A particular highlight is their Eggs Benedict—each serving generously portioned and perfectly balanced, as Angie Armstrong raves, “I would’ve paid the same price for just one… 2 of them just so filling, great cafe!”

Karl Hunter sums it up: “An absolute treat for the village… highly professional and courteous staff. Cannot recommend this beautiful eatery high enough.”

Completly spoiled as usual at Boskins today Only come here if you want great food, perfect service and gorgeous atmosphere. Consistently fabulous every single time we come here (Freya also highly recommends the strawberry milkshake!)
We had brunch here yesterday and would thoroughly recommend eating here. Atmosphere is calm and relaxing. Staff are friendly but professional also informative. The food is well presented , fresh and extremely tasty. We had ham and cheese pannini with hand cut chips , the menu was vast. I was delighted to find that my teapot didn't leak when pouring. Please give them your custom , you won't be disappointed.
Lovely place to come for a meal, catch up with friends or just have a brew. They also serve alcohol, afternoon tea and gluten free, vegan options.
What an absolute treat for the village of Tarleton. Each dish freshly prepared. Perfect location. All completed with highly professional and courteous staff. Cannot recommend this beautiful eatery, high enough. xx
Wonderful and friendly staff, I was catered for and made to feel so comfortable as soon as I entered premises. Very efficient and service is second to none, the food is glorious guys and to be fair with you I would of paid the same price for just one of these Eggs Benedict...2 of them just so so filling, great cafe and will definitely be visiting more regularly
Little expensive portion size on a takeout was smaller than expected. Lovely Victorian lemonade. 2 panini supposedly served with salad and crisps but if order chips charged for chips and get no salad or crisps 2 bottles of water £20.
Absolutely amazing - under new management and they have turned this place around. The ambiance was so welcoming and warm. The staff are all over it - customer service at its best. The portions were massive and so delicious. Old timeless classic building -mixed with a modern twist. I sat here on my own for 2hours waiting for my car to be fixed - ate n drank so much - but didn’t feel awkward being alone. Truly stunning interior, spotlessly clean, flattering lighting, great tunes- perfect little cafe Bistro. I wish you lots of luck with this project - 10/10. It’s got the heart of village community amalgamated with meeting to everyone’s expectations of what a great little place for a munch is - so relaxed. Thank you xx
