Thanks for spending Valentine's 2020 at The Mermaid
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Valentine’s 2020 at The Mermaid!
Valentine’s is all about appreciating moments with that special someone, which is what so many of our guests did whilst treating themselves to our special 3-course menu.
From Slow-Cooked Pork Belly and 10oz Ribeye Steak to Lemon Meringue Pie and Belgian Chocolate Brownie, we had plenty of delicious sweet and savoury dishes to satisfy everyone’s appetite!
In fact, it was such a wonderful occasion that our chefs are already eagerly at work creating a completely new Valentine’s Menu especially for 2021. If you’d like to be the first to see it, as well as hear all about our other plans throughout the year, sign up to our mailing list or download the Vintage Inns app and register today.
