Bosun's Locker in Ceredigion

All great .. Only thing is wait.. The chap is on own at time which made hot food a while .. But we was happy with food and drinks and a nice chap ...

Nice little cafe with awesome breakfast.

A wonderful place, run by lovely people, with homemade food and Britain’s best coffee cake. Dog friendly, too.

Excellent coffee and brownie. The ice cream is tip top too

Waited half an hour for drinks in an empty cafe. After waiting 20 mins we mentioned we had a boat trip in 40 mins and would the pizza be ready we were told ‘you’ve got no chance’ by a young man. All the drinks and food were served all together after a 40 minute wait. The food was ok but I won’t be rushing back.

Went to sit in for some lunch. Food and drinks were tasty. The main issue was the service. There was only one employee taking orders, making drinks, and cooking, so everything was slow to come out. Not ideal with two toddlers. However there is baby changing facilities (including some nappies) in the toilets which is great to see in an independent business.

It’s a nice little cafe run by a friendly & helpful man who gets the orders out even though he was alone. The ciabatta’s were fine but the scones were supermarket bought & let them down, especially when they are served with Rhoddas cream, which deserves better.

We stopped here this morning for some breakfast before going on a boat trip. My daughter had the stacked pancakes and really enjoyed them. I had a bacon roll and a latte. Very nice, especially the coffee. It’s a great cafe and I thought the prices were very reasonable.

Great little cafe, superb coffee and location.

Stopped at this lovely little coffee shop after a long walk along the beach. They were near to closing but the staff welcomed us in anyway. Great coffee and well worth a visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Popped in just as they were opening and bought the best coffee! Forget every chain shop coffee you have ever had. Lovely chat with friendly staff. Worth the walk up the hill and then sat to enjoy it on a nearby bench with great views of the bay. Definitely worth a visit.

We eventually found Bosuns Locker disguised as the Coffee shop directly opposite the Black Lion. It was worth tracking down. We both had a spider crab sandwich followed by lemon and blueberry cake and barista coffee. Everything was delicious!

Fantastic coffee, which is roasted locally by the owner who is passionate about sourcing his single origin coffee. The most delicious cakes (gluten free catered for) and a good selection of snack sandwiches including local crab when in season.

Just found our new favourite coffee and cake stop. Best coffee in New Quay. Lovely café, happy service and DOG FRIENDLY (we have 3). What more can you ask for?

Just stopped by for a morning coffee, really friendly service and good quality coffee. Good covid precautions.

Great coffee and superb service also the owner takes social distancing seriously. A great experience recommend the flat white

Delicious spider crab sandwiches and great service!

Slow service today. May be a one off, a bit of a bad day, and we all have them. It was very very, very slow, to be told they lost our order! Coffee and food good however. Friendly and they sorted our issue with a free coffee. We would return despite the above.

The reviews for this cafe were exceptional so I thought I couldn’t go wrong with a lunch time panini. But for £4 each I feel ripped off. Had a tiny panini with a slither of filling, I couldn’t even taste the mustard in the beef and mustard panini. The staff were really friendly and the brownie was really good, but the sandwiches were just over priced. I have attached a picture. But it’s nothing like the pics of baguettes etc I have seen left on reviews.

Lovely little cafe that has the best chocolate almond brownie! Delicious squishiness. And great coffee to boot!

Friendly service, great coffee and a crab sandwich to die for

Snacks and great coffee, ice cream is also a treat. Cakes looked good but never got around to try....

The best coffee and brownies in Wales and we have done a lot of travelling and coffee drinking in the last few days

Every time we walked past Bosun's Locker we talked about how nice the coffee smelled and when we popped in at the end of our holiday we were not disappointed. We are a family of four and they were happy to make adjustments to their food for our children (no avocado in one sandwich and just making up a plain cheese sandwich for our youngest). And the crab sandwiches we had were delicious. When I was talking to one of the owners he said they had only had the keys a week but nothing to suggest any teething or settling in problems. He said he used to work locally roasting coffee so I guess it was no surprise that the coffee was so good. We bought a bag to bring home and are still really enjoying it now. Not much left though!!! Up until now our 8 year old had the vanilla milkshake from the beach cafe at Hummanby Gap near Filey as the best ever. The one here was as good as that he says, a solid 12 out of 10, can't say fairer than that! The owner said that when restrictions have eased they will be selling sourdough pizzas so we hope we will be back one day for that.

