About the Business

The Mayflower is named after the ship that set sail from a nearby quay in 1620, bearing the Pilgrim Fathers to America. At the time there was already a pub on this site - the Shippe - which was rebuilt in the 18th century and renamed the Spread Eagle and Crown. The pub's current name is much more recent (1957) when it was renamed in honour of its historic associations after the pub was refurbished. Captain Christopher Jones, captain of the Mayflower, moored the ship here to avoid paying mooring taxes and collected passengers before continuing the journey to Plymouth to pick up remaining passengers. Captain Jones is buried in an unmarked grave in the church across the road - he died shortly after his return from America, a little over a year after the Mayflower first sailed.

Established in 1621.
