The Pantry At Maxy Farm - Preston

The breakfast at this restaurant is both overpriced and low quality. The service staff are polite but somewhat cold. The male host or manager has been consistently rude during my visits, creating a very unwelcoming atmosphere. The breakfast itself arrived lukewarm and seemed like something I could have easily made at home. The vanilla latte was excessively sweet. Considering the high prices and low quality of the food and drinks, I would not recommend returning to this place, especially with the added negative experience of the rude host.

I met friends for lunch at Maxy Farm on Saturday at 1pm. The restaurant was busy but not crowded. The service and atmosphere are always good at Maxy Farm, and Saturday was no exception. I always enjoy the KFC Chicken Burger when I visit, so I was pleased to see it back on the menu. However, I was disappointed to find that my Chicken was burnt and overcooked, causing it to dry up badly. This was a shame as three out of the four people at our table ordered the same meal. This was the first disappointment in my six or seven visits to the restaurant.

The food at this restaurant is always delicious and the atmosphere is pleasant. There is a cute outdoor area to sit in when the weather is nice. I have visited this place many times as it is local to me. However, the prices are quite high. One day, we stopped by for a walk and ordered a hot chocolate and a small coffee, which ended up costing us about £13! While the food is tasty, it is nothing extraordinary and the portion sizes have definitely decreased since 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.

Small menu choice Food arrived cold complained and new dish made Not much better, sauce still only luke warm. No atmosphere Will not be returning
