Welcome to The Boxwood Café

First opening its doors in May 2019, The Boxwood Café is part of The Barn Garden Centre in Oundle. Our purpose designed and built Café offers both indoor and outdoor dining with views over the plants and displays in the Garden Centre. We have a mixture of tables for dining as well as a comfy sofa, cushions and tub chairs for laid back coffee and catch up with friends. Outside on our patio, we have plenty of room for al fresco dining.

We’re open 7 days a week serving breakfast daily until 11:30am and lunch from 11:45. Our everchanging seasonal Specials Board complementing our menu has fast become a real hit with our customers. We offer an Afternoon Tea that can pre-booked to enjoy for a special occasion or just to spoil yourself.

As well as breakfast and lunches, we also offer a wide range of cakes, traybakes and desserts to accompany your fresh coffee or tea, including our homemade fruit or cheese scones and Brenda’s famous Cheesecake made from scratch by Brenda in our kitchen. We always have Gluten Free and Vegan sweet options available. No time to dine or need a coffee on the go? Not a problem as we can offer our food and drink as a takeaway.

As a family run independent business, we have searched for similar local businesses to source our food and drink from. H Johnson & Sons Butchers of Thrapston provide our sausages, bacon and meat. Select Coffee Services supply us with our Stamford Coffee Company beans. A family run firm based in both Stamford and Peterborough with over 30 years experience.

Easily found between Oundle and Barnwell, just off the A605, we have ample free parking and are accessible for wheelchairs and buggies. We aim to provide a welcoming and relaxed place to enjoy good food, good coffee and good company. Our Boxwood team very much look forward to welcoming you, be it for a weekday lunch, weekend brunch or just a much longed for catch up with friends over coffee and cake. We are child friendly with highchairs, baby changing facilities and a children’s menu.

Gift Vouchers are available to buy in person from the Café. For frequent visitors, ask for one of our Loyalty Cards. As a ‘thank you’, get a drink on us once your card is full.

We are dog friendly! Well behaved dogs on leads are very welcome both in the Garden Centre and The Boxwood Café. Water bowls are dotted around the outside of the Café. We politely ask you to clean up after your dog – if you do not have a bag to hand, please ask a member of staff.

Table Reservations

We can get very busy over lunchtimes and at weekends. We take a limited number of table bookings each day. This means we can keep some tables for walk-ins without a booking. These are offered on a first come first served basis.  If you would like to book a table, please phone us on 01832 270200 during our opening hours to check availability. Tables can only be booked in person or over the phone. Reservations cannot be made via E-mail or social media messages as these channels are not continually manned. We can only reserve tables for a maximum of 6 people. Outdoor seating cannot be reserved. Thank you for your understanding.
