Bosuns Locker Cafe in Barrow-in-Furness

Well we visited this little gem of a Tea room and ordered 2 fish lunches that were perfect so fresh. The 2 pots of tea we had were awesome. I had a slice of coffee cake that was home made and really enjoyed it. The staff in this place obviously enjoy working there as it really shows as they are so friendly. If your in this area you must visit and say hi to Amie as she is trying so hard to make this new venture work They deserve the £10 tip

My partner and i had breakfast only £7 each for 2 sausage, 2 bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes , beans, 2 slices toast and egg either fried or scrambled. My partner added black pudding for 60p extra. Good quality products hot and tasty great value for money. I'd previously gone for lunch with my son and his wife on the Friday before and my daughter in law and i had home made meat and potatoe pie which came with fresh hone made chips, mushy peas, gravy and beetroot and onions in separate pots - £9 - all absolutely lovely. My son had lamb shank with mash and mixed fresh veg in a red wine sauce - £12 - he thoroughly enjoyed it. Sad news is it's closing mid March due to the horrendous rent that the landlord is charging 😔 totally bad news for this area as it is a very popular eating place and the staff are great.

Friendly, Good Food, Value For Money, Dog Friendly Always a good visit, great food, friendly staff and plenty of smiles

Very busy place we called in for some lunch very good special board with lots to choose from they also do a separate gluten free menu friendly staff who are all young and doing a good job food was very well priced and tasty chips were lovely little disappointed out take could of done with a wipe over from last customer I did ask but it was not done. Would we come back yes we would burger and chips £6.50 that’s impressive I would advise booking a table enjoy

Lovely little place fantastic food lovely staff excellent value for money Will definitely visit again when in the area

Third time we have eaten here and it was delicious 😋. Great food generous portions, good service. A real gem of a find. My husband and I had scampi with homemade chips, peas AND a lovely fresh salad. Also one son had lamb shank with chips and veg and elder son enjoyed burger 🍔.

Wow this is a hidden gem. It's like a tardis inside! Full menus, specials, snacks. What a find. Packed out. Staff brilliant

My friend and went in here after walking along the coast from Barrow. It was very busy and we were asked if we had booked as all tables had been reserved. We didn’t but the girls managed to get us a table anyway. So glad they did as we were cold and in need of a hot drink and there wasn’t anywhere else to go. We had the steak baguette and pulled pork wrap off the specials board. Both were amazing and had big chunky chips. Pot of tea and coffee and cost was £20. Lovely warm place. Staff are lovely. Good amazing, what more could you want. I’m would recommend booking though if it’s lunchtime Saturday as many people were turned away.

I’m due back up north next month to visit family and I’m already booking a lunch. It is home cooked great wholesome food. The meat and potato pie is for me, it gets 5 stars. Piel Island is a beautiful place to visit.

Snug good food but never sure when it’s open suggest phone first or use web site great scenery well worth a visit unique location

Booked a table. Had a tasty lunch with our Sons. Great service and tasty food. Situated in a lovely area. We have booked again.

This is a truly great little place we found at the end of a causeway in Roa Island, Nr Barrow. Their menus are quite varied serving delicious home made food. They are very busy during their opening hours and when we visited it was packed. At the front is a separate takeaway menu area, where they provide seating while you wait for your snacks or multi flavoured ice creams you can order.

Had a lovely jacket potato with cheese that came with side salad and coleslaw. Nice menu to choose from. Nice Toilets too and friendly staff. Couldn't fault it. Lovely location near the ferry to Piel island. Free Car park nearby and public toilets.

Gorgeous food friendly staff an sea veiw. What more could you ask for. Thanks for fitting us in at short notice it was really appreciated. Will book again soon as. X :)

A little Gem …. We weren’t really looking for food (just hot drinks) but as it was raining we thought we’d hunker down for a while. The ham, egg and chips were amazing (the best my partner has had in a long time) and the staff were really friendly and efficient. If you find yourselves on Roa Island I can definitely recommend!

Rang to book a table. The person who answered said the'd be right back...I assumed they were busy! Well I waited,waited and waited...life was ticking away. I must have waited 15-20 mins. I was growing a visible beard by this stage. I then decided I could be fed and watered elsewhere. I do hope they replace the receiver sometime or they may struggle with telephone orders. The food is probably delicious, but I shall never know?

Quite possibly the best cafe breakfast I have ever had. Tasty, quality ingredients, quick friendly service at a good price. And a beer to go along with it. Really really good

Myself and my dad decided have lunch their when it’s really windy and chilly. The staff was helpful and friendly with good customer services. The chips was lovely and homemade in my life that my dad had. The jacket potato with beans was lovely I...

