Excellent food and lovely staff Martin Robert2024-11-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maypole Restaurant is a delightful surprise. As seasoned Singapore residents, we've missed the vibrant flavors of authentic Chinese cuisine. Maypole successfully transports you back to the heart of Singapore, rekindling cherished food memories. A must-visit for anyone craving a taste of the Lion City. Matt Gosling2024-10-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My family wanted to enjoy some exceptional food together for a celebration and Ken from the Maypole went out of his way to ensure it was a success. The food was cooked beautifully and it was clear only quality ingredients had been used. We had been looking for a local restaurant for a while now where we can enjoy and rely on the food quality and looks like finally we have found our regular place. I would strongly recommend giving the Maypole of Tiptree a go.
