Maypole Farm in Bedford

We are regulars to maypole for breakfast and carvery, Heather always deals with our requirements and has gone out of her way to sort our boxing day booking out, when others were not interested. She is always approachable and will always resolve any issues. She is our 1st port of call.

Popped in to collect food Greeted by a clean pub and a very friendly Daniel at the carvery. What a lovely bloke! Great food selection, it smelt amazing looking forward to eating it at home (on this occasion!)

The staff member kay was very professional and helpful with all ur needs. Very friendly a d the meal was amazing. Restaurant was clean and tidy

Staff member kay was very helpfull. Very friendly service and happy with our meal and drinks the restaurant was clean and tidy. Happy atmosphere

We’ve visited this venue on many occasions over the years and in the early days it’s was generally consistently good across the board then it seemed to loose its way which was disappointing to see . Our visit today was an experience we will hopefully have more of on future visits . We treated 2 of our grandchildren and their mum to a carvery but unfortunately we hadn’t booked and it looked like we had to look elsewhere . This is where the first pleasant surprise came in , Heather who was front of house was very insistent that we wait while she had a look and came back , she’d found us a table on the proviso we were not there more than 2 hours , we accepted this . Once seated we were served very promptly , again there recent times when all that happened was the queue getting longer George your eyes and hardly any staff serving . After placing our order we queued for our meals and while the gammon and Turkey were moist and decent portion wise , the beef was like the proverbial old leather which the 2 children in particular were not happy with . My wife and brought this to the intention of another member of staff who was passing our table , she apologised and said she would most certainly let the chef know and went off . She came back a few moments later and again apologised for the sub standard beef and offered the children free desserts which immediately put a smile on their faces and they most certainly enjoyed them . We were a bit worried as time was getting on and as Heather who had graciously allowed us the table passed by I told her we wouldn’t be long . She responded with a very reassuringly “ Don’t worry you’ve got enough time “ ! Once again our thanks to Heather front of house and the young lady who ( sorry didn’t get her name ) for putting a rather big smile on our grandchildren’s faces with the unexpected desserts.

Overall really nice. Beef on carvery was extremely chewy however the staff were happy to swap the meat for us and offered free desserts. Staff members in particular to thank where Aaliyah and Sam - both gave fantastic customer service.

Had a great saturday meal at maypole farm. Was served by a young lady called Holly was very welcoming and polite . Will be returning :)

Lunctime visit with family. Great value food and friendly and helpful service from Aimee our waitress today.

Dinner was great 👍 And the homemade deserts made by leah. Were amazing and very tasty. Well done very yummy 😋

Lovely lunch with good quality food, reasonable prices, relaxed atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff. Many thanks.

My son lunch he had chicken and chips there wasn't much on his plate. I had steak & ale pie with mash and vegetables. The mash tasted like potato taken out of a few jacket potatoes I just couldn't eat the mash it tasted disgusting

Atmosphere was good, staff quite friendly and helpful, the food was ok, the service was great, only the loo that was unfriedly

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, food was good but the loo.was not taken good care of. Prices quite friendly too and variety food choices

Fantastic breakfast good quality, plentiful and well cooked for the money, made by chef Sally. Service was provided by Heather which was excellent and friendly. We all agreed we'd be back again.

Very good food. Came out very quickly and amazing service from Maxine who was polite and welcoming.

We have to mention Maxine who always looks after us so well. She is friendly and professional, always checks that the food is good for us, and is always smiling- no matter how busy. Sunday buffet is always tasty with the vegetables hot and well...

I visited Maypole Farm for breakfast this morning and was very pleased with the food, perfectly cooked by chef Ryan. My thanks to all the staff.

I have been to this restaurant a few times either for food or sometimes just a drink, at times it can get very busy one thing I noticed how hard the staff work someone I have noticed before is a guy called Ryan he seems...

A big thank you to Ryan for his excellent service today. Fast and efficient and very helpful. Welcomed us to our table and recommended the all day breakfast which was well cooked and good vaue.

had a great time staff were great especially ryan who was friendly and helpful and a good laugh.....

Ryan did an amazing job, we totally enjoyed our lunch and the service, would recommend others coming and enjoying.

