The Mayflower in Wycombe

We hadn’t been to the Mayflower before, having driven past it on numerous occasions. I am so glad my wife and I called in on the spur of the moment a few weeks ago and have been back several times since. One of us has a range of food allergies, and it is sometimes problematic to choose food from a given menu. Not so for the Mayflower, who have a wonderful chef and staff prepared to change things to accommodate our unusual requests. The food tastes delicious, is freshly prepared in generous quantities and great value for money. This is a wonderful place to eat, and highly recommended.

Always a fantastic experience at the Mayflower. This time we sat down for a quiet Sunday meal with our young family. The roast dinners were OUTSTANDING. The chef really appears to put their heart and soul into the food, it’s delicious! The staff, although young, are enthusiastic, polite, friendly and seem to really enjoy working there. Toilets are clean and well stocked up with toilet roll and soap. Play area wasn’t tried as the weather was poor but the fact that it has one is always a win! We didn’t take our dog this time as wanted to sit on the more comfortable carpeted area but if you want to bring your pooch, they welcome you in the bar area! If you want to sit inside it’s always best to book (especially a dog friendly table!) as the place can sometimes be very busy.

Amazing pub, bar staff so helpful. Bar staff Lucy and Anisha sang to us for the majority of the evening, with such beautiful soulful songs.. If your looking for a good pub with great food and drinks, and a sing along this is the pub to go too.. Great job with the singing ladies

They do not answer their phone. How are customers supposed to book ?

Had the halloumi fries - they were amazing!

Another super supper! We love every meal here especially Sunday roast but lamb rump and dauphinois with veggies and my steak were equally perfect tonight - can’t fault the team front of house and kitchen … thank you all for a delightful dinner … you know we’re be back x

Had the Sunday roast with my Mum we both enjoyed it, everything cooked perfectly, staff were super friendly, decor and layout very nice, ample parking, lovely atmosphere

Another exceptional meal ,very tasty,staff very, very attentive and friendly, always a pleasure to eat and drink here .

Friendly staff and cosy atmosphere

Had mainly drinks recently... they refurbished the whole pub, and it is nice to have a chat there 😀

Food always excellent as is the service.

Fantastic spur of the moment stop whilst visiting a friend local to this pub. Our food was spectacular! Delicious! Perfect! We had camembert starter with sourdough warm roll rosemary and sea salted fries.. then chicken roulade with dauphinoise potatoes and long stem brocolli.. Amazing dishes..Full compliments to chef. The serving staff were all lovely girls... Well done The Mayflower will be vack soon.

Popular, often busy pub with dining areas, inside and out. Sometimes best to book to ensure table at requested time. Also has lawn seats/tables but close to often noisy speedy traffic. Areas for children and smokers. Young staff pleasant and efficient. Sunday roast for £16. Pleasant spot on edge of housing estate. Marred a bit sometimes by a few noisy shouty customers perched at the bar and shreiky children coming and going. But - probably one of the best pubs in the area..

Excellent food, always hot, varied menu well priced.

Delicious and plentiful Sunday roast..crunchy fresh veg and just about enough room for yummy dessert too. Really good value for money, friendly staff and nice decor.

An excellent place for food and drink. We always enjoy our meals here and can especially recommend the Sunday roasts. You do need to book, at least at the weekend as it gets very busy. The service is one of the best I’ve encountered with the staff being friendly and attentive.

Had to wait about 5 mins on arrival for our table. Atmosphere is quite pleasant, not a rowdy pub. Staff were friendly. Roast dinners took 35 mins to arrive, which is on the slow side considering it was 3pm (not busy period) and everything is already cooked. But we enjoyed it and would revisit.

Just had the fish sharing platter. Really good and the chilli prawns are to die for. Perfect lunch and great service and friendly staff.

First time visiting with the family. Loved the food and it was definitely value for money. Only “downside” was the service. However it was a Sunday so not surprised. The servers were lovely to the kids, would definitely go again

Great food The service was exceptional had a great meal with sister the team were attentive without any pressure The manager was very present and we all had a laugh A must visit for just a drink Coffee and cake Or even a meal Great atmosphere and great food and dtink

Amazing burgers! Big portion, value for money. If you like a messy burger this is the place. Fresh and hot when served.

This was the first time I had been inside this establishment for many years. The decor was clean and smart and had obviously been thought through. All our meals were tasty with good portion size. I felt the price was acceptable for the area. Service was friendly and reasonably quick. Would I return......yes!

This is our go to place for impromptu supper but most importantly Sunday roast - faultless from staff to food. Never had a bad meal at any time - thanks to Sam, his daughter & their lovely team

I went with my wife for the first time for dinner on Friday 15 March, and we thought it was one of the best pub meals we had ever had. I would recommend trying the food there.

