merletto does not serve fast food but rather fine food as fast as we can & at busy times there may be unavoidable delays in bringing your food out to your table after you have ordered. This is because every course is cooked from fresh at the time of order to your requirements.

bookings are advisable for both small and large parties, groups of over 10 are requested to pre order if possible. do have a look at our party menus as an option for larger gatherings. exclusive menus can be created for party bookings with prior consultation with the chef

please call us on 01404 43131 to arrange bookings which are advisable at all times

we operate a strict non smoking policy throughout the restaurant but you may smoke in the garden if you wish

due to the rather ancient history of the building and the presence of a number of flights of internal steps, it is advisable for disabled people to contact us in advance if you feel these may cause you access problems. We cannot provide wheelchair access to the WC's
