Welcome to Maxwells

No problem whatsoever; a table was found within a couple of minutes of our request. We have a rebooked a table for Septembe. We would definitely recommend Maxwells.

The roof terrace is lovely on a sunny day just to sit and watch the world go by with a glass or two. I would recommend this cafe bar.

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.

  Value for money? – Hello
I had lunch out with a friend yesterday and had thin layer of smashed advocado. with two poached eggs on x1 slice of bread..Admittedly had to have some… read more meat removed, my mistake.
The price was a stinging £8:50 if memory serves me well as went halfs with friend.

Very disappointed with portions not the service.

It’s a… read more really nice restaurant to try out with family & friends 🙂

Will definitely come here again when next in Clitheroe. Well done all!

  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.

  The outdoor seating is excellent! You could be in Paris, Rome, Milan… The food is amazing, they have great specials to keep regulars from getting bored. The staff are professional,… read more friendly and attentive. Anyone visiting Clitheroe, should pop in here.
