Was Anonym at Willows a mag?

Lovely lovely lovely. Old world charm and service. Home cooked food. Crisps and salad served with the sandwiches. Daily hot plates, and home made puds. Don’t ever change. Charming little place. View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Willows:

Old fashioned cafe hoping to get an iced coffee or fruit smoothie no they didn't offer these very old fashioned and basic cafe. You need to keep up to date with customer's tastes will not be visiting Willows again. Saying that the Summer pudding was...lovely. You need to expand your drinks menu keeping up to date with other competition of other cafes in the town!!! Staff very helpful and pleasant. View all feedback.

This is a pure hidden gem of a lovely family run restaurant, we go here whenever we can with family for breakfast, lunch, dinner and pudding! So clean you could almost eat off the floor, all staff are wonderful and so friendly, 100% value for money too, cannot fault a single thing and would highly recommend!

My aunt takes me here every time I visit and I look forward to it! Yes, it could be described as old-fashioned but the prices are also old fashioned: I am always surprised by the value for money. There is an ample selection of food on the menu, (although arguably not so much for those with dietary restrictions), the service is exemplary, the venue is clean and tidy with character. I look forward to my next visit.

Simply perfect in charm and execution. Willows serves home made food exactly how it should be. We stopped for lunch in Andover half way through a longer journey and were so charmed with Willows, we’d actually go as a destination in itself another time. We had a jacket potato and tea, and a brie and bacon toasted sandwich. We were so tempted by the huge range of desserts but didn’t have. Apparently the restaurant was previously a historic post office. The wooden beams and traditional artefacts added to our enjoyment. Thank you.

The staff at this restaurant is very friendly and the atmosphere is great. The roasted tea cake is delicious, as well as the beautiful cup of coffee. The price list is also very reasonable.

Nice little caffe. eat excellent.

I absolutely adore this restaurant - it has been my go-to spot for lunch for the past six years since I relocated to Andover. The staff is wonderful, they have memorized my order by now! They are consistently warm and the food is top-notch. I have introduced many friends to this restaurant and it has quickly become a favorite for them as well.

Lovely little place to eat! The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly definitely recommended going here
