Amazing old world pub with an unrivaled history. Good food and great ales. I have been twice now and both times the service and atmosphere were fantastic.

For £19 does a customer have a reasonable right to expect non-frozen chips on a fish and chips main course? I would hope so but this was not possible at The Mayflower. The fish (size of portion) also seemed somewhat small and at £6:50 for a pint of IPA with service on top it felt like a sting rather than a really enjoyable experience in a pub with a degree of character. Sorry to say l won’t be returning.

Proper old-school vibe here—everything creaky, wooden, and full of character. It’s not the cleanest place by my standards (hence the 4 stars), but honestly, that’s part of the charm. The food was good, with a few decent veggie options too. We liked it overall. Also good to know that the Mayflower pub is named after the ship that famously set sail for America in 1620, and apparently, the actual Mayflower is believed to have departed from right around here in Rotherhithe. The pub itself has roots going back to around 1550, which is kind of wild when you think about it. Definitely worth a visit if you’re into old-world charm and a slice of history with your pint.

Bit too much gravy? Never thought id say it but on the chicken roast it was swamped. Everything else was very good and traditional

Classic London pub! Plenty of history, atmosphere, and amazing views over the river. The service was friendly and attentive, and was really impressed with the menu as well. Such a good range. Highly recommend the seafood platter. Easy to get to from Canada Water or Rotherhithe stations

I keep coming back to this pub even though i don’t line near there any more. Perhaps that’s all there is to it! Inside feels ancient in the best way, outside gives you the best pub on the Thames experience.

The inside is very cool and the outdoor seating has some heat lamps which are a nice touch. I’d recommend trying the beef short rib and mashed sweet potatoes.

Der Pub liegt direkt an der Themse. Wir hatten einen Tisch zum Sunday Roast reserviert. Um garantiert einen Platz zu bekommen, ist das absolut empfehlenswert. Unser Tisch war im 1. Stock und der Platz bot einen schönen Ausblick durch das Fenster auf das Treiben auf der Themse. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Neben Sunday Roast Gerichten gab es natürlich auch die übrigen Speisen auf der Karte. Wir entschieden uns für Pork und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Als Getränk bestellten wir Ale, was sehr gut zum Gericht passte. Die Preise sind etwas höher, für die Gegend aber auch nicht ungewöhnlich.

Fantastic Experience! As locals, we’ve been to The Mayflower before, but this time, we brought my in-laws, who were visiting,for dinner, and it was a wonderful experience. My mother-in-law is celiac, and she was delighted to find plenty of tasty gluten-free options. All of our food was delicious! On top of that, our waitress, Lucy, was absolutely amazing—attentive, friendly, and professional. The service was perfect, the food was excellent, and, of course, there is one of the best views in London here. Highly recommended!

Como lugareños, hemos estado en The Mayflower antes, pero esta vez, trajimos mis leyes, que estaban de visita, para la cena, y fue una experiencia maravillosa. Mi madre - suegra - es celíaca, y estaba encantada de encontrar un montón de opciones sabrosas sin gluten. Toda nuestra comida era delicioso! Además de eso, nuestra camarera, Lucy, era absolutamente increíble - atento, amable y profesional. El servicio era perfecto, la comida era excelente, y, por supuesto, hay una de las mejores vistas de Londres aquí! Muy recomendable!

Loved finding the Mayflower Pub! As a traveling celiac, food is always the hardest part. While my partner can eat anything, I’m incredibly limited. Was delighted to find gluten free options on the menu, including the traditional fish & chips! They have a separate dedicated fryer for a reduced chance of contamination and the service is both friendly and knowledgeable.

Love this pub, really cosy and the people who work there are great. The only thing I'd change is to have more ashtrays on the decking - people smoke and just drop their ciggies which then go into the Thames, then inevitably the sea. Save the fishies!! 🐟

We stopped here during the week for lunch in February. It has charm, great food, and a wonderful server who has the perfect kind of attitude. I would definitely recommend this pub and would return if I visit London again. I had the calamari (4 out of 5), the soup of the day was Lentil soup (4 out of 5), and my husband loved the bangers and mash (5 out of 5). The beer was cold, the wine was tasty, and the sun was shining. (10 out of 5) 😁 There is a porch out back that overlooks the Thames and has seating outside; I bet it’s great on a beautiful day.

This was our second visit to the pub, and we we enjoyed it as much as our first. Charming interior, good beer selection, friendly staff and lovely home-cooked pub food. Worth noting that if you don't want to drink your beer from a jug, you need to ask for a straight glass. Also, if you want to avoid the 12.5% service charge, best to order at the bar in the pub area. There seems to be an annoying trend in pubs where they offer to take your order from the table and bring drinks your drinks over, and then add service charge.

This is one of the oldest pubs in London and I highly recommend it. Delicious food, great atmosphere, fantastic location with brilliant decked area to the rear right overlooking the River Thames. In the winter they supply blankets and hot water bottles. There is also a fire inside to keep you warm. Recommend you also check the specials board for more deliciously tasting food. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Can be very busy so you may want to book a table. Perhaps I shouldn't be recommending as it will only get busier. I recommend everything on the menu 😋

The people that work there are always so warm, caring and just a pleasure to chat/deal with (they even got us food after the kitchen closed when we turned up late one evening despite the place being rammed) I don’t give somewhere 5 stars often but this place knocks it out the park for food, service, location (it’s right over the Thames) and vibes - its beautiful and old inside and has gorgeous views outside - go go go!!!

Bottom line: definitely go to this place for an authentic British pub experience. Reservations a couple days ahead of time are a good idea. There is very limited walk-in seating and it is very cramped. It is a couple short blocks from the Rotherhithe overground station. We were lucky to get a small table as a walk-in. We started with drinks - a Guinness for me and a Mayflower Scurvy Ale for my companion. The Guinness is well known, and the ale was just what you want from a local ale. For dinner I had the traditional steak pie and she had a seared tuna. Both were exceptional. For dessert we split the house specially of a Sticky Toffee Pudding which is sweet enough to trigger a room full of diabetic comas, but very delicious! The total bill including drinks and dessert was £66, and for the food, service and atmosphere I consider that a bargain. Will definitely go back!