Friendly staff and lovely home made food and cakes were a bit nice to

Very nice food and freindly staff.will call again.

The worst Sunday lunch I have ever had. Not to be recommended.

Breakfast was good had to pay extra for tea 4pounds . Old owners captain brekkie was with tea coffee an orange juice .

Great dinner, lovely people and the cakes are fab. We waited for ages and weren't being served, and it didn't even seem that busy. A lovely cafe but service definitely lacks.

Went there for a Sunday lunch end of July and the food wasn’t the greatest, the meat was thin and just folded in half like a slice of ham, very little portions for the price you pay, compare to other places in the village. Have been here for a coffee and cake also and that was lovely but as for Sunday lunch, an improvement can be made.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, Just like you would have at home. Thank you ladies. We ate roast beef, yorkshire pudding, swede, roast potatoes, gravy, creamed leeks. Yum! mouth watering as I write this. This place was lovely and did not seem very popular being up the hill away from the main attractions. However, was worth the visit. We would like to give it a decoration to make it more appealing from the street. With painted tables and table cloths perhaps. But the food was perfect.

We went for our annual visit and was disappointed to find that the restaurant had changed hands and wasn’t as good as previous years. Meat was tough and not as much of it. No where near as many vegetables as in recent years too. Wasn’t offered any puddings and didn’t see the lovely cakes and desserts as there used to be. Don’t think we will be returning next year which is an awful shame.

We were dragging are selfs back to the car park, we decided to stop at the bosuns locker for a breakfast . Everything was good so we will return

Smashing breakfast here the other day . Different owners who were famous for their cakes .Good value and friendly front of house with generous portions

The Sunday dinners were pretty good

We are a large ..local family and eat out most Sundays....so decided to give the B L a try....waited for the NEW owners to establish themselves......The positives....waiting staff were friendly......we were the final party for the lunch service.......and no ONE else there.....this straight away caused concern........we are are a easy but hungry bunch....!!!!......the veg was fine....the veg nice...plates were hot.......BUT the meat....we had beef and Turkey....but it could have been anything......2 slices of supermarket ...(imagine meat for a work sandwhich)........we took our own wine....which made the food feel a bit more palatable.......shame the bosun locker has not kept up the previous owners standards.will definitely not visit again or recommend to anyone.

Visited here today for a father’s day lunch after reading the excellent reviews. However, it seems the previous owners have moved on. Went in expecting to have a beautiful Sunday lunch, was unfortunately quite disappointed. Although the service was good and the ladies working there were very friendly the food was pretty tasteless, the beef didn’t appear to be cut from a joint but rather precut slices, the peas were hard and disgusting.

When we first came to New Quay Bosuns locker did the best cakes. Walked up the hill today to find it no longer serves cakes, it’s now a sit down cafe.

Nice place - only popped in for a drink and toilet but menu looked appertising. Fast service. Reccommended

A really excellent place to have breakfast or lunch. Fantastic menu, especially for vegetarians, and very welcoming service. Dogs are welcome which is so good. Highly recommended.

Great food, staff with character. Bought a Christmas pud too which was delicious. Dogs welcome too

Had a great Xmas dinner there 2018, now under new ownership.

Situated in New Quay, small but welcoming place. Lovely menu for home style food. Good price and value

Celebrated New Years Day with a lovely meal on the last day of Jayne and Brian’s tenure of the Bosun’s Locker.

Brilliant restaurant and cakes absolutely wonderful but not sure whether it has closed down

We visit this little hidden gem once a year. The Sunday lunch is delicious and huge ! Good value for money. You’ll need to leave room for the lovely puddings and cakes they do too. The Staff are all lovely, very attentive.

We visited this place to late for a Sunday meal. However we had a cream tea & a very interesting talk with the owner who likes to talk & be friendly with his customers. The place was very clean & welcoming & the staff were very friendly. Our Cream tea was lovely & tea to boo,. the local information helped us plan our holiday for the week.

