Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The Southampton University Cricket Club had our ball here at the mayflower village and it was absolutely fantastic. The downstairs was bookable easily and easily fitted 70/80 cricket men and women. It was decorated lovely and Christmassy, and the Christmas buffet options were really well...priced and excellent quality. I’ve been coming here as a student for 3 years now and it’s bloody excellent, not overpriced and the atmosphere was brilliant.More

We arrived pre mayflower show, I stupidly booked the wrong date but the “Man with the hat” was so accommodating and found us a table. The service and food was brilliant and the staff were even better. The “Man with the hat” was such a...great laugh and entertaining, we had a great evening. We will definitely be returning.More

Myself and my three friends had some dinner at this lovely place just before our show and the staff were super friendly, funny and absolutely outstanding. Getting everyone involved in songs and jokes! We had a little wait for food but it was well worth...it and because of all the entertainment, it took near to no time at all! Thank you for an amazing experience! ❤️More

What a fabulous evening! We were going to the theatre to watch The Full Monty and I remembered from past visits with friends what a great place this was. This visit was with my 85 year old mum, sister and cousin. Mum was looked after...and given special attention so she had the best time. They played music to get everyone ready for the show and smiles abounded. Good choice of food for everyone which was fresh, hot and delicious. Steve and Gary the managers were highly entertaining, courteous and professional throughout the evening. We are definitely coming back. Special thanks to The Mayflower Village 💃More

Superb food, excellent service and welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back and we all highly recommend. We booked about 5 weeks in advance for an early evening meal before going to a show in the theatre next door. We allowed 2 hours and this...was perfect for a leisurely 2 courses and drinks. The menu is unpretentious 2 of us shared a pizza, salad and chips one had a main course salad and one had a burger. All the food was hot, generously portioned, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The chaps serving us were attentive without being too in your face and we all felt very comfortable. If you go to the Mayflower Village you will have an amazing time.More

This was our second visit this year and the reason we came back was we enjoyed our first visit. This 2nd visit wasn't very good. We waited quite a while for our meal and our starters arrived on the table at the same time as...our mains. When we queried this we were told that they serve them at the same time on theatre days as they don't have enough time to serve them seperately to enable diners to leave in time for the performance. However, this was completely untrue as other theatre goers were served their starters first, followed by their mains and there was plenty of time left before the start of the performance. It was obviously a kitchen error, but rather than tell the truth the host opted to lie. We won't be back.More

It was not untrue and to call one of my team a liar us grossly unfair. Sometimes little somethings are taken as soon as they are ready to free up the pass, but they would have been ordered at the same time.

Visited here before a show at the theatre. Used to go here a lot years ago when it was Encore, so it was nice to see how it looked now. The manager was very pleasant, as were all the staff. The menu had a varied...choice and we felt spoilt for choice. The burgers we had were really tasty and the chips were really good. I think the prices were a little pricey, although believe it was cheaper than other pubs/restaurants by the theatre. We would definitely come back here.More

Simply awful visit with my family . Host so rude and discourteous. We simply enquired about changing a sports channel and were informed that they didnt have BT Sport or the time to do it ,only to see the channel appear later in the afternoon.... He didnt really want us there as we were only drinking and claimed all tables were reserved. I was there with my wife, brother and sister in law along with my 12 year old niece so we were not a noisy crowd. Not friendly to people who are not locals. When I confronted the manager he said he was not bothered about my complaint (and his lies) Stay away much more pleasanter places to eat and drink PaulMore
