We had a drink here before going to a show, The staff were super friendly and helpful, so much so, we went back after the show. Lovely place to go. Next time we will eat there.
Arrived without a booking for a pre theatre meal. The menu is quirky, like the owners What a lovely experience. The food was delicious, the service was brilliant, the ambiance was warm and friendly and Steve and Gary are hilarious. We will definately be back but will make sure to book in advance as we won't chance not getting a table.
Came here today for the first time and were absolutely blown away. The service was second to none. Staff super friendly but not over baring. The lovely gent showed us to our seats dressed in full hamilton-esque clothing and was an absolute delight. I'm also a wheelchair user and was shown immediately where the disabled toilet were incase I needed it, we were given somewhere to store the wheelchair whilst I was seated and they also gave me somewhere to store my walking stick. The food was delicious and the atmosphere as a whole was 10/10. We will most certainly be back. Thank you
Great first experience here, love how the host was dressed up for the show. Food was very good, and they were super friendly staff. Highly recommend.
We had a flat white and cappuccino from their coffee machine. They were lovely. I ordered at the bar and a lovely lady who served me with a welcoming smile, kindly brought the coffees to our table. The atmosphere was great as there was a party of ladies celebrating something. So the music was all sing-along numbers Neil Diamond Tom Jones The Beatles & Dean Martin etc. The ladies were in fine form singing at the tops of their voices. And this was all before 1pm in the afternoon!
We chose to have our wedding reception in the lovely basement bar underneath The Mayflower Village. We had such a fabulous time and are so glad that we chose to celebrate here. The staff were phenomenal. The food was gorgeous and the atmosphere could not have been better. All of our guests had a great time and many complimented the venue. I would definitely hire this space again for an event in the future, and would recommend it to anybody looking for a good venue to celebrate an occasion in Southampton. A big thank you to The Mayflower Village for making our special day perfect, and an extra thank you to Gary for hosting, Chelsea and Claire for organising, and Steven for his slippers, which were very much needed by the end of the night.
Popped in after seeing Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat at the theatre. Fabulous pint, great chips and the proprietors were gorgeous!! They arranged for our little one to meet Joseph (who had popped in for a quick drink after the matinee) and then shared their very own coat of many colours! Absolutely made our daughter’s day
What a wonderful place went for a meal before watching hamilton and my son who is very fussy with eating was catered for and we were treated amazingly the staff and owners were such fun and nothing was to much for them . Owner dressing as george Washington and allowing photos with my son made his day but also came out to talk to him after the show would highly recommend
