Mayflower Chinese Takeaway in Wirral

Nancy who fronted for over 25 years was summarily dismissed earlier this month (November). I chatted to Michael who has taken her place, and got on well with him. However there was someone else taking orders last night, 29th. November. I asked for Special Crispy Noodles. When I got home I was disappointed to be presented with an tiny island of crispy noodles in a pool of liquor! Crispy Noodles is supposed to be a dry dish. You add Soy Sauce to suit. I miss Nancy, never had a poorly cooked dish from her. Chris Lord

Great food, great value, MASSIVE bags of prawn crackers

Food excellent .service super staff very friendly and efficient

Mayflower Oxton is very special and May and her team offer quality food at very good prices. Always with a smile and excellent service 100% 😀 thank you May 😊

Superb food, always fast, great portions, friendly staff.

Very nice meals and always polite

Went on Friday for the first time after the good reviews and we weren't disappointed. We ordered Char Siu Cantonese, Special Curry, Triple Crown and Chicken with bamboo and water chestnuts with a mix of fried rice and chips and everything was gorgeous!

Best chinese in the whole of wirral unfortunatly doesn't deliver. But worth the walk. I wouldn't have chinese from.anywhere else.

Amazingly this is the first time I have ordered from here. My regular is usually the orchid but they were closed, and with this lead me to finding another( sooo hungry ). Absolutely not disappointed at all. Probably the nicest chips I've ever had from a chippy. They were light and not greasy, nor a bad chip in sight. We ordered Singapore vermicelli and garlic, chilli chicken with chips for under £14 which was plentiful and delicious. Also a very quick service. 15 minutes after calling...excellent. Will definitely be going back to try other dishes on the menu.

Just phoned up and ordered a few items and whoever the lady was on the phone was rude and arrogant. As I was talking to her she said for me to hurry up and tell her what I want, as I’m in the middle of saying it to her. I’m not slow and I was talking to her quite quickly anyway as I’m assuming they’re busy. Absolutely disgusting how she spoke to me over the phone. If you want customers, treat them with respect as they are paying money into your business. Definitely will not be coming back again

Food cooked to perfection, hot and tasty, 100% recommended

Overcooked fish and chips This is 2 out of 3 meals that have been poor. Not happy ...

100% the best chippy/chinese takeaway in the wirral, ordering from here is always a special treat

I've been going here for more years than I care to remember. They've never let me down.

Absolutely awful. Ordered special fried rice and chips. It was not fried rice it was boiled. Big gungy sticky balls of rice and tasteless. 2 thin pieces of chicken, 2 small pieces of pork. No slices of beef like it used to be, the beef was tiny diced pieces. The chips were oven chips too and old brittle chips mixed in. It was always a treat coming to this place but they are definitely cutting corners and the customer suffers. Wont be coming back Ever.

Super quick service and tasty food

Fantastic Chinese food, reasonable priced, quick service

Waiting area was unheated. Even the server behind the counter had her coat on. Meals were lovely though. Absolutely no complaints there.

Great Chinese food & fast, lovely lady behind counter who always has time to ask how you are😍

Nancy is super lovely, we moved to Wales three years ago and still love coming back to Wirral just to have a takeaway from the Mayflower! It’s a real treat, always fresh and delicious food and the biggest credit is to Nancy, she literally works non-stop but remembers everything about you! She even remembers that my favourite dish is prawn toast even though she probably has hundreds customers every day! ❤️ Nancy can you please consider opening a restaurant in Wales too? Saves us driving to the Wirral 🙂

Excellent fresh and tasty food!

Love the choice of food! We’ve been coming here for years and have always had amazing meals. And, absolutely love Nancy!💕

Very good Chinese takeaway! Always good service and lovely meals. Service is quick and also if you place order over phone - not too long to wait to pick it up yourself.

So good! It was my first time trying tonight, but won’t be my last. The food is so fresh and flavorful, and the customer service was the best. I ordered the chicken chow mein and the “triple crown” with egg fried rice. The chicken chow mein is rich and lovely, but still very light. Perfect egg fried rice, and the “triple crown” was such a welcome surprise. Definitely ginger-forward, and a beautiful blend of beef, duck, shrimp, veggies, pineapple, and more. Can’t wait to come back! Thanks for making me feel so welcome!!

It’s Nancy she knows. THE best Chinese this side of the Milky Way. I’ve had the chicken fried rice, salt and pepper chicken and the crispy beef. All lovely!

A recent find for us - a pity we didn’t find it before now. Lovely food and service. Good prices. Kung Po special wasn’t on the menu but they made one for me anyway. My new Chinese take-away go to. Highly recommended.

Never disappointed, always coked quickly and bags of flavour, long may it continue.

Fantastic food!! And great service!!

Couldn't believe how good the meal was at the price. First class.

Great food and polite service. Large selection of meals.

This was the most disappointing Chinese we have ever had. We ordered special fried rice that was cold sticky and boiled not fried. The spare ribs we ordered were cold and we ordered meat spring rolls but were given veg spring rolls. Also the customer service was appalling and we will not be going back again. Much prefer Full house on balls road but it is shut on a monday sadly.