Came today and the service was amazing and the soup was lovely and a amazing size soup also probably the best soup I've ever had I'll definitely be back.

Have been to this little cafe several times now and have never been disappointed. The pies are delicious plenty of filling and excellent portions. Good accompanying vegetables . So full we had to take the cakes away. Good quality reasonable priced food.

Had a lovely homemade meat and potato pie with chips and gravy the staff were friendly my first time trying it. Would recommend this cafe to others with no hesitation

A good selection of icecreams and a good price. Lovely views over to Piel island. Parking on the road and always very busy. A cafe area both inside and outside if eating.

We ordered a buffet for approximately 20 people for a family birthday celebration at home. Collection was straight forward . The food was all very fresh and tasty. The sandwich platters were lovely with lots of different fillings. The most popular things were the cheeses...

They make delicious homemade food. I ordered the meat and potato pie with chips and peas followed by chocolate sponge and custard, everything was top notch, very delicious! Friendly staff too. Would highly recommend.

Homemade, fresh, excellent flavours of food!! Huge servings as well. Not pricey and worth the trip!!! Friendly & accomodating staff.

Excellent service excellent home cooked quality food good quantity. Small place so need to book to avoid disappointment. Been several times and will be back again. The waitress was so good with the kids .

Found by accident, but booking recommended as this is a truly popular place, with locals and visitors. Exceptional value, portion size, friendliness and value for money! Great veggie options, a varied specials board plus alcohol served too.

We called in to Bosun’s Locker before catching the Piel Island ferry and were very glad we did. What a lovely cafe! The menu was more varied than you would expect for a place this size, all our food was absolutely delicious. I had the...

Had a takeaway afternoon tea this afternoon, it was lovely and very good value for money, we will definitely have another one. I have also been here for lunch, very good home cooked food and friendly staff

We stayed in Roa Island in the house next door and visited the Bosuns Locker on the Friday morning we left, for breakfast; we reserved a table on late notice as there’s 14 of us and we’re notoriously difficult to seat! The food was really...

Very bad all asda special food can cook it at home cheaper and nicer, staff rude. Worse place ever, treat staff very bad

Good service, good food and warm pleasant atmosphere. The cafe has a good menu with a good variety in each section.

Friendly busy restaurant serving delicious & filling meals. Great find & will be sure to return. Ps reserve in advance by calling ahead. We were lucky.

¡Definitivamente llame para reservar una mesa con anticipación! ! ! Decidimos una fecha de almuerzo y llamamos antes de ver si la disponibilidad, como he oído, se llena mucho, me alegro de haberlo hecho ya que estaba agitado.Y no es de extrañar, comida deliciosa y precios fabulosos también. Mi esposo tenía inglés completo por solo 5. 50 y tuve camarones en macetas, ambos tuvimos un pastel también y una bebida caliente cada uno, todo por poco más de 20, vale la pena.La única crítica es que todas las mesas están muy juntas, desafortunadamente no hay espacio para una silla de ruedas o un cochecito.Pero, como nuestra primera visita, definitivamente volveremos.

A handy place to visit while waiting for the ferry to Piel Island or on your return and a nice to watch boats coming in and out of the harbour life boat station to visit or old custom house something for all

Visité para almorzar, especialmente el personal de Fawn fue alegre y servicial, nada era demasiado problema incluso cuando cambié de opinión en el último segundo. Todos disfrutamos nuestra comida, excepto uno, no estaba convencido de que recibió lo que pidió (pollo tikka masala) parecía más dulce y agrio, eso fue lo único que decepcionó nuestra visita. Como siempre, estaba ocupado, así que aconsejaría a cualquiera que reserve previamente una mesa para evitar decepciones.

We went to the Bosun's locker for afternoon tea, just for a treat, what a treat it was too! Freshly made sandwiches, with salad and crisps, yummy freshly made cakes and scones too, and choice of tea or coffee, vegetarian option available (which I had) all served with smiles from friendly staff. I'm not a big eater and couldn't manage everything, so the waiting staff kindly boxed it up for Me to take home. All for £8 per person! (Win win) ;)

lovely, home made food with very friendly staff . great location, right on the beach. Usually quite busy, so book ahead!

Lovely people and service. Plenty of parking close by, with views of the sea. What more could you want?

