眯盹和美人魚飯店

My wife and I visited The Mytton and Mermaid for the second time since Brunning Price took it over and renovated the establishment into the comfortable and relaxed multi roomed restraunt. Do be aware that it is now very popular and parking can be difficult at times . The small front car park is now patrolled by a parking man at busy times to save it getting blocked . The slightly larger car park at the rear is accessed by the road to the right of the Mytton and Mermaid and does have a couple of EV charging spaces . An access door into the hotel and restaurant is at the side of the building to save the longer walk to main door at the front . We had visited the Shrewsbury Hospital on Tuesday 23rd July and to cheer ourselves up we decided to visit the Mytton and Mermaid. We had tried to phone but got no answer and the on-line booking system showed no availability until much later in the day . We called in on the 'off chance' and found the restraunt relatively quiet with lots of vacant tables - although it did fill up somewhat later in the lump chime session. The staff were very helpful and supportive and quickly found us a table in a large glass ceiled square room just off the main entrance ( where the toilets are) . The Mytton and Mermaid has a number of real ales on offer and I opted for half an average tasting Wye Valley Butty Bach ( £4.80 ) . My wife decided to risk a cocktail to lift her spirits and had a 'Dark and Stormy' - dark Rum and ginger ale - rather too gingery for my taste but my wife liked it . We decided to have a soup as it had already been a long day with an early start .We had a mushroom and Tarragon soup very nice although rather too salty for my taste. I had a decent Chicken and Ham pie whilst my wife had a whole Plaice. My wife started to feel rough with the anaesthetic from her hospital visit wearing off and in severe pain we decided to make a rapid exit . The staff were really kind and found a lidded container for my wife to take the remaining cocktail home with her. The Mytton and Mermaid is not a cheap experience but it does feel 'special' - we look forward to trying it again under better circumstances for ourselves - a recommended relaxing experience.

Hotel is beautifully situated and immaculately maintained, both inside and out. Comfortable rooms, excellent meals, great ambiance and friendly, welcoming and efficient staff. Best hotel I've stayed in. Would definitely go back. So good that we have already visited another in the chain for a meal and planning future trips...
