What PennyWheeler doesn't like about The Mayfly:
This has to be the worst restaurant experience ever, whatever you do do not visit. We went today with friends for our Christmas dinner, we waited over an hour for our starters, which were mediocre at best. Our main dinner we waited another hour and a half as did everyone else, around us at other tables there were complaints about lateness, raw food, cold food… We were going to walk out at 3pm(we arrived at 1) hoorah,...

Curious news! There is a rumor going around that The Mayfly has closed down. Is this true? If so, hopefully it will reopen soon and restore its reputation.
