Maypole farm in Bedford

Cakes are large, but the quality has dropped. Calvery is good, onion gravy, but they charge more for extra Yorkshire

Decent carvery. It's a busy place but never takes long to be eating. Good range on the carvery with a good dining menu too. The cakes are awesome, massive portions though!! Definitely recommend the Maypole

Excellent food, and friendly staff. We didn't have a booking, we went on the off chance, there wasn't any tables left, but we had a takeaway carvery. I would strongly recommend the Maypole, lovely food.

Chris and Joseph served us and it was evident that their customer service eas their main focus. Well done Mayoile staff and keep up the great work. Vincetestarossa

Great place for a carvery and the cakes are to die for

Amazing place, nice environment and atmosphere. Food is always great, this is my 4th visit and the food has not dissapointed. Kay served me this time and provided a great service. Will definitely be returning

Had a lovely meal in lovely surroundings in a great atmosphere. Will definitely be going again

Great place to eat. The carvery is great value, but even better during the week. Most of the food I've eaten there has been good and the drinks are good as well.

Really nice staff and clean but the cleaners for get windows seal Chris is such a lovely guy

Friendly, helpful staff and lovely food.

Had the tomato and pepper soup which was lovely. My only complaint is that the carvery meat is sliced so thinly you don't really get much and for the cost on a Sunday it isn't very good.

Absolutely amazing food and portion size was great aswell. Got seated and served before our table time! Friendly staff who were helpful with any queries! Love coming to the Maypole!

It was our first time at Maypole Farm. It was our son's birthday and he wanted to go somewhere we haven't been to before. The Maypole was recommended to us. We was very impressed. Very friendly welcome and service by Chris. Thank you Chris. The carvery was lovely. We will definitely be back.

Great meal at a great price, and Chris will make you smile 😜

Feeling like I needed a light meal this evening I chose the salad with carvery meat. The menu detailed what salad was included and I envisaged the leaves from a bag as we often see .. but I was really disappointed that the mass of mixed leaves included the core of one plant and the thick browning, thick bases of a number of leaves.. When the very polite waitress came to clear our plates, she asked if everything was okay; one clean plate and one with a pile of discarded chunky stalks, I told her I was disappointed and would she kindly pass the information on… Sadly she didn’t return with a response, but as we left, the Manager Chris was heading to the kitchen. My partner caught his attention and asked if he had heard of our disappointment… he hadn’t. We shared the details and went above and beyond by way of compensation.

Decent pub. Good atmosphere. Good carvery! However, the menu food is abysmal. Well the two courses me and my partner had were. Frozen muck! Greasy and malevolent.

Have been here before and the food was good but this time I chose a beanburger. I couldn't cut through the burger. It was rock hard. I had to break it open with force. The waiter exchanged my meal immediately, but I was informed that they are instructed to cook the burger that way?????? Shame, as my family go there often. The staff are friendly, but I can't get my head around their excuse for a rock hard burger.

Ordered 9:50. To be delivered 10:40. Actual time delivered 11:10. Most likely due to wanting me to have the left over scraps. Which indeed is what got delivered. Cold/stale everything.

Lovely food excellent service especially from Chris

Carvery was amazing, chicken combo platter was a little cover cooked and thus dry. Cakes are massive and amazing. The ice cream was also a big hit. Most of the staff were friendly but the manager was very disinterested when one of my kids tried to hand them lost property, luckily the owners were on the table next to the interaction and able to claim it. Would return however as everyone enjoyed their time

Chris excellent service went above and beyond made sure we had a pleasant experience you need a chris in all of your establishments! Top geezer!

After complaining previously regarding a rubbish breakfast, I was given a £50 voucher from Greene King for the poor service and breakfast I received was supposed to be getting a refund for the breakfast but that never happened..... Even after speaking with Heather in the pub and steve I think a manager or area manager. I decided to give it another go and get a carvery on a Saturday Afternoon, my partner and I were both disappointed with the quality of the food and how greasy and everything was cold... Just glad I didn't waste more off my own money and used the gift card, the place has gone downhill and I will tell everyone not to waste their money try Toby carvery instead.....

