Recientemente pedimos una cesta de mariscos para llevar de Mermaid's Slipper para pasar un breve descanso en Broads. Inicialmente, el precio de 75 parece mucho, pero la variedad de mariscos y otros productos es suficiente para 4 personas o para 2 personas durante 2 noches, que es lo que hicimos. Lo ideal si quieres disfrutar de un buen marisco local sin tener que ir a un restaurante.

Las revisiones anteriores del Mermaid's Slipper ayudaron a alentar nuestra decisión de navegar a (uno de) los extremos del río Hormiga para atracar durante la noche en Stalham Staithe (que parece ser un secreto ya que éramos el único barco allí ese sábado por la noche) , y no nos decepcionó. El viaje en sí a través de Irstead y Barton Broad es hermoso, y la comida que se sirve es excelente (y se siente como un oasis culinario en comparación con algunas de las otras opciones junto al río en el norte de Broads). Comida deliciosa de alta calidad recién preparada, aunque actualmente restringida a comida para llevar (pero literalmente a unos segundos a pie de los amarres). Esperamos volver (y, con suerte, en un momento para disfrutar de la experiencia completa del restaurante.

Llamado alrededor de las 4 pm para pedir comida para llevar. El teléfono sonó y fue al correo de voz diciendo que deje un número y que le devolverán la llamada. Esperé hasta que se fueron las 6 nadie volvió a llamar, así que tuve que buscar por la zona para conseguir comida. 24 horas después todavía nadie ha llamado. Lo más decepcionado de este restaurante.

Disfrutamos de una deliciosa comida para llevar, la comida era de calidad. Aunque solo se ofrece un menú limitado para llevar, la comida era deliciosa. A muchos les resultaría caro para llevar, sin embargo, la comida es excelente y el servicio amable. Comimos afuera en las mesas en el césped y con vista a los canales. Tuvimos que reservar y pagar el día anterior, ya que los intentos anteriores de hacer el pedido en el día fueron inútiles, aunque esta es la primera vez que nos llevamos, no nos decepcionó.

Simplemente, uno de los mejores restaurantes de Seaford a la par con los restaurantes de Rick Stein en Padstow, que trabaja en circunstancias difíciles con el actual Covid, una situación de 9. ¡Nunca pensé que viviría para ver el día en que pudiera llevarme a casa una cena de pescado y patatas fritas con Lobster Thermidor, Coquilles street Jacques y Butterflied Sea Bass con Samphire en cajas de cartón! Sistema de reserva muy eficiente con compartimentos asignados y camareras, todas con máscaras, por lo que uno sentía que todo estaba seguro y bajo control. Tan bueno que volvimos dos noches más tarde para otra comida. Puedo recomendar este restaurante.

Vi que el restaurante estaba abierto de nuevo para comida para llevar de mariscos. Como era uno de nuestros lugares favoritos antes de Covid, decidimos hacer un pedido.Dado un tiempo de 19. 15 pm para la recolección, llegó posiblemente 2 o 3 minutos antes, la joven salió y dijo que recibiría el pedido, 15 minutos después finalmente apareció.Habíamos pedido gambas rebozadas fritas, ostras rebozadas fritas, una lubina a la parrilla a la parrilla y un lomo de bacalao al horno y una guarnición de samphire.Las gambas y las ostras estaban definitivamente rebozadas, demasiado grasosas. La lubina estaba perfecta, sin embargo el lomo de bacalao estaba rebozado y frito, también estaba muy grasoso y había que dejarlo. El samphire era horrible, no lo que yo clasificaría como fresco y demasiado cocido.Lección aprendida, no más comida para llevar de mariscos.Todavía volveré cuando el restaurante esté completamente abierto nuevamente solo para asegurarnos de que este fue "único" y los estándares muy altos habituales todavía están allí.

Lamentablemente, en este momento debido a las restricciones del coronavirus, este pequeño y encantador restaurante ahora solo sirve comida para llevar. Habiendo dicho eso, el menú se ve excelente, skate, langosta, ostras, etc. No es el típico chippy en la calle principal. Tampoco es demasiado caro, por lo que si tiene una celebración especial y no le importa conducir para recoger la comida, seguirá siendo tan buena como siempre. Darle una oportunidad

I was pleased to hear that the Mermaids Slipper was to re open as a fish and chip take away with a difference after the focus lockdown.What a difference we ordered takeaway with friends, two of us had the haddock one the cod and I had the skate.All the fish was amazing great batter the chips were perfect all portions came with a slice of lemon, tartare sauce and pickled courgette.We also ordered a pot of the gravy which I highly recommend you get some perfect for dipping chips into.In conclusion it is well worth getting the takeaway you will not be disappointed, I will first on the phone to place my order on Wednesday when they are next open.To all the staff at the Mermaids Slipper keep up the good work amazing food as always, look forward to when you can reopen the resturant

The Mermaids has been our first choice ‘special’ meal restaurant for a few years but this was our first visit since the change of ownership and were were not disappointed!The evening was built around a taster menu with timing perfect to allow the night to drift along without having to wait too long between courses.Staff were very good, polite and attentive. I’m sure all regulars will miss Caroline and Richard but all good things must change and the restaurant has not gone backwards at all.Will we be back - of course!

