The Boxwood Café

Excellent food and service!
Since the start of the pandemic all our once favourite places to eat have been disappointing at best if not downright unpleasant. Not so with the Boxwood Cafe. It`s the only place where the food has remained a consistently high standard. We`re always met with a friendly welcome and the service is prompt. On top of that it`s the only place that offers a good range of gluten free cakes that are actually appetising both to look at and to eat. Most places seem to think that those of us who are gluten free have no desire to eat anything remotely pleasant, and will be happy with something akin to oven-baked cardboard. It`s advisable to book in advance to avoid disappointment, and if I had one piece of advice to improve an otherwise perfect experience, it would be `please keep it dog free!`

We visited this cafe for the first time today, having been to Oundle's Farmer's market. I was really, really impressed by the quality of the food and the service.

Some of the best coffee I've had locally and the baked goods looked superb! My cheese scone was very good.....

Note! A lot of the tables had been reserved for lunch and the website gives a number for telephone reservations, which it would be worthwhile considering at the weekend.

A real find, this café!!! Thanks to all the staff, who despite being really busy managed to give both a welcome and do their jobs well!! 5 stars!!!

Lovely lunch here today. Friendly and efficient staff and I was given a choice of 3 vegan dishes that weren't on the menu - really accommodating. The chips were lovely too !!

We returned again to this lovely spacious cafe where you always get a lovely welcome, your dog too! We all enjoyed a delicious lunch which was presented beautifully. Once again excellent customer service. We will be back.

Cake and coffee at a local garden centre called "The Barn". Reasonable prices and nice sweet treats. Take it from a plump bloke

Superb cakes and sweet treats, along with hot cappuccino. Marvelous after a bracing walk with the dog (also provide dog biscuits too)

I'm really impressed! The friendliness of the staff is only exceeded by the quality of the food, good produce served well. Whenever I can I pop in for a coffee and a homemade cake, or something slightly more filling, it's very tempting........