The staff were so welcoming, we had a sunday lunch which was a choice of 1, 2 or 3 meats, yorkshire puds, roast ptotatoes, parsnip, stuffing, gravy and loads of veg. Really tasty food served in a relaxed atmosphere. Pudding was something from their 'naughty list' or exensive homemade cakes to choose from. We were too full but elected to take a slection of cakes home to enjoy later. This was a gem of a place if you are looking for good honest home cooking without any pretence or pomposity. We think the owners are retiring at the end of the year- this will be a real blow to locals and visitors to the area, but from our one visit we wish them a very happy and well earned retirement.

A great café made excellent by exceptional service. Visited with friends and small children, the staff made us feel welcome and bent over backwards to make sure the kids were sorted and happy. The food was great, the captains breakfast was epic! Leave room for cake though! Thanks for a lovely afternoon.

We have stopped by before going home back to Cheshire. We arrived a bit before opening but were seated by the most welcoming couple. Our 2 doggies were spoilt with some sausages and our breakfast was the best I’ve had. I was absolutely devastated by the fact they are retiring. The food was generous, the black pudding is to die for and the service is outstanding. We are 3 hours away, but need to go back before they retire. A true, welcoming, genuine dining experience. Don’t forget to get some cakes. Wishing you all the best and enjoy your well deserved retirement :)

Good food and pleasant owners/chef who make a visit enjoyable. I had a bacon sandwich, salad for my wife which was generous. Kids happy too. Wanted to try the quiche and sausage rolls that were v tempting! Deserts look great too.

Came in for a late lunchtime snack and even though the place looks a bit dated the menu for a cafe was quite good. Three of us chose toasties and even though it would have been nice to have had a choice of bread type the fillings were tasty and plentiful. One of our party had the Crab cakes which were very good. For drinks we had hot chocolate, cappuccino and tea for two, the drinks we well made and very generous.

The best Sunday roast in Newquay. We've tried the rest but this was best!!!!

Excellent breakfast. The staff were lovely. Of your in the area it's a must.

Popped in here on 7th October without a reservation but owner fitted us in for Sunday lunch. So glad they did, what a lunch it was! Huge portions, every vegetable that you could want, gentle attentive service. Brought back memories of going round my nan's house for lunch when I was little! Couldn't fit in the apple pie dessert but it was neatly packed in tupperware for us to enjoy later complete with custard! I can't remember the last time we got such value for money and such friendly service. Lovely place and lovely people

Called in for a coffee and cake. My wife thought it was the best custard slice she’s ever had. A lot nicer and cheaper than other places in Newquay.

Literally just come out of this place having had their very filling Veggie and Bosuns all day breakfasts..can't rate them enough..really friendly and I was chatting with the ladies kids too after they sat inside after school. Their cake slices are large pieces and all cakes are homemade by her mum..sadly they tell me in January 2019 they will be retiring and her Dad at 75 is looking forward to it..it was my birthday tday and promised them we'd pop in for some more very appetizing food. Couldn't possibly have managed their cake afterwards so took 2 pieces home for later on.. Thanks to them for what has to be the best served up breakfast I've ever laid eyes on,and tasted great! So full afterwards ,found it hard to walk home. Enjoy your retirements well earned definitely Steve Howard from Giltbrook Nottingham

We had been 2 years ago and visited again this year for another afternoon tea, and we were not disappointed, another fantastic feast of sandwiches, with added little snacks of quiche and others, followed by homemade cakes!! Yum!

What a wonderful find, serving excellent delicious wholesome food in a spotless dining room at a remarkable price. Such a lovely change from the multitude of presumptuous so called 'gastro' eateries! And what portions! Excellent Sunday lunch. Wish we lived closer, well done team!

Visited for the first time last year & although quite a distance from our holiday in Tenby it is well worth the trip. The owners put their heart & soul into the food & atmosphere. We only saw Jane thus time & her daughter, the food is lovely & the cakes are out of this world, hope to bust again next year

My husband is gluten free and the welcome and the gluten free food is excellent. Looking forward to going for Sunday lunch tomorrow.

