First visit for my husband and me, very pleasantly surprised, my husband had chilli with chips and I had jacket potato with grilled chicken and sweet chilli sauce, good sized portions, very tasty, served piping hot so what's not to like. It was very busy but we didn't have too long to wait for our food to be brought to our table by a very pleasant waitress. Surrounding vacated tables were cleared very quickly. All in all an enjoyable experience, we'll be back.

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

Went today and didn’t expected it to be that busy. Ordered vegetarian breakfast and must say we loved it. Decent prices as compared to other places and considering inflation. Special shout out to staff,they were swamped with customers & still offered top class service respectful, polite and helpful. Keep up the good work and thank you

We love Boswells as it has a good range of food that pleases the whole family. I have the chicken salad which is so yummy - such a generous portion of chicken for your money. Always friendly staff and clean. Would recommend.

I’ve been coming to Boswells for several years. It is head and shoulders above every similar establishment in Andover. Really friendly staff, and well cooked and presented dishes for all pallets and pockets. Keep it up.
