Churches Coffee Shop and Restaurant in Boston

We haven't been here for years but decided to try it again after our usual diner was closed and we were pleasantly surprised. Same friendly family service and same competitive pricing as we remembered. I had the eggs Benedict and they were nearly perfect, eggs not quite runny enough but the quantity, quality and pricing were right. My partner had a toasted tea cake and we both had drinks, mine a cappuccino and my partners a pot of tea for one that actually provided sufficient for three. We will be back again in the near future.

Not open after 5pm. Potatoes not what advertised on board or menu. Not crispy. Piping hot food on hot plates , well seasoned.

Great little spot in Boston, with a fab little seating area oustide. The menu is nice an varied with everything from sandwiches to full hearty dinners. I’ve eaten here 2 or 3 times now when visiting Boston and it has always been a friendly pleasant experience.

Don't expect anything posh however expect good food at very reasonable prices served promptly and piping hot. Definitely recommend.

Lovely full English breakfast, lots of toast! Disappointing ketchup - it wasn't Heinz! Service was quick, friendly staff.

This review is not for the food, the food is 5 star and never disappoints. It is however the owner who lets this place down, in my eyes alway, as myself and Grandmother regularly eat here on a Thursday and I have now had multiple bad run-ins where he has been a bit rude. Very unfortunate as I would recommend this place to anyone but I think today is the last time we visit.

Brilliant place, wonderful staff and gorgeous food. And you can have a laugh with the owner I think his name is David who is always polite and professional.

Fantastic food and value . Super friendly staff I had a breakfast 2x butchers sausages mushroom potatoes 2x bacon bean eggtomatoes . Toast only £6.45 Will be back

Excellent - thank you. Due to illness, our plans changed before we received our food. This was no problem for the staff. They kindly boxed the meal up for us so we could have it when we returned home. Very helpful and many thanks.

Poor service, dirty place & terrible food ! Deep fried everything, stale bread, limp salad, fake Heinz ketchup - which I believe is illegal…. (Chefs larder tomato sauce refilled into heinz bottle).

Excellent Service, Good Food and Reasonable Price cannot fault it! Two full English breakfasts with Tea for £16! If your in town Well worth a visit.

Wearherspoons wasn’t serving food so we ended up here … and we were so glad we did 😀 the food was fantastic, homemade and plentiful 😋😘 Our server DAVID was a little serious at first but his dry humour came out and we were all laughing. We had x4 meals x6 drinks and enjoyed the mains so much we treated ourselves to a dessert/ pudding 😋👍 and it all came to &48 so it was also good value for money too. I would recommend this place to everyone and will certainly come back next time we are visiting here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great cafe/restaurant which is bigger than it appears. Good service, nice range of choice, excellent value.

Welcoming. Wonderful staff. Very supportive and helpful to Visually Impaired customers. Thanks so much. Food excellent. Chips wow wow wow. A must visit.

Have been here several times ,will continue to visit as have always left satisfied. Service is prompt ,Food very tasty .hot and well presented. Atmosphere was friendly, and cosy. Proprietor manages the Restaurant in a very efficient manner.

My husband and I came here yesterday for the first time and we will certainly come back next time we ae in Boston. The food was plentiful, tasty, extremely good value and it was obvious to us that plenty of regulars were using this establishment too.

Food was horrible microwaved cornish pasty and chips was sexually harassed by to men customers. The proprietor David didn't want to know obviously he new the regular customers We are to elderly ladies.

I have eaten with my mum and partner here plenty of times always good food and great price , nice cosy place too

A great little place, a good menu, selection of coffee and alcohol, sweets and cakes,all well priced, good attention to detail, friendly front of house staff and their own Basil Fawlty! Always a cheerful welcome to everyone, can't fault it. We need more places like this, situated in Church St, with good shops (newsagent, Thai Restaurant, Barbers, Fancy Goods, Bars, etc),worth looking out for when in town, open shop hours. Not to be missed

Friendly little restaurant/cafe,/bar, the food is a notch above the usual Wetherspoons /Marstons/Greene King, good selection of home made pies (weatherproons don't seem to be able to do pies!). Over 100 meny items, impressive, food comes quickly on hot plates, unfortunately tea pots could be hotter. Roast potatoes may be more boiled than roast, but overall, a comfortable, warm, clean place with an impressive menu. Maybe a rice or curry dish or two would be a good addition, but its more ok than not, recommended

