Fantastic Sunday lunch! The Mayflower is a glorious little gem tucked alongside the River Thames. The food was excellent. Great traditional Sunday roasts, all home cooked with best quality ingredients plus plenty of other choices too. The service was prompt and friendly. We will be going back very soon!

Nice old pub. We have been many times before, however, on this ocassion the food was disappointing. But the staff are lovely, vies over the river made up for it.

First time in the dining room upstairs. The service was warm despite the busy room and there was a nice buzz to the restaurant. Food is robust, comforting pub food - exactly what I needed/ wanted. Recommended.

Great food, good service, it would have been nicer to have been sat downstairs rather than upstairs though, the view is better from the ground

Absolutely fantastic food and location. Let down slightly by the rushed service (and didn't clear the table between starter and main so it got a bit cluttered), and it is quite stuffy upstairs. Would definitely recommend.

The second time I've been to the Mayflower, and on each occasion I have been most pleased. The food is of a very high standard, the staff are friendly and attentive - and I'm an absolute sucker for the (genuine) olde-worlde setting!

We had a great time at this restaurant. We arrived a bit late but the waitress was super helpful and enabled us to order ahead to have dessert as the kitchen was closing. The view was amazing across the Thames, food was great and the atmosphere of the pub was lovely, the bill even came in a little treasure chest. Highly recommend, can't wait to visit again next time in London.

Great riverside pub serving the best Sunday roast on the shores! This is one of the oldest pubs on the river with a heritage like no other ( the Mayflower sailing ) steeped in history this small pub manages to serve some of the best food any pub can offer, couple this with he good choice of beers and wines and most of al friendly front of house staff and you have a winning combination for a great experience.

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.

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!

A lovely position on the banks of the Thames, The Mayflower is an historic and atmospheric pub. The restaurant is upstairs in a wood panelled room with river views. Great British pub food with excellent service.

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.
