Nestled in the sleepy village of Rye, The Mermaid Inn is a seemly reminder of just how good a pub can be.

While the charm of the place constantly attracts new faces through its doors, the award-winning menu is what turns many into regulars.

Serving up top-quality British and French cuisine, all its dishes are made with only the freshest ingredients.

The restaurant offers a four-course table d’hote dinner menu in addition to an inventive vegetarian set meal and a strong a la carte menu, which are the reasons why the inn was awarded three RAC stars and two AA rosettes.

You might even bump into a celebrity, as previous guests include Pierce Brosnan and Johnny Depp.