Whenever we visit Boston, we eat at Churches and that has been for many years now.We are always welcomed as we enter and choosing from the menu is so difficult as there is so much to choose from.Having a daily roast, not just for Sundays is always popular with us.The food is freshly cooked so expect to wait a few minutes till it arrives, but you won’t be disappointed as it is all scrumptious and good sized portions too.All the meals are reasonably priced hence there are a lot of “regulars” and they are all welcomed by name by the friendly owners and staff who even know what they are going to order.Yes this isn’t a trendy, ultra clinical restaurant, but it is quaint, friendly, homely and serves great home cooked food and we will be returning again in the near future.

Lovely little find. Plenty of seating, big menu, reasonably priced and staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend

We stumbled on this cafe close to the church and market place by accident after searching for a resonable cafe last Saturday afternoon. The meal was excellent and the surroundings very homely. Staff very welcoming and gave efficient service., very friendly. Is a lot bigger than you think and the views upstairs of the Witham very interesting. When we left the cafe my husband of 74 accidently fell over his mobility scooter and could not get up. The lady and gentleman came out immeditatly and helped us get him back into his scooter. Thank you. Very concerned and helpful.

Lovely traditional cafe. Friendly welcome and lovely food. Beautiful full English with especially good sausages. My daughter loved her pancakes and my wife enjoyed her sausage sandwich. Lovely pot of tea too.

Situated down a side cobbled street, welcomed by a friendly owner. Plenty of food choices and specials, with social distanced tables. Had the traditional breakfast, and bacon buttie, both of which were tasty and more than sufficient. Called again had the fish and chips, perfectly cooked and a healthy portion. Friendly staff and would recommend anyone for a visit.

I travel a lot and I have to say the food at Churches is delicious and fresh, easily one of the best breakfasts I had on my travels.Value for money is very high too, around Churches is a real gem on Boston Thank you to all the staff

Food was good and portions large but the place was a bit grubby. With the lockdown so recently lifted it really would have been a good idea to deep clean this place while they had no customers. Very little choose for vegetarians.

Stumbled on this restaurant by pure chance today on a day visit to Boston. We ordered lunch, mixed grill, pork chop and breaded haddock. We had several drinks and then ordered deserts. Wow! The whole meal was cooked to perfection. It was definitely the best meal of the week. Lovely atmosphere and delightful little restaurant. Friendly staff. Will definitely return. We really enjoyed the whole meal and just to complete the whole experience we was then told our meal was half price due to the government scheme.

Come across this place whilst wandering around Boston so decided to go in and have a spot of lunch. Plenty of choice on the menu. Food and drinks ordered wd sat and had a look around the place. Drinks arrived with a nice young waitress smiling and very polite, the food followed a short while later, all very nice and tasty. The only downside was the chap that took the order asking what would you like kids not sure if he was trying to be humorous well I wasn't.

Churches has always been my go to restaurant for breakfasts and all day roast dinners. Great atmosphere and great food. Always feel welcomed and its such a cute little cafe with so much character. The food is consistant so you know the quality is going to be great everytime you order. Give it a go kids!

today i thought we go to Boston as it is one of my days to go out with one of my two support workers we had a look around the town and then time for dinner so as i /we was in Boston i said ok we are going to Churches Coffee Shop and Restaurant a warm welcome awaits you as you go into the place its so very nice and clean very good hot fresh food very good nice staff plenty things on the menus to choose from nothing is to much trouble for the staff and yes we will be back very soon P.S.I Would like to thank all the staff for a very nice meal thank you and i awared a Excellent

Up visiting family and we were all hungry. Found this place and what a gem. The food was fantastic super hot and all came out the same time.

Got a warm welcome, food was top notch and delicious, plus great value for money. Nice view of the river too. Hospitality was great, highly recommended.

So much choice and a lovely warm welcome, they never run out of anything. My partner and I come in regularly and everything is always spot on - fresh salad, fresh prawns and a 5 star breakfast; couldnt reccomend this place enough.My favourite place to go!

