Brewers Arms in Bassetlaw

We were in Clayworth and needed somewhere for lunch. This is very pleasant and dog-friendly English country pub. Excellent sandwiches - I recommend the Brie and bacon.

Got to say the food here is amazing , fantastic country atmosphere we love this place Lovely people dog friendly Fresh cooked food with a wide menu and special board

An absolute gem of an old worldy pub with a vintage country pub look and feel, 2 beautiful open fires and a selection of drinks, food is outstanding with proper homemade chips and reasonable prices, children's menu and mains cost around £10 to £20, also dogs are welcome and a nice walk down the Chesterfield canal, it's a great pub

Can’t rate this pub enough food, drinks hospitality and ambiance! Best pub I have been to for the whole package! The food is all homemade and outstanding!!!!

Disabled access through side door Into a traditional dog friendly country pub just like they used to be but with the added advantage of restaurant standed food. Friendly welcoming staff and excellent service👌 wide ranging menu to suit all tastes and the lady of party stated the Scampi were the best Ever! In all well worth a visit and be prepared for a gut buster.

A warm welcome, excellent food. Portions very generous and realistic prices. A true country pub, highly recommended.

This place is fantastic very dog friendly great staff make you so welcome we love it and the food is excellent always cooked to perfection try home made steak pie, scampi I always have surf and turf and it’s always excellent and portion control wow We love this place proper pub food

Cozy traditional English Country Pub, great pint of Barnsley bitter, plate full of fish 'n chips, very enjoyable, prompt friendly service and totally welcoming to people and their dogs, Just right!!

Visited again as I was in the area so popped in for a quick lunch. Food and service are excellent as ever and a really friendly atmosphere.

Really friendly staff and excellent food. Great quality and good portions. Well worth a visit. A real traditional local pub with a really friendly atmosphere.

Another amazing meal. Havent been for a while but yet again it was delicious. I had the gammon and this was awesome. It does the best pub chips ever. Love it

My review reading last week quoted " £85 / 4 people incl. starters, mains, deserts & 2 rounds of drinks " ............ NOT TRUE !! My first hand experience cost us £132/4 covers - no starters, mains, deserts, 3 wine, 1 shandy & 3 lager. Very expensive though enjoyed by all.

Perfectly cooked food chosen from a good varied menu and in a happy and friendly atmosphere.. Thank you.

Very good food and very generous portions.were made to feel very welcome. Could not ask for better service.

Food brilliant ...very generous portions. All staff very welcoming and very helpful. Will definitely be back.!!!

We called in today for lunch before our walk. The girl/lady serving us was lovely, friendly and attentive - nothing was too much trouble to her - she was more than happen to amend our food order to suit our tastes and dietary needs. The food itself was excellent - piping hot , tasty and plentiful too. We would definitely recommend this lovely pub and will be returning again soon.

When we're visiting family in Clayworth, we always look forward to stopping at the Brewers' at least one evening for dinner. Richard & Gina are fantastic hosts, and always make us feel welcome. The home cooked style food is excellent. Whilst the Blackies' up the road is nice - it's too corporate, and artificial - once you've seen one 'Gastro Pub', you've seen them all. The Brewers Arms on the other hand is a fantastic village pub.

Great location next to the Chesterfield Canal. Nothing artificial here. Home cooked food very tasty and generous portions. Friendly staff and a really nice atmosphere. Dog friendly too!

Excellent food, my husband had a 20 oz steak which was cooked blue/rare to perfection, my lamb chops were perfect too. The chips are home made and vegetables fresh and tasteful. Friendly staff who are taking the Covid precautions seriously. We felt very safe and I would recommend this place.

Despite the uncertainty of the current situation with Covid restrictions in place, we met up with some friends at the Brewers. All of the safety measures are in place and although the menu is currently limited, we had no problem deciding which of the dishes we wanted to order. The lady who served us was excellent and the food was superb! The menu is on a chalk board so no need for disposable paper ones.We were told that a homemade steak and ale pie is going back on the board and we will definitely be back to try that!

Lovely friendly atmosphere, great service, good craft ales, the food is amazing, if anyone leaves the Brewers hungry they really should seek medical advice. Icing on the cake for a few of my friends is it is very dog friendly.

Haven't been here in over a year but was not disappointed. Once again it was friendly and welcoming with good food.

