Had high expectations when a friend & I visited today, menu had a good choice, lovely setting & welcoming staff. However for the price I felt underwhelmed, portions quite small, no salad on side with toasties, just watercress. Every meal seemed to contain an egg, even the burger & Caesar salad. Tea didn’t taste quality, more like a standard brand. Food was nice, but I feel for the price they are charging other local similar cafes offer a lot more. Met up with a friend to catch up, we had booked, we was sat at the back with two families both had screaming babies. Totally appreciate this is not their fault, been there myself. We didn’t say anything, not to upset the parents, but felt as there was plenty of empty tables in other parts of cafe they could have sat us elsewhere. Won’t be rushing back anytime soon.

Popped in for a spot of lunch today, and we weren’t disappointed. Food delicious, staff very efficient and friendly. So much choice I couldn’t make my mind up. I had the chicken teriyaki, which was beautifully presented and the avocado was a nice touch which complimented the chicken and rice. Would defo recommend to friends and family and will visit again.

I have been having a look at some of the more recent reviews here and I am at a loss to understand them. I came here last Saturday (17 August) with my daughter and we both really enjoyed it. I had the chicken and bacon toastie and my daughter had the chicken shawarma. Both were obviously freshly cooked and tasted great. Our waitress was lovely, the wine was lovely, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

This place has the potential to be amazing but sadly it just isn’t. We continually try to support local businesses, and have been coming since it first opened. We have eaten from the various menus, tried the drinks nights, tapas nights and have also spent New Year’s Eve here and sadly each and every time we feel majorly underwhelmed. Hence why I know feel is the right time to review. As many others have commented, the staff are at best, uninterested, and at worst, rude. There is certainly no “service with a smile”and each and every staff member always seems like they’d rather be elsewhere. As an example, drinks were delivered on a tray to one end of the table for us to distribute ourselves and when bottles of wine have been ordered, each and every glass (even the first one) has been poured ourselves, without even the offer to do it or to top up when required. The food, in my opinion, is overpriced for what it is - bland, boring and unimaginative. When The Pantry first opened the chef was incredible, the specials were great and all the food on the menu was freshly cooked to a high standard but it has continually gone down hill ever since. The location of this place is great, walking distance for lots of new houses, but sadly the whole atmosphere lets it down. In the multiple times we have been here, I have never felt like a “valued customer”. If the food isn’t great and the service isn’t great, what is there to come back for?

Just turned up as we didn't know we had to book, we were a family of 5. Man on reception was quite rude, when we asked for a table for 5, we were told " I can't do 5 of you, only 4" were we supposed to leave one of us out. I won't return, customer service was terrible and upsetting

The breakfast is overpriced and poor quality. The service staff are polite but stand offish. The male host or manager has been rude on every occasion I've visited. Which is extremely unwelcoming and such a put off. The breakfast arrived luke-warm, I feel you could rustle a better one up at home. The vanilla latte was so sweet that it was sickly. For the price of the meals and drinks it's expensive for poor quality. I wouldn't return based on that and the rude host.

Met friends for lunch , Saturday 1pm, restaurant busy but not crowded. The service and atmosphere always good at Maxy Farm, and Saturday was no exception . Each time I visit I enjoy the KFC Chicken Burger, I was really pleased that it was back on the menu. However my Chicken had been cremated and this dish is so good due to the flavour of the coating . However it was burnt dry and over cooked , drying up badly. Real shame as three of the four at the table, had this meal. I would mention on six / seven visits this is the first disapointment.

Lovely food here always and nice atmosphere- cute outdoor area to sit outside when it’s sunny too! Visited here multiple times as local to myself. However, the prices are not friendly! We stopped by on a walk one day - ordered a hot chocolate and a coffee (small) and costed us about £13!!! I must say, albeit nice food it is nothing special and the portion sizes definitely used to be a lot larger when they first opened.

We came for tapas and prosecco evening. Overall it didn’t disappoint. Just a few small things which let it down. The staff were friendly and the service was great. The tapas menu was also varied with a good selection. The meat and cheese sharing board was excellent. This to start with some pink prosecco was lovely. We then began ordering a few tapas dishes at a time which were are so tasty and fresh. The Korean chicken bites were amazing. The dishes that let it down for us were the lamb koftas and the Thai green curry prawns. That lamb was far too chewing and the overall taste and seasoning was not great. The yoghurt and mint dressing was also not very nice. We left half of this dish. The Thai green curry prawns were not good at all. Tasteless prawns in a watery 🌶️ 🌶️ soup which was NOT the level of heat and flavour of a Thai curry. Could not taste prawn at all. The bread it came with was also left as it wasn’t very nice. What a disappointment to a so far wonderful evening. This is where we left the night. We must say though that we will return to enjoy the dishes and prosecco that we enjoyed to that point.