Terrible place! Went in for lunch the other day to be called a b*tch by a waitress and she was very rude to me, also a waiter came across as arrogant and it really put me off going to the place. The pulled pork and cheese panini was full of fat and the salad was very dry. Never going back!!!

I went to churches because all the other cafes were closed, I had walked past it several times but had read the reviews, however! I thought let's give it a try. On walking in I was being observed straight away as to say, why is that man doing here on his own I looked through their small menu and decided to have the breakfast. On ordering the breakfast with the gentleman. I asked for an extra, not sure if it was beans or something, whereas. I was told in quite an abrupt way, We don't do beans today, you need to come another day for them.The only good thing that came out of that meal was, he found out that I too can be abrupt too

Whether you're just after a quick coffee or something more substantial it is well worth visiting Churches Restaurant, 14 Church Street, Boston, PE21 6NW. David Wilson, who has served us each time we've been in, is very cheerful and friendly. The coffee is very nice and it seems to be very popular. Thank you to all concerned.

So you in Boston want a very nice clean place with great nice fresh hot food very nice staff well set out tables and chairs the food cook fresh well worth the wait you will find all these things at Churches Coffee Shop and Restaurant and all are at a very good price it has a very relaxing atmosphere and we will be back soon

Good food and nice relaxing atmosphere but one of the waiters thinks he’s Harry Hill and he might want to tone down the sarcasm but overall a good place to eat.

Lovely food, great Staff. good priced quality food. can recommend the breakfast, tried various meals and all good.

Food excellent ,atmosphere good, service good ,and a hot chocolate out of this world. Outside seating at side of the river haven for summer days.also very welcoming .

Visited Boston today as wanted to go somewhere away from the coastal traffic in Norfolk.

We often pop in here when out & about. The full English breakfast is our usual choice in the mornings and it never disappoints. The hot chocolate is always piping hot & lovely and the service is excellent. A very nice ambience too. Bang in the centre of town, next to the river, you can sit outside on the lovely little terrace at the back if you so choose. Lunches are very good with a wide range of reasonably priced good food. Very good value for money and highly recommended.

bean awhile but hear now for good food a very clean cafe with very good staff the food is cook fresh and you get it nice and hot if you should find something on the menu you dont like please tell them and they will change it for something you do like

Always consistent good food here. Breakfast really cheap and good quality Staff always seem in a rush and stressed out. Not the friendliest

Good honest food at a reasonable price. Great all day breakfast with really tasty sausages. Will be back.

Friendly staff, tasty light bites or more substantial meal options available. Good selection of gluten free if required/desired. Reasonable prices and warm atmosphere. Suitable for adults and children. You can also buy charming items such as gifts, art pieces, traditional jams and chutneys.

Been here twice now. Both times food was very good and at reasonable prices. Staff are very efficient and friendly. Altogether a very pleasant dining experience. Would certainly recommend.

ok back in Boston and as it near dinner time what better place to have dinner than good old Curches a very nice clean place plenty of seating use of public carpark only thing the loo is up stairs the staff are very nice the food is fresh and brought to you nice and hot you if you need to ask them to put something else on your plate if there is something on your plate you dont like but if you dont tell them they wont know we love it there and will be back soon

On the positive side this friendly venue offered a cosy retreat on a cold winters day where warm, filling food can be obtained for modest prices.

ok not bean hear for awhile a very nice clean place to eat good food meals (ect) the food is nice and hot when you get it brought to you you can get if you ask small meals or if there is something you dont like if you ask they will change it for you you will find that all the staff are nice and friendly

It was average nothing to spectacular. It was hot and edible I don't like Lincolnshire sausages however they were cooked well.

We popped in fro the rain and the welcome was refreshing, lovely. the staff were efficient, quick. The food was excellent, exactly what we anticipated only bigger ;-).

Lovely lunch today. Large portions. Husband had the roast beef and I had gammon. Both very nice, served hot. Friendly waiting staff. Offers local fayre.

