| I had the recent pleasure of re-visiting the old maypole recently,and the pub,it's staff and it's facilities continue to impress me. i. A couple of years ago the pub underwent a complete refurbishment into a Sizzling Pub and resteraunt,the pub is now divided into two zones,the main area is the sizzling restaraunt,where you can order some really succulant dishes such as their excellent steaks,cooked very nicely and very tasty indeed. This part of the pub allows families to eat with their children there's pleanty of seating and is a very extensive area there is also a fully enclosed Beer Garden out the back,as well as an outside drinking space at the side. The other part was the former Pool Room,and this is the general pub area-you can also eat food purchased from the sizzling menu here as well-this area has more seating, plasma TVs for all the sport etc,Two Pool Tables,a Darts area and a newly installed"Top of the Pops"Digital Touchscreen Jukebox-select any top 40 hit going back to 1952 and more. I once was a regular at this pub when i used to work in the area-since my redundancy,and over the years i have seen many changes it was once a Mr Qs,an Arena pub and is now a Sizzling pub and restaraunt in the mid 90s there seems to be one thing that remains the same,that is the old Maypole continues to be run by Ray Claydon and his family,he has been here throughout all those years though I still pop back to the old maypole now and then just to see how everything is with the pub. Another thing i forgot to mention is that they have a monday club(Including Bank Holidays)-Where you enjoy drinks such as Carling and Carlsbery at only £1.79 a pint.!!. pabanks49 - 2 Nov 2011 21:14 |
| My Dad drank here from 1936. I saw Duanne Eddy and his band live here in 1975. This has always been a great local pub. Always will be. The landlord and his wife, and family, are quality. Compared to the Alfreds Head, the Fairlop Oak, or any other local pubs, this is best. And as for the local tearabouts...just don't upset them. Cushtie. duracellrabbit - 15 Dec 2010 22:21 |
| Great beer and food prices. Interior is nice enough. Have eaten here on numerous occasions and it has always been nicely cooked. On the whole, bar staff are friendly and I have never had to wait that long to get served. gosunderland - 23 Jul 2010 13:24 |
| The drinks in here are incredibly cheap, but there's a good reason for that. Unless you're willing to be surrounded by local idiots and lager louts in a stale setting (despite the decent refurbishment works) then this pub is not for you. Neil_floor - 7 Oct 2009 21:08 |
| I have been to this pub a couple of times and was impressed on both visits. The inside is nicely decorated; the food was great and it was well priced. No complaints on the beer, how many places do a pint of Carlsberg for £1.79 The staff were also friendly and I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. gosunderland - 26 Aug 2009 11:22 |
