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.

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!
