We were so pleased that merrimans has startet take outs again. We ordered two meals which were ready on time, just the right portion size, perfectly cooked and delicious to eat at a reasonable price. The menu is extensive and is bound to be popular with discerning diners. We highly recommend.

Wanted somewhere close to town, with parking and a good reputation for my Mums wake and Merriman's completely ticked the box. Natalie was flexible with our buffet choices and allowed us to set up the room as we wished to personalise the occasion. Food was drinks were plentiful and service efficient. We couldn't have asked for more and wouldn't hesitate to return but under better circumstances.

I contacted Merrimans through their website to book a table for 4 on Saturday evening… I received a prompt reply that the table was booked for us at 7.15… brilliant! We arrived on time to a warm and friendly atmosphere… shown to our table and we’re informed that the large party booked in earlier arrived late.. so we would have a delay on our service. No problem at all. We ordered from a very substantial menu and all our meals came at the same time… Beautifully presented and piping hot. My meal of thick salmon fillet with new potatoes, spinach, long green beans and tomatoes was excellent. The other 3 diners with me all had different meals and all said the same. The service was really friendly but not obtrusive! We had desserts and coffee… again first class. Many thanks to the chef… we were led to believe he was alone in the kitchen. WELL DONE ALL OF YOU …WE WILL RETURN!!!! 😊😊😊😊

I thought long and hard before leaving a negative review as I know times are hard but myself and my husband had such a dreadful experience for what wasn't particularly cheap meals I felt compelled to review to save others hard earned money being wasted. My husband ordered steak with chips and onion rings. He asked for peas instead of cabbage. Yes cabbage with steak! No peas chips were dry and the onion rings were a bit of onion skin in batter which had been deep fried more than once. When cutting them the batter exploded to leave just a pile of hard batter. Steak was "ok not juicy. Mediocre". I ordered salmon. I was given the choice of chips or new potatoes and veg or salad. I chose chips and veg without the cabbage. What I received was a bowl of sliced new potatoes on microwave zapped cabbage carrots green beans and sliced fresh tomatoes. The veg had been microwaved to death had no taste texture was something I have never experienced, all sitting in a large pool of oil. I shared my husbands chips. I was advised the potatoes and veg were all pre prepared so that's what was dished up regardless of my choice. We did not stay for coffee or desserts. My husband complained and was told "I'll tell the "chef"". No chef came out or offered any attempt to make it right. We paid £50 for that and 2 drinks. I would avoid until there is a better chef.

Booked this for the wake of my husband, the manager/landlady was very helpful and went out of her way to give us what we wanted. On the day the food was great- everyone said what a good spread and how nice the food was. We had a picture board which was put up with no trouble. There was a wide range of food which was all tasty. Some of our party stayed at the local premier inn and stayed later without a problem, she even let us take the extra food home ( we took some as I hadn’t eaten with talking to everyone there) Thank you for making the day go well, as you can imagine it was quite an emotional day but they were considerate to that and dealt with everything well.

Last night my wife and I were at Merrimans with a group of about 20 persons. Natalie, the owner, made sure that we were well looked after. We had good service and excellent portions of quality food which was just as hot as it should be. (The beef was excellent). I have experienced restaurants which gave very small portions resulting in me never returning there. Certainly not the case here, will recommend to others and will return Clean and friendly establishment. Good Parking and free wifi.

My sister and brother in law brought us here for early evening dinner last Wednesday. We had just arrived from Northern Ireland that day and were ready for food. They come here on a regular basis. 3 of us took from the early bird menu and my brother in law took the rib-eye steak. My sister and myself took the scampi and my husband had the battered fish. Very tasty food and lovely cosy and friendly surroundings. I can imagine sitting here on a cold day too and relaxing. Excellent staff and very reasonable prices.

