Originally a part of Dawson’s Department Store, Maxwell’s Café Bar was completed in 2002 and has since enjoyed success as a popular venue for locals and tourists alike.
Since opening, Maxwells has expanded to include a heated outdoor seating area and an open-air roof terrace, providing customers the opportunity to make the most of the summer months.
Here at Maxwells we strive to provide a relaxed, friendly atmosphere complemented by fine wines, great food and excellent service.
It was great to have somewhere with outdoor seating, with overhead cover and some heating to meet up with friends. Extensive menu. I don’t think the food is outstanding, however… read more it’s reasonably priced and everyone enjoyed what they had. It was a great place for meeting up in the current circumstances.
Value for money? – Hello

The price was a stinging £8:50 if memory serves me well as went halfs with friend.
Very disappointed with portions not the service.

Our first visit to eat at Maxwells. Frei dog welcome and quick to show us to our table. Good choice on the menu.
We ordered our drinks and not… read more too long after our food arrived. I had the Steak Melt, with was very tasty and the wife had Pulled Pork loaded fries, now that was a plate full, it could have fed both of us and it was really tasty.
Not too pricey and well worth a visit.

Visited one sunny lunch time with limited time of only an hour. Greatest with a smile and shown to a table on the roof terrace. Ordered drinks immediately and as… read more they came a few minutes later ordered food. I have to say as someone with coeliac disease this place is amazing. So much choice. I have the chicken club sandwich on gluten free bread and it was amazing. Best sandwich I’ve had out and about for a long time. Service was really quick which meant myself and my partner were in and out within the hour, even had time for a quick look in Dawsons next door. A very well run establishment and would highly recommend.
We stopped here for lunch. Parner had eggs royale and I just had sausage on toast with tea and coffee. We found the place nice and cosy and welcoming. The… read more staff were lovely and friendly and efficient. The food was basic but very nice, reasonably priced.
I can’t fault this place and I would definitely return. It was the busiest place we saw hence the reason we went inside. Would definitly return.

We had such a lovely time in Maxwells yesterday for our lunch. First of all it was so lovely and cool which made a huge difference as it felt comfortable… read more to sit and chat and enjoy our food on a very hot day!
The staff were very friendly, welcoming and attentive.
The food was delicious and we didn’t have to wait long considering it was very busy at the time.
We all felt that the prices were very reasonable too.
Couldn’t fault it and we will definitely be returning.
Thank you all!
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.
Decent – Quick and efficient service. Nice clean place. Ordered a starter and a couple of sides. Really decent.
A bit gutted that the loaded fries are no longer on the… read more menu.
