Boswells in Eastleigh

Lovely lunch. Service was a bit slow today, but it was a bit busy.

Very Friendly staff good at their positions, they are employed to carry out.

The Boswell in Swan Centre Eastleigh was absolutely filthy, dusty and toilets a disgrace. Given the prices charged- you should be able to expect somewhere clean to eat! The food itself ok but coffee very poor at almost £4.00 for a medium cup. The whole place needs a Deep Clean . Given the number of elderly and those with young children using it - very unhygienic .

Best breakfast in Eastleigh by far

Very clean, great food and friendly staff

Very high quality cafe. Pristine toilets and great customer service.

We go into Boswells twice a week. Always clean and tidy with a good selection of food.

Was busy but well managed Jacket potato was not as nice as expected it to be. Cheese could have been melted on the baguette rather than sliced in baguette. Otherwise a good first first experience.

Not the cheapest place to eat but can justify it when the all day breakfast was fantastic and fresh, staff super friendly and helpful will be coming back soon for more food

Great place to sit and watch the world go by

Lovely lunch with family , tasty food 😋 great service too 😀

Easy to find. Great food great prices.

A Lovely full English for me and beans on toast for my wife. We cooked food very well presented and served piping hot. Very friendly service from all of the staff and I loved the hot chocolate. I would highly recommend a visit.

Excellent on taking food order and good service on drinks. Just needs to be a bit quicker at tills when taking payment. Great food as always

Food excellent as were the drinks and reasonably priced

First time having breakfast at Boswell's and we've agreed it's the best in the area! Coffee was one of those that makes you sad to get to the end as there's none left! Staff were friendly and service was quick with no fuss. Highly recommend!

Lovely lemon drizzle cake. Friendly staff. Only downside was the smell of the cooking oil - smelt like it was maybe due for a change.

What a disappointment, have visited before but this time was not good sadly. Coconut milk latte, and two ham and cheese croissants ordered. Lovely staff, order came quickly but not good. My coffee had no flavour at all, the croissants were nice enough but the salad was warm and limp totally inedible. We didn't have time to reorder otherwise we would have done. Such a shame

We love going to Boswells at Eaatleigh. The food is lovely and the staff are friendly and very welcoming. The only thing missing is a nice selection of gluten free cakes.

Visiting family in Eastleigh and they suggested breakfast at Boswells. This was my first visit and their English breakfast and tea was good esp as they swapped out the beans for mushroons for no additional charge. Would definitely go again.

Great place for lunch bite, reasonable and good quality food. Kids loved it too. They went above and beyond to ensure the coffee was just right after it being weak to begin with. Great attention to detail! Thank you.

Great food, decent value for money and not much to really complain about. The water is kinda expensive oddly tho

Lovely place, great food and incredible service.

We found Boswells and had a brunch there. The atmosphere and decor is great and fresh. The staff were friendly, polite and welcoming. The range of food, all freshly prepared or cooked , was excellent. The two meals we had were very good and served promptly. A grest place to visit again.

Absolutely amazing place. Staff are all so polite. Food is delicious and a great choice and very reasonable.

Firm family favourite. Staff are always helpful and friendly. Decided to have the club sandwich and I was not disappointed. Fresh, tasty, and toasted just right. A proper traditional Club Sandwich completebwith three slices of bread and a proper slice of chicken breast. Definitely recommend.

Classic cafe restaurant, good quick service usually. Often fairly busy but well staffed. Food isn't exotic but good and fairly priced

We always stop here several times in the day when I visit Eastleigh. My daughter attends a training event in the town and we always find this coffee shop clean, comfortable and friendly.

Popped in for a light lunch, tuna melt was perfect, latte was tasty and dessert was a brownie and yep good again.

Used to love coming here but it's really gone downhill. Cutlery is dirty, found hard food on our teaspoon, milk pots had black floaters, mugs where filthy. Food arrived in good time but was cold. Very disappointed as it used to be good.

Yet again another good meal in comfortable, friendly, unhurried atmosphere

Lovely place to get breakfast or lunch. Staff very polite and helpful. Good value for your money would definitely recommend :)

This is a lovely spot for a quick bite. The food and coffee were both great and the previous reviews are right - staff are so lovely and welcoming. Thanks guys xx

Had lunch here today excellent service and food was great . always come here when in eastleigh wouldn't go anywhere else. Friendly staff

Don't come to eastleigh very often, but when we do we go to Boswels, good cakes,good food,good coffee good service

Always lovely friendly ladies. Been going for years, so nice to see the ladies who have worked there for many years. Staff great food great.

