We enjoyed our meal and out servvice. My American freinds could not manage the potatoes and i think maybe they would have like to have the option of chips instead. wasnt sure if you could ask for options.

it was a quiet Sunday, but the food, beer, staff and atmosphere were warm, friendly and enjoyable as usual. To cap it all off, we had a wonderful table looking directly onto the river at sunset. Hard to beat - thanks to everyone involved!

As always, the food was freshly cooked and delicious as well as reasonably priced. The staff were attentive and friendly and considering how busy the Mayflower always is, the food was very fast arriving. I prefer the upstairs restaurant, which has a great ambience and sense of history in this very old pub. Always a favourite.

A good meal at a reasonable price. Menu options were plentiful with good options for vegetarians in our party. We were looking to have a relaxed meal without being pressurised by the staff and that's exactly what we received.

In our quest to eat in the oldest or most historic pubs in London, we came upon The Mayflower. It is supposed to be the oldest pub on the river Thames. The Mayflower offers great views over the river from both the outside covered patio and upstairs in the restaurant. Can you just see the Pilgrim Fathers Mayflower ship moored here? If the walls could talk, can you just hear the stories they would tell about what went on here almost 400 years ago. We were warmly greeted and seated at a window upstairs overlooking the Thames. This pub is old, paneled and totally captivating. Our server, Fatima, took excellent care of us. We decided on two very different selections for lunch. I went for the Vegetarian Platter with Falafel, Hummus, Baba Ganoush, olives, crudités, and Focaccia bread – very interesting and delicious. My husband was in the mood for a burger. They offered a 8 oz. beef burger with 35 day Hung Scotch Beef Steak in a sourdough bun with Gherkin, chips and coleslaw – he was thrilled. We really enjoyed our lunch. If you are going to the Brunel Museum, stop here for lunch.

The Mayflower is a real gem, backing on to the river and steeped in history. It's both a proper pub and a restaurant, with well kept beer, good no nonsense, tasty unpretentious food and staff who were delightful, friendly and helpful. We'll be going again.

The Mayflower was a bustling pub on a Tuesday evening. Fortunately we were dining upstairs where it was quieter. Good service, coupled with good food. We had mussels and scallops to start (my partner commented that the mussels were a little gritty), followed by a venison and lentil pie and the lamb fillet salad. The pie was really good, the salad was good but a little wet for my liking. It deserves to be as busy at it was as it was a very good pub meal!

Service fast and efficient, food good with generous portions. Pudding disappointing because although it was a lovely creme brûlée , it was straight from the fridge and would have been so much better warm.

Amazing atmosphere, amazing food and amazing staff. They were also extremely accommodating, I suffer from 5 quite tricky food allergies and they went out of their way to ensure I was looked after. I can't recommend this pub enough - make sure to book as they get incredibly busy.

Excellently efficient and friendly customer service from Fatima in the Mayflower restaurant simply cannot be faulted. Compliments to the chef too - my wife and I enjoyed three courses apiece from the varied main menu, and enjoyed every well prepared and presented mouthful. Atmospheric surroundings on the banks of the Thames, which are steeped in history. I have no hesitation in recommending - we'll be back with a bigger group in future!

We had a late lunch last Saturday for a group of seven. I enjoyed a starter of perfectly cooked scallops followed by a tasty steak and Guinness pie with nicely crunchy veg and chips. The service was casual but friendly and the whole offering provided good value for money. My only complaint was that we were made to vacate the table at 16:00 even though it was clear that no-one else needed it - I got the feeling that they just wanted us out so they could put their feet up.