Visited Maxy farm on New Year’s Eve for a family breakfast It’s been around 6 months since our last visit and can not quite believe the drop in standards. We ordered large breakfast and was so disappointed to the point I sent mine back as it was literally freezing cold and looked like it had been cooked yesterday , when it was returned to me it had been warmed up to the point being like rubber absolutely awful.Maxy used to use quality produce not any more poor quality meat,black pudding and hash browns . It’s such a shame as this place used to be amazing but obviously cutting costs but this will lead to losing customers if reading other reviews are to go by 😢 Please get back to using quality produce and cooking items fresh to order

Went for lunch with a friend who is vegetarian. The menu is limited anyway and more so for a vegetarian but when we were seated we weren't told certain items weren't available until we came to order. This is a pet hate of mine as you've set your mind on what you want to eat. Please tell your customers at the start what isn't available. A small vegetarian selection became smaller

First and last time we will call into Maxy Farm Staff pleasant and helpful….Tapas not very good at all. All dishes served at once so the table was overflowing with plates and food which very quickly became cold. The place is struggling for an identity and on tonight’s evidence it has along way to go.

Mixed views on our visit. My big breakfast was very nice and plentiful, but my wife's chicken Katsu was tasteless and the fries, being thin went cold quite quickly. The place itself was nice but lacked any warmth. The waitress was polite and engaging, from Brazil I believe. Will probably not be returning, sorry.

Fantastic bunch at Maxy Farm Pantry and Restaurant for a party of 8 family members. The food (mixture of brunch items from full English to avocado and poached eggs) were delicious and all arrived at the same time. It was perfectly cooked and temptingly presented. We asked for hot drinks to be brought at the same time as the brunch items - delivered!! The service was just perfect - friendly, attentive, efficient. The area where we were seated had a lovely vibe. All round, a great experience. Well done and thank you!!

We used to love this place and haven’t been for a while so we were looking forward to a good breakfast. I can honestly say it was very disappointing, we both had the big breakfast and it was nowhere near as good as it used to be. It all tasted like it had been sat there all morning. Just dry and hard. I love good scrambled egg but it was like rubber. No idea what had happened to the black pudding, it was rock hard. I really begrudged paying the bill to be honest! We won’t be returning any time soon, if at all.

Disappointing food for tapas night, shame as we were looking forward to it. food came out very quick which is always concerning, suggesting it’s reheated. The food was tasteless, that could just be personal preference though. Table of 4 and we were all disappointed. Great deal on half price Prosecco on a Friday, that was good! We felt that the team on were inattentive. Table too small for a tapas night, felt very squashed and boxed in. Would recommend staggering dishes coming out to avoid this. The night felt very rushed due to how quick the food comes out, difficult to chill when battling with table space and having to put drinks on the side of the window to create space. I can see there are defensive and passive aggressive responses on reviews below, shame that feedback is listened to. I noticed last night was much quieter than usual, there is a clear reason for this. We didn’t raise this with anyone when there for our own personal reasons and circumstances of the night.

Booked table and arrived on time to be seated and told its only the roast menu with it being Sunday... 3 choices of meat ..... not liking any of them really I chose sliced beef. It put up one hell of a fight, it was so chewy it was almost inedible ! My Yorkshire pudding looked more like a pancake . You have one choice of Lager served with a bad attitude. I asked for a bitter, which was obviously the wrong choice as the waitress was very abrupt. Almost rude.... no one came over during the meal to ask if everything was OK or if anyone would like another drink. Desert was a joke, sticky toffee pudding, stone cold with the coldest lumpiest custard ever.. mentioned to staff who took it away to b sorted.... 20 minutes for it to return as hot as molten metal... ridiculously hot, inedible initially... after almost £100 bill we left without so much as a thank you from the staff..... never again and will let as many people as possible not to go either ..... disgusted !!!!!

We have been to maxy farm a few times before and have really loved the food. I get the same thing each time, the avocado toast with added halloumi. I’m wondering whether it has changed hands though, it was very different today, for one I received halloumi sticks similar to what you can get out the freezer aisle. They were rock hard and felt like they had quickly been defrosted. I’m sure I usually get proper halloumi, which realistically is what I should have received otherwise it should state halloumi sticks on the menu. The other components also felt very shop bought eg salsa, guacamole, usually it feels very homemade. And the bread was stale I think. I’m hoping it was just a bad day and not cost cutting measures as we usually love maxy farm and would be gutted if this is going to be the standard quality from now on, as you pay top prices so it wouldn’t be worth it to us to come back.

Disappointed!! Warning to be careful if you alter an item on a dish! Asked for Eggs Benedict today but instead of 2 eggs could I substitute one egg for a piece of bacon instead? The dish came 1 egg, 1 piece of bacon and only HALF a muffin (never asked for half a muffin) I was still charged full price of £9.50 for this! The member of staff said they had no way of altering it on the till!! Therefore I will be altering where I choose to come for brunch. I will be choosing a place where customer service comes first and half portions reflected in the price.