Absolutely fantastic place. Friendliest owners staff and customers. Food is second to none and the home baked cakes look amazing. Apparently the vanilla slices are a must. Wtg on our friends verdict xx

Had a lovely lunch here. A bowl of cawl and a bowl of mushroom soup, both from the specials list. Accompanied by a 'roll' - mini baguette :-) - cheese and butter. All home made, including the bread I highly suspect. Huge portions and extremely tasty. Shame we didn't have room for any of the amazzing looking cakes.

Absolutely my favourite place to go for something to eat whether it is a cake and a cuppa, breakfast lunch. The food is excellent and the service friendly. We have been going here for years. Heard sadly that the current owners are retiring at the end of the year so go if you can before they do.

Small little place opposite the Black lion Hotel. Maybe small but Huge in taste and quality. The cakes I can’t explain you have to go and see for yourself. But the best of all the pies OMG. People were ordering and taken them home with them. So did I. So So Good.

Absolutely amazing cakes and meals .We ate here every day on our last visit to new quay and the food and service were excellent and I couldn’t find a single thing that could be faulted apart from the effect on my waistline

Love this place!! If you are passing by choose something delicious from the window! Amazing cakes , and sandwiches to take away all made fresh , home made bread. If you havnt tried the pork and bacon sausage roll you need to 👌🏻

We have holidayed in New Quay three times now. Every time we have visited Bosun's Locker. The owners are so friendly and accommodating. The food is very good, traditional and largely, if not all, homemade. On Sunday there was a choice of three meats or a combination of all three, with Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, stuffing and awesome gravy. On top of this the vegetable accompaniments were carrots, peas, sprouts, runner beans, new potatoes, sweet red cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and broad beans! We have had Sunday dinner here once before, a couple of years ago but this was even better than I remembered.

Visited this year and last year on holiday visits. Last year we had breakfasts and couldn't fault it, dog friendly and they were looked after with a big piece of ham. This year we visited and had Sunday Lunch, again friendly and the dogs were welcomed and the food was very good. The only problem was it was very hot and we both came out ringing of sweat, some blinds in the window seats would be useful on a hot day. Certain to visit again though when in New Quay.

After seeing on trip advisor we headed here specifically for our lunch. Good simple food cooked perfectly and served well. Despite being bank holiday and busy the staff were welcoming and friendly and we couldn’t fault the service

Best home made food ever with lovely staff it’s a little out the way but please go find it it’s well worth it it is directly opposite the black lion pub right at the top of the hill in new quay

The freshly baked goods lure you in. Today it was the freshly baked Black pudding and sausage rolls.. “Best thing I’ve ever eaten” said one friend as we enjoyed them on the Pier.

Went this morning for breakfast made very welcome including the dog very good vaule for money food excellent will be going again while on holiday

We had Sunday lunch on a busy Sunday. It arrived within 10 minutes. There was plenty of food on the plate. The roast potatoes were over done as were the vegetables, which I have to say was disappointing. The was a varied selection of veg just a shame they were soft.

Stopped here this morning with my partner for breakfast. The quality of the breakfast was second to none. Well presented cooked to perfection and with great service if you are looking for the best breakfast in New Quay look no further.

Came in for a latte and a slice of cake of which theres lots to choose from . Lovely friendly staff , delicious cake and plenty of time to sit and enjoy

Brilliant service very friendly accommodate your needs loverly fresh cakes and brilliant breakfasts.

This place is a little gem. We had a lovely breakfast very tasty 😁 Very clean & welcoming staff Thank you xx

Great little family-driven restaurant. All food is homemade and the staff is open for any wish you would like to get. We went there with our dogs and also they got a "little extra" . Welcoming atmosphere...every time again. Thanks a lot :-)

Popped in on the off chance for Sunday lunch without a booking. Space was found for us and our dog, who got his own water bowl and a sausage. Sunday roast was excellent and huge portions, plenty for the doggy bag. Got cakes to take away as well. They were delicious. Recommend booking for Sunday’s to avoid disappointment. Thank you.

