Over 3 years I've lived here the food prices at the Mayflower have more than doubled and the food is no better than average. £4.50 for a pint if cider was robbery. I certainly won't be visiting it again.

Just visited The Mayflower on a busy Bank Holiday evening - they coped well with a party of 13 and the food was delicious. It seems to me that the pub has acted quickly to resolve some of the issues raised recently.

Just as the original Mayflower crew sought sustinance before departing on their one way cruise, our combined crew of 15 hungry pilgims sought a farewell meal before venturing out on the briny for a spring weekend. Our booked visit met some organisational problems. Although happy to accept a booking for a table for15, they were not able to accept a... More

An attractive building by the marina with plenty of parking and only 15 minutes` walk from the town centre. The rooms were fairly large and well-equipped with a modern bathroom. However, the rooms lacked sufficient lighting and were cold as the windows are single-glazed, metal-framed and lead-lit thus letting in the very cold March wind.There was tea and coffee but... More

The hotel is situated on the road next to the marina so great for access to there. We walked into town which took about 15 minutes max. We had a drink in the bar before going out and found this reasonably priced as they have a 'happy time' between 5 and 7pm. We then found out our daughter who is... More

The food was really delicious but the service has been pretty rubbish both times I've been (chap with the patch on is very surly), other staff were just ok. Will go back again though as both times the food has been lovely.

We came across this quite attractive pub by chance. It was getting on a bit , about 1.30pm and we were just looking for a drink and a sandwich,or something light as we were going to have a big meal that evening. It was still fairly busy with lunchtime customers so it was several minutes before anyone appeared. It was... More

Recently went to the Mayflower in Lymington for lunch with friends. Nice surroundings, attentive staff, and we very much enjoyed what we ordered. Overall very good food and affordable prices. The place was pretty busy with the festive season upon us but the staff were very efficient and friendly and service was good. Sizzling steak was excellent and even the... More
