The Mermaid Tavern on Market Place in Prescot has officially opened its doors.
The new pub is from the people behind The Lord Strange and Spanish Caravan. The venue was previously Kingsmen Street Food and the building has now been transformed into a “very high end” space offering comfort and luxury. The pub features bare brick walls, an oak bar with a maple top and a number of Chesterfield sofas and tub chairs.
The new pub took its name from the original Mermaid Tavern pub in London, after one of the owners discovered the story of The Sireniacal Gentlemen and The Gunpowder plot during research. The Mermaid Tavern also features a number of nods to Shakespeare and The Gunpowder plot, with images of Shakespeare and The Sireniacal Gentleman who met at the original Mermaid Tavern.