This will have been my 3rd or 4th visit to this restaurant and whilst the atmosphere and welcome were always good the food never really quite matched up. Tonight , however, was different. I always avoid battered Fish and Chips because it rarely comes close to your proper Chippy experience. Tonight, I didn't fancy anything else on the menu so I ordered Cod and chips off the early bird menu. Excellent. As good as anything I have sampled before. 10/10

The process of booking a table wasn't easy, the lady seemed distracted, flurried and undecided if she could cope with our small party. However, once we were at our table ( in a quiet corner of an almost empty restaurant), things greatly improved. The food was fresh, very well cooked, and generous portions. Service was attentive and courteous, and we liked the fact you could talk easily without shouting above any "background" music. It made for an enjoyable, relaxed experience, and we would definitely return.

The drinks are reasonable priced and what made this a very homely experience was giving the order from the lounge area and then being invited to the restaurant area when the food was ready to be served. In our party of four, each had a different dish. The food was of a very high standard and extremely tasty, but at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend this establishment and advise booking to avoid disappointment in this busy restaurant.

The Mix Grill was a treat even though they had no sausages we had extra gammon and chicken this was possibly the best meal and service we have received here. I would like to ask you pass this on to the bar staff and waiting staff and praise them for a fabulous evening and please ignore my previous review we all have an off day and after a great time the staff must have been on one as the service like I say was fantastic...........Hope to have many more great times here !

I have been to this restaurant a few times as it is a favourite of a friend of mine. I have never been overwhelmed, but my most recent visit was in my view far from one to recommend.In summary, my thoughts were: the waitress's attitude and performance were bordering on the commedic, the meal was not bad, but nothing special and better value for money can be found elsewhere. It was guessed that there was scrimping in some areas due to a shortage of ingredients.What did surprise me was that there was a man in the bar who appeared to be known to the staff, who was broadcasting his conversation and demonstrating his proficiency in loading his conversation with the F word; not a pleasant ending to dinner

We are regular diner at the Merrimans and as usual the food is fantastic i had something different this time thinking i would catch the chef out but not the case the food was excellent!. The Biggest disappointment was the experience from the bar staff and the cold reception we received. Jane who usually takes time to make us feel at ease and has such a warm welcome when you open the door was not working the atmosphere was totally different in an unpleasant way. We did think about not ordering food after the cold reception on delivery of our drinks and going somewhere else. The bar staff was too interested in chatting. We did not have a starter or a dessert as we just wanted to eat our meal and leave. I appreciate different staff need to work but training them on actually being interested in your requirements would be appreciated as a valued customer. I do not like to leave negative feedback but i feel as a small business you will appreciate my comments.

Decided to try Merrimans for the first time, its a bit different to the normal routine!We were warmly welcomed and directed to take a seat on some comfy settees in the lounge, where our drinks order was taken and menu's were presented. In due course the drinks arrived, but it was some time before our order was taken. It became evident that you sat and enjoyed a pre meal drink, ordered and were taken through to the restauarant when the meal was ready. A big improvement on siting at a table waiting ages for the food to arrive.The lunchtime menu is well priced, and our meals arrived very hot, a very different experience, and we intend to return!

Situated on the outskirts of Boston, but within a short drive of the Tesco, Downtown, B&Q shopping area, this restaurant is really homely with lovely staff and a very comfortable bar & restaurant.The menu is not huge, perhaps half a dozen main courses, with similar numbers of starters & sweets, together with a range of lighter meals, but what there is is done very well indeed.I had a New Yorker (chicken breast, bacon & ham, layered) & my wife chose gammon & egg. Both were spot on, as were the chips, hand cut, crispy outside, fluffy inside, little fat, perfect!We were made comfortable in the bar area, where we ordered our meals & sat whilst we waited for them to be cooked.The eating area was nice & airy, & our table had a lovely view across the fields.Mostly local produce.Very reasonable prices.Many Thanks.

I cannot praise the owners and staff of this restaurant enough...belatedly I'm afraid because I thought I had already done so !!What started out, as a quiet meal for four, then six, soon escalated into eighteen !Not a problem for the friendly staff at MerrimansEach meal was attractively presented, piping hot and with a smile from the very willing wait staff. The drinks and wine were reasonable IMO.Nothing was too much trouble and we shall certainly be returning.