Great place for an easy, friendly catch up with friends for lunch. Great selection of food. Very busy and waited a little while for table.

Always busy good food. But need more staff to separate eaters and drinkers

Excellent staff and service. Just coffee on this visit Very busy

Had a breakfast and green tea today. Excellent service and friendly staff 5 stars ⭐️. Lovely food as always. Clean and tidy like always too.

Lovely food and friendly staff. Only problem was it was a bit chilly in there.

I took my 2 granddaughter's to this place they love.........now I love it to. Fresh food and I mean FRESH.

We love eating here. The staff are very friendly and good choice of food.

Very popular! I had the vegan breakfast and it was lovely. Good tea served here 👍

Situated in the Swan centre in Eastleigh the place was very busy. You can see why while queuing up to place your order you can see a selection of all the savoury foods on display followed by sweet selections that makes it very inviting. I see many people order the all day breakfast that looks fresh. But I fancied the look of the festive menu and went with the turkey club sandwich, along with gingerbread latte and bowl of chips. The menu failed to mention or I missed it that the sandwich came with tortilla chips so I did over order. The staff were all very friendly, fast and efficient. Service with a smile. The sandwich was delivered to the table and it was very full to bursting with lettuce leaking out the side. There is a generous amount of turkey, bacon, lovely oozy brie and cranberry sauce sandwiched in 3 slices of toasted bread. A big bite is needed to get a taste of it all but definitely a classic combination done right. The chips were pretty standard fair, portion was good and the gingerbread latte hit the spot. Very nice, I will certainly visit again to try other items on the menu.

A very nice clean spacious cafe with a very good menu and excellent friendly staff. Each time I have visited I have tried something different and I have never been disappointed. Good value for money and great choice.

Immaculate, really lovely friendly staff, food excellent great choice

I have been here many of times and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Always excellent service, great staff and food is always amazing. Thank you!

We go in here when visiting eastleigh. Good food. Friendly staff and normally plenty if seating. Good value food for all the family. My wife is vegan and wishes they had more choice. There are loads of frozen things that can be cooked quickly so no idea why not done. Over all good value.

It's a big coffee shop/restaurant that has a real family feel to it. Food is always great with a service to match. What's not to like.

Lovely cafe when in eastleigh does nice food, its clean and the staff are always polite . Not cheapest cafe but much better than the others in Eastleigh

Busy, busy, busy … which reflects the quality of the food and service.

Very nice place to eat or takeaway. Excellent menu, I always eat here if I visit Eastleigh

Went to Boswells before we went to do our shopping. Both had English breakfast which was very enjoyable well cooked. Good value for money. Had 20 minute wait as extremely busy. Certainly eat there again. Staff are very hard working, even the manageress bonnie, nothing she won't do, really mucks in.

Great breakfast in Eastleigh Town Centre.

Very good all-day breakfast plenty of seating can sit outside in their designated area also do take away very good service

Absolutely charming establishment catering for all my coffee requirements. I don't hesitate to recommend this wonderful cafe/restaurant/diner to all of my followers in the Eastleigh area.

Went in yesterday morning with my parents and the breakfast was lovely, but it was one member of staff that had let it down for us hence why I have only given this cafe 4 stars. I have complained about her several times and have been told that she will be spoken to but she just has the same attitude every time we go in there. If something isn’t done about this then my parents and I will have no choice but to go somewhere else.

The chicken in grilled chicken and bacon was not grilled. Bacon was tasty. Unfortunately, salad was not fresh. A girl taking an order was very friendly with high standards of customer service. A lady at the till less friendly. The place was noisy but very busy, so that was expected.

Such wonderful staff. They have the patience of saints. There was some very rude an abrupt customers in front and behind us in the queue. The staff remained polite and professional. I don’t know their names but there was a young man and woman working on the till and drinks section and they were working so hard to keep up with all the orders. Food was lovely, drinks were great!

Breakfast here today excellent food service Good alway quite when I come which is good the way I like it. Best cafe in eastleigh.