Think I already reviewed this place. The food was excellent and great value for money. Would definately recommend it

I can understand why this place is always booked up on a sunny day, it's cheap and cheerful and the food is good! It's not exactly gourmet cuisine but it's good homecooked food, the portions are generous and it's quite inexpensive! I wish the specials menu would update more often, and the pie crust is often soft like it's been reheated in the microwave but other than that I've no complaints! Definitely a place to go if you're having a nice lunch treat

Popped in here for a hot chocolate and toasted tea cake, both of which were lovely! Friendly service and reasonable prices. It can get quite crowded at times though as it is only fairly small.

Great breakfast and service with large family group. Opportunity to dine inside or out and great ice cream selection for the children. Variety of main meal options more often seen at larger establishments - Lamb Shank just fell off the bone. We recommend this establishment.

Excellent food and service for the price. Large varied menu of typically English food.would recommend booking as always full.basic food well cooked and good sized portions no frills kind of place.

Food, atmosphere and value for money all very good. Good selection of home cooked meals served by friendly staff.

Great ice cream. Good food. Very busy. Great location. Have a meal before getting the ferry over to Piel

lovely fresh home made food great value for money plus a nice selection and great service .but would advice to book

Came here as I was staying in roa island & some people had put up good reviews. I ordered some chips & took them back to where I was staying which is walking distance from the restaurant, well....the chips looked stunk so bad & was soggy as if they were the last chips scrapped from the bottom of the pan! We threw the chips away & decided from that we were not going to buy & eat anything more from there again.

Fui por un helado, había una persona en la cola delante de mí y luego, después de irse, la mujer que estaba sirviendo me ignoró, entró por la parte de atrás y comenzó a lavar ollas. Esperó varios minutos (no había ninguna campana ni nada para llamar su atención), luego salió otro miembro del personal, que luego pidió a la primera mujer que me sirviera. Lo hizo pero no se había secado las manos después de lavar las ollas, así que conseguí un helado helado. . . . No me impresionó en absoluto.

Nos topamos con este café en nuestro camino a través de Barrow-on-Furness, ¡y quedamos realmente satisfechos con nuestro descubrimiento! El amable y servicial personal, la deliciosa comida, ¡y una gran variedad para elegir! Era un día cálido y soleado cuando visitamos y nos sentamos en el pequeño patio trasero y realmente disfrutamos de nuestro almuerzo. Un precio muy razonable también! ¡Mi esposo dijo que conduciría bastante tiempo solo por el helado! ¡Recomendaría!

Si vienes a la isla de Roa, asegúrate de no haber comido primero. . . Asegúrate de reservar: nos presentamos a las 12: 05 para el almuerzo y las mesas estaban casi llenas.

Very friendly, accommodating staff and excellent, good value food. Best to book in advance, if you can.

Sono andata in questo ristorante l'anno scorso, e mi sono trovata veramente bene dato che il locale è vicinissimo al porto e quindi si può anche fare una passeggiata sul mare, e in più i piatti erano buonissimi, abbondanti, e a prezzo moderato. Spero vivamente di tornare, lo consiglio!

Este restaurante está un poco alejado, pero merece la pena visitarlo. Es un lugar pequeño y acogedor con comida recién preparada y deliciosa; pero siendo pequeño es recomendable reservar mesa. Sin duda, tenemos la intención de hacer visitas frecuentes a este, nuestro destino favorito para el almuerzo. . . . .

Went on Tuesday what a brilliant, varied menu. Friendly staff, HOT food, and a cosy warm place. Well recommended. Would pre book through. Sorry no pics no phone.

Only just discovered this place after hearing good things. Turned up without booking and was lucky enough to get a table - a very popular spot for lunch it seems. Soon understood why. Fresh food, generous portions, efficient service and great prices.

This is our first visit of the year to this cafe and we found it to be just as good as on previous visits. W e sat in the yard behind the cafe in the brilliant sunshine and were the only ones in there at about 1 30 but were joined by a few other people in a very short time. They have a specials board as well as a very extensive menu. We chose paninies which each came with a lovely salad in a bowl and a small bowl of crisps along with a dish of coleslaw and dressing. All the food is freshly made so a short wait is sometimes possible but well worth the wait. It is good value and brill food staff are lovely too! MOre than well worth a visit!

We cycled out to roa island for brunch, eventually deciding on a large homemade soup. This was the freshest, tastiest soup I have had in ages. Filled a hole and was very reasonably priced. See you again next week 🤣

Always top food what ever you order always made to order so might have to wait for being cooked , but time soon passes as you always knows someone when you are in to talk to .Will be back soon.