Fancied tea and cake on our holiday and googled places to go and this popped up , massive slices of cake really tasty , quirky little place and staff were really lovely would definitely recommend stopping in

The friendliest, kindest most genuine lovely people we’ve been blessed to meet. The food is high quality and great standards, the customer service is outstanding, it’s a very clean hygienic establishment. These are truly lovely people with delicious food on offer. We would walk a thousand miles to eat here. The lovely gentleman is amazing with my son who has learning difficulties and adhd he truly believes the gentleman is Santa, my lad runs through to see Santa and the gentleman plays along filling my little boy’s heart with joy. Three years on and he still does this. These people are incredibly kind with great big hearts and wonderful premises to eat. Thank you guys for always being you and the best you can be. We always look forward to seeing you.

I don't know what planet the previous reviewer is on. I am gutted for these wonderful people they produce amazing food and have an amazing little restaurant. I eat there all the time and wouldn't go anywhere else in New Quay. I hope other diners will not follow the one bad review on here and follow the majority who have shown exactly what this place is like. Furthermore anyone who uses this sight seriously would look at the appalling spelling in that review and not take it even slightly seriously.

Fab food, owners and staff lovely

Hi , I'm so sorry there was a hair in my pink cake and they lied and said it was a paint brush

Really great, accommodating staff. Food was average though

Family run cafe with lovely cakes and a very warm welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would welcome it to all. being up the hill puts this cafe a little out of the way of the run of the mill visitor but it is just a short walk which we are sure you will find well worth it.

We visit New Quay every year and again this was 10/10. The food is delicious . if you are in the area do not hesitate to visit.

What a place. Not only are dogs allowed inside (and get sausages as treats) but the cakes are all homemade and are such a treat. Huge portions and masses of choice. The best cafe in the whole of New Quay in my opinion. Lovely owners too!

Visited here for the first time since we’ve visited New Quay. We were blown away with the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. The service was impeccable and made the visit worthwhile. Definitely one to visit next time.

Have walked past this restaurant many times, decided to go in one day and was not disappointed. Got the Bosuns Breakfast which is freshly cooked and comes with toast and marmalade included.The hosts cannot do enough for you and are very welcoming.All the cakes an pastries are home made, and we took three steak and kidney pies home for tea,they were delicious. The menu is varied and the Sunday Lunch is recommended best book in advance. Will be visiting again.

We had baked potatoes, a ploughmans lunch and a cranberry and brie baguette. All the ingredients were fresh and tasty, service was efficient and friendly, overall a very pleasant experience. Oh and the desserts are delicious, we had a slice of chocolate orange cake, really fresh and tasty.

Popped in for a hangover breakfast. Stunning food. Proper home cooking. Made a fuss of our dog and gave him a bowl of water and a sausage. Big portions for a big hangover. Highly recommended.

Today we visited the Bosuns locker for Sunday lunch, hadn't been before. Great welcome,first class service. Sunday lunch was first class, the Pork was delicious and there was loads of it. Will definitely be returning, first class ❤️❤️

Fantastic food, best Sunday Dinner we have had in a long time. Wonderful friendly staff.

The homemade cottage pie I had was amazing and the mocha was one of the nicest I've ever had! Would certainly go back!

Amazing food and even better service!

We have been down new quay a few times recently, and this place is amazing, you cannot fault anything. You need to try the breakfasts, lunches, cakes and of course the famous Sunday lunch (which I booked weeks in advance so we would not miss it). It is great to find a place that is so friendly, that the food is all homemade and you can actually sit inside with the dog. Brian and Jane are amazing people and nothing is too much trouble for them. Hope to see you soon.

Thank you Jane and Brian for a lovely lunch today. Wouldn’t dream of having a Sunday dinner anywhere else. Which actually means I won’t have another till 29th July . Cooked lunch today with an accompanying allotment of veg was so comforting and delicious. Meat was so tasty and tender. Plenty of it as usual. I wish my mother was still with me, she would have loved your parsnips most of all. It’s just like Sunday dinner growing up during the 70’s and 80’s for me.

Called in for a few snacks after walking up from the harbour. We were made to feel very welcome and so was the dog. All the cakes and food on display looked fantastic. You could feel the calories going on just looking at them!! A lovely place, lovely food and lovely staff.............