We first visited this place for Sunday lunch I had booked it as a surprise for my husband ,when I told him the area he wasn’t impressed until we entered the restaurant,then his impressions changedAs you walk in you are shown to a lovely setted area with settees and log fire to sit and order your drink ,then your glasses are taken for you to your table,you are treated properly sir and madam which really makes a change nowadays We as a middle aged couple hate being called guys Which seems to be the norm Back to the mermaids slipper we had appetisers,then lovely home made bread which was delicious,then main course, oh and had to have pudding to get the whole experience the whole time the staff where efficient and polite. So last night valentines my husband had booked to eat here again as we where so impressed , he was very lucky to get in as he got a cancellation the menu was a set menu , which I will add a picture as to much to mention ,the food here is very different,the fish and chips , you automatically think is deep fried ,not this ,it was a lovey cod loin in a sauce with new potato crisps all very nice the menu was done as a scroll with heart ribbon and a fresh red rose to take home the place was packed which says it all . They also donate some proceeds to a charity So if you want a special meal try here I don’t think you will be disappointed,I’m a fussy eater and love the whole experience and your treated as people not a table number Keep up the good work we will be back

This restaurant tucked away off Gt. Yarmouth to Wroxham Road at Stalham Staithe. It is very attractive at night with lights round. We went for Sunday Lunch this time of year only opened Friday & Saturday evenings and Sunday Lunch. We were warmly welcomed and asked if we wanted to,sit in lounge which was delightful. Had a stunning glass:mirror floor to ceiling very attractive. A Woodburner and several comfy sofas . We enjoyed a very reasonably priced glass of champagne. Whilst we looked at menu. We chose 3 courses. We were given a tasty salt cod canapé then I had scallops with chorizo and my husband had pear blue cheese walnut salad as a starter. I then had a very generous portion of dry matured beef my husband had the smoked haddock spinach & chestnut mushroom pie. Both accompanied with generous portions of carrot &;parsnip,sticks red cabbage cauliflower cheese and a large Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes mine had a jug of gravy to accompany roast beef. It is always nice to have extra gravy in a jug to help,citrus fruit ice cream and chocolate brownie with sauce. All the courses were tasty and we were served by friendly attentive waitresses dress very smartly. This restaurant also has the added attraction of giving profits to children in Tanzania. There was an informative leaflet in lounge and on table explaining this concept. 22 trips have been made to Tanzania . We felt this was a wonderful way to help poor children to eat. Started off by supplying the schools with toothbrushes. It was a really lovely,place to,visit and food excellent but we felt that we had both helped hungry African children to have food too

Small outside and quite unassuming BUT it packs a punch in a good way. Warm, friendly and inviting from the moment you walk in. Sat near the fire, relaxed look at the menu over a glass of whatever G&T; or wine we fancied. Then shown to our table. Menu not extensive but enough, but the food was absolutely superb, and we all had something different. Beef was excellent, dauphinoise potatoes amazing. This is a grown up restaurant for those that like good quality food. Portion sizes would appear smaller than you would hope for BUT do not be deceived - I was full by the end of the meal and I can hold my own on that front. The balance and quality of flavours were beautiful. Not cheap but not extortionate either. Will definitely return for a special, romantic meal with my wife.

Five of us went to the Mermaids Slipper for a celebratory dinner last Saturday evening and what a fabulous time we had. The food was just outstanding and we were all blown away by the flavours and presentation of the entire meal. The attention to detail was just great from the 'welcome to the table' appetiser, the home baked bread, the palate cleansing sorbet and the birthday card !! We highly recommend this restaurant for the food of course but also for its attentive and personable staff who just couldn't do enough for us. We had some well travelled diners with us and they both said they had rarely eaten such outstanding food. We wish you much luck and the added bonus of profits heading to a wonderful charitable cause providing meals for hungry children in a poorer part of the world is an added string to your bow. Well done. Thank you all again

Qué fabulosa ubicación y deliciosa comida. Gracias al equipo Queríamos un regalo para llevar a mi madre a un almuerzo de cumpleaños. Por casualidad no podríamos haber encontrado un lugar mejor. Aparcamos justo afuera, nos recibieron con un fuego rugiente y cómodos sofás, tomamos un delicioso aperitivo y nos llevaron a nuestra mesa que daba al río. La comida fue fabulosa, deliciosos entrantes llenos de sabor, comí una ensalada de pulpo y mango, y abundantes platos principales. Tres de nosotros cenamos asados: la carne de res se parece más a un filete con todos los adornos y más. Nos gustó especialmente la salsa extra. Dos de nosotros tuvimos los platos de pescado que también eran hermosos. Nos ofrecieron extras fabulosos durante toda la comida: el pan casero y los chocolates fabulosos para terminar fueron lo más destacado. Esta bien comer tan bueno, si no mejor, que cualquier cosa que hayamos tenido en Londres. Mucho mejor por saber que los ingresos van a una buena causa.