I love this place. The staff are always friendly and helpful. It’s a very busy cafe and so it should be! The food is all homemade and delicious, the portions are huge but so tasty you can’t leave them but if you can’t manage to the staff are happy to box it up for you. The afternoon tea is out of this world! Who says you have to have fancy plates filled with nothing? Served on a plate full of sandwiches and salad and crisps. The the sweet plate arrives it’s amazing! The lamb shank was cooked to perfection the devilled kidney was delicious. The salad is huge!

Went here to celebrate our Mum’s 89th Birthday (4 of us). We had the afternoon tea which was delicious and value for money £7.75. The staff were brilliant and even sang ‘happy birthday ‘. Gave us boxes to take cakes home in. Would highly recommend.

So rare to find this kind of place let alone one which does it so wonderfully well. To start with just look at the range of food, then check out the amazing prices and the generous portions - all the dishes seem to have come from my mum's Good Housekeeping Cookbook and are done just as well as she did them. WEewere lucky enough to be sitting outside on the warmest February afternoon tucking into a fantastic chicken, leek & tarragon pie with plenty of proper veg whilst my wife did her best to finish a huge steak and onion baguette before joining the never ending queue for fantastic ice creams to finish. Piggy time all around but sooooo worth it. Fully deserves every word of praise - loved the whole place.

Top quality food. Always fresh and tasty. Staff are so friendly and service is quick. Recommend this caffe for any occasion. Lovely coffee also.

Don't quite get the fascination people have with this place. Popped in for a snack and drink, whilst there was nothing particularly wrong with the quality it didn't stand out to me and the service is patchy. On both my visits in the last year I've waited at the counter to pay and staff just come and go without acknowledging that you're there until they've finished their other jobs

Stopped for lunch Sunday 27th Jan, I opted for Sausage and Bacon Baguette, and the wife went for one of the Baked Spuds, both excellent, well priced, friendly staff. Nice little cafe fully deserving of its high rating on Trip Advisor

Rang to reserve a table, which I recommend for this busy little cafe. Very good menu , covers everyone’s taste. Food and service was excellent and the coffee very good. The only complaint was not the cafes fault but inconsiderate customers, on a cold windy day only one person bothered the close the door properly

My partner and I had lunch here today 19/1/19.

Stopped in here for lunch while showing visiting relatives the area. We were lucky to get a table as it was packed (always a good sign). The choice of food was extensive, freshly cooked to order and extremely tasty and of good quality. We would recommend this little gem and definitely return hen in the area.

Arrived on a sunday morning and it was already filling up. Plenty of choice on the menu. Staff were friendly and helpful, the food arrived and it was hot and very delicious.

Love this place, food is so good and well priced. Food for all tastes and prices. If u like something really tasty and good, try their home made chips and egg they are to die for. Well worth a visit to this place.

Good value lunch in the cafe, with friendly service and plenty of time to catch up with family and friends. Not rushed, so a nice relaxing meal.

Been a few times & always been happy . it can get quite busy around lunch times & could do with a bit more space between the tables . Home cooked chips are lovely & plenty to choose from the menu & specials board. Only bottled beers on offer . Nice beer garden when the weather is good.

We had lunch today 1/12 our first visit to bosuns locker and won’t be our last. I had pie chips & peas this came with a jug of gravy and small dishes of onions and beetroot my partner had lasagne with chips & salad. Both meals were fresh and tasty the chips were excellent. The menu is good lots of choice plus they have a specials board. We had a pot of tea and a soft drink plus took 2 home made cakes home -£21 in total not bad for the quality of the food. The 2 young waitresses that served us were polite and helpful. I can understand why it gets busy and we were lucky to get a table without booking.

Acabo de regresar de una visita a Bosuns Locker. Visito con bastante frecuencia y siempre he estado más que contento con la comida, el servicio y el amable personal. Hoy el hombre que tomó nuestra orden fue muy grosero. Pedimos el desayuno todo el día. Le dije al camarero uno sin frijoles por favor. Mi hija dijo que podría haber huevos revueltos. Parecía un poco perplejo, así que dije que los huevos revueltos son para el que no tiene frijoles. Se puso un dedo en los labios y, de repente, me dio la oportunidad de escribirlo. Dije perdón y esperé a que él terminara. Luego me dio una conferencia sobre cómo tenía una serie de preguntas que hacer y no le estaba dando la oportunidad. Me disculpé de nuevo, pero él continuó diciendo que no le había dado una oportunidad. Le pregunté a mi hija si quería quedarse y ella dijo que no. Dijo que vas y yo dije que sí porque eres muy grosero. Dijo lo suficientemente justo. Cuando nos íbamos, lo vi mientras hablaba con una miembro del personal de la señora que nos echó un buen vistazo y se echó a reír. Repetí que él es simplemente grosero y se fue. He leído críticas sobre el personal grosero aquí, pero nunca lo había experimentado antes. Estoy muy decepcionada con el tratamiento que recibimos hoy. Vivimos muy cerca de Bosuns Locker y siempre ha sido un buen regalo ir allí.

