A big thank you to Scott & all the team at Maxwells for making our Mother's Day so special on Sunday afternoon.
Loved the Mother's Day promotion you were running for the occasion too!
We all enjoyed a delicious meal with fabulous happy hour cocktails to wash it all down :))
We have been coming to Maxwells for years & will continue to do so thanks again x

We travel to London about 4 times a year and always make time to visit Maxwell's. As ever this visit did not disappoint. The staff are all very friendly and professional, they acknowledge you on arrival and when leaving. Their friendliness always feels genuine. We ordered 2 cocktails which were lovely, along with a steak fajita and wagyu burger which were both perfectly cooked and delicious. The price is definitely value for money. We look forward to our next visit in September when we're back in London.

Fabulous restaurant, excellent value especially for central London. The ambience is lovely and cheerful with great music but not too loud. Service was fast and portions generous. Staff were friendly and could not have been more attentive. An all around great place

Fantastic staff. Food was just ok.
Deep fried chicken tenders were not good. Oil tasted very oxidised and used.
Burgers were good. I’d love to see chips cooked in tallow and not seed oils.

Food was good but the service was poor, had to ask three people for a drink before we actually got the drink.
Not very swift with taking our order once we got the menus.
Would I return probably not

I’d booked last minute booking for 6 people on a busy Saturday afternoon as we wanted to eat before a show. Our table was 4:15 and the team were super accommodating (moved our table) as we had a guest with mobility issues, that made the initial booty tricky. Staff were very friendly but not OTT and food was fabulous. Everyone enjoyed the meal, drinks and ambiance. Family group aged 20 to 60. Well done Maxwells Team 👏👏