The Mayflower is a lovely takeaway I call in on my way back from Anglesey on a Sunday evening even though I live in Liverpool because it's clean the staff or friendly nice food this my opinion

Not much to say about the atmosphere in the shop. Its simply a takeaway but it's a great one at that. Always great quality and tasty food. Shame there's no delivery from the mayflower as it had a great reputation.

Really good food we travel from Neston to enjoy the good from this takeaway

Fast service great choice Friendly staff and tasty food recommendation by a local and true to their word. Really enjoyed chicken chow main

Best chinese takeaway. Food is amazing, good choice and prices, lovely staff, great service.

Best Chinese I have ever had, lovely staff. Food nice and hot Will order again

Been going here for many many years, highly recommended

Best Chinese on the Wirral. Nice flavours and not like the other local ones which all taste the same. We had salt and pepper chicken pieces, ginger and spring onion chicken, boiled rice and chips and curry sauce. All of which were gorgeous and the prices are reasonable. Portions are are a good size, we had enough for four plates of food.

We get food from here regularly and enjoy it very much. Freshly cooked, tasty and fairly priced. Service is always quick and friendly. Very good local takeaway.

Top Bombing. On entering I noticed how clean it was (good sign) staff were helpful and friendly. Most importantly the food was lovely. Highly recommended.👍😉

Not the best I was ill all next day 😪

Lovely place highly recomended 🤎🤎🤎

Crispy 🦆 & many other Chinese favourites to takeaway🥡🍱🍜...😋

Lovely special curry and boiled rice. Friendly staff. Definitely going back again.

Insane customer service, allow me to clarify my position. I went last night and was bollocked by Nancy for not previously requesting vinegar on mY chips. Okay, put that down to experience. Tonight I went full of hope,they reckon it's good here, remember, so I made my intention clear. Fried rice, because last night the brick of steamed rice was inedible, so I thought, okay, give it a second chance. The chips and curry were delîcious last night. I said that I wanted chips with a little soy and lots of vinegar, then the curry, and some fried rice with just a little soy sauce. It was such an effort with eye rolling nonsense that I said"forget it". I was then assailed bY a pair of classic entitled Oxton twirlers who ñeed a spell in the army.

Always have the four seasons and it never disappoints.

Delicious Chinese takeaway. I find some takeaways can be over greasy and can leave you feeling sluggish, however Mayflowers food is always very tasty and fresh. Sometimes very busy but worth the wait. Cash payments only. Good service.

Delicious and great value! The prawn crackers were so fresh they were still warm

Nancy is the perfect front of house host.

Nice people, good food, generally fantastic. Would recommend.

Singapore chow mein and Singapore fried rice very tasty, not greasy, smaller than average portions but not such a bad thing these days.

I have been going to this TA for many years. Absolutely astonished that they have hiked up their prices! Ok I get what we’ve all been going through, but an increase of a third and a poorer meal? I won’t be going back.

Always enjoyed the food for quite a few years.

I'd go out on a limb and say the best chippy in Wirral, certainly in Birkenhead. Friday is always packed but the food is absolutely delicious. Be prepared to carry the right cash for your order though.

Love this takeaway really lovely food great choice

The best Chinese on the Wirral. Great customer service and the food is incredible. I'd recommend to anyone. They offer lots of vegetarian options too

Superb food, excellent service, great value for money, very friendly staff

Really good food, lovely service.

Excellent service...always lovely food..can't fault this takeway

Really tasty Chinese takeaway with a lovely lady who takes your orders. The food is fresh and you get great portion sizes at a excellent price. Would highly recommend in fact I'm going again tonight, can't wait 👍🏽

The food was hot and surprisingly really nice. Portions are massive and food is cheap for what you get. I recommend getting a duck dish.

We’ve been visiting Mayflower since we moved to Oxton, it’s truly the best food we’ve ever tried. After the long working day it’s a real treat. I must admit that even my fussy toddler loves their prawn crackers. It’s always perfect, literally always! Nancy is lovely, hardworking and very polite as well as the chefs, prices are reasonable and portions are big. So we’re well happy with that! Thank you Mayflower for being such a great takeaway and looking after your customers! Eva, David and baby Connor :)

We've been getting takeaways from here for years and years and it never fails to impress. Always excellent, fast service too For me, this place is the yard-stick all takeaways have to meet... Few do takeaway food as well as the Mayflower in Oxton.

Yummy curry n chips with Jay Layton 😍😎🤩

Great staff and great vegetarian options

Brilliant food, great service, best chip shop in wirral!

Best Chinese ever!! Food is so tasty and always hot. Chips are perfect. Barbecue spare ribs are delicious.

Best chines takeaway food.... tastes restaurant quality... attention to detail... very high standards

I always come here great service best food around

Best Chinese on the Wirral....Fact. It’s hard to find one on the Wirral. Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed.

