"I have been a patron of this restaurant for the past 25 years, and it has always been a delightful experience. However, my recent visit was quite disappointing. Despite having a confirmed booking, we had trouble being seated as we arrived five minutes early. The restaurant was empty at the time. A large party then arrived, causing chaos and making our experience noisy and hectic. We encountered issues with the kitchen, resulting in some of our starters not being available. When they did arrive, they were disappointingly presented with odd plastic decorations instead of the usual garnish. Our main courses also fell short in terms of portion size and quality compared to previous visits. Additionally, we were charged for bottled water and lemonade when we requested tap water. A 10% service charge was added to the bill, which we questioned due to the poor service we received. The staff became rude and insisted we pay the service charge, despite our dissatisfaction. We reluctantly paid a reduced amount out of principle. Overall, the service was subpar and left us feeling disappointed and intimidated. Despite wanting to support local businesses, the lack of customer service tarnished our experience. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this restaurant in the future."

The service at the Sunday buffet was very friendly and attentive, with excellent quality freshly cooked food. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to others.

Hi we placed an order for delivery but were literally put on the spot without any notification that the delivery minimum order had been increased to £50, we were obviously shocked and felt we were put into a corner and order more food that we actually did not eat. Not happy View menu

We are new to Sherfield on Loddon,and were looking for a good Chinese restaurant for delivery. We had a leaflet through the door, so gave it a try on Saturday evening. It was excellent food,one of the best we have had. Sauces weren't over sweet and all was very good quality. We will definitely order again. The driver was very helpful and friendly

a table fot two on a Thursday night with my wife and I. Very quiet and a prompt and customer focused service. A clean and pleasant environmet to eat. Good selection of drinks and food, evwn bought a takeawy for my eldest son. The food was of high qualit although I have to say that the seaweed was a little too salty (but not a big deal). We will definitely visit again. Easy parking in the local authority carpark.

I visited Mayflower Restaurant on Sunday with my family, we travelled from Bournemouth and were in the area so thought why not enjoy a chinese buffet. I am ever so glad we chose Mayflower Restaurant as their food was delicious and the service amazing. The food was coming out super fast and everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. We enjoyed it soo much, we are already planning our next visit. Cannot recommend enough! View menu

I recently dined at this restaurant and despite it being very crowded, the service was still relatively fast. The food was incredibly delicious, with a wide variety of vegetarian options available at the all-you-can-eat buffet. The service was great, especially from the cheerful lady with the broken shoe. All of the staff were lovely and our overall dining experience was fantastic. It was definitely worth the price, but I would recommend making a reservation to avoid any disappointment.

Food was top notch coudnt fault it service not so great, On receiving the food they brought out 3 egg fried rice and we had only ordered 2, they said not to worry just keep it, Then another meal came to us to which we said it wasn't ours so sent it back, When we got the bill they had listed 4 fried rice so we said we only ordered 2, they brought 3 and said we could keep it, to then be told because we kept it we had to pay for it even though we didn't order it!, coudnt be bothered to argue so just paid it, stood up to put our coats on and before we had even got them on and left the table they started stripping it of tablecloths, thought this was a bit rude, at least let us get away from the t...

"Our first visit. We cannot praise thank The Wellie highly enough. What a find! Peacefully rural on a quiet road to the south of Baughurst. A classic, pretty country pub, now converted to an excellent restaurant, with three rooms. What strikes you first is how immaculate The Wellie is, inside and out. The large garden is a delight. Masses of dahlias and all manner of bushes and plants. Birds, birds and more birds. Do check out the vegetable garden beyond the rear car park. You then walk inside to the warmest of relaxed welcomes from the owners, Simon and Jason, and manager, Sheila, and their lovely young helpers. Nothing is too much trouble. The first thing you’ll spot is the array of fruit, veg salad for sale by the pub bar – the Wellie Deli. Along with home made jams, chutneys, quiches, etc. I then spotted the two hand pumps! Longdog Golden Poacher Basingstoke Pride. The seating inside is for diners every session is a sell out! But I was very happy to sup several excellent pints of well kept draught Basingstoke Pride in the garden – until I discovered their Negronis! Truly the best this side of Kwant (Piccadilly). We’d opted for the room in the pub: the Apartment. Two rooms on the first floor, knocked through. Enormous comfy bed, large rainfall shower, sofa, mini bar – two TVs! Free milk homemade shortbread. One of the discoveries we made here is the fabulous tea they serve from Prince Sons. As you can tell by now, we were very happy with our first stay at The Wellie… and then we went down for dinner! A truly exceptional menu from Jason’s kitchen, which changes each evening. Highlights were the scallops wrapped in pancetta, the pollack, the lamb pot pie, the twice baked cheese souffle, the NY cheesecake, the rhubarb ice cream, the treacle tart... All so fresh, tasty, and mainly from their garden. What we loved most was it was relaxed but fine dining without the tiny portions. The Full English breakfast the next morning was equally tasty. All in all, we did not want to go home! Thank you Simon, Jason Sheila. We will be back, soon."
