The Mayflower pub is a hidden gem in the heart of Rotherhithe, London.

A traditional and typically English pub surrounded by cobbled streets, the outside decked jetty and cosy candlelit restaurant have stunning river views. You can spot the original 1620 mooring point of the Pilgrim Father’s Mayflower ship, warm yourself by the open fire and imagine who may have been sitting in your seat 400 years ago.

The food menu offers delicious, classic British dishes using local and fresh ingredients and is complemented by a great range of well-kept traditional ales, craft beers, local gins and fine wines. Be sure to catch the sunset and try the best fish and chips in London.

They have a dining room on the first floor which can also cater for groups of up to 40, and the whole pub can be hired if you've got a lot of friends and a really big occasion.
