and Chicken,Leek &Ham hock Terrine with pickles &truffle emulsion. We opted for the PotToast pork belly, sauerkraut, pearl onion,apple ,bacon & mustard ,our sides( extra to set menu) were local sauted greens and buttered potatoes with crispy onions. Dessert was 64% Manjari Chocolate Pave. It's all set in a historical building parts are from 1156 and rebuilt hotel from 1420. The decor is as you would expect from a building of this age.Very good service.

We visited The Mermaid Inn for Sunday lunch. The food was very good. It was a pity at first they didn't want to provide a vegetable side with the Salmon fillet. Although it was good. We weren't sure why we didn't receive a little bread and butter as all the other tables had. It appears only one person could take a food order and the other staff, drinks and water. It appears a bit disjointed in the restaurant. A close table were asked if they wanted any sauces ect halfway through the meal.