Excellent breakfast buffet today. Fresh and hot. No wait to order. Good coffee today too. Always reliable when Heather takes charge.

Great atmosphere, quick business lunch and most importantly the food was excellent. Really enjoyed our brief lunch this afternoon

Lovely helpful staff, especially when I made an error when ordering on their app (totally my fault) helped me sort a refund and get the correct order.

I come here often, food and service always good. Carvery has a great selection of meats and vegetables. Today I was served by a friendly team with a great chef (Ali) serving the carvery.

We arrived unbooked, and were seated promptly. We decided on the Sunday roast. Connor was very friendly while carving the selected joint. All in all a very enjoyable experience and so relaxing.

Hot food, good service, especially by Chris, when advising on desert. Carvery was plentiful. Some thing for everyone.

Connor was amazing, did the takeaway too good to go bag, he helped me decide what to get, really friendly, wasn’t shy with the portion either, look forward to seeing him again

Kerry is a great waitress friendly and smiley makes you feel welcome. Great atmosphere in here. Food is excellent.

The Carvery was lovely and the Pigs and Blankets were not overcooked. The lad on the carvery deck was really polite and friendly.

We had good food and drinks.Service was quick and efficient.Friendly staff and good atmosphere. We definitely enjoyed ,we recommend and we’ll be back again.

I gave it 5 stars purely for the service but not the actual food because it wasn't cooked properly and was cold. Sam sorted it all out. He is a real credit to the Maypole He chatted with us to make sure everything was sorted...

Carvery very nice but slightly overdone and not hot enough. The cutlery on the table was dirty, that definitely needs to improve! Employee Kay gave very good customer service and so did Paul who gave us a little (actually) big treat to take home as...

I have used Maypole Inn on many occasions and they have never let me down, excellent food, 1st rate staff, this last time I went with friends for my birthday celebration, a gentleman called Chris was absolutely brilliant he looked after us, and made the...

Ordered using app, 10 minutes later still no drinks have to go to bar to get them, it was quiet so no reason why didn’t get drink brought to my table. Food was ok! Cakes ! Well !!! You really do disappoint don’t you Maypole...

My first experience was not a good one and I was gutted that a friend popped up and stayed close by and decided we should all meet there so couldn't get out of it. I have to say Emma the lady behind the bar really...

The staff here really make it feel like being at home. Kay was so helpful, ensuring we had every thing we needed. The food is always delicious, and today was no exception. No desserts this visit but they looked immense

Another excellent Carvery with good service. The lovely Kay was working there again today with her usual smile and welcome.

Had a good lunch served by our favourite KAY.always helpful with my elderly mother. Any problems sorted straight away We have had some very nice meals here.

The Maypole is always my go to place whether it is for a roast, a snack or just somewhere to sit and read and have a coffee in the morning. The food is always fresh, the staff are friendly and welcoming even when it's super...

Wonderful meal, nice relaxing atmosphere great customer service, Was a very enjoyable experience, Would recommend it to anyone.

My wife and i went for a mid-week carvery roast. The meats were moist and tasty, the selection of veg and potatoes was plentiful. We had drinks with our meal ( standard sized ) all for £24 ! I've seen some comments about unenthusiastic staff,...

Jade looked after me… thankyou Jade, the peas were like bullets, but, never mind, the steak was decent and the ice cream was lovely.

Popped in with my 4 year old for an icecream as treat for doing well at school. Served by Aaliyah, who was very attentive to my son and poured a great beer (the beer was for me, not my son). As always very friendly staff,...

poor hygiene standards both front and back of house. kitchen could be observed very Clearly from table.. Carvery area..no attempt by staff member to wipe down or pick up dropped food during quiet time between customers..but did use the time to go back into kitchen....

Amazing food the carvery is exceptional the deserts are very well made and value for money. Definitely coming back for another visit soon.

Excellent carvery dinner for my first visit on Sunday. The place was packed and the staff obviously stressed and exhausted. But a special shoutout to Molly who went above and beyond to reprint my till receipt after my meal after I forgot to get it...

We came here for breakfast again after the positive experience we've had in the past, and main reason why we've come back time and again is because of the customer service. Today, although the breakfast food was sort of 'warm' as opposed to piping hot,...

