"If you’re partial to crackling fires and Shakespearian energy when you have a drink, head to The Mayflower. The ancient Rotherhithe pub is named after the Mayflower ship that set off from here to Cape Cod back in 1620, so expect lots of charming maritime trinkets scattered about. Given its location on the Thames and its history, it’s a boozer that’s as loved by Londoners as it is by visiting tourists. Its outdoor deck is a killer spot to get a drink while looking out onto the Thames’ lapping waters." - jake missing, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley

Amazing staff, you can even say fabulous. Food was awesome and on point... Scotch eggs were perfect. Great historical value as an American as parts of the disassembled mayflower were used to build part of the deck area. 💯 Worth the visit. The locals and staff are extremely nice and accommodating.

An impressive location on the river Thames is the perfect spot for this historical pub. Came here for lunch on a weekend and I was seated immediately, with a choice of tables. The Italian girl Giulia, who took care of me, poured a perfect pint of Guinness and showed me the menu. The staff all look happy and smiling with each other throughout the service. I was well attended to and given some good advice on choices. This is not "fine dining," as in it is not a stuffy formal best cutlery and linen type of affair. It is simply excellently prepared. I had the Roast Pork Belly (as per advice), and the food was sublime. A second pint of Guinness and I was ready to pay. The cost is fair and proportioned to the place (maybe even cheaper than it could) The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent. Definitely to a place to visit!

Now you know I am a fan of an out of the way quality pub but this one really does excel in every way. Discovered this gem of a pub whilst on a walk along the south side of the river and it doesn't disappoint. Lovely and dark and cosy inside but step outside and you can literally sit on the river and just watch the world go by. It was a bit damp on the day of our visit but I can only imagine how beautiful this would be when the sun is out. Great selection of local ales too.

one of my favourite pubs in london, the food is absolutely amazing every time, the staff is super friendly, and the location is brilliant — you can see the river and the outdoors seats are pretty much on it, but the pub itself is still tucked away in a cute little street. it has a cozy charming vibe in winter and a lovely light summery vibe when it’s warm

I recently visited Mayflower and had one of the most delightful dining experiences! The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Sunday roast, which was nothing short of amazing. It's easily one of the best Sunday roasts I've ever enjoyed in the city. The pub's location added to the charm of the experience, boasting a wonderful setting that complements its warm atmosphere. Moreover, the staff was incredibly friendly, making our visit even more pleasant. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch Sunday roast in a great location

Great historic pub with fantastic food and warm service. We had a memorable meal here, celebrating my mother’s birthday. Wonderful overall experience, and my lamb in particular was delectable. Chocolate tart was also fantastic.

What an outstanding and ostentatious and eclectic historic Pub! You gotta head over here and check it out. Gets crowded after 5 on week days. A reservation is a great idea to get a cozy table inside. There is outside seating facing the river with provided heat but can still get a bit chilly, but alas there are blankets available to borrow!

This is a great pub. It looks and feels exactly what you would expect an English pub to look like if you were an American tourist, except there don’t seem to be many tourists (due to it being in Rotherhithe!) I’ve been once on Sunday and once on a weekday. The Roast beef on the Sunday lunch menu was tender and the gravy was rich and flavourful. I also thoroughly recommend the whitebait for a starter. The regular menu is also fantastic, especially the pork belly, mussels, and fish and chips. There’s nothing on it that I wouldn’t love to try! The service is attentive and the locals are friendly. I didn’t see the top floor where you can book tables as I was a walk in, but the terrace hanging over the Thames was an experience. Just remember to bring warm layers in the Winter!