Brilliant and friendly staff top marks

Staff very helpful when I take a group of over 30

Awesome service from the team, super friendly and polite and very professional! Lovely atmosphere, cozy and warm while being spacious, and the food was fab! X

Very good, staff very friendly, food was great, carvery plenty overall very good experience. Chris was awesome, made sure our time was comfortable and supplied the drinks at a good pace, definitely didn't go thirsty

Why was the salad and coleslaw put in with the hot food. Need to be put in a separate container within box.

Portion size was shocking paid for 3 meats was bearly 2 , food 30mins late and cold. Would not recommend getting a delivery off just eat. Shocking

pig's in blankets were 2 sausages with no bacon. the meat was 2tiny slithers even though I paid for two meats. worst cavalry I have ever had

Great food, service, staff polite great atmosphere.

Good food and service Kay ( staff) was a lovely polite person who looked after us

the roast was very nice apart from they forgot my Yorkshire pudding

Had small carvery on a weekday. Good value & very enjoyable. One of the party used an accessible toilet which was conveniently located & easy to use.

Very good value , the beef on the carvery was so tender brilliant

Helpful friendly staff, good food at a reasonable price. Free onsite parking. The pub was busy but the carvery was excellent and puts to shame the larger "home of the roast" chain.

I'm coming here again. Had the carvery and the food was hot and very tasty. Loved the super sized drinks. Service very quick too. My new go-to place for meetings

The carvery was amazing best carvery I have ever had . Chloe the waitress was amazing and polite . From arriving to leaving the service was 100%.

Chris the chef absolutely brilliant I asked him a few questions was polite and answered even though it was very busy our server Ellie-Mae was a delight from start to finish nothing was too much trouble, it was very busy but Ellie made sure our visit was memorable and kept our youngest smiling 😃 couldn't ask for anymore more we had 3x carvery and a steak couldn't moan about anything great experience can't wait to go again

Staff very pleasant, not pushy and chole was very helpful Best carvery that I have evey had and I've a lot in my time, and the deserts are to die for Thankyou.

Enjoyable carvery, nice welcome and well served by Kyle. Only downside was screaming kids running around

Host was very welcoming, greeted upon arrival. Drink and food ordered through the app and arrived in a timely manner. Food was good quality and reasonable priced. Host checked we were having a good dinning experience.

Food has improved here in the last year I stopped going for awhile due to the food not being that great But I've visited several times in the last year and always enjoyed the food Like that my grandson can be entertained in the play area ( grt idea with the soft blocks as it's ideal for all ages ) he loves the horse Staff have always been very friendly and helpful

Good service.. great play area for kids..

Chris was engaging from the moment we arrived. It was no problem asking to being out a cake for my sisters birthday. We ordered drinks through the app which arrived after only a few minutes. We ordered the main course through the app again, which arrived in a timely manner. The quality of food was very good, clean plates all round. We will happily return on a future date and can recommend to all.

Great value for money, a large carvery is massive! A good range of veg, the carvery meat isn't dry, only had starters from the main menu were also decent. The staff were friendly and helpful. Place clean and tidy even though always busy. Would recommend this place over the brewers fayre across the carpark, maypole is 150 meters walk from the premier inn.

Nice big carvery! Not enough places do these midweek! Will definitely be added to my rotation of eating out more often. Staff were very friendly too

First time visiting and we will definitely be back. Staff were really friendly and helpful, Maxine was great. Lovely carvery 😊

Lovely visit today , last time was about 5yrs ago ? Lovely food and extremely pleasant staff .. 3 adults , 3 different meals all arrived at same time nice and hot, service was 100 % , can recommend only on my personal experience today ...

Lovely carvery. Tender meat, fresh veg and piping hot.

Staff were all friendly, drinks were served swiftly at the bar, food arrived hot and together. Food well presented and tasted great

Great atmosphere Chris behind the bar was very helpful and and a top bloke

Chris, who served me was absolutely wonderful and the food was great. I will come back again most definitely.

