"I haven 't been to the mayflower for years. The last time was for my mums birthday meal 3 years ago, we had 2 young children and waited 1.5hours for our mains. My wife had been their recently for lunch and said the food was good! Especially the desert, and would love to go for her birthday. I booked a table for 11 over a week in advance for 6pm. We arrived and were told there is a 45-60minute wait for food, and because of the size of our table they cannot guarantee our food will come out at the exactly the same time. This was fair they has warned us but it was also gross understatement. They did have notices up saying they didn 't accept walk ins, which was fine, we had booked. We heard they only had 1 person in the kitchen, and from what we could see 2-3members of staff running front of house. NOT A MANAGER IN SIGHT. I also can 't stress that it was not full. It was a long way away from capacity. So of our 11, the first 4 main dishes came out after 1hour 5mins...reasonable. Another dish came out 10minutes later. My young children had starters with their kids meal, consisting of nachos. No dips as they didn 't want them, just a bowl of crisps. These took 1hour and 45minutes to come out. By this time, my children were becoming quite tearful. My inlaws dinner came out next. And at roughly 2hours in to our meal, everyone 's plates were cleared from the table. WE STILL HAD NOT HAD OUR FOOD, NOR THE CHILDRENS MAINS. My wife went to speak to the staff, and working in hospitality was incredibly understanding, we know this is a management issue and not a staff issue. It was not the waiting staffs fault. They were under the impression it was just the children who hadn 't had their meal, but we informed them we hadn 't either. After 2hours 20mins, our food arrived. The wifes bun-less burger, boasting grilled chicken breast, avocado, tomato salsa, lettuce topped with sour cream arrived. It was lettuce, two slices of tomato, and a COLD chicken breast that was bordering pink in the middle. No avocado, no salsa, no sour cream. My daughter, who by this point was tired, frustrated, really lost control when her chicken was cold, her corn on the cob fell apart, she didn 't like it and to be fair to her the corn looked rank. My son (5) managed to eat some of his chips whilst falling asleep in his chair. The staff were accommodating when I wouldn 't pay for most of the food. I asked for the cake we had bought down for a birthday celebration to be given back to me in the bag as we had no time for this. I felt extremely bad for the continued customers coming in from the adjoining Hotel placing orders for food, not knowing how long they 'd have had to wait and what would arrive when it got there. We left, and got some food from the mcdonalds across the road. So I wasn 't going to leave a review, but I thought I 'd phone them this morning, and ask if I could order the desert my wife wanted for a treat, maybe give the restaurant a chance to redeem itself. I wasn 't asking to have them for free, I wanted to pay. I was told quite sternly this isn 't something they would do through fear of repercussions if something were to go wrong. I think think allowing a takeaway desert is the least of their worries. Genuinly disorganised. Understaffed, clearly incredibly poorly managed. This town has lost plenty of good places over the last few years, and this in my book is another restaurant gone. If I worked their, I 'd be looking to get off that clearly sinking ship, I wouldn 't want my name anywhere near that car crash."

Met for a family meal. Staff are fantastic, friendly and helpful Reece and Sharon served us (and not to forgetting the back of house staff) that made our visit great.

Food when finally arrived was good, but took a while, restaurant was practically empty. Attitude of duty manager and waitresses left a lot to be desired. Very off hand and not cheerful. Won’t be back. Visualizza piatti

The restaurant is severely understaffed and only offers half of the items listed on their menu, as they are only serving their daytime menu. It is clear that management needs to be addressed before the restaurant fails.

We came today for our annual Christmas lunch with grandparents. We ordered Christmas dinners for the adults and burgers for the children. Starters were ok. We had prawn cocktails which were nice but the butter was rock hard so couldn’t spread it on the bread....

Table booked for 2:15 ordered and paid specified 4 children’s meals ordered their starter and main course before ordering the adult meals, waited over half hour for children’s starters (garlic bread slice and nachos which are basically crisps on a plate) after about 15 minutes...

