A great experience hosting an event at this venue. The team was extremely friendly, attentive, and available when needed, while remaining discreet. They were also very flexible with requests, which made the organisation smooth and easy. The location is ideal, central, warm and cosy. I would definitely recommend.
Fantastic venue for hosting my birthday! Everything was organised perfectly and the communication was great beforehand and from start to finish. On the night, the staff were amazing - super friendly and fun. The drinks were great, the food was delicious, and the space itself was lovely and perfectly matched our vibe. Absolutely no faults at all. I’d recommend this venue to anyone looking to celebrate, and I’d love to come back again. 100000/10 Thanks guys!
I booked Maxwells for my sisters surprise birthday party. The staff were super helpful, even setting up some of the decorations for us. We had our own personal bar tender who was very attentive, drinks were reasonably priced for central London, music system was good and loud. Definitely recommend.
Great venue, the general manager was fantastic and accommodated to all our needs. They gave a DJ for free who used our specific playlist (included in minimum spend) Fast and attentive.
Wonderful venue with even more wonderful staff. They were so helpful, ready to answer any questions and made sure the night went smoothly. I would use this venue again and recommend to anyone thinking of using them.
Perfect venue for our event. Great atmosphere and room. Good facilities as well - microphone and projector. Food was also very delicious. Friendly and helpful staff - they were really flexible and accomodating, they let us switch some Corona beers for a larger, and also white wine for red wine. Couldn't have had a better evening really.
The space was very good, bar staff were friendly and provided a great service (shame they were awful in the quiz). We were very happy with the whole event and would definitely consider coming back.
The team were friendly and helpful and worked hard to ensure that my mum had the surprise party of her life. The venue is kooky, excellent value and right in the heart of Covent Garden. Everyone was offered Hawaiian garlands to wear which was a lovely touch. Thanks very much!