Mi compañero organizó un almuerzo sorpresa el domingo, la comida era excelente e impecable. El único inconveniente de la visita fue la actitud de la camarera con cabello rubio atado en una cola de caballo, sin nombre. Cuando pedí cucharas para servir las verduras, ¡parecía que era demasiado problema! Se observó que pasó tiempo con otros comensales conversando, pero no nos dio la misma cortesía, quizás porque los conocía claramente y esta era nuestra primera visita. Cuando mi compañero pagó con tarjeta, no se dio cuenta de que tenía que confirmar la cantidad antes de ingresar su pin, esto se enfureció. Realmente triste ya que nos hubiera encantado volver pero no por esto o recomendar a otros. ¿Quizás no debería juzgar un libro por su portada, es decir, estábamos vestidos casualmente mientras que otros vestían chaquetas / trajes y vestidos?

This was my third time at The Mermaid's slipper and every time has been consistently extraordinary. We were seated by friendly staff that were attentive and warm throughout our time there. The food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing, packed full of flavour and innovative ideas that made each course exciting as it came out. Outside it sits in a charming location opposite a harbour and inside is a warm, comforting atmosphere. Their passion for food and dining is obvious and makes you feel like you're getting something special. It all added up to making us feel like we could have stayed all night.

A lovely location with a lovely vibe, friendly and professional staff who are happy in their job and nice music in the background. My husband had muscles, venison and lemon tarts. I had Cromer crab salad and fillet steak and cheese board. Yes it can sound matter of fact but it was far from it. Served with beautiful fresh accompaniments - I had a wonderful variety of mushrooms. A lovely bottle of Malbec accompanied our final meal of our holiday. If you find yourself in the area this is a must! Treat yourselves!!

We had a fantastic evening at this restaurant last night. Although the menu is limited, the hostess ( we did not get her name) said a new bigger menu would be introduced at end of September; we could not complain with any of the dishes we had. One of our group is a vegetarian & there was only one starter & one main, she was not so keen on having mushrooms in her main course, the hostess said it was not problem & the chef came up with a cheese based surprise, which she thoroughly enjoyed. I had the smoked duck for starter, beautifully tender, amazingly presented. The fillet steak was sublime, tender, flavoursome.......I can't praise the food enough, one of the best meals I have ever had. The Malbec wine complimented the steaks beautifully.

We have lived in the area for years and are about to move away. We have always said we would visit The Mermaids Slipper so this was our last chance and thank goodness we did as the lovely owners are also moving away and finish next week. It will be staying as a restaurant with the new owners but they will certainly have a lot to live up to. We were met at the door and sitting in comfy sofas with an aperitif within a few minutes. We didn’t know any of the other diners but the ambience encouraged everyone to smile and say hello. The food wasn’t fussy but wonderfully cooked and presented well. This was the best restaurant meal we have had in Norfolk by far. We had mackerel pate served with lime jellies and scallops with sweet chilli sauce. Both were delicious. This was followed by duck with plum sauce and beef fillets with peppercorn sauce. The plum which came with the duck was intense and perfect for the dish. I was worried that the duck might be too pink but it was just right. My husband’s beef was delicious and really tender. We don’t normally have dessert but we decided on sticky toffee pudding and ice cream wrapped in crepe with toffee sauce. At the risk of effusing I have to say I have never had a better dessert and although my husband let me taste his pudding he didn’t leave half of it for me to finish like he usually does! Aperitifs, 3 courses, bottle of wine, coffee and brandy and the bill was less than £140. A bit pricey but for a special occasion well worth it. You get what you pay for in life and you certainly get your money’s worth here. Good luck to the new owners and thanks for a memorable evening and best wishes to the current owners.

Los propietarios son muy dedicados a garantizar que el servicio y la calidad de los platos sean de primera clase y brindaron una maravillosa comida vegana para nuestra hija que no estaba en el menú normal. Sin duda volveremos a comer allí pronto. ??

