I have lived in the Barrow area for 14 years, I still go home to Glasgow regularly and trek thro the Lake District, Lancashire and Yorkshire in search of fresh air, a good hike / bike ride and some good chips / beer at the end. I was devastated to get there at 4.05 pm one day to a definitive 'NO' when we requested a take away portion as the friers were switched off and empty , but I challenge anyone to find better chips , ANYWHERE! They are probably boiled or double fried but certainly roasted in some sweet Ambrosia to achieve a dark roasted , perhaps beef dripping like flavour , with a lovely silky soft brilliant white middle . Hurrah for the school hols, at least if the weather is rotten I know that the Bosun's locker might at least be open a little later !

My party of three visited on Saturday 29th March 2008 The cafe is lovely (decor in keeping with the the cafe's name and area) , the staff are polite, the menu is very good and the prices are very fair - approx £5.00 for a good portion main meal. Good choice of snacks available too. Real (not frozen or oven)chips available which are excellent. Everything is cooked fresh to order. 'Bosuns Locker' Cafe at Roa Island is definitely worth a visit.