Well located cafe/restaurant right next to Boston stump. It was quite empty when we arrived but manager was extremely attentive & pleasant. My breakfast was fine as was my partner s lasagne. I would certainly go again if ever in Boston. In conclusion though, there's nothing here which could be considered anything other than average. Average then but in a good wsy

Having cycled the fantastic cycle route from Lincoln (35 miles each way) I was ready for a coffee and a bite to eat. Locals suggested I tried here, but I couldn't see anywhere safe to lock my bike up. They did have an enclosed side area, so I politely asked if I could lock my bike in there. I got a brusque "No" in response, so I went elsewhere to somewhere friendlier. With better cake.

Dragged the husband to Boston for a few hours having never been before, was recommended Churches in passing from a customer who said the daily roast dinner was superb and great value for money and he was spot on! We sat upstairs away from the mums and pushchairs which would normally put us off, but upstairs was lovely and peaceful and a nice view out over the river. Husband always has to have an all day breakfast and wow did he have a great big hot meal, I had the roast beef of the day and all the trimmings. Excellent food value for money was superb, coming back again and told family and friends about this place

I was passing so opped in for a bite to eat. The breakfast was very nice and the shopp was a delighful place to eat breakfast. Will be going gain that is fro sure.

Bardzo oryginalne wnętrze i swoiski klimat, ciepła i miła atmosfera,tutaj można wyciszyć się na chwilę. Restauracja położona w centrum przy ulicy nie używaniej przez samochody, blisko parkingi. Czysto, Smacznie, polecam

I found this restaurant as I was walking around Boston, now every time I go to Boston on business I go for dinner in this little restaurant. The owner is very nice and helpful and the food is great. It’s quiet and over looks the river, there is no noisy people and it’s just great. If you want a nice place to go, this is the best restaurant in Boston and I’ve found. Big thumbs up.

Wouldn’t recommend this place at all the Sunday roast was less than average and seemed like it had been microwaved. Pointed out the dried turkey as hard as a biscuit and got no apology at all !!! If you just want basic food then this place is ok I guess

Wifey and I popped into Churches for breakfast and found a clean cafe with fairly attentive staff and reasonable food.The service was quite quick and the food didn't take long to come out.I personally found the breakfast a bit greasy but tasty and to be of a reasonable size.We would definitely revisit on our next visit to Boston.

Located next to the canal and beneath St Botolph's church known as 'The Stump', this is a nice place to sit indoors and have a good meal. Friendly staff and located near the Market Place.

Called here after visiting the church. Only here for a drink, but after looking at the menu, stayed for lunch. I had the roast beef. This was accompanied by a great selection of fresh vegetables. Reasonable prices, and lovely friendly staff. So good we returned later in the week for dinner.

After my trip to St.Botolph's Church in Boston with my son, we walked the few steps to Churches Coffee Shop and Restaurant. This is quite a small premises but is well run and has excellent food and service. On this occasion, we settled for coffee and rather large cakes, but there was plenty of choice.

During a.visit to Boston this week we came across this lovely old world coffee shop and restaurant . Accompanied by my wife and our two friends we visited the restaurant for lunch we were met by friendly staff and offered the extensive menus .Our order was taken and with great service our food was soon on the table piping hot and expertly presented .We all agreed that we had an enjoyable great value lunch .Our friends who reside in the area said the next time they visit Boston they will head back to Churches .

Popped in on the off chance not expecting very much to be honest. We were glad we had breakfast here. It was well cooked, arrived quickly and the staff were great. Interesting stuff on sale too. All in all a very pleasant start to a great day out in Boston

Just returned from a lovely dinner at Churches. We found it quite by accident, received a warm welcome and settled at a table. My husband had a huge and tasty pork chop, I had a delicious lasagne. Lots of menu choices, attentive host and a fab dinner. Would recommend.

this is small family run restaurant which gets packed with locals and visitors. Great value meals, not gourmet dining, nor seating but the food is well cooked and great sized portions. Lovely area of the town with over the river seating in some areas and almost next door to the famous town church.

I have in the past left good reviews for this place as have enjoyed nice food.I have always felt the owner comes across a little abrupt and seems to rush you.

