We had a overnight stay given as a gift. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The room was large and comfortable. The staff were amazing. Our evening meal was lovely. And the impromptu bingo was fun. We had a lovely breakfast. Stayed with friends and we all agree we would recommend the Maypole and would return again.

Reserved a table for myself and a friend to dine a couple of days ago. On arrival we were shown to our reserved table by the fire and although he pub was very quiet when we arrived it was getting busier about half an hour later. The menu and specials board were slightly limited but I suspect this reflects the time of year (early January) but there were still numberous dishes that took our fancy. We both ordered steak and ale pie with fresh veg and chips. The portions were good and when it arrived it was nice and hot (not too hot!) and very tasty. Veg was cooked just right and the delicious chips were home made and not frozen. There is a good selection of draught beer. I ordered a pint of Landord and it was peerfect. The hosts were very polite and friendly. We will definately call again. The only downside is that the Maypole is 19 miles from where I live!

Stayed at the Maypole for a couple of days. Had a pleasant relaxing stay. Staff friendly and welcoming. Had Dinner on 2 nights and Breakfast on 2 mornings. The food was served hot as needed and well presented. Portion sizes especially the evening menu were very generous. The Steak & Ale and Steak &Kidney pies were clearly homemade and came with ample servings of fresh veg and a choice of potatoes. For Breakfast we were offered choice of Fruit Juices, several cereal options and a varied choice of cooked items. These were accompanied by tea/coffee and ample toast. Breakfast each day was sufficient to see us through until Dinner. Our first time in the area but we will definitely return and hopefully stay at the Maypole.

Excellent home made food, high quality. And hearty portions. Very welcoming staff, warm service. Our group included young children and we were all welcomed.

Lovely food, very friendly pub.

Service was subpar and staff were generally just rude. Table wasn’t cleaned. Food was just okay and our garlic bread was solid as a rock.

Our first ever visit here. We expected it to be quiet for a Monday evening around 7 but the bar area was absolutely buzzing when we arrived. Staff were so friendly and there was a happy atmosphere. Service very efficient. Menu is extensive but we opted for traditional ham egg and chips and scampi and chips. Both tasted good and the portions were very decent size. Only slight gripe was that the ham is actually a thick piece of gammon which was huge but not what I expected. Decor is quirky and interesting. Would definitely consider again if we find ourselves in the area.

All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was beautiful. I had the Moroccan lamb tagine which was so tasty. My partner had steak , which he absolutely devoured. My dad chose the beef from the specials and left nothing on the plate. My mum had chosen ham and eggs, which, unfortunately, she didn't enjoy. It was not ham, it was a thick piece of gammon. She does not like gammon, so would not have chose this if she had realised and the eggs were overdone. We were all expecting thin slices of tasty Yorkshire ham, so were disappointed. A description on the menu would have been helpful. But other than this, the food was delicious and excellent value for money. Our dog felt very happy here and it was a lovely, calm and relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be returning.
