Get cracking and dive in to the flavour

Welcome to The Mermaid Boil, Plymouth’s first exclusive seafood boil experience. Nestled at The George Inn, we bring the original flavours of Louisiana together with the delicious fresh seafood of the South West coast every Friday night. Grab a table, pull on your gloves, and crack in, it’s seafood done differently. No walk ins, simply choose your preferred Friday event date, book your table, and gather your crew.

Born For Passion, Built For Flavour

Founded in July 2025, The Mermaid Boil was created to shake up the local food scene with something truly different. What started as a small passion project has quickly become a citywide sensation, drawing seafood lovers from Plymouth, Devon, Cornwall, and beyond.

Our mission: deliver unforgettable seafood boils packed with delicious spices, mouthwatering flavours, and plenty of good vibes. Every boil is crafted with care, using the freshest seafood and our signature sauces. It’s totally addictive.
