Lovely lunch here today. Some of us had starters as mains, others had the classic fishcake. All delicious and we shared the chocolate bomb to finish. Our waiter was great and as usual all the staff were welcoming and friendly. We miss Jean Francois though! Will be back soon

This was my first visit to Little Mercies and it was absolutely spectacular. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the service was brilliant. Cocktails sensational, and the food was unbelievably good,I honestly think that the beetroot was the best thing I’ve ever eaten. I don’t live anywhere near to this restaurant but feel like I would go out of my way to go back again.

The booking experience was very good. All staff were extremely friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We were left in peace to talk even though we had gone over our allotted time. This was much appreciated. The food was served very quickly and was very tasty. As a dining experience it was most enjoyable. Thank you.