Been here twice service and food is good. The better tables are in lounge area, second time we were seated in the games area which was near to the kitchen so quite noisy, but next time will book a different table.

Absolutely fantastic place love love loved the place staff was friendly, I'd give it 💯%

Very busy lunchtime so service a bit slow

We have recently moved to High Wycombe and we found this place. I had a Lovely meal this Saturday with my husband and a friend. First time at The Mayflower and we are definitely coming back.

Food was really good but the service needs improvement.

Excellent meal. Generous portions. Good service. Been twice. Will go back.

Nice enough looking place. Reasonable prices. 1 bar staff was a bit miserable.

Food was good. Had to send back my lunch as it was not what I ordered. Otherwise fine

Lovely staff, quick service, perfect quiet place to work from, food is great value!

We visited The Mayflower for our works Christmas lunch and the friendliness and welcoming staff along with excellent food and nice ambience was very nice. Generous portions freshly cooked turkey with all the trimmings, others enjoyed perfectly cooked salmon fillets on crushed new potatoes and fresh vegetables, again generous portions, very filling but there's always room to enjoy the excellent desserts!! good value and nice atmosphere. Will definitely re-visit with the family.

As with all the food I've tried here we had a superb sunday roast, could not fault it apart from the miniscule splash of gravy. Rebellion Roasted Nuts on draft for us proper beer lovers plus usually good friendly service make this a great local.

I've lived in High Wycombe a long time but I've never been to the Mayflower. Just wanted to say out meals were delicious and the service was excellent!

Great pub, good value good, good beers on tap! Well worth a stop

Large portions, good service and lovely pub. Highly recommended!

Having been before with all our family, I decided to spend lunch with 4 girlfriends. As we don't have large appetites, we ordered the children's roast beef, which was plenty. We had soft drinks, dessert & finished with coffee. 👍

Very long wait for food, starters were very good, but the time between starters and mains arriving was so long, we thought about paying up and leaving. It was supposed to be a treat for a friend who goes there frequently, and she knew what she was going to order without looking at the menu "It's superb." When the mains finally arrived, they were all but cold, poorly cooked and looked very unappetising. Our regular friend was hugely disappointed at what is usually her favourite choice, I had the same on her advice - also very poor. Our other friend had something different but said it was flavourless apart from the dressing which she described as sickly. None of us finished our meals, maybe it was an off day or a stand-in chef, but the service was painfully slow, yet new arrivals were being served their food long before ours arrived. Service was not top of their priorities, "We are understaffed at the moment." So understaffed that there was just one person working the bar whilst the other three stood around chatting on the customer side of the bar. First time there and probably the last, a shame as I was looking forward to it as we're my companions.

Had a lovely meal here, especially the Seafood Platter to share as a starter. OMG so good! Burgers were lovely as were the puddings. I'd go again.

Fantastic meal and great service. Called before we went to confirm dog friendly and book. Sat on high stools they were really comfortable. Will definitely return.

Really pleasant. So reasonably priced for such good quality food! Loved the fact there was an area for children to play too.

Beautiful meal the young girls that served us on both nights were excellent Unfortunately we don't live up there but will definitely be back when we return to High Wycombe Wish it was our local We were there on the 8th and 9th of August

Excellent Sunday lunch, although Yorkshire pudding was more than l could eat.

Our favourite local pub for food - selected by OH for his birthday treat - steak always cooked to perfection & summer special of sea food selection was delicious (even brought home the mackerel pate as too much to finish) Thanks to Sam & his lovely team for another good dinner.

Nice place to come for a drink and a spot of lunch. Friendly staff. Recommended

This is our regular pub and I went in there today with a friend and had 2 of your new Summer Sharers. The pulled pork nachos and the seafood platter. Omg they were both amazing. Will definitely be having those again.

Everything is good. Delicious food, friendly staff, great place. Definitely we'll come back here.