As a vegan, it's always a bit hit & miss if I'm going to find something good to eat in a restaurant, so it was with slight apprehension when my mum-in-law booked The Brewer's Arms for an anniversary treat for my husband and I. Happily, my worries were quickly dispelled as the lovely proprietor, Gina, explained that she and her husband, Richard, had recently been to a trade event with the aim of exploring more vegetarian options to list on their menu.The choice for vegans was limited (more for vegetarians) but I chose a falafel burger with salad and sautéed mushrooms, which was excellent.My husband had a huge plate of fish and chips and my mother-in-law had (a child's portion!) of gammon with melted cheese. Both were pleased, too.Gina was even able to offer me some dairy free ice cream for dessert.This is a comfy local with a good range of meals on offer and the friendly atmosphere and willingness to embrace plant-based dishes made this a very good dining experience.

After booking a table at the blacksmiths arms in Everton Doncaster for the 1st August for a birthday with friends in arriving to to pub we find a barrier across and security staff on site. Asking the guy wats going on was told the owners a top brewery company had closed the pub with no notice as u can imagine I was not a happy bunny so we went the brewers arms in clayworth and was made very welcome by staff and owner we had been there b4 as they were very busy they made us a table up when they could the food was outstanding service outstanding would certainly recommend the brewers hands down thank you so much for my birthday a great success

Visited this pub as a group of 4 on a Saturday night, booked in advance as advised by bar staff over the phone. First impressions weren’t great if I’m honest, a typical country pub, lovely warm feeling to it but an update well overdue, the owners were really really friendly, good sense of humour and pretty sarcastic which we didn’t mind at all. The menu was good, quite a variety, something for everybody. The starters were really nice, well presented and at our table fairly quickly. The mains were outstanding. There aren’t many places that understand my meaning of meat ‘well done’ but this is definitely one of them , the mixed grill was cooked to perfection, 1x large gammon, 1x large steak, 2x proper sausages, black pudding, home made chips and a few greens, it was lovely, reasonable prices, £85 for four starters, 4 mains and 2 drinks each, definitely recommended and well worth a visit

Love this place great food and a very warm welcome try it good portion size The sirloin steak and scampi are first class we just love it thanks the brewers keep it up A dog friendly pub

This place is Clayworths true local,where as the inn across the road tends to bring in the outsiders! You always get a warm welcome at The Brewers,with nothing being too much trouble for them. Give the place a go,you certainly won't be disappointed.

Called in for Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago after saying for weeks we would try the food. The portions are massive but soooooo tasty. Really enjoyed the roast pork and they allow dogs in as well which to us is a bonus

Had a very enjoyable evening here with family. 4 of us ate and everyone of us gave it the thumbs up. Prompt service,warm food and ENORMOUS portions. Very reasonably priced and a cracking pint of Bombardier. Great atmosphere,great staff...... keep up the good work to all involved

We went with family and it was a busy Friday night but the food was great. I had the bbq chicken and bacon which was lush. The bbq sauce is very tasty. My wife had the chicken in white wine and mushrooms which she loved. Good service and great food. Fully recommend.

We visit here quite often and the place is what it is. The food is always excellent and big portions. One big plus here are the owners are stand on and you deal with them personally most of the time. ( which is a big plus in this day and age ) as most owners take a back seat and let young people run the show. ( prob why our local pub has shut down)

If you want a nice traditional English village pub that serves good food, then this is the place for you.

I have always lived around this pub but never been in. What a warm welcoming we received! Gina is a very friendly helpful lady. Nothing is to much, eat what you like and make your own meals. The cook... amazing! Proper pub grub! Definitely making this pub my local!

Well, this place was recommended by a work colleague but truly it was awful. Dry, garlic mushrooms on dry toasted roll. A steak that was off and smelt awful and very mediocre chicken dishes. It was dreadful. I suppose it depends on what you're accustomed to but if you set the bar in the middle, the quality falls very short. Staff were lovely however and dealt with the steak complaint appropriately. But, got to say that even their kindness and friendliness wouldn't tempt me back in a million.