Vivo a un corto paseo del Armario de Bosun y he visitado con frecuencia. La visita de hoy fue una desgracia! Yo y mi mamá estábamos sentados y nos fuimos a mirar el menú.

Este es un lugar encantador justo al lado de la costa. Se ve mejor por dentro que por fuera. Menú variado, personal realmente amable y servicial y excelente comida a precios bajos. Buen ambiente náutico. Teníamos el cordero (tabla de especialidades) para 7. 50! Carne tierna, salsa de menta encantadora y bonitas patatas fritas y verduras. Volveremos en cualquier momento que estemos cerca de la carretilla.

Encontré esta pequeña joya remota en un día frío, húmedo y ventoso durante las vacaciones. Parece bastante simple en el exterior, pero mi bondad es lo que se deleita en contemplar una vez dentro. Rústico pero hogareño, con un extenso menú y un "tablero especial". La comida casera venía con porciones generosas y todo tenía un precio muy razonable. La comida tradicional reconfortante fue muy bienvenida y nos quedamos con una gran variedad de entrantes, sopas, mariscos, platos principales, pudines, helados, chocolate caliente, bebidas alcohólicas e incluso té por la tarde. Todo fue hecho en casa, recién cocinado y servido con prontitud. El personal era amable y educado. Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar y solo desearía haber vivido más cerca.

LOVE LOVE LOVE ser llevado aquí, es nuestro lugar ideal para ocasiones especiales o simplemente para preparar una crema o un refrigerio rápido, un té por la tarde o una fabulosa comida casera. Toda la comida es deliciosa y un precio muy razonable. Los pasteles son caseros y bocados de delicias. Hay una gran variedad de bebidas, varios tés, cafés, chocolate caliente con o sin las obras y vimto caliente, horlicks, batidos, bovril y los modernos zumos, calabazas y bebidas gaseosas.

Café amable, limpio, limpio y muy popular. Tuvimos la suerte de conseguir una mesa y después de ver toda la comida servida no nos sorprendió. Ambos fuimos por el pescado y las patatas fritas. Ellos fueron increíbles. El bacalao era tan fresco que se sentía como si alguien lo hubiera atrapado. Las patatas fritas eran fichas adecuadas, caseras y maravillosas.

Visited a year ago and that was good but Bosuns Locker have upped their game.

A day out down the causeway brought us to Bosuns Locker Cafe, we were greeted with a friendly smile, had not booked but many tables were, a very good sign.

This is a popular place, clean and inviting a maritime theme, we booked for lunch which turned out to be a good idea. The service was very good and the staff very friendly. We were early which was no issue we were shown to our table and had a drink, the menu is quite substantial with something for everyone.

Cod and chips from the takeaway absolutely delicious. Chips crispy. Fish lovely. We had to wait for quite a while but worth every minute

We were off to Piel Island and stopped at Roa for lunch. Roa has free parking and this place is a walk away from the jetty for the little boat to Piel. The Bosuns Locker was really busy when we went with some tables reserved but we squeezed onto a table for 2. There is a good menu of basics with some great specials too - local shrimps, fish cakes, salads, chips, sandwiches etc. I had the Thai fishcakes with sweet chilli dip, chips and salad and it was huge!! Great salad, too, and some proper good chips! My pot of tea had about 4 cups-worth in which was great. This place is casual, easy going, friendly, great straightforward food and the prices are really reasonable. This was my second visit and I will definitely be going again! (They also have English Lakes ice cream for afters which is gorgeous).

The place does not look that great but the food is good, well worth a visit. I called in for a lovely Sunday roast, you not believe how popular it is and you will have to book specially at lunchtime. Service can be very slow but most people who go in are not in a hurry. It can take up to 25-30 minutes for your food but if you are prepared to wait you will be rewarded with a good meal, good quality and lots of it.

We have been here many times and it's about time I left a review! You don't need to travel far to get this high standard of service and quality. The food is cooked to perfection and good value too.
