Mermaid On The Strand - Pembrokeshire

We live in the village. Keen to support local business ... but sorry... Awful. The food was awful! Dry and old. They did offer an alternative but it was SO awful that I was happy to leave. Never again.

We tried to go back as a party of five while in Saundersfoot this August but, as other reviewers have commented, it was closed. We phoned to find out if it would reopen and were told it was closed because of staff shortage. Interesting that the website now says it's being restructured.... They lost a lot of business this summer.

We rather fancied visiting this restaurant from looking at its website and were disappointed to find it closed. It didn't have a notice of when it was due to reopen either.

Does anyone know when this place opens again as it currently says on their web site they are closed for a return ?

I had seen many pictures of the food served here on Facebook and Instagram and decided it was definitely a place to visit. So when my friend and brother were down off the four of us went. We had a seafood platter for two, a COD and chips and a brisket. The seafood platter was a little tasteless and the overwhelming aftertaste was just of fried food. There wasn’t really enough to share either e.g. 3 cod balls .... the brisket was also tasteless and small but looked amazing. The cod and chips were however delicious and in fairness the cod was a big piece of fish. Lovely room with views of the coast but despite interesting decor the place lacked atmosphere and the staff seemed disinterested. I was so disappointed especially as friends had raves about it. I shall give it another shot as I think that’s only fair.