Decided to try the Buffet Breakfast with a work Colleague and was very pleasantly surprised. Great choice which was regularly topped up, very reasonably priced and fantastic service. Shout out to Heather who kept everything flowing and was totally on the ball.

Lovely. Food was lovely and staff very friendly. Aaliyah was very sweet and professional. Chris was professional and polite.

Aaliyah is a great waitress, helpfull, friendly and attentive. Food was good Will be coming again. Thanks

This place is amazing for breakfast with the cost of £6.99 and there’s an indoor play area for under 5s at one section so it’s used by a lot of mums for a meet and eat. Midweek carvery is excellent value and I prefer eating...

as i walked in today a member of management a lovely bubbly person named charlie made me so welcome

Have just returned from lunch at The Maypole Farm (12.09.23) and the staff could not have been friendlier. Especially Kay, Aaliyah and the young woman behind the bar between 12pm and 1.45pm (I'm sorry, I didn't get your name.) The food was inexpensive and tasty...

Great breakfast again. Wonderful service as always. Very friendly and professional. Big shout out to Kay. I do like a friendly, happy face.

Went here today for lunch. Our lunch came and I wasn’t happy with my fish but all i said to the waiter Ryan was I wasn’t happy (there was barely any fish just batter) and he picked it back up and asked me if i...

It took 25 mins for garlic bread and soup starter and it wasnt busy. When it came they were both awful. The bread was not toasted and looked like a sponge your clean the bath with. The tomato and pepper soup of the day was...

Nice place to go and reasonable prices. Staff lovely. Enjoyed a carvery. Kay is a lovely member of staff.

Lovely Carvery at Maypole Farm Restaurant. We always enjoyed our lunch her. Carvery was tender.. Tom one of the Chef's he was friendly polite.. All the staff were helpful.. We will come again. Thursday 07.09.23.

I expected in an English pub to get some real ale. All 4 taps were empty and next delivery from green king would be 6 days away so no choice unless you want pasteurised gas which says it's draught lager. Next whe it came to...

Went to the maypole for the first time on Tuesday 5th sep the food was lovely very good prices as well. The staff were so friendly one member of staff went the extra mile her name is key she was just great hope to see...

Thank you so much my breakfast was really good taste amazing thank you for that lovely lady charly for my coke thank you from lilly-jo xx

Very nice place. Down side long queue at bar, but molly was doing a terrific job she really was trying to keep on top of things 👏

We have been going to maypole farm for many years and have had some wonderful food and gres5 memories in there. It has slowly but surely gone downhill in the last couple of years , with tonight being the cherry on top of the cake...

The food was really good Nice and hot and well cooked.. The beef was so tender and I loads up on veg which was awesome.. Washed down with a nice pint of ipa perfectly poured.. Great end to the day and holidays

1st time at Maypole Inn Kempston. Really enjoyed it there with my family. Looked after by all the staff Really nice and friendly. Especially Danielle who was really attentive and nothing was to much trouble. Thank you Danielle. 👏👏👏. Mick. And Family.

Popped in for lunch with my two sisters, one is in a wheelchair, but although we hadn’t booked and they were very busy, we were nicely greeted and given a suitable table. Maddie was very helpful, friendly, professional and went above and beyond to be...

From the moment we arrived I knew this wasn’t going to go well. We waited for 10 minutes by the entrance before anyone came over to greet us. I say greet us, what actually happened is they just said “have you booked”. When we confirmed...

We hadn’t booked but we’re found a table straight away. It is so easy to book food and drinks at the table on the Greene King app. A definite plus point that came out of the Covid pandemic.

Good foods and service especially Jade, good customer service. Fantastic plsce and location. Will comeback again. Also its local to us.

Lovely food, great prices, only issues is low staff but can’t blame them it’s tough to hire! Jade was lovely and so was Ali, thanks for making dads birthday meal special x

Went here for a carvery. The food was excellent and the place was good. There is a good atmosphere here. Much better than the one we walked out of in Oldbrook. That place was spit and sawdust and the bar tender had a poor attitude....