We first visited for brunch. We ordered quickly and our food was brought out within minutes which is always worrying. We hadn’t even received our drinks for which the manager apologised for. The food was ok but had obviously been sat for a while as there was a skin on the baked beans. The second time I went, I took a friend there for Sunday lunch. I had starved myself all day ready for the feast!! We sat outside after letting the staff know we had arrived. Unfortunately no one came to take a drinks order so my friend had to go inside to request some drinks. We both ordered roast beef Sunday lunch. When it arrived it looked delicious but unfortunately it was stone cold with warm gravy poured over it. We were warned the plates were very hot but they were stone cold too. It was the worst Sunday lunch ever!! The meat was super tough, the roasties were rock hard and the Yorkshire pudding was soggy swilling in cold fat. A waitress came out to check we were ok so I told her the meal was bad and we couldn’t eat it. She offered us a fresh plate of food but we were doubtful it was going to be any better. She said she would discount our bill. Upon receiving the bill we were shocked to see they had knocked just £3.50 off each meal which cost £17 each! £3.50 off a meal that was inedible?? Unfortunately I had to endure another visit as another friend booked for us to go for brunch. I decided against ordering food but opted for a smoothie. It was nice but warm so I had to ask for extra ice. My friend had eggs Benedict which looked beautiful but she was unable to cut through the bagel it was so stale. Upon complaining the waiter just said he would pass our comments on. Not really good enough in my opinion. The food needs to be cooked to order and the staff need better training. Such a shame as it’s a lovely venue.

Our Sunday lunch experience was very good overall. We had some initial issues with the temperature of our food, plates that felt like they had been freshly retrieved from the core of the Sun with food that was tepid and barely hot. The team quickly took away the food of those affected and replaced it with fresh plates with food that was much hotter. The Sunday lunches here are very good and a notable step up from local pub carveries. Overall our visit was very good indeed! Well worth a visit if you’re looking for a Sunday lunch venue.

We went to the Pantry today for lunch. A family of three, husband, wife and two year old daughter. My food and my wife’s was beautiful. I had the KFC burger and my wife had the Watermelon and Feta salad. Both were excellent. Our little girls meal was perfect for a toddler. She had little quesadillas with baked beans, which she absolutely loved.The staff fully understood the needs of a toddler, brought her food first as we asked, cleaned the table promptly and brought her a special little ice cream. They way the staff spoke to her made her feel really special and in turn made us feel very special.The place has been redecorated and looks great. Bathrooms are nice and we are in a conservatory area, in beautiful sunshine. It was really nice.It was the anniversary of when we got engaged and while we never mentioned this, we felt like we were treated like it was a special occasion. In short great food, great staff and very toddler friendly.

I was looking forward to visiting particularly as the refurb looked nice and I was hoping it was better than my last visit. We were really underwhelmed unfortunately, the mezzanine level was nice but meant you were out of sight so the service wasn’t great. The food was average as the shawarma was really just the blandest, dry, unseasoned, shredded chicken I’ve ever had on a flatbread with a HUGE pile of salad on top.Shawarma is full of flavour and spices and cooked slowly on a rotisserie. We sat with dirty plates for ages while a male employee sat down and flirted with two young female diners. We couldn’t get anyone’s attention to ask for our bill so we made our way out. Last visit from me I’m afraid.

Booked a table for 2 at 3:15, it was quiet and they were open until 6 so we thought we would be able to enjoy some food and a few cocktails over a nice catch up. The food was great and the service was quick. However, the staff were utterly miserable! The women who showed us to our table (I believe a member of management) clearly couldn’t care less. Our server at the table was okay, but lacked any enthusiasm. We were told last orders for drinks were at 4:30 and were asked to pay the bill at this point too. When I asked what time they closed we were told 6 so I ordered another drink thinking we had plenty of time. Then at 5 we were asked to leave as they were closing!!!Just felt rushed and for the price we paid, I expected better!Such a shame as I live on the estate next to the pantry and this could have become my new place to meet friends!

Driven past this place loads of times but never really took much notice until my son “found it “ on the internet and it comes highly recommended in the main. First things first, we got the last available table so I’d advise you to book ahead on their side which is very easy to use. We chose eggs benedict and avocado on toast and two coffees. Having just been refurbished the place was immaculate and very tastefully done. The staff were attentive and discrete with just the right amount of attention. Food,drinks,service etc were all very good. I’d go again.

We recently returned to Maxy Farm following the refurbishment. Previously we had stopped going due to the poor service. The refurbishment if fantastic, a really great environment and the service is so much better, the staff are friendly and it was great to chat to the new manager. Only disappointment today, couldn’t get a smoothie as they had run out of ingredients so ordered a Pepsi for our son which was £3 for a small glass. With those prices not somewhere you can afford to visit very often.

Latte was cold, fries just tasted of oil and the price is ridiculous for the lack of customer service.

Went recently for the first time. The venue is nice and staff were friendly but the choice for food is limited and the prices are eye watering. Got a couple of coffees which were nice enough, if a little cold. Considered getting a breakfast but couldn’t justify the cost especially when there was an extra charge for the vegetarian option.

Usually love coming here but was horrendous today. Table next to us was shouting loudly top of their voices. When asked if they could be quiet we were told no as they are staff at their other restaurant. Other people asked to move table. Sadly ruined my evening to the point o didn’t even eat my main. Asked if I could have it to take out shocking that they prioritise their staff over customers. Won’t be back for a while just think it’s ridiculous how loud people are without any consideration for others.
