This has got to be my favourite Caffe Nero that i have ever been to, or at least one of the very few elite to date! The staff are amazing, so warm, friendly & welcoming, my drink was made to perfection, & the slice of coffee cake I had, sheer heaven, so fresh yet moist & so light. Such an atmospheric place to be, very calm, lots of clean tables to sit at, and the customers were relaxed ones, I can't wait to return as this is my 1st visit to Andover in 24yrs!

Not bad but nothing special. A little like school dinners a bit bland no frills but a little pricey for what you’re actually getting

Great ambience, nice pub. Staff were attentive. Vegetables were a bit al dente, but overall quality was 7/10. Nice touch with the apple pie inside the Yorkshire pudding.

Visited this establishment with my friend last Friday on his recommendation being a local. A lovely lady assisted us from the car as my friend has mobility issues, which was thoughtful of her. The best fish'n'chips I've ever had the pleasure of eating! The food is awesome here. Last time I opted for the Mac & Cheese... and that was equally delicious! Top marks to the chef!! Staff are welcoming, and it's a lovely place to spend a few hours with friends & family. Thank you. :)

Just a last minute decision to pop in for food and drink. Lovely welcome and great eye contact on arrival. We wandered round looking at variety of pictures on the many walls, while waiting for food. Were encouraged to explore and explained by Tracey about different events that take place. Overall a comfortable visit , good service, nice atmosphere and very pleasant, helped by a knowledgeable staff member Tracey . Thanks Janey

Without doubt the best roast pork dinner I have had in my 63 years on this earth. The pork just melted in your mouth. Lots of roast potatoes. Glazed carrots , parsnips , broccoli, lovely Yorkshire pudding, pigs in blankets and cauliflower cheese and gravy. So filling only had room for one pint of hobgoblin and no room for desserts which also all sounded so yummy. Lovely happy friendly staff made Sunday lunch so enjoyable. Highly recommend plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. Lots of parking including disabled spots available. Would definitely go again.

I am a regular at Costa coffee high street Andover the lady called Ella is so warm and friendly. Out of all the Costas I have been to she is the first and best staff member that makes me feel welcomed. If the boss is reading this please give her a promotion.from Tammy a regular customer 🙂

I stopped to use the EV charging point in the car park but went in to use the loo. Unfortunately it was quite late and the coffee machine had been turned off but the staff were happy to let me sit and watch the football.

Great place for supper, especially burgers were you can choose any 3 sides. As always the desserts were amazing!

I've been to a few Boswells previously and the food has been horrible. To the point that we swore we wouldn't visit another. Well, 5 years later and needing to stop somewhere to feed my 11 month old and we stopped in this Boswells. The food was so hot and tasty. The tables were clean, tidy and spacious. The service was exceptional, especially from Austin and Eleanor. These two are a credit to the company. I would try Boswells again just due to this establishment. Thank you so much 💓

The food was nice. Staff very helpful. As I am disabled the staff kindly brought my tray over to the table. The space between the tables was actually of a good size. I thought that the price was a little high. However, It is important to acknowledge the recent price increases.

Lovely garden, usually friendly staff (but not always, there's quite a high turnover, even for a bar), beer line always kept fresh. Every bit of food I've had here (on 3 occasions has been bad but for drinks it's great.

We had a lovely afternoon here. The food was wonderful, except the roast potatoes were a little underdone, but they made too many and gave us a couple of bowls for free, and they were lovely and crispy! We love the 'pick the music' machine upstairs, as well as the pool tables and darts. Pete and his team were amazing, couldn't have asked for more wonderful people.

A really lovely pub on the river with a fair bit going for it. Food is decent, but can be a bit hit and miss sometimes. Good selection of drinks available and some decent specials. Can be a little noisy sometimes, but on the whole a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The view of the river, the lovely design of the pub and the friendly service are definitely top notch.

We were served by Theo and Chloe this evening. It was busier tonight then before so food was a little longer but not to long. Again I had steak and it was cooked perfectly. So many restaurants struggle to get the perfect med/rare but yet again it was here. Between Theo and Chloe the service was quick and efficient. Both my daughters loved their meals and we will definitely come back here. Thank you both

A cheap and cheerful pub. We ordered the burger, sizzler combo as we’ve had it before in other pubs from this chain. The portion size here was a lot smaller than elsewhere. The cutlery, crockery and glasses were grubby. I stood at the bar for approximately 5 mins calling into the kitchen to get someone to serve me at the bar. No one in earshot. We sat in the window and it was cold. Next to radiators but they weren’t on. Background music would’ve been nice. A lovely afternoon catch up with friends but I don’t think we will be returning.

So I ordered the mega mixed grill which was nice although the sausages had definitely been sitting for a while, they weren't hot but edible. My steak was cooked perfectly and the gammon was really good, the chicken breast however wasn't the best that was a little chewy and no real flavour. My dessert however was excellent it was a massive glass of ice cream and cream with mixture of sweets in it and was very tasty. Would I go back..... Yes I would go back and I would try a different dish as some dishes are better than others. Overall I had a nice experience.

Lovely welcome on arrival. Food was ordered and served quickly. It was all very hot and all requests were no problem at all. We have a child with food requirements and it was not a problem at all. The only thing was we sent a steak back, although beautifully cooked we asked for medium / well done but it arrived rare. The issue was resolved very quickly so no complaints at all. Will visit again.

We had very nice mid-week meals here. The atmosphere was nice, not too busy, but not quiet or stale and the setting was all very nice, clean and tables available. We had the whitebait and sticky chicken starters, with a scampi and pie and mash for main. We were served by Lydia, who was confident, polite, knowledgeable and very attentive. She was very helpful, making our choices and decisions easy. The food was all very nice, less the mash potato, which looked like it had been sitting a while in a pot or under a heat lamp, but I was hungry and couldn't be bothered with sending it back and waiting for another meal, and my colleague was already eating too. It was a very nice visit and I'd certainly go again.

We live in North Yorkshire & travel to Andover to see our daughter & her family. The travel lodge is convenient. We chose to eat at the C.B, originally for convenience. However it’s now a part of our booking process. The food is always hot & tasty & superior to any other pub that we’ve used over the years in Andover. (I assume that you’re part of a chain, the quality says otherwise) We have had great servers. From meeting & greeting Tracy to our table server, 14/02 Lydia & 15/02 Elaine. Generally all staff are welcoming and helpful. They just look after you.😊 The food is great, the drinks menu caters for all. The prices are reasonable. All in all, a very positive experience. Definitely worth a visit & our son in law tells us the Sunday roast is great too….maybe we’ll get to sample that one day.