Really impressed with the service and quality of the food. We had a lovely time. Kid’s menu and dairy free options were awesome. Steve (assistant manager) was cheery and made us feel really welcome

Great food, excellent polite service

Had a mixed grill with my son, and my partner had the carvery. Can't complain about the food it was great. Only let down for me was when I was served my food the staff member asked if I wasted any sauce which I ordered mustard and horseradish, however they didn't arrive so hence why I scored slightly lower for the service. But food was so good I didn't let it spoil my meal.

Food was OK, but we've had better from here. Puddings were nice.

Me and My family went thier for breakfast. The staff were very rude and the food was cold and the scrambled eggs tasted lumpy for some reason. The kids buffet plates were tiny. I would not recommend this restaurant for breakfast or lunch or dinner. There were rude and unkind waiters.

Great food, especially the cake selection. Fast service and fair price. Will return.

Great family lunch, Chris and the team were friendly and helpful. Food was great value, lots of choice, fresh and tasty.

Excellent service from the staff and Chris

It was a quiet morning but nice for a quick stop.

Great selection of food and drinks. Kids loved the small play area. The carvery was very nice! Let down was the sticky toffee pudding. It was very dry and barely had any toffee sauce!

Thank you to Chris and his team for making a birthday celebration meal so special. Special thanks to Lewis for all his patience and time serving us all aswell as Chris too. Great food and a lovely meal enjoyed by all. Regularly visit this restaurant and great atmosphere and Friendly,helpful staff. Thank you for making a birthday meal memorable.

Assistant manager Chris was amazing 👏

Surprise Birthday Bash....Great night, great food, even better price...(wifey paid) Chris, Skye Steve plus all the rest were extremely helpful to make my Surprise 70th birthday specialised specially special 😀 😉 😊 😄

A big thank you to Chris and team at the Maypole for an enjoyable meal. Special thanks goes to Paris our waitress for going the extra mile when drinks were spilled 😁, her attention to detail and customer relations skills are up there with the best. We all look forward to returning even though we don't live in the area. 👍

Popped in after shopping and had a great carvery.

Nice food, service was good. No issues with visit. Some food could be fresher but still nice. Served by Chris.

Amazing food and great customer service and assistant manager Chris amazing god bless

Fantastic choice in carvery, food was hot, waiting staff were attentive and restaurant was clean. Extra shout out to Joseph the chef who was fabulous

It was a strange time - late lunch. Nothing seemed very fresh or hot.

Went for breakfast. All the breakfast was cold when I had made the waitress aware she was rude and unprofessional. Pulling out the Thermometer to check the tempture. Which then she did under the heat lamp.. showing that the food was showing up at 66° but was really Abrupt saying see it's hot. The food was freezing cold by the time we got to them table.. bare in mind we where there half and hour after it opened.. bacon and sausages where barely cooked looked like they were cooked in a microwave. Will be taking this up with higher up as this waitress shouldn't be in this job role at all.

We took my 93 year old father for a meal. I had the beef and ale pie. The pastry was really thick and doughy. The carrots were over boiled, so they were really soggy.

Couldn’t really fault this place, a lovely atmosphere, great food and very clean. Maybe a little short on staff, especially at clearing the tables. Overall… a lovely experience.

Came here for a carvery. Food was good and the staff, especially Chris, were all really friendly.

Been here a couple of times now on way between Bedford and MK. A great find. Excellent food, great value for money and super quick service. Chris the Manager was also very friendly and helpful, along with his team. We’ll be back again ! Thanks guys.

Server is Chris really friendly

Poor service and awful breakfast. Won't visit again.

Everything about our visit was spot-on. Holly on the Order Point gave an excellent "crucial first impression" with her pleasantness and efficiency. Chris was the perfect example of an active hands-on Manager, working hard on the floor whilst finding time to liaise with customers. Starters and mains were of high quality and big portions - doggy-boxes were required and no room for afters! Overall, fantastic value for money. Just how a pub/restaurant should be - ample parking, spotlessly clean, and totally customer-friendly atmosphere. We would not hesitate to recommend that you visit.

