Highly helpful staff, reliably good food. As with any restaurant, I's be happier if there was a strictly free-range policy on eggs, chicken and anything containing eggs, e.g, I once enquired there if the tartare sauce contained free-range eggs, and the answer was that egg powder was used, so basically no. This is not a direct criticism of the Mayflower, which I think is generally excellent, just that I think it is archaic that battery hens / their eggs are still widely used in the food industry, and I think places with already good reputations like the Mayflower could gain even wider appreciation by following such ethical practices. Thank you for your service.

Nice pub, lovely service and staff but let down by the food. We both had the roast dinner; the beef was chewy, the yorkshire pudding was a little burnt and the vegetables weren't very fresh. It's a shame as I really like the venue.

Lovely old pub with river views. Good service and cracking food. Save space for the cheeseboard if you can. It was busy on a Monday night so worth booking a table.

We received friendly and attentive service - including being happy to brave the crowded bar to get drinks for those of us who didn't want wine - a great range of excellent food in wonderful ye olde pubbe looking onto the Thames. We left very happy. A deservedly popular pub-restaurant.

Beautiful old pub tucked away in Rotherhithe village. If you're eating then opt to sit downstairs in the pub rather than upstairs in the restaurant (it's a bit cramped but there's loads more atmosphere down there). We had the Sunday roast but it was a bit disappointing (no crackling with the pork!?!). The apple and rhubarb crumble was delicious though. I'd definitely recommend this pub for a quiet pub in a quiet corner - just don't expect too much from your roast.

I find dining at the Mayflower a satisfying experience, both because of the unique historic setting with its relaxed and cosy centuries-old feel, and because the food seems consistently good and tasty. Last night I had the Venison and Bacon Pie with mash and vegetables, washed down with a nice guest ale. The venison made for a rich filling and the pastry was good too, so I think that's my favourite of Mayflower's pies.

Had very nice lunch there, we were seated upstairs with the view of Thames. Menu is quite varied and service was friendly and the decor is very cosy, lots of candles which makes it look very nice when the evening comes.

I went to the Mayflower for Sunday roast. I had the vegetarian Wellington which was delich. My friends had the meat options which looked lovely. The pub is a tight squeeze being as it's so old and small so I would recommend booking a table. It was a great time and I will definitely be going back

The food was excellent, the ambience, even on a quiet midweek lunchtime, was fine. Service was detatched but not unfriendly. The wine, by the glass, was redicoulously expensive for a Chardonnay from a supermarket, incurring a bill alone, of 60 pounds. Total bill for two persons was 99 pounds! Over the the top for a 'Pub Lunch'.
