Welcome to Maxwells

  The food is really good and it does not cost that much 🙂
The staff is really friendly and it’s always nice to come back.
Check out the restaurant… read more 🙂

  Average dining experience – Visited the establishment on Saturday the 19th, with my partner and daughter; having booked online.

Reservation process, was great.

Really straightforward.

Upon arrival the staff… read more were super professional and our table was reserved accordingly and we were seated immediately.

This always pleases me.

My daughter was given the best crayons/sharpened coloured pencils selection and paper, we’d ever received in any restaurant; so that was fab and appreciated.

Drinks order was prompt and efficient.

Drinks were spot on.

Table staff were brilliant, polite, professional and attentive.

Food order taken without incident;

Nachos starter was great.

Daughters cheese and tomato pizza was problematic for her to eat, as the topping just slipped off the base; this theme continued with my Piri piri chicken flatbread pizza. It was absolutely sodden and just a watery mess on the plate.

It wasn’t edible, as it was simply like cheesy slim on the bread.

The mini chicken fillets on the top were cooked well; and tasted lovely.

But the flatbread pizza itself, was really bad.

Not a good day for pizzas on our table.

My partners burger was fine.

We had a side order of onion rings; these were over cooked and just crispy batter. We left the bulk of them also.

If we’d just walked in off the street and had the poor meal, we’d have chalked it up to life’s lottery, sometimes you get a good place, sometimes, not so good, but frustratingly, we’d pre booked and were looking forward to our tea’s here and were massively underwhelmed after researching and reading up on great food places to eat in Clitheroe.

I spoke to one of the staff members and she remedied the situation by knocking two lime and lemonades off our total bill.

This was slightly frustrating, when I returned nearly the entire pizza, minus the chicken bits. I’d had less than a quarter of my first pizza slice when I returned it.

If I’d been the proprietor or staff member, when a customer returns nearly their entire meal, I’d remove that from the bill, not a couple of soft drinks.

Never mind, it was still a positive acknowledgement of the problem.

My partner did have a presecco too; but the bill still came to approx £55 and it wasn’t worth that.

Food was presented beautifully, but super average in actual taste and cooking.

We’ll definitely give them a second go, as we’ve bought a property locally, so will be back again, when hopefully we’ll receive a better culinary experience.

Good atmosphere; and for drinks, you couldn’t go wrong; jury’s still out on the food though. Hopefully next time we’ll have a better dining experience.

Regards.

  Very friendly, big portions, the man with the cool beard (didn’t get his name) very good guy recommended portion sizes and made the visit even better. Really nice drinks, cocktails… read more banging and firefly atmosphere

  Good food and service – Visited with friends for lunch on a busy Sunday. Our Waitress, Lily, was very polite and efficient. The food arrived in good time and was delicious. Good food and great… read more service provided by Lily, well done!

  This was my third visit. The first time was very good. The second time, I sat in view of the kitchen. I saw a young man eating something from an… read more oven tray and wiping the food with a tea towel. I gave them the benefit of the doubt as the food was quite good and front of house staff friendly. On my third visit, I saw the a girl behind the bar clean out something from a cup with her fingers, which she then put on a tray to serve to someone. She was then scratching her hair quite a lot. I then saw her take out a new bottle of gin, she couldn’t remove the plastic from over the lid so used her teeth to remove it. I’m afraid this was the last straw so I won’t be doing back.

  Fantastic, amazing I couldn’t fault, the food was lovely and the staff are friendly. Had such a good time. Highly recommend to everyone

  I’ve been on two separate occasions recently with friends. Warm welcome, lovely cakes and great coffee.

  Lovely setting and atmosphere. Polite and friendly staff. Ferro Roche hot chocolate was gorgeous. Had steak ciabbatta and chickon goujons. Both were absolutely delicious. Service was quick. Staff on hand… read more but not hovering over you. Would definetly go again.

  In the U.K. for business and stumbled across Maxwells for breakfast before a meeting elsewhere. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, lovely foodwould highly recommend and I’ll be back!

  Decent – Quick and efficient service. Nice clean place. Ordered a starter and a couple of sides. Really decent.
