We stayed in Porth over the bank holiday weekend and had thought we might eat at the Mermaid as it was really close to our accommodation. Unfortunately, the appearance of the place put us off. It was shabby and tired and clearly needs a complete refurbishment program to bring it up the standard expected by most customers these days. With... More

This is a nice little pub on the beach. I ordered the Cod and Chips and was very happy with the quality of food served. Home made chips and freshly battered fish. None of that terrible frozen stuff.