“Cosy, casual, good for kids”. My left foot. Went last month as we had heard good things and our charity was meeting to discuss an event. All paying customers and about 6 of us plus 1 baby and a pushchair. Greeted with a contemptuous attidtude and short answers and gloomy faces. I definitely felt like we weren’t wanted there. The group met again today, I didn’t go but when they said they were going to churches I expected something to occur. Sure enough it did. They were told it wasn’t an office (one pad an paper and a laptop), that they created an unwanted atmosphere and that there was a room upstairs to be used. One gentleman started shouting at one of the ladies. They left feeling harassed

Went today,a group of 3 women and a child.We all ordered food and drink. We were meeting up to organise charity work and had used churches before.However today we were told to leave because we were taking to long and we were making it the wrong atmosphere. We had to leave our drinks but still made to pay. Threatened verbally by the owner! Completely over the top and horrific encounter. Never ever will we return and will be telling others of our experience.

My wife and I always come here for breakfast when we visit Boston,so while we were looking for an early evening meal noticed that Church's was open Friday and Saturday til 7.00.I had an 8oz sirloin which was cooked to perfection,my wife had a soup which looked and she said tasted perfect also.Now we know the later hours we will use it for evening meals again.Very well worth the visit.

I went her with my parents one of the workers decided barging past was the order of the day she went to put her hands on mums back to get her out of the way no attempt to say please may I come past I told the assistant about it she replied yes all right no actually its not all right next time I was in their on my own the assistant remarked to someone she's on her own she's not with her mother this time upstairs was often closed when I went in if upstairs is closed you get challenged by staff if you go up their where the toilet is you do have to explain why you are going upstairs

in boston we have one or two placess we use but like this one very nice staff very clean hot good size meals nothing any trouble for the great staff quite a lot of food to choose from and we will be back shortly

I have used Churches for years but usually with my partner and usually at quiet times and found it good. However I went there on my own on a Saturday Lunch time and was frog marched out of the door and told they could not accommodate me on my own at a busy time .Bearing in mind the money I have spent there over the years and there rude and forceful attitude to me , a pensioner, I thought there total manner was disgusting.

Good value great prices always enjoyed every meal. Pleasant girls that work there and the guy that runs it is always polite with a joke, will return.

Visited with friends for a light lunch on a Saturday. Excellent choice of meals, good prices and friendly service, and smashing coffee most importantly.

Was the nearest cafe when it started to rain. A bit cramped but found a table and ordered soup and bread which was very nice. Waited a while as it was busy. Went to pay the bill and asked about disabled toilet for my sister in law. Haven’t got one , only upstairs. Well l was in shock. We would not have eaten here if we had been told there was no toilet. No way could my sister in law climb the stairs.Then we had to find one in the pouring rain. No idea where we were going.eventually, found another cafe and asked nicely if could use their toilet. Not acceptable . Was like going back to the dark Age. Won’t go here again so be warned. Apparently they are getting one next year. Well I don’t think we could have waited that long.

Popped in for a bit of breakfast with the Mrs. She had the croissants with jam, I went for the Mackerel. Two mini cafetiere's, Java & Kenyan..,both were as always excellent. The croissants weren't great, barely warm to cold, so the tub of butter was wasted. My mackerel was excellent, came with mushrooms (over cooked), tomato halves (under cooked), and average micro scrambled egg. Nice seasoning though and plenty of buttered toast.

Visiting Boston was happened upon Churches purely by chance. We had planned to go for sunday lunch but not in Boston itself. We peeped in to Churches and found a table next to the window with wheelchair access. We thought a quick cuppa would see us on our way . The friendly service changed our plans and we went to do some window shopping and returned at dinner time. Sunday lunch was excellent and we stuffed ourselves with a pudding. We have taken note of location and will return for a breakfast in the future. Take note that the toilets are upstairs.

Called in for lunch, and had quite a long wait for a table. The staff however were very friendly and curtious.

We wanted a fairly quick lunch so enjoyed scampi and chips. Churches caters for everyone from young families to pensioners and offers a full range of meals from coffee and cakes to full roasts.

Excellent place to eat. Food is always delicious and hot. Really friendly staff and the owner always takes the time to speak to my son which I appreciate. Reasonably priced. Always enjoy coming here!

