Birthday Party · 30 guests · June 2026

The atmosphere, the staff and the food!

The karaoke did have some technical issues, and air con could have been stronger

30th Birthday Party · 30 guests · March 2026

The night was an absolute success. The bar staff are absolutely lovely and attended to all my many questions and requests. I would 100% recommend doing your event at Maxwell’s

Because my party was on a Saturday, the place was absolutely packed. So the start of the booking there was about a 15 minute wait to get into the private area.

Pub · 25 guests · January 2026

The venue was absolutely perfect for my 30th birthday drinks! It was a good size for the 25 of us and having a private bar was great. We were also able to have a friend DJ which worked really well. Patricia and Scott were both very helpful in the run up and responsive to any questions I had, and the staff on the night were all really lovely and friendly! Thank you for a wonderful evening 😊
