Introducing Ovation, our newly renovated restaurant at The Mayflower.
Unwind and relax as your experience begins and the intimate theatrical ambience sets the scene for a delightful evening.
The delicious menus are created by Executive Chef, Martin Packard using the very best ingredients from local suppliers and freshly cooked on the premises. With an emphasis on flavour, Ovation’s philosophy of “no compromise on quality” ensures that each mouthful will be cooked to perfection.
On the top floor of the theatre, Ovation is open Tue - Saturday:
A la carte dining is available Tue - Sat.
3 course package dining is available Fri - Sat and 2 course package dining is available Tue - Thu.
We are also open for Thursday lunch pre-matinee from 12-2pm.
