The Maypole A warm welcome awaits you from Vince and Leon in this friendly village pub. They are friendly and pride themselves on giving the warmest of welcomes.

We serve a great selection of real ales, as featured in the Good Beer Guide and delicious home-cooked food. Vince and Leon believe the community of the picturesque village of Thaxted deserve more from their local pub and it’s their job to give you just that. They're committed to seeking out the very best quality local (where possible) ingredients at prices that are honest and fair. They aim to be a real part of the local community and would be proud to help fund raise for local charities and can offer a function area free of charge to locals and groups.
​
The Maypole is your local, so whether you're up for a party, a spot of quizzing, catching up with friends, dining out, enjoying a Sunday roast with family or just relaxing and taking the time to unwind, The Maypole is the pub to visit in Thaxted.
​
Located in this historic and attractive market town, The Maypole is a traditional pub serving a great selection of real ales as featured in the Good Beer Guide, delicious home cooked food as well as hosting events. Check out our Events or page for forthcoming events.
​
Alongside all all the great things planned inside, The Maypole has a great courtyard garden perfect for a couple of cold beers on a summer's day, with a separate covered area for smokers.

Pop in for a drink and say hello!