Having just left the Mayflower I can’t help but feel massively disappointed and extremely confused. Firstly I will state the food was very enjoyable and this review isn’t to detract from that. However what ensued around being able to eat our food was strange in the least. As a group consisting of 5 adults and 3 children, we initially set up in the garden as it was a pleasant evening and the children were playing. We ordered food, and in the wait that took place (a little longer than expected it not out of the ordinary) it began to rain. We tried to move inside before our food was ready and approached a member of staff stood in front of the dining area, which at best was a third full. We asked for a table of 5 please with 2 high chairs. They didn’t have any available. Not a problem we don’t mind pushing two tables together and we can make it work we suggested. As another group who had just come from inside literally did in front of us. We can’t do that we aren’t allowed to move the tables. To cut a long story short this exchange went back and forth and we were repeatedly told the tables car be moved. In the idle of attempting to resolve this the server walked off to the kitchen and returned saying your foods ready where will you be sitting. So despite three different people within our group attempting to resolve the problem of why we couldn’t sit inside, we ended up sitting outside with 3 children under an umbrella in the rain. Our server brings our food out in the middle of the downpour which naturally gets a wash in the rain on its way to us. Having previously asked to speak to a manager or such, and being told we couldn’t because there wasn’t anyone, a man who introduced himself to be the landlord then came out to us midway through our meals. He then set about telling us that we had it all wrong and that they were saying that we would loose two seats if we push the tables together, questioning our version of events and insinuating we were lying. Which considering we were sitting in the rain eating with our children and there was a bar area full of people who witnessed what had occurred and also couldn’t believe what was taking place, seems a little strange. After eventually hearing what we had to say, not once was an apology offered and the landlord walked off without saying anything further. Such a shame as even with being soggy the food was good and good portion sizes and until this happened we had been enjoying a lovely evening for an unplanned special occasion in what seemed like a nice place.

lovely place to eat, staff are really friendly and food was excellent.

Me and my brother and relations went to the Mayflower for a drink and for meal the food was excellent the service was fantastic and the atmosphere was good hope to go there again sometime but we live in East London Bow thanks very much👍

Food was a little bit disappointing. Overcooked and Mehh Server's were really good.

Good quality food, plenty of it on your plate, pleasant staff.

A very good traditional pub, with a couple of local beers on tap. Service is excellent. Food is traditional, and tasty. I'd love to visit in the winter as it has a really cosy atmosphere.

Always excellent food and service

Great food, location and lovely outside area.

Excellent food at this pub as always, we decided on burgers today. Would 100% recommend all of theirs, today was the halloumi, the mayflower and the black and blue. It is an extensive menu and most everything I have tried is very good, and shall definitely be returning. Two of us opted to go without the included fries and try the pizza loaded fries side instead, I would not recommend this as while okay did not warrant the price. The camembert however was thoroughly enjoyed as usual! Accessibility seems alright with it all being on one floor, however the front door lip is similar to a house door and the doorways themselves are narrow so I don't think they could accommodate a wheelchair although a pram does fit.

Mayflower double stacked burger was epic! Coupled up with pulled pork loaded fries, absolutely superb.

Very helpful and kind staff, lovely food, dog friendly and fast service

Early evening Sunday roast dinner with the family and it was delicious and plentiful. Will definitely visit again.

Enjoyed the fish and chips with my W.I friends.

Best roast in the village - plentiful roast beef and chicken, vegetables etc ordered extra cauliflower cheese and stuffing … all delicious 😋 Slight wait but worth it - glad we booked … Served by lovely team members 10 / 10 well done all - will be back for this!

Very friendly. Clean and contemporary decor. Food arrived quickly and was presented really well. My only complaint was that the roast beef (Sunday Roast Menu) was very tough and chewy which was a real shame.

Delicious food, super welcoming, comfy chairs to idle away the afternoon. Highly recommend!

Lovely food great pub, would recommend a visit

Absolute gem of a restaurant/,pub! Food is top tasty and affordable. Dining area is modern, relaxing yet still some how retains an older feel. Service is spot on!

Went for a meal here with my husband and son last Saturday. The food was beautiful there was nothing negative we could say. We all had different things and we were all very pleased. All the staff were really friendly and were always busy doing something not just standing around. Well done to you all definitely will be back soon x

Love the food here, decent prices and incredible portions. The burgers and loaded fries are a must 😋

Great traditional pub with fantastic food and service

First time in there for many years. Made to feel really welcome. Reports of food quality are very good. Would definitely recommend..

Another again very good lunch visit to The Mayflower. Food tasty and young staff very good. Us four pensioners give it 10 out of ten. Reasonable prices in the current rising inflation times. We will return and recommend. Noisy diner nearby swilled drinks and had shouted chats with chums and best moment came when he left.

Pre ordered the Sunday roast, opted for the lamb. My slices of lamb bit overdone for me but others on the table had some pinker lamb. Delicious gravy and stuffing.

Tried the mayflower yesterday after hearing glowing reports. But was disappointed. A very long wait for the food which turned up Luke warm. The side of cauliflower cheese was cold. Must admit the staff were very friendly but won’t be going back.

