Hey guys! Today I'm at The Mayflower pub, a great little gem on the waterfront in the town of Rotherhithe, London. This little spot is about a 30-minute walk from the Tower of London, and well worth the visit! Inside, you'll be treated to the traditional Mayflower Pub Menu of Fish & Chips, Scurvy Ale, and a wonderful cheese platter, just like the pilgrims might have enjoyed back before their maiden voyage. This is the original 1620 mooring point of the Pilgrim Fathers Mayflower ship, which continued to Plymouth before sailing to the New World under Captain Christopher Jones.Fun fact: I am a direct descendent of Francis Cooke, a Leiden Separatist who came to America on the Mayflower and signed the Mayflower Compact.In all, I would say that this dish was the best fish and chips in London that we had! Such history and so adorable both inside the pub and out on the patio! We started out with the Scurvy ale, their house specialty, followed by a really nice cheese platter with crackers, chutney and grapes. Ate out on the patio since it was a beautiful October day. Watch out when you eat on the patio, as the tide can come up quickly and splash you pretty well!Fish and chips were so good ..the tartar sauce had great flavor put into it, as did the mushy peas, which had a mint accent. Soooooo delicious! We will be back in June, when our daughter graduates from high school! One tip: Let's switch out the Whitney Houston, Dirty Dancing and Celine Dion and hear some festive English pub music! ;)