THE BEST Chinese on the Wirral hands down Can not recommend it enough, great service, amazing food. See you again! For anyone who says it’s closing, it’s not! The owners went to China to visit family. Back open and better than ever

My family has been getting takeout from the Mayflower for many years and they never fail to provide excellent food in a prompt fashion. By far our most trusted take out and a favourite for all ages

Fabulous food as always. Fantastic service

Ordered a chicken omelette and chips and I must say it's as tasty as ever. Big portions and chips cooked to perfection.

Have been using this takeaway for over ten years never had a bad meal staff Nancy always friendly cheerful highly recommended

Love this Chinese! Always friendly service!

Been coming here for years now - Consistently good food, friendly staff and quality service. Would highly recommend!

Not very impressed. Our usual reliable takeaway was shut so tried here. Fish was awful, most of the batter was full of air as the fish portions were small and broken into pieces and the batter was hard and dry. Fried rice was tasteless and dry. Chips were very good however, not greasy. Won’t visit again.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic food

The best Chinese restaurant I've been to

Been here a few times food is ok , but not that great , could have been a little warmer, chips were not great , they were a little soft, possibly warmed up, i won t rush back

Went here for the first time tonight after reading all the good reviews. Happy I did the food was delicious

Fantastic quality food at great prices, I highly recommend and was very pleasantly surprised. Possibly one of the best Chinese take aways I have experienced with friendly staff.

Best Chinese takeaway in the country! Salt and pepper chicken pieces are too good to share and the bbq sauce is delicious. Good size portions and food is always ready quickly. The Mayflower is forever busy - always a good sign! The hot and sour soup could be better and I agree with other reviewers that the chips are oven style... but I’m just sure never to order these items... a small sacrifice as every other dish is delicious!

Amazing food and always amazing, never had an issue here, staff friendly only down side is I wish they had a card machine especially when the local cash point is broken

Quite simply the best Chinese takeaway I have ever experienced. The banquets are in a class of their own!

Best chippy about, drive 20 mins on the motorway for the salt and pepper wings, don't know if that explains how boss it is or how fat I am

We picked up dinner yesterday from the Mayflower. Called our order in, she said it would be ready in 10 min. (our walk time over there). It was waiting when we got there. Good size portions (way more than we got in Chinatown in L'pool) for less money. (We had leftovers for today.) We paid 11 pounds for 2 dishes. Generally the food was tasty. I had the special chow mein with crispy noodles and various types of meat & veg. My husband had the beef with chili and garlic. The only complaint I have is that the pork and one other meat in my dish were cooked earlier and tossed in and reheated. Reheated meat has a very distinctive flavour which I don't care for. I'll choose something next time that won't have that problem, because we certainly will go back. 'Mrs. Mayflower' was very nice and friendly too. Cantonese and Peking dishes - good variety (some English dishes as well)

Not much you can say about it, food is your usual Chinese/Chippy food, prices are reasonable. In a great spot by all of the bars in the middle of Oxton Village.

Food is nice and tasty. A pet hate of mine is coming out of a place smelling of that environment and this is such a place.

Awful quality Chinese food, cheap ingredients used and everything is pre packed. Don't waste your money.

Best Chinese Takeaway in Wirral but its collection only & don't deliver

Always good quality food with pleasant staff.

If it's not Nancy on the desk be prepared to be spoken to in ropey way! In all honesty it trades on it's reputation and the fact that most Chineses taste the same. Better than Oceans up the road (avoid - rank) but new Bamboo lounge on Wellington Road beats it hands down.

Fuimos tarde en la porción de patatas fritas, pide lo que quería grandes o pequeñas, nos fuimos para grandes.Nos encontramos en Casa y patatas fritas tipo horno tesco relación que había sido recalentados, sabía horrible y una pequeña porción en comparación con otras tiendas chip local. Incluso el curry no pudieron ocultar el sabor. El curry no ser la mejor.Debería ser tarde o temprano de calidad conservado no todos los clientes son de la pub!He comido desde aquí antes de las comidas y han sido bien, pero definitivamente no volveremos.Muchas quejas sobre las fichas aquí. . . . Escuchar ellos. mientras todavía los clientes.

usually a reliable chinese takeaway. prices have gone up but thats now isn't it. i blame mrs may but they do consistently serve a good takeaway, been going for years

Whether it's fish n Chips or full on Chinese banquet food this is the best place to go. Everything on the menu is fab. Staff are speedy & efficient & always offer good service. Handy location if drinking in Oxton.

not very helpfull at all ,15 minutes wait for food to be cook that is acceptable . food was nice and hot .but what the ? no taste really bland never seen food this poor sweet and sour was so bitter it was like chewing a lemon hot and sour soup weak bbeek and green pepper black bean sauce no taste beef tuff and stringy chip like card board worst food in this area upto now tried 3 others so far . oh and the rice over cooked and hard .my score out of10 1

i never complain because i dont want to but this is the worst customer service i got from ordering a takeaway. we live by heswall and went all the way to birkenhead to order takeaway here. my boyfriend was trying to order and he is from greece and not really familiar about chinese food so he ordered egg fried rice and wants prawns separate and the vile woman made a face like my boyfriend is stupid and said "what do you mean prawns separate its already in the fried rice" but that is why he is asking but she just continued making that face instead of explainig his options but we juat thanked her for being rude and just left