i good to begin with.Had Sunday roast lamb. Never seen a leg of lamb that I could carve in very thin strips 2 inches wide by 4 inches long with an inch of pure fat down the side Very tough could not cut it ,pulled a piece off but was to tough to chew and tasteless. Cabbage was raw may have been shown a saucepan of hot water for no more than a minute,it was cold. roast parsnip woody down middle could not eat Roast potato should be crisp on outside was soft and tasted awful did not taste anything like potato.1 piece of carrot that was cooked but all veg was cold. also said about the horrible potatoes and did not eat. I called waitress that took our order and told her the dinner was inedible and she apolagised and took it back to the kitchen. She returned and said the chef said it would be a few minutes but he/she would do more lamb. What were they going to do with it. I said I would rather have the chicken.When my dinner came back it was the same vegonthe plate and I know this because I could see the pepper I had put on it. The roast chicken was a piece of breast about 2 inches square and an inch thick with a wing bone stripped of meat sticking out. I would have expected a whole side of breast or sliced breast or a leg. Again everything was cold. I did not eat any of it as by now I am afraid of food poisoning as the dinner had been dished up for at least 15 minutes by now without being kept hot. The waitress said if we went there again we could ask for the veg to be cooked more.. When the waitress came to clear the table I would have expected her to ask if there was something wrong as I had not eaten any of my dinner.but she didn't say anything. another waitress came and asked if we would like a dessert menu and we said no just the bill.My daughter had been watching the staff all stood at the bar talking and looking over at us,so obviously talking about my complaint.We thought we would at least get a reduction on the bill but in fact they had charged for the roast lamb that was £2 more than the chicken. I would have thought having complained about the meal and then iwent back to the kitchen uneaten the manager or the chef would have come and spoken to us,but nothing. I don't know about the rest of their menu the place was busy but only 2 other people had the Sunday roast. I would not go back again as they were not interested enough in my dissatisfaction to even come and discuss it with.me. We went to a Pop-in restataunt nearby and had dessert and coffee but could still taste the horrible potato that we only ate a small piece of.

My trusted local when I'm not local, lovely food, gluten free options, plenty of menu choice (steak or pizza are our top choices).

We went here yesterday (31.10.22) for afternoon roast with 2 toddlers and a dog, although originally the booking was messed up and there was a slight inconvenience when we first turned up the staff did all they could do to rectify the issue and accommodate us. The food portions were so good, even the childrens portions were good. We took so much home. The food is delicious. But I wanted to leave a review because the staff were so friendly, always asking us if the food was okay or if we need anything. Especially the young girl who served us, she played with my little one whilst I was trying to sort out all our bags and deal with my other child. Things like that are so simple, yet really appreciated. Great food, great staff!

Went for a few drinks tonight and Alice the barmaid was very friendly and polite a credit to the team

Brilliant service and the landlord, was wonderfully attentive and even nipped our to buy an extra flavour of ice cream for our son. Thank you!

Friendly staff & excellent food, definitely going back.

Fantastic service and good food

great atmosphere great venue lovely food good beer it was a really enjoyable night out for not only myself but the whole of my Darts team

Pleasant place with good lunch and drinks. Popular and almost full when we visited on a Wednesday lunchtime. Good and efficient staff. Manageress Naomi was welcoming. We'll return and recommend. Congested car park due to street residents also using it. Hope it's not hit by looming national cost of living blitz.

We came across the mayflower when trying finding a house. We are from London. we stop off to have lunch wow the service was fantastic and the food was so delicious. My cousins loved it both over from Oz great friendly atmosphere I will be back thank you for great afternoon

Had a nice starter followed but amazing roast I had lamb leg wife had beef lots off veg and side off stuffing best off all the cheese sauce on cauliflower cheese 10 /10 the whole meal along with great service

Nice food and friendly staff!! Lovely garden.

Harmless, though uninspired, food for adults, the stuff they like for the little 'uns. Including a couple of beers for dad and granddad and some soft drinks for mum and two small children, a bill of £62 for 2 kids and 3 adults was decent value.

Couldn't switch the coffee machine on!

Lovely atmosphere and good food

a simple evening they forgot about my extra order for which I paid…👎🏻

1.5hr wait for food. Given the wrong menu which made the wait pointless. Real shame. We got to the mayflower to be told food would take approximately 1hr 20 mins due to a party being held. We decided to wait as my son was taking ne out for a birthday lunch. We had checked on your website and noted a vegan option? But  when we were given the menus there were only light bites. Fries, and sandwiches. We were not prepared to wait so long for those choices. F.

Went out for a Christmas meal at the Mayflower with a group of use . The food was amazing and the service was great , hats of to the chef and bar staff

Greatly improved over the last few years. Good menu reasonably priced and superbly served. Add to this great ale at a competitive price. Ideal for a night out with friends.

Quite expensive drinks but the food is really nice

Reasonably priced good quality food. Great service.

lots of character in this friendly pub

Great food great service and just round the corner, 76.00 for three of us including 2 rounds of drinks. Will go again.

Absolutely fantastic lunch. Delicious food and lovely service by Alice. Would recommend!

Lovely friendly atmosphere Alice our waitress delightful will come again food delicious 😋

Very good food at reasonable prices. Staff were excellent.
