Set in a 17th-century warehouse on the River Witham at Sluice Bridge, Boston Lock Cafe is an independent cafe offering simple, well-cooked dishes in a relaxed atmosphere. We offer a seasonal daily menu and seriously good coffee from Stokes of Lincoln. Quality matters here at Boston Lock Cafe and less is more when it comes to our menu.

Almost all our food is made fresh in-house. We are passionate about minimising food waste, so we keep our menu limited but tasty. We cater for everyone, whether you're a full-on carnivore, vegetarian, vegan, or simply health conscious. We will always try our best to accommodate those with food allergies, but if you have any questions, just drop us a line eat@bostonlockcafe.co.uk.

Fabulous little café friendly staff, great to have a tasty soup that was piping hot, delicious! Thoroughly recommend. My mother and I were passing through Boston, walking distance to the Boston Stump!

Had a lovely time at Boston lock cafe. It appears to be a family run business where everyone does whatever they can to assist and make their customers feel welcome. We popped by after the Parkrun and the food and coffee was very nice. The teacakes had a lovely homemade rum and raisin butter and the sausage bap had very flavoursome Lincolnshire sausages. There was a very pleasant ambiance outdoors with some lovely music. Will certainly be returning here again.

Lovely stop for a cold drink on a warm day as our family cycled along the River Witham into Boston. The staff were also really helpful telling us the best way to cycle to the windmill. Thank you so much.

If you like a river frontage like I do, this is the place in Boston. My partner is a coeliac and they happily catered for her with a delicious lunch. The prices are fair and the owners and staff are lovely.
I'm not sure whether they sell alcohol, but the choice of hot and cold soft drinks is extensive.
Just a glance at the cakes put lbs on my waist.

The breakfast burrito was superb, rhubarb orange and almond cake amazing and smoothie was to die for.
Staff friendly and premises very clean.
Only problem for me is that I live a little to far away to visit more regularly.

Wonderful laid back atmosphere. The menu is limited, but the food they do do here is very well done. It's the sort of little Cafe you'd expect to see in Cambridge.. Trendy menu with a Middle Eastern twist as well as traditional sausage baps. Always my first thought for a late breakfast

We walked with a friend and decided to stop for a coffee and maybe a little bite to each. We ordered a breakfast burrito to share and we'll, in the end we had to order a second one because it was so good we didn't want to share 😂 it was well worth the walk in the rain!
Loved that it was dog friendly and we might even have to get the dog ice-cream next time!

Absolutely gorgeous tasting snacks! Love the little extras they include (I'm not telling lol). Very friendly and clean. Was already full at 11am, but had the option to take away and sit by the marina. If ever you decide to expand - please come to Kirton - we are crying out for a decent cafe here!
Very highly recommended *****

What a wonderful gem my husband introduced me to today. Intentions were just to stop there and have a coffee as that's what he had previously done but with seeing the menu, we chose to grab an early lunch too.
Oh my gosh, WOW!! Service was spot on, friendly and fast which is always a great start. Great variety on the menu which they told us changes weekly and so my husband chose the farmers breakfast which is a bigger size than the full english on the menu too. I went with mushroom stroganoff and rice, and no I'm not vegetarian but it simply sounded delicious! It was FANTASTIC!!
Lovely little