A good meal at a reasonable price in a pleasant atmosphere. Food was home cooked and presented well. Staff were very courteous and friendly. Didn't feel rushed, all in all a delaying evening out.

We recently held our Daughter's Christening gathering here. We decided to have a buffet rather than a sit down lunch and were not disappointed. There was ample food for everyone, something to suit all tastes and we received lots of comments from our family and friends on how nice it was. Jane was the lady who looked after us for the afternoon and she was a great host who couldn't have been more accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. Natalie was also great when we discussed the options available to us and when making the booking. I would highly recommend Merrimans if you need a buffet.

Great home cooked food, if going for a light lunch or evening meal all food is cooked to a very high standard. Great menu choices on both lunch and evening meals and they do a light lunch option or an early bird special in the evening if you want to save on the pennies. The main dinner menu is excellent to a high quality

We have eaten at the Merrimans a few times now. We have had a funeral wake, christening, Fathers Day and Sunday lunches. The food is amazing and plentiful. Jane is such a lovely friendly lady, she always ask how I am after we had my husbands funeral wake there. We will continue to eat at the merrimans as we know the food is first class and so is the service. The waitresses are extremely polite and helpful.I would recommend Merrimans to everyone.

We recently had a family meal. One meal off the early bird menu was inedible and even the waitress commented as to it being dry & very over cooked, when I went to pay I was asked if all was ok, she instantly said apart from the overcooked meal!! That was a meal that they still took payment for! I wasn`t in the mood to make a scene as along with this they had also failed to bring out a birthday cake we had taken with us & I was just wanting to get out & home. Talk about disappointing!!

My wife and I had planned to visit another local restaurant, somewhere we always go and eat.On this particular day, however, after finding that my Dad and family had gone out, we planned to pop round to see them, after a family bereavement, I rang my Dad to find he was at Merrimans with the rest of my family, so we hurriedly, a few minutes in fact, switched from where we planned to eat and went to join them. The fact that the change was made quite so fast, it only took a few minutes to have a table booked and ten minutes later be there !! There was no panic, no rush, and no problems organising a table at such short notice. I am not suggesting to do this as a matter of course, but the staff were exceptional at organising this for us. We duly arrived to find my family waiting, a few minutes later our order had been taken and we had a table ready. Only a few minutes later our food came, it was hot, plentiful and delicious. The staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble, they were polite and extremely helpful. The food was very tasty, we even ordered desert, something we never really do, but with Tiramisu on the menu, how could you ignore?? The place, although it doesn't look much from the outside, belies the interior decor, it is homely, welcoming and spacious. There is plenty of room for large parties for any occasion and a comfortable area to sit should you not wish to order food, there is also a large bar area to sit around should you wish to order just sandwiches, which are also very tasty indeed. My favourite is the beef and horseradish, with a bucket of chips and a cold beer !! In short, it was an unexpected Sunday lunch, meeting family, in difficult circumstances, my mum had sadly passed away, a few days before. We were welcomed treated very very well, and the bill was cheap too, cant fault it. A true gem.

Visiting the area for the day, we located The Thatched Cottage via Tripadvisor. Booked a table for late lunch. Fortunately a pleasant day as having our furry friend with us we had to sit outside. Our lunch was as good as hoped for; a generous portion of roast lamb, served on a bed of lovely mash, accompanied by red cabbage, yorkshire pud, roasties and apricot stuffing. The sides of creamy blue cheese leeks and trio of carrots, french beans and swede were colourful and tasty. Our meal was served promptly and the half pints of Doom Bar washed our lunch down nicely. Friendly service A thoroughly enjoyable lunch, a good find which we would recommend We may not have booked had it been a cold wet day, delighted it wasn't. Note to TTCR, perhaps look at a doggy owner corner in your bar for diners over the winter months?

The food was ok, must have been a specials evening as not much to choose from. They seemed understaffed and busy, service after we got our food was poor. The chips were excellent, possibly a new season local potato, the desserts were also very good.