Start to finish fantastic service I'm going to mention names first of all kirsty the chef who made our breakfast it was absolutely fantastic quick and reasonably priced then up to Ali who took our drinks order very professional but incredibly friendly Harry who made our drinks quickly and they were perfect over all 10/10 in all departments

Delicious Cornish pasty and good coffee

Nice place to meet friends for breakfast and lunch

The paninis and cheesey chips are amazing ! Haven't tried much else but haven't had luck with other items in comparison

Nice chilled place to go on a Sunday morning for a coffee before all the shops open

Great place for a cuppa and a cake!

Lovely cafe, we always enjoy especially kids menu here👏🏻

First time visiting Boswells whilst in the area and certainly the last time. For a cup of tea and coffee it was just over £6, service was slow but it does get very busy at lunch time. When my partner was given the drinks on a tray this was dirty and had not even been wiped the table was also sticky.

Loveĺy place to eat and drink. Children and babies always welcome here. You won't be disappointed. 😀

Popped in for a light, late Sunday lunch. Good menu with good options. Very pleasant staff, special mention for Jess who is still training and Ollie. Will definitely be back

Lovely service and great food. My son and I love it there

Good food, lovely staff with great service. Love going there for weekend breakfast.

All the people that work there are very good .

Great vegan menu. Needs fresh vegan cakes please.

A lunchtime bacon sandwich and americano. Bacon done just how I like it! Staff as always friendly and efficient. Clean and tidy.

Excellent cafe. Lovely friendly staff who always make you welciome. Good selection of tasty food and there's an outside area with seata and tables. Drinks are nice too

It was busy Saturday lunch but it was quick service and lovely food. The all day breakfast was hot and the sausages large. Delicious!

Always go here when visiting eastleigh.great staff and atmosphere

Fantastic place to eat and spend time. Family friendly with healthy food and organic soup. My kids have enjoyed the tomato soup and they are very fusy. Food looked and tasted amazing, fresh salad and lasagne made from scratch. Portions perfect, not too big, not too small. Happy and polite staff. I spent more then expected but definitely worth the money for the quality of food and service. Highly recommended

We stopped here whilst out for lunch with friends. Decent cafe with large seating area and extensive menu, there is also extra seating in the main shopping area just outside the cafe which is where we sat. There is a lot to choose from here from cakes and pastries to toasted sandwiches, paninis and proper cooked meals; the selection of drinks is also extensive. The food was quite good although one particular Cherry Bakewell was a little suspect. The coffee was nice, I had a decent biscoff milkshake. All in all I’d recommend a visit if you’re in the area and need some food and a coffee.

Always great service and a smile 😃

Fantastic service, very warm and welcoming staff members and exceptional manager Karen who served us personally

Fast service with lovely food. Bit noisy

Cafeteria style coffee shop. Good coffee and wide range of snacks and hot food. All day breakfast is excellent

Not bad, slow service due to queue, but ok after that.

Stopped off for a bit of lunch as a treat with my wife. Service was great and the food too. All in it was a lovely way to spend a lunch break. Xxx

Very busy but service was excellent from ordering to service at table food well prepared with good portions offered.

There's a good selection of breakfast options ranging from the full English to croissants and cakes. Coffee was OK, but not great. Staff were friendly and efficient and service was prompt. It's a large cafe with lots of seating but the noise levels are quite low, which meant I could easily chat with my wife without having to shout.

Lovely breakfast bap, fish and chips were dry which was a shame. Quite expensive.

Local cafe with a good selection of food, including gluten free menu. Good value.

Great place to go for breakfast in Eastleigh

Lovely staff, good selection of food and drinks. A good cafè.

Lovely staff, very friendly. Good food and service. Bit noisy but most of these places are now.

Not a fan of Eastleigh and the shopping mall, but this café is decent compared with others in town. Friendly staff and fresh food.

At 20 minutes to 4 on a Sunday, we went into boswells for a tea and a piece of cake. They were open, board out etc but we got turned away because they had done the till...not impressed.

Very busy, bit of a wait to be served

While queueing up, we crossed everything in the hope that the girl with blonde hair in side bunches draped over her shoulders WAS NOT going to be serving us or preparing our food! (Kirsty?) Food Hygiene isnt complicated and not sure why she would think it acceptable to have her hair dangling above the food wherever she went?! Why didn't management pick this up? Would probably consider going elsewhere as if that was front of house, which made us quite uncomfortable about what other things might be missed? Shame, as the breakfast was quite nice and went down a treat.

Had to ask for spoons as none in cutlery stand.
