Only had one main course that is gluten free which was very greasy halloumi. The young waitress was very polite, but astonished us well told us if you have the tandoori chicken you have to have the rice served in the same dish, when it was requested to just have the curry. The waitress did her very best throughout the evening but our group of seven was left disappointed.
I've been coming here for years and I usually really like it. However, I got the stack of 3 "American Style" pancakes (£6.70) and was left incredibly disappointed. It comes with one topping and any additional toppings are £1 extra. I originally asked for the pancakes with blueberries and the woman who served us responded "just blueberries?" So I got maple syrup as well. I should've known by her reaction that the pancakes would be plain but for the price I'd expected better, some blueberry compote or at the very least, cream or even butter. If there is an option of getting just blueberries it should be a complete meal with just blueberries however if I hadn't got the maple syrup it would have been basically inedible because of how dry they would've been. The pancakes were also very thin and I'm not sure what about them made them "American style". I'm also not convinced the maple syrup was actual maple syrup. This experience aside, Maxwells itself is a nice café bar with a good atmosphere and the staff are usually pleasant.
Popped in yesterday for a bite to eat and a drink. I ordered the cheeseburger fries, and my friends ordered the salt & pepper fries. With onion rings and a cheesey flat bread as extra. The food was absolutely amazing. Good portion size, and very well presented. The beer was good, too. Will definitely be back when I'm in Clitheroe, and I would highly recommend it to anyone else.
Nice to see a vegan menu with a lot of options. The food was what you expect for a cafe. Enjoyable and ate the lot. The only thing I didn’t like was the slate it was served on. It’s a bit 2010! And all in all just awkward to navigate with the salad falling off and touching the table. The salad was nice but not cheap for what it was. The service was friendly but slow at parts. The man who served us on 25/4/23 at 3:30pm (dark hair, slim) was the star of the show and gained a star or two. He clocked out at 4pm and we felt forgotten about. It would have been miserable without him. What a legend! We will be back, but not in a rush.
Fabulous vegan menu, the food was delicious had vegan nachos, sweet potato & chick'n curry and onion bhajia baguette, mango chutney and mayo with skinny fries. Would definitely revisit. Service from Phil at front of house was excellent too.
