Awesome place,, we'll keep coming back for sure. The food and the views are worth going alone, but the staff add that extra 5* treatment

Great pub and food. A little off the beaten track but well worth the effort to get there. Sitting outside in the summer is really nice and a glass of wine inside during the winter is just as good.

Glad we finally got round to booking a table. Every time we've been in the past, it's been ridiculously busy and we gave up after a standing pint or two. Lovely to discover the atmospheric dining room upstairs. Friendly staff and good food.

Fantastic meal, with kind, professional, and efficient service. Delicious food, beer, and cider. Atmosphere cannot be beat. Dessert was a bit of letdown, especially due to everything that came before it.

The Mayflower is always a reliable choice for a good pub meal in historic surroundings. On this occasion I took a few friends with me and they were suitably impressed. Good food, friendly service, great location.

Great food and a great location. The Pies were proper pies (not a pot of meat with a pastry lid on top) - this is important! :-)

We LOVE this place! The food is amazing and there is so much choice. One tiny point that lets them down is the feeling of being rushed as they are so busy and they are keen to get you served and get you out. Having said that, we will continue to enjoy our Sunday roasts with them and recommend them to others.

As ever, a great evening at the Mayflower. The food has never disappointed and the service always friendly and efficient. We had a joint birthday celebration on the 22nd of October and the price--quality relationship is terrific, fair prices and very good food. We live directly across the river in Wapping and with the less than 2 minute Overground (tunnel) crossing, this has become our regular place. We are there again later this week. What is a better recommendation than that?

Lovely old pub on the banks of the Thames, but not very accessible if you need assistance. The upstairs dining room is not big and therefore gets packed. The food is good but not great at these prices. Range of beers is excellent including properly cask-conditioned ales.

Seriously cutesy oldie pub, it sort of makes you think you might even be on the ship. It was a very lovely evening, with friendly and attentive table service. One of the short-crust pastry pies of the day was venison, bacon and lentil. Together with the gravy it tasted fantastic.! Very much recommended.

The place was nice but the food was average. We did not know we will made to sit in the dining area which has no views of the thames. So we had to order food there, pay there, bring food downstairs and eat in the open area. The location should be clearly specified during table booking.

This is the third time I've been here, and each time I've really enjoyed my visit. We were in a party of 6 and everyone said just how much they enjoyed the food, the ambience and the friendly and informed service. Even though it was a busy Sunday lunchtime, at no time did we feel rushed or pressured to finish our meal, which meant that everyone had a related and enjoyable experience.

What a lovely place to eat and be merry, flanked by Father Thames the location of The Mayflower is superb for those that want to unwind and dine. The pub has a unique nostalgic charm of the days gone by. Staff that served me were friendly and professional. Will definitely visit again.

A very lovely Sunday roast, generous portions and beautifully cooked. Service is considerate, efficient and friendly. They even reacted to my booking note to give us a window table for the benefit of my friend, whose birthday we were celebrating. Fair prices and a very interesting, characterful venue.

The staff is friendly and efficient as usual. This time, we had to wait a very long time for our food, the rack of lamb was not up to standard, and the vegetable supposed to be in the dish was not there.

Great atmosphere, great staff, meals OK. First visit burgers super. Second visit, in the snug which we thoroughly enjoyed, all had steaks - meat could have been better, cooked exactly as ordered but a bit flavourless - could have done with some garlic. Very much enjoyed our visits thank you.
