All our pies are handmade here in the Sweetpea Kitchen using handmade butter pastry and filled with local meat, its a proper pie.

Exceptional Food & Superb Service. A real gem of a family business, (you could read their story and ethos on the menu card). The food was amazing my husband had one of Clives Pies (Lamb, feta & roasted vegetable and it was delicious -yes I snuck a bit) and my burger was equally good. Our desserts were superb too. The salted caramel cheesecake profiterols were incredible, my favourite dessert I think I have ever had, very light but such wonderful blend of flavours. This is simple food (with a slight twist) done superbly. You could taste the quality of the locally sourced ingredients and the obvious brilliant cullinary skills of the team. The food was beautifully presented on the plate. Service was lovely too, very friendly and efficient without being over the top. I would not hesitate to recommend Sweetpea Kitchen to others and look forward to visiting again in the near future and tasting many of the other delights on offer. Thank you to you all.

We've been bribing my toddler (and mother... and in-laws) with lunch at The Sweetpea Kitchen for the last few months, and we could not be happier with the food and service each time we visit. The food is always cooked beautifully, and the portion sizes are quite generous (particularly the child's English breakfast!). We also appreciate that most of the food offered is locally sourced. The food is wonderful, but the biggest reason we've gone back so many times has to be the incredibly friendly staff! We always have a warm welcome, and Lily has been a particular hit with our son! We would thoroughly recommend a visit to The Sweetpea Kitchen, whether you're a BOA local or just visiting the town!

Amazing place, went in recently on an extremely busy Monday afternoon. We sat outside and tucked into one of the homemade pies. We saw them when we walked in so had to give one a go! Can honestly say it’s the best pie I’ve ever had. Loved having a chat with the owner about how’s the pies are made. Would recommend to go and visit. Just a shame I live a 2 hour drive away.

Had dinner after walking from Trowbridge along the canal. We had burgers, fries and spectacular onion rings. They were delicious, a superb level of crispiness. Fries excellent and seasoned well. Burger really great. Service friendly and quick. No complaints.

Had a lovely meal on the terrace at Sweetpea Kitchen. Lucky enough to be one of the first to try their new smash burger deal. Really nicely done, one of the better ones ive tried in boa, big portion of chips and a top pint of Hazy Plan from True Story. The service was great, they really made me and my family feel welcome. We also had Lily the Labrador for company which pushed this visit over the 5 star threshold! Will definitely be going back 🙌

Surpringly delicious and worth the money. Had the butter chicken pie with chips, and it was incredible; homemade and the chips were golden and crispy. It came with roast carrots and parsnips, and gravy which were lovely accompaniments, although I didn't need gravy with a curry pie. The pork and apple burger was delicious too. Sat outside in the sunshine, it was lovely, although nearly everyone else seemed to order the chicken club, so maybe we missed a trick. It was £50 for two people to have lunch and a drink, but the food was so clearly homemade and delicious that it was well worth it.

Malgré un extérieur peu avenant, l'intérieur est chaleureux et la cuisine y est bonne pour un tarif raisonnable.

We enjoyed a full English breakfast that was clean (not oily), delicious and generous. A great atmosphere, chilled and relaxed with great views of the river and warm, friendly staff. A great way to chill out and enjoy great food.