Our friends booked dinner at short notice at this charming restaurant. From the moment we walked in the door it was a pleasure being there. The service was excellent as was the atmosphere. The tables are well positioned and not too close to each other. We chose a selection of dishes from the menu and they were all of a high standard (there was nothing left over). Most definitely a hidden gem and well worth a visit, we will be back for Sunday lunch.

The service was fantastic as was the food. Would highly recommend eating here. Carol is an absolute legend we visited on Saturday evening with friends and when we mentioned the possibility of coming the next day as a couple even though it was Mother’s Day she did squeeze us in for Sunday lunch. Both meals were lovely even the chef came out to ask how the food was. Amazing food food as was carol’s wine recommendations will certainly visit again. Just a shame we live so far away. Would love to have a restaurant like this in our doorstep. Do visit - you’ll not be disappointed!!

Booked Sunday lunch, received a very friendly welcome. We relaxed on the comfy sofa in front of the log burner in the lounge area with a glass of champagne whilst we chose from the menu, the food was well presented and absolutely delicious, the lady host was very friendly and looked after us well! The menu isn’t cheap but we really enjoyed the whole experience! it was our first visit but definitely won’t be our last in fact can’t wait to experience this charming cozy restaurant in the evening

This evening my partner and I spent a lovely evening in this beautiful restaurant. From the greeting when you walk through the door you meet Caro, she is a warm person who looks after you from start to finish.

We so enjoyed our special meal at this restaurant. The welcome was warm and genuine, with pre-dinner drinks in the lovely lounge area followed by stunning food in dining room.

So happy we stumbled across this little gem, did an unplanned walk in and the maitre d’ couldn’t do enough to help and make a table available. The food was amazing as was the house wine recommendations to go with it. Everything was cooked to order in a timely fashion with impeccable presentation. We will be going back next time we are in the area.

We had the best meal out ! It was all home cooked to perfection,everything we had was amazing. Although they do not do a kids menu they were very accommodating to their needs only down side was you have to pay full price on a sat eve...but honestly our children were older anyway and ate every bite even the vegetables which were Delicious so for us it was more than worth it ! Lovely atomosphere too

Went for an evening meal on a Saturday night. Upon arriving we received a lovely welcome and were shown to some comfy sofas where our drinks order was taken. We all had 3 courses and could not fault a single thing. For the quality of food we had the price was bang on. The menu was varied, not extensive, but something for everyone. We will all be returning that’s for sure!

Well, if it’s an experience in addition to a wonderful food, Mermaid is the place. Husband booked for my birthday. We’re usually very transactional with places to eat, as long as the food is good, we come, eat and are gone quickly. This was a very different experience, very relaxing without any pressure. Smart but laid back, the place has got it absolutely perfect. Thank you!

The food was too expensive as the food was not that great I found the waiter to be very rude and unhelpful. She came across quite aggressively was very disappointed. The atmosphere in the restaurant is good but too pricey for the food you get.

We booked a table based on the reviews and it was amazing. We were looked after on arrival with a drink and then show to the table. The food was very good and a lovely and bright athmosphere.

Superb! Great location off the beaten track, lovely ambiance, warm and friendly staff and food to savour. Home cooked Sunday roast beef with all the trimmings, homemade dessert amongst others (hazelnut and chocolate mousse hmmm). Ideal location for couples and family and friends get together.

Vi por primera vez este restaurante hace unos 12 meses mientras estaba en la zona, pero no pensé más en ello. Mientras buscaba un lugar para comer, surgió en TripAdvisor con algunas muy buenas críticas, así que reservamos una mesa para dos. Nos sorprendió muy gratamente y sin duda volveremos. El edificio es precioso y el ambiente era muy relajante.

Presentamos a otro amigo nuestro a este fabuloso restaurante el sábado. La cálida bienvenida y la deliciosa comida de alta calidad nunca dejan de impresionar a nuestros huéspedes. Gracias por otra velada encantadora y especial. Esperamos volver a verlo y sin duda recomendaremos el Mermaid's Slipper a todos nuestros huéspedes en Grove Stables en East Ruston.

Fuimos muy recomendados por amigos para probar la Zapatilla de la sirena y no nos decepcionó. La bienvenida fue tan encantadora, bebidas en el salón antes de ir al comedor. Ambiente encantador, comida fantástica. En el lado caro. . . Pero realmente vale la pena ya que disfrutamos de todo sobre nuestra visita.

Had a fantastic meal last night. The atmosphere was great, enjoyed pre meal drinks in the lounge and then once my partner and myself ordered we were moved to our table. Starters and mains were delicious, the only problem was my partner was so full she couldn't finish her desert ! . I had no problem in that department. Everyone there was very welcoming and our waiter/owner was both engaging and had a great sense of humour. Would highly recommend. Nice touch was the the chef came out and said hello at the end of the meal.