We had another wonderful meal today at the restaurant. Some of us enjoyed the delicious Sunday roast, while others ordered from the menu and loved their meals. A big thank you to Liam for accommodating our group of 18 and for his exceptional service. Reece and Daisy were also attentive, polite, and professional throughout our meal. Despite being a large party, we felt very comfortable and well taken care of, even with other customers around. The food was of great quality and the prices were reasonable. Thank you to the staff for a fantastic experience!

As a 'valued member ' with Brewers Fayre, or so they inform us, we booked a table for Mother 's Day lunch after receiving an email offering us a deal on this. When we arrived we were informed that our table had been double booked and we could only have a 'tall table ', when one became available and there would be at least a 1 hour wait for food. This is not only unprofessional but disappointing as we had not planned for any other food for lunch and as it was Mother 's Day, getting a table elsewhere would be difficult. We were not offered any form of apology, compensation, complimentary drink or similar, so we left and we do not plan to revisit a Brewers Fayre after this poor planning and ser...

"We came as a group of 10 for my Mother in Laws 60th birthday, and I must say it was a shambles. Please let me say, that we have been many times prior to this and have had excellent food and fantastic service, so not sure what has happened. Firstly, my Father in Law had to pay a deposit for 12 of us, which was absolutely fine, however, one of those was for a baby who would not have been eating. Unfortunately the mother and baby were unable to attend due to illness, so we lost £10 of the deposit. I would like to Firstly ask, why was we charged for a baby, who was never going to be eating? Secondly, we asked for a pitcher of beer, and when this was served, we were given 3 (out of 4) of the most dirtiest glasses. The beer from previous drinkers was still in the bottom, hence the staining of brown at the bottom of the glass. This is totally unacceptable, and this could actually cause serious health issues to people drinking from them. The waitress brought the first two starters out, prawn cocktails, and dumped it infront of a parson who didn 't even order it, and even after we told her who they were for, just left it there.....would you not have picked this up and actually served it to the correct person? The prawn cocktails came out on a slate and as much as this was very nicely presented, knowing that someone with only the use of one arm had ordered this, it would have been a better option to put this on a plate, so food could be scraped to the edge of the plate and picked up. Rather than a husband having to put his fork up against his wife 's and juggle getting the food on. That 's just a food for thought, incase you have anyone else in this position in the future. We then had the mains served. Out of the 10 orders, were four full racks of ribs. One of these came out as a half. We asked the waitress if this was correct and she said, sorry, she would get the other half out. This came out AFTER the person had finsihed their dinner, which meant they had to take this away in a take away box. Seemed like there was no urgency to correct the error immediately. The burgers, I am sorry to say, are an actual joke. The burgers themselves looked like the small ones you get from Iceland. But yet, are being charged at nearly £14. That was shocking. The chips, were edible, but burnt. And again, please think about putting it on a plate (or atleast asking the person eating it what they would prefer) and not a wooden chopping board. A chopping board is for chopping after all...... We then asked for our cake to come out, so we could sing happy birthday and blow the candles out. We got told yes no problem, but you will be charged £2 per person for eating there at no point had we mentioned we wanted to eat it there and had actually already mentioned this prior to handing over the cake. We opted not to have a dessert as we felt quite deflated to be honest. When the bill came out, I asked if the 3 for 2 drinks had been deducted and she said no, thats only Friday 's . I think you need to make that clearer on your menu, as it just states Monday... Tuesday...etc and the Friday 's. But your drinks deal just says Evenings you need to amend that to specifically say Friday evenings as it is in fact false advertisement on your part. The bill came up, minus the £50 deposit (still baffled why you charged £5 for a baby) and to my surprise a £27 service charge. I asked for this to be removed, as I find this quite shocking to put on any bill. A service charge is not a given, it is a discretion by those who are paying. You cannot expect anyone to pay a service charge if they feel the service has not been up to scratch. As I previously said above, we have been here multiple times before and always had great service and exceptional food. Last night, just was not the same. It is a shame, as we come here for birthdays and we will be thinking twice now, due to the above."
