kitchen

Great menu of home cooked meals.
Very wholesome portions.
Great service and friendly hosts
Will definitely go back, only problem will be what to choose.
Excellent value and well worth a visit.
Outside seating on a sunny day made it really special.

Spoilt for choice

Called in Saturday afternoon for lunch.  
Great menu, loads of choice & huge specials board.  
Food was excellent & staff friendly

Several people brought their dogs which was nice

Will definitely be back - only downside was the beer - no John smiths!  But hubby will drive next time so I can have wine!!!

Excellent food

Called in today, won’t be going back based on our experience, counted 8/10 people, many empty tables but couldn’t accommodate two of us at 3pm, we hadn’t booked and they were very busy, weird and protencious 

Clearly an issue with kitchen capacity, rather than footfall, this is a pub that does food, I mean you shouldn’t have to book at lunch for gods sake surely, evening fair enough, but lunch time ? Remember no more than ten people in over I think three tables the rest of the tables empty, no reservations and guess what an hours delay on food! Capacity in the kitchen not footfall ! 

Guess what on a Sunday you do t have to book …… just walk in no booking required……… so on a Sunday it appears footfall isn’t a problem …… the secret of course is it’s carvery only !!!!!!!! So evidence enough that I’m right the issue is kitchen capacity AND a far to big menu offering it’s not needed simply a establishment that doesn’t know what it is, I’d rather have a full pub eating fish chips peas and other delights and having my place busy and making additional on the bar! Than having an empty pub with a far to big menu, with clearly a capacity issue in the kitchen and a very poor occupancy of bums on seats ………. Even some of the food needs pre order pies! Yes it’s true either have them available or take them off menu !! 

Not a well run business unfortunately a pretty nice place with nice food I’m sure but the asset is not being sweated, bar staff and waiting staff must be bored or laughing for they are doing not a lot frankly… barman god he’s polishing glasses all day well most of it, such a shame, this is a full time problem by the way like this everyday same issue nothing changes except of course on a Sunday when carvery on …….. couple slices meat cut by the cook and then pile it high with pre cooked sitting in the oven veg !!!

Won’t be going back poor service and terrible business acumen

Confused and frankly baffled

Last night, four of us went to the Mayflower pub at Austerfield near Bawtry, about half an hour’s drive for us. This quirky pub has a huge menu (we were spoilt for choice) and generous portions - no one leaves the Mayflower feeling hungry!!
Our choice of starters was prawn cocktail (served in a wine glass and turned onto a plate at your table!), black pudding doughnuts served with apple and coconut sauce, ginger pig (pork crackling served with apple sauce) and feta cheese and beetroot salad.
Main course were mussels served with a garlic and cream sauce topped with bacon and cheese (!), slow roasted belly pork, chicken Caesar salad, and salmon in prawn and Hollandaise sauce.
Desserts (we didn’t need them but sooo tempting!) were raspberry roulade and baked cheesecake.
We had pre dinner drinks (beer and G&Ts), and shared a bottle of wine with the meal. We paid £45 pp including a tip - I have included a copy of the menu for full pricing information.
We had a great night out with good friends - many thanks to Chris and all the staff for a lovely evening!

Great food, generous portions too!

We found this pub after recommendations from friends a couple of months back and were initially put off by the 'no booking' for Sunday carvery lunch, and closure each Monday/Tuesday.  Eventually found opportunity to visit, and it is really excellent - since our first visit we must have been half a dozen times for Sunday lunch or evening meals.  Although no bookings taken on Sundays, it is not a problem - so far we've always been seated almost immediately.  Staff are so friendly and helpful - and owner Chris is almost a cabaret act in himself!  Menus are wide ranging, so there's always something to choose -  Amazing Sticky Chicken my favourite, lasagne my wife's;  gammon was great too, as were mussels (not all on the same day!).  These really are Yorkshire portions - be warned: you will not manage starter, main and dessert.  Prices very acceptable - and large car park behind the pub.   A couple of minutes from the centre of Bawtry, 20 minutes from central Doncaster.   A very definite recommendation - well worth the detour!   Only complaint - staff don't seem to acknowledge or respond to these reviews...

Tucked away in Austerley near Bawtry, off the beaten track, well worth a detour

Visited on the off chance for lunch. Waitress was friendly and attentive. There was a lot of choice on the menu, probably a bit too much of a mixture, but no one could say that they couldn’t find something for them to try. We opted for lasagne and pie. They were both homemade and delicious. Proper chips and good portion sizes. We were very happy with our food but had no room for desert! Would visit again when it’s not such a flying visit as would like to try more dishes!

Good pub food

Had a superb evening at The Mayflower last evening. Chris, Jade and all the staff and super and very welcoming.
The food is absolutely delicious, sticky chicken is not to be missed and the Tyson burger is definitely unforgettable and my husband's favourite.
The whole place has a great atmosphere too, perfect for a date night, friends get together or family night out. I would say book a table and go, you will have a brilliant time x

Fabulous evening out and amazing food!

Fantastic quality food and service , we went for Sunday lunch and can not speak highly enough about the quality of the xarvery meat and how well it was cooked. Service was great, and it was so busy , says it all. We gad three courses, I think our eyes were bigger than our bellies tbh , but it was irresistible!

Great quality food  well cooked,and great service 

Didn't know this wonderful place existed until a family member mentioned it.
Booked for evening meal for four. Love the fact you are shown your table but no rush to get you seated, all at your pace.
Good selection of beers, wines and spirits which was nice as even had 0 alcohol ones for drivers. 
Now moving on to menu, absolutely fantastic,  loads of choices and we all said same thing,  generous portions.
Recommend the lamb shanks and gammon, but the prawn pasta looked superb. 
Overall,  great food and drink,  staff were good with us so thank you. Would definitely recommend. 

Great Value 

We arrived just before 1:00pm on a Saturday. Less than 10 cars in the carpark, some old man smoking right outside the front door. 
Greeted at the bar by a smiling young woman who asked if we had booked - we hadn't, we were just passing through. A man at the end of the bar told her they were full.
I looked around and saw many, many empty tables.
So - what's the take away? Not many establishments can afford to turn away customers, especially when they are not exactly full to the brim?
Can't comment food because we clearly not welcome. Their loss, there's an excellent bistro just down the road.
