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!
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.

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.
