The Mermaid is able to cater for groups in either the 'Mermaid Restaurant' or on the 'Top-deck'.
The Black Rock Grill at The Mermaid Restaurant
Fabulously refurbished, this 50-seat area brings you a unique, delicious, healthy and totally interactive dining experience. Your meal is presented cooking on volcanic rocks (heated to 440 degrees) at your table so that you can enjoy a delicious meal, freshly prepared by you and your guests to your own personal tastes - whether rare, medium or well done.
The Black Rock Grill method of dining uses a high-temperature rock that sears in all the natural juices and nutrients. All our produce is trimmed of fat and no oils are used in the cooking process. This guarantees a taste that is truly unusual and full of flavour.
Pre-booking is advised for this excellent restaurant due to its popularity with residents, visiting boaters and people living on Guernsey. There is an 'a la carte' menu supplemented with choices from a daily specials board and a childrens menu.
Dress is casual and families are always welcome. There are restricted opening times during our 'low season' so please contact the Mermaid direct to find opening times and availability.
Guests travelling across on the 19:00 Trident sailing from Guernsey will need to add the boat fare onto the menu prices.

The 'Top-Deck' :
This is an outdoor covered dining area where guests can enjoy a freshly cooked barbecue. We have also invested in a Hog Roasting unit, which can roast whole pigs and whole chickens simultaneously.
Guests choose between various set menus that have to be ordered in advance of the night. The 'Top-Deck' will seat around 100 people on a number of large tables. Food is freshly cooked on gas barbecues on the top-deck while you watch. If there are sufficient numbers in the group this area can be allocated for 'sole use'. Some larger groups choose to have live music on the top deck during the evening.
Be it for lunch, or dinner, we can serve barbecue’s for your private event in this attractive setting, featuring it’s own conservatory roofing, space heaters if necessary, and it’s own private bar area, which has been redesigned this year. Groups are required to pay a deposit on booking with the balance payable prior to the function date. There is a private bar for groups using the 'top-deck', so as to avoid having to queue in the tavern's main bar.
This option is only available to pre-booked groups and not 'chance' diners. For further information please contact The Mermaid Tavern direct on (01481) 710170 for details of menu choices, booking availability and group sizes. or email to mermaid@herm-island.com
