The pub is known for its freshly prepared, locally sourced homemade food and a commitment to a safe, friendly atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to enjoy quality time with family and friends.

Whether you're seeking a hearty meal after exploring nearby attractions like Cogges Manor Farm or Blenheim Palace, or simply a refreshing drink with a view, The Maybush provides a memorable experience.

Had an amazing lunch at this place! My partner had the traditional fish and chips and I had the Maybush Loaded Burger. We both shared the food to try both dishes ( guilty!)
Okay let me just say this:
The fish and chips. Holy moly! In my opinion, the best fish and chips I’ve ever had in the country. Smooth, velvety feeling with the crunchy skin of the fish. Like I’d gladly be willing to travel all the way to this place to try their fish and chips.
The loaded burger was loaded clearly with beef, bacon, pulled pork and cheese! Ah-may-zing! ❤️

Hope to come here soon !

What a great place we called in for lunch and although they were busy we managed to get a table. They have a great pub menu with a good selection of drinks. The food was excellent and the staff were really helpful and knowledgable about the menu. I had the battered fish burger which came with chips and side salad my wife had soup of the day with rustic bread and a bowl of chips. All of the food was exceptional with big portions so make sure you’re hungry. Also they have floured burger buns not that brioche stuff. We will be going back. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Lovely pub by the Thames. Sat outside overlooking the river. Food is really nice pub grub. The only downside was having to collect our own food from the kitchen hatch, even though we were sat on the decking just outside the back door. I get it if in the large beer garden, but some indoor tables were further away than ours!

We have just had our wedding reception here and the staff were amazing. They decorated the pub beautifully and decorated our cake and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The food was absolutely stunning and they really made our day special.
Thank you so much to Richard and his staff we had an amazing day :)

What a lovely meal to have on Boxing Day. While other pubs are shovelling you full with more roast dinner the Maybush has a perfect antidote, a true anti Christmas dinner to refresh you from the festive feasting. As always they are lovely in the Maybush-I say this as someone who goes all year round. The food was lovely and hearty going hand in hand with the cozy atmosphere. I cannot think of a better pub to eat in ,they truly prioritise their quality and quantity over all else. So if you want delicious pub food come on down to the Maybush it will not dissapoint.