Today we went to Churches Coffee Shop and Restaurant as a treat for my husbands birthday (at his request). They are a friendly premise with good wholesome food and it is very good value. I had Hunters Chicken with chips and garden peas followed by Sticky Toffee pudding and ice cream. It was delicious. My husband had Roast Beef and all the trimmings, followed by Cherry pie and custard. Portions were good sized, but not over facing. You can have wine if required. Yet you can also have a snack from a wide choice. The smoking area is outside in the beer garden overlooking the river. There is room for disabled people though the toilet is upstairs.

We have been here many times and always had great service. The menu is amazing catering for most tastes and the prices are good. The food is always freshly prepared and service is great. Nothing is too much trouble. Will definitely be back.

First time in Boston with friends, not sure where to eat, so asked a local, we had cycled from Bolsover so wanted some decent pub grub. Our guide recommended this place and we were not disappointed. A great family business with a hint of fun, great meals and reasonable too with a good selection of tea and local cakes for sale as a bonus.

Came here for a sunday lunch. Was absolutely lovely. The beef nice and tender and portion size. The staff are lovely and very friendly. Defintly recommend. Not overpriced.

With 2 granddaughters on a day out in Boston, found this place by accident. Serendipity! A fabulous setting. Full and interesting menu, good food, good value. Friendly and efficient no fuss service. Great.

Used to pop in on a regular basis for a fry up in the week however don't get the chance these days and I miss it! Really polite & fast service, food cooked to perfection and about as cheap as you will get for the quality of food! Never overly busy and although small inside it gives a cosy feel, will definitely pop in when next in town centre!

Stumbled across this place after crossing the bridge. Looked at the menu and went in. Nice relaxing restaurant and plenty of choice . Ordered the lamb shank and the New Yorker with bacon. Glad we did. The meal took a while to get to us, but then good food takes time. We were not disappointed. Lamb was done to perfection with a small pot of mint sauce. The burger was the best tasting I've had in a long time. I would definitely recommend this restaurant

Consistently good food staff welcoming and child friendly. Menu choices from snacks to full meal. Clean & tidy.

Just called on the off chance for late Sunday lunch with family. Absolutely beautiful meal. The beef was tender and tasty and the veg perfect. Very polite and welcoming staff and reasonable prices too. Nice clean decor. Just the job!!

went hear today our first time we found it very clean and plenty of room to move about in the food was very good and it was hot and a very good plate full nothing was any prob for the staff and it as a out side place were you can smoke and have a meal i thought it was very nice place and we will be going back one day to see how it is

Lovely little cafe/restaurant. Staff are lovely and the food is yummy. Always have the burger which is mine and my brothers favourite. Nice cakes too.

Rude lazy staff who didn't even manage to place the plate on the table but instead shoved the cold plate towards me to grab. Couldn't eat the breakfast.Deep fried bacon with a snotty egg, cheap beans and tiny sausage included some sort of potatoes which wasn't even on the menu.Told we couldn't even have a choice of bread as it had already been toasted. With a cup of tea came to over £6 each..Don't waste your money.Will definitely never go back.

Popped here simply because heard it was nice and sister company to Churchill's lincoln. Wasn't disappointed at all meal was good and atmosphere good and staff helpful and friendly priced well and wasn't too busy.

Slightly over friendly welcome ( being of a certain age with wives all being referred to as "chaps"), but otherwise ok. Reasonable menu selection and choices but very disappointed with the offhand manner of the waitress during service and the plating of our dishes was very messy sadly which let down the overall ambience of the restaurant. Hopefully for others, this was just an "off day".

Loved this place. I had the scampiwhich was a real treat and tasty as well as very good value. Husband had chicken and leek pie and while this was not the best choice for the hottest day of the year it was delicious. There is an indoor and outdoor area by the river. Lovely glass of wine too. Definately a find.

Went to Boston for the day and found this place, thought it looked lovely and cute so we went in and ordered. A large Pepsi cost £1.75 that came out of a bottle We had to wait half an hour for food and when I ordered, I asked for my bacon to be well done. Our food eventually came and my bacon was rarely cooked, so I asked for them to cook it more just for it to be as bad as before, so I didn't eat it which cost me an extra 50pMeals are what you pay for for, wouldn't go back which is a shame as it seemed quite popular.
