Lovely welcoming pub/ restaurant, food is homemade with generous portions, good value for money. Varied menu and daily specials. We have dined on numerous occasions and have always enjoyed our meal

We had a meal for 10 (6 adults and 4 children) on Sunday for my birthday. Food was delicious, delivered quickly and plenty of it. Highly recommend the fish and chips! Children’s menus slightly less choice as a couple of things were not available, but there was something for everyone. The staff are friendly and helpful.

A very nice pub with good food and ales. We were well looked after and will certainly return.

We called in at Saturday lunchtime having booked a table in advance. I had the salmon fillet, my wife had the veggie pie, and both came with plenty of properly cooked vegetables and were certainly hot enough (unlike for a couple of reviewers on this page.) We were impressed with the range offered , especially of veggie options, and both felt we had found a place we will be happy to return to.

Excellent service. Lovely atmosphere. Bar and tables full on a Wednesday lunch time Prawn and feta salad was excellent Spinach and Wensleydale lasagne excellent as was the Salmon in Hollandaise sauce

Walked in and straight away the atmosphere was very awkward, and we felt as if we shouldn’t be there. Didn’t even get greeted when we walked in, and we had booked a table. Had to go up to order food and the waitress acted as though it was her first time taking an order. Food was sub-par as well, rather bland. Over all we wished we had stayed in and just ordered takeaway from somewhere else, felt it was a waste of an evening, particularly disappointing as it was our last night of our vacation. Shame as the website shows it to be a lovely pub, but complete opposite when you actually turn up.

Nice atmosphere, lovely food and a good choice, good beer and pleasant staff. Recommended.

The food was excellent though the place looks a little dated.

Absolutely fantastic, would highly recommend, from the minute we walked through the door, they could not do enough for us, the service was absolutely brilliant, the staff could not do enough for us, we sat by the log fire, the food was beautiful… we could not fault 1 single thing, we will be back as soon as we can… 5 stars is really not enough. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Ate here last weekend as a group of 5 who were staying nearby. Service was very good and the staff were friendly and approachable. On the whole the food was very good although a little on the cool side for a couple of the group. Overall good value for money and an enjoyable evening

Kind welcome, for a solitary female venturing into a strange place. Dog-friendliness helped me feel relaxed, as I adore dogs. Food was fantastic, and the atmosphere meant the couple (with shih-tzu) that picked the table next to me became friends with me v quickly. Staff were efficient and very warm. Definitely recommend the Maypole!!

Excellent hot food, steak pie was beautiful , vegetables cooked perfectly and lovely chips. Fabulous crumble and custard, sticky toffee pudding with extra sauce was delicious

Excellent food and quick service. Would definitely recommend.

Good choice of food plus a selection of ‘specials’. Would recommend as food was good, generous portions and reasonably priced. Would have had dessert but no-one came to ask

Honestly the weirdest pub we’ve ever been to. Zero atmosphere, no music or background noise so you’re forced to listen to everyone around you eating and scraping their plates, food took forever to come out and then it was lukewarm, dry microwaved rubbish. Decor is dated and old fashioned. Just not good at all. It has such potential but it’s just naff with no atmosphere or character.

My husband and I had a lovely meal here, we both chose the Murphys Stew accompanied with new potatoes, mash and fresh vegetables, the steak melted in your mouth and tasted delicious, a generous portion that I couldn’t finish. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. Thank you Gillian and Craig, we’ll be back soon.
