We make British food with a classic or modern slant. We source our ingredients from the local fields, woodlands and waters. Everything is cooked on the premises, including the bread and the icecreams.The Good Food Guide (2023) says: "A fittingly quaint old building, complete with original features, given a suave modern twist via grey panelling and contemporary furniture. Chef-proprietor Martin Peacock has built his menu on classical French traditions and impeccable sourcing and there’s real creativity and originality on show here. The international wine list offers a decent but not overlong selection, with accessible pricing."Vegetarian: we will always offer at least one starter and one main vegetarian choice. However, we cannot cater for vegans and if you have a life threatening food intolerance we (and our insurance company) are unable to take the booking.***Please note, due to customer allergies, we cannot allow dogs on the premises.

We had a lovely evening celebrating my partners birthday. We are local to Rye and often dine or lunch in The Mermaid. The food was delicious and was plentiful in a lovely dining room. However our evening was sum what spoiled by the couple dining behind us. They complained about every dish they ate and how individual ingredients were over powering others. They must have watched MasterChef recently and become food critics. We had the same dishes and they were delicious.
