I can’t say enough good things about the manager here she is the heart and soul of the place. Every time I visit, she welcomes everyone with the kind of warmth and positivity that instantly makes you feel at home. Her presence creates such a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
The service is second to none consistently attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. You never feel like just another customer you feel valued and looked after from the moment you walk in.
And the food. Absolutely exceptional. Always fresh, full of flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. Every dish reflects the pride they take in what they do.
It’s rare to find a place where the service, food, and atmosphere all come together so perfectly, but it’s obvious that her leadership is what ties it all together.
Our server was Kyle we forgot to order an extra piece of chicken on one of the burgers and he sorted it for us, such a lovely lad great service from him and over all we all really enjoyed our food it was delicious we always come here because of how nice the staff and the food is it never disappoints can’t wait to come back again x
We visited at 5pm on a Monday evening, there were parking spaces available and plenty of tables to choose from. The atmosphere is pleasant with quiet background music and the staff were polite. We ordered via the app which was easy to use, drinks arrived in 5 minutes with food 5 minutes later. We ordered the Beyond Burger Stack which comes with fries but were a little disappointed, it's not much of a stack for £10.99. It was hot and well cooked however. We followed that with vegan chocolate torte and toffee & bourbon pudding with custard which were both very nice.
Just revisited The Merlin, prior to our New Year celebrations for breakfast. We found the place clean and tidy with the staff very helpful and polite. We ordered 2 of the smallest breakfasts and added toast on both and black pudding on one, this with orange juice x2 and coffee x2 and this came to below £15. Food was cooked to our liking, they even did one with well done bacon for us.