So dog friendly but only outside by the car park, weather dependent and among the smokers. Also a poor range of beers and the answer to “have you any craft/real ales?” Was to read the tabs 😳 I think they are lucky to get 2...

Went to Maypole tonight for dinner, with family....could not thank Kay our server enough, she went above and beyond for all our needs. Was a special evening for us, and she accommodated our every need, was so kind, friendly and helpful. Such a lovely evening...

Excellent food and great service. The restaurant is clean and very well run. The staff are attentive and helpful. The food represents excellent value for money. Without a doubt, one of the best carveries I have visited.

Always delicious food and great service! This is our go to place for a meal out, never had any issues

For the money, you just can't really fault this restaurant. Having dined at a sister branch in Leicester, I would always recommend the carvery bap - mega value for money! Service was pleasant enough. It's not à la carte, but it is what it says...

Wouldn't go there again as we ordered carvery and when we went up to get ours it was disappointing. The meat you needed a magnifying glass to find it, the cheese cauliflower was dry, the roast potatoes were hard as if overcooked so all in...

Very nice pub with good quality food and friendly service. Ample car parking and a lot of tables but not crowded at all.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Used the app to order lunch. It came very quickly and hit the spot. Not my first time here and always a good experience. Got to read a bit of my book whilst I waited and chilled out.

Maxine is absolutely delightful. She’s so helpful and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. We love her and look forward to seeing her. The food and service was great too.

The roast is great, self serve let’s you choose what you want on your plate, desserts are epic portion sizes and the staff are happy to give a takeaway box for any you can’t eat, very affordable especially with the difficult price of living at...

Had a lovely meal and was served by Ryan who is very efficient and really helpful so thankyou Ryan we will come again

Fantastic meal and service, thanks Ryan. Really great meal and service. Great price to, we will be most definitely back

Noticed our waiter Maxine was going above and beyond on a very busy summers evening definitely needs employee of the month thank you :)

Great food and staff. Definitely recommend. Thank you Keiran for your great service we will definitely be coming back again

Visited multiple times whilst staying at the premier Inn nearby. Excellent service and quality food. Today I was served by Kieran.

Danielle was our server for our evening family meal, 4 adults and 2 children under 5. We all had a wonderful carvery. The meat and vegetable choice was largely good but I think having brussel sprouts as the only green vegetable option was the only...

We visited last Sunday for the first time. We had our dog with us so we sat outside. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Chef Ali served our meat to us, he was very chatty and friendly :) The food was cooked to perfection!!...

Kay is so polite and kind and very bubbly and very helpful when we need something and the atmosphere of the staff especially Kay, came out for my birthday with my father and we both had the carvery and it was lovely, I would recommend...

We went for a carvery lunch and it was good value for money. Service was good and atmosphere was particularly great. Highly recommend

Kay’s service was brilliant She looked after us from the time we entered, helped us with our orders and checked to make sure we were ok

Great staff, lots to keep kids interested and give adults a break. Kay is always attentive and friendly

Great friendly service would recommend food is great. My family love coming here for dinner always fills them up.

Sadly the food wasn’t awful. Steak was meant to be medium but was like boot leather. Drink took 20 mins to get to the table after and arrived after food.

Came for lunch with a friend and was absolutely gorgeous. The carvery selection was amazing, 7 or 8 different veg. Ali was the chef on the carvery and was friendly and made sure everything was topped up. Well done to the whole team.

This was my first time at Maypole Farm and I wasn’t disappointed. I took my father who is wheelchair bound and we had the most friendly helpful staff who couldn’t do enough to help us. The food was good quality at an affordable price and...

We came in and we’re seated quickly and ordered on the app and had to wait 20 mins for our drinks but it wasn’t busy and I had to ask staff for the drinks the food was good and then came to deserts they have...

After a disappointing visit to Toby Carvery we decided (contractors) to meet here for our breakfast. Can't fault. Cooked to perfection, cracking service too. I really like how management /team leader interacts with customers. Glad this place exists. I had a cake last week. It...

Not sure what’s happened here, always visit for a Sunday lunch however this time it’s wasn’t up to par, carvery with hardly any meat, cut so thin he couldn’t even get a slice so it’s just odd tiny bits of meat! Roast potatoes very burnt!...