Lovely food friendly staff highly recommend

Called in for breakfast around 10 today ,chose buffet style ,had sausage, tomato, mushrooms ,scramble egg hash brown, toast, yummy I thought ,what a mistake sat down to eat ,it was not hot!!! Which one would expect ,I went to the staff member on duty ,she did offer to change and microwave 🤔 When it came back she said it she had tested the heat ,"it was only mushroom " The 2nd lot was sòo hot ,and soggy ,scramble eggs ,sausage hard ,actually inedible in my opinion. Hence low score So maybe an idea for staff actually check heat of food now and again.

Great for a casual meal out. A good selection of vegetables. Meat and little sparse but adequate. Very tasty.

First visit and will definitely be back. Friendly service, excellent carvery and lots of extras like a children’s activity area and the best pudding options I’ve seen outside of specialist dessert places.

The food here is lovely and so is the service. BUT I really wish they would spend a few hours improving the 'play area'. The toys are broken, some dangerous and it's is often dirty. It really wouldn't take much to make that area a nice environment for little visitors and would make it an all round good experience as the food etc really is great value for money. We will keep returning and hoping they improve it one day!!

went sat evening with family for a carvery ,very disappointed in the portion size of meats given ,staff member said we have been told by management to serve smaller cuts of meat we will never go there again, ..went tobys bedford amazing portions of meats 🍖 definitely go to tobys again

Great service from a lovely polite young lady called Sofia. Here temperment and attitude was excellent. Keep doing what you do young lady. great asset to the company.Be proud of you customer service.

Heather was so good listening to my request for piached eggs not too runny and they were perfect.

Great service very polite staff

Heather sorted us right out. Top girl

Great experience at Maypole Farm. Carvery was delicious. We were served by Chris who was delightful, very polite and welcoming, would 10/10 recommend

Had been nervous about our first visit here given number of poor reviews. However, allowing fir what it was - a carvery with a play area- we were very pleased. Our group (4adukts & 2 under 5s) had a lively carvery lunch. Plenty of good food, with very pleasant and efficient staff. Will be back

Great meal with the family and the carvery chef was amazing and sorted us out and his service was excellent. Looking forward to coming again as always.

Skye = ⭐️ & Steve = 🤌 - Top service/ great hospitality & thank you for the tequila

Had a lovely meal to celebrate my son's birthday. We were looked after by Chris who was very kind and made my son feel very relaxed, who has Autism and can feel very anxious. Food was lovely and we all left full.

Servers were absolutely fantastic and very polite, food was very nice and this was our first time coming here on a whim and we will be back.

Arrived at the Maypole at 6.15pm on a Sunday with no reservation, Heather was wonderful providing us with a table within 5 minutes. A slight queue to order at the bar, but it was very busy, (we have now downloaded their app!) but the food arrived very quickly & was lovely. Highly recommended. Thank you Heather for your help 😀

They can keep the food more fresher

Heather is absolutely incredible when we came and visited with our class of learners with disabilities. She is so accommodating and patient and it was the perfect setting for our end of year treat. Thank you Heather!

I ate lunch here with my toddler and my Mum on Tuesday of this week. We arrived around 11.40am, the venue was extremely quiet. We ordered shortly before midday and the food arrived within around 20 minutes or so. My toddler thoroughly enjoyed the indoor play area, specifically the soft play. Only downside I would say is that some of the items in the play area needed a good clean - for example the baby walker and the children’s chairs were filthy. It was a lovely surprise to see soft play in there though - that was the highlight of her day! We were served by Heather who was great, very friendly and went out of her way to ensure my toddler had a small spoon and fork. We purchased some cake to takeaway before we left from the cake counter, portions sizes were huge, each piece we bought was £6. Personally for me I’d be happy with a piece of cake half the size for half the cost, only because I didn’t get through all of what I had! That doesn’t take away from how yummy the cake was - I’d recommend the toffee fudge cake! Restaurant got quite busy by the time we left - probably around 1pm. All in all, a great experience - Heather is an asset to your team.

Great place for food and drink Great service food hot and well layed out
