The Maypole

Absolutely lovely meal!! We go to Hayling island often and this was the first time we had a meal at the maypole and it will not be the last!
The staff were so lovely and helpful, the food was so so so tasty. Best cheese burger I have had in a long time. A good drink selection too.

Can’t wait to go back

Very generous portion of food and well cooked. That is just the tallest burger I've ever seen in my life, really made you "jaw dropping" ;D

There are crispy onion rings as well as the lovely chubby chips, served with friendly manner and at the reasonable price. The only problem may be getting a food coma after dinning here lol

We visited the Maypole 3rd August 2022. We popped in as a stop gap before our booked time at the Donkey Sanctuary.
The lager/cider was great and refreshing. Our daughter enjoyed the play area in the garden.
The server (I'm sorry, forgot to ask for your name) was lovely, friendly and great to chat to.
We will pop in again when we're back in the area.

Good food, good beer and dog friendly . The food on the specials menu is really very good at the moment, gourmet quality. Well worth any wait.

2022 update. Now under new management but still dog friendly with well kept draught beers and cider.
Food is classic pub grub rather than gourmet. Fish and chips had a really nice piece of fish and OK chips. The chicken burger was a plain bit of grilled chicken, the relish was nice, though. The Northney farm ice cream is good quality and the warm chocolate fudge cake was chocolatey and fudgy.

We are staying up the road and decided to walk down and give it a try after reading previous reviews. Being a Monday it was not busy but still had a nice atmosphere. The dog was welcome as was other patrons dogs. We ordered drinks and meals which arrived in a timely manner and were all very nice and well presented. Monday, as it turned out was burger night so also very good value. We definitely would recommend for a nice pint and a good meal.

What a pleasant experience in the
Maypole to we popped in late afternoon for lunch as many places had stopped serving for the day and were able to order from the Specials list 📃.
We had Cottage pie 🥧.
After our meal the Manager Chef came to check on us and we all had a friendly chat about the Food and the plan's to update the pub.
The Pub is very traditional and a pleasure to stay for friendly banter.
Dog friendly and helpful staff.
Will come again and recommend to you.

This was our third visit to the Maypole, Katie and Paul are fantastic hosts, and the food was fantastic ! Want to try the Sunday lunch next !!
The live band they were hosting when we were there was exceptional, the drummer especially!!

Number one place for my wife and I to eat on Hayling. Always a excellent warm welcome from Mandy, Nevil and her team. Backed up with the best food, cooked by a proper Chef. All washed down with Ales kept in perfect condition by Nevil. I recommend the Pie of the Day, with a pint of HSB. Or if its a special occasion then you can prebook from the "Special Menu", ideal for Birthdays and Anniversaries. Highly Recommended.