A happy and welcoming pub with great food... I had the sausage, liver and black pudding in a thick onion gravy, and my partner loved the salmon with new potatoes... Even better with a good pint of real ale... No room for a pudding though.. maybe next time. x

Brewers Arms is easy to find but there is limited parking around the back but ample parking along the street. I am often juvious upon entering small village pubs as I have often experienced locals to be quite intimidating. This was not the case at the Brewers Arms and I felt the atmosphere to be warm and welcoming. It was quiet upon our arrival and I could see the tables set for tea and some reserved. The member of bar staff was friendly and quickly showed us to our table and offered us a menu whilst pointing out the 'Specials Board' . . The menu was minimum but plentiful and I still struggled to choose due to the lovely selection which included fish, home made pie, vegetarian, steaks and chicken. I had noticed the portion sizes being served to other tables whilst sat having our drinks and they looked to be of good portion. I chose the chicken with cheese, bacon and bbq sauce which came with homemade chips, salad, homemade coleslaw and a extra portion of bbq sauce. My meal was so satisfying and fulfilling that I had no room for pudding and there's always room for pudding but not this time! The selection of desserts varied and had the traditional puddings available. My friend and I got chatty with a local couple sat beside us who confirmed that portion sizes are always the same and if your meal wasn't manageable then the staff will pack it up for you to take home. I would definitely recommend a visit to this pub with family members and friends of all ages because you will be offered a warm welcome. See you soon

Came here for the first time and the food was brilliant. The lady behind the bar was really nice too. Will definitely be visiting again

Visited for lunch. Ordered the homemade lasagne and a steak.

I used to eat at this establishment a decade ago and it was great then. I have just moved back to the area and thought I would try it. I was not disappointed. Same owners but the standards have not dropped over the years. The quality of the food is exceptional and the portions are not for the faint hearted. Cosy place but not too fancy just a really nice place for a meal- I may make it a weekly event.

We decided to go for lunch at the brewers arms so rang to ask if they were dogfriendly we could take our spaniel inside and he was given a lovely warm welcome biscuits and water nothing was too much trouble and we were soon relaxing by the open fire enjoying a fantastic meal home cooked and all fresh produce portions were generous matching the warmth and generosity of the staff nothing was too much bother even my allergies we came away full relaxed and happy we had been made to feel special my dad in his eighties commented on the old style hospitality we to felt this and it enhanced our visit so rare elsewhere we basked in it we will be going back regularly when we visit dad thank you very much it was awesome the dog agreed

We’d been several times to the pub for a drink but our 1st meal here. Decided to go for burger. Wow!!!

Fantastic Sunday Lunch. My family of four all visited the Brewers Arms for the first time last Sunday, the hosts were very very kind and attentive and sitting near the open fire was fab. All four of us ate different dishes and we all polished...

Visited Brewers arms a few times very warm welcome excellent choice of home cooked foods very large portions love this place we will be back excellent value for money

I'm not from the area, but was visiting a friend who lives locally. We were certainly made to feel welcome....

Habiendo sido desalentada por la recepción en el vecino Brickmakers probamos nuestra suerte para el almuerzo en el Brewers. Nos recibieron muy calurosamente, el perro fue dado un tazón de agua y una galleta. Ocho de nosotros pedimos varios bocadillos para tener agua caliente/fría con...

Fuimos con amigos y disfrutamos de una comida de domingo. La cena de carne asada fue muy buena. Un enorme plato de comida bien preparada. Elegí jamón 'n huevos que también era bueno. La cerveza es siempre bueno en este pub

Decidimos visitar a una recomendación más temprano en el día. Los brazos cerveceros era fácil de encontrar, pero hay estacionamiento limitado en la parte de atrás, pero un amplio aparcamiento en la calle. Estoy a menudo juvious al entrar en bares del pueblo pequeño como...

He estado en este pub unas cuantas veces y siempre he tenido una gran comida. La casera, Gina, es acogedor y hace sentir a todos valorado como cliente.

Mi marido y yo probamos este pub por primera vez, para la cena. Un gran ambiente fue inicialmente dada tanto por la recepción es muy amable y la hermosa chimenea en vivo. El menú era extenso y a un precio razonable. El servicio era rápido, la comida excelente. En general nos pareció que había sido tratado con cortesía excepcional, que los clientes eran muy importantes para ellos, y la comida era abundante y saludable. Recomendamos los brazos preferida.

Just visited this lovely village pub. Great food dog and family friendly. In short a great old English pub with fantastic food, well worth a visit.

Omg wasn't sure what to have as there was so much selection!!! Told the waitress what I fancied and hey presto the most amazing liver,onions,black pudding dish was presented and cooked to perfection!!! Fantastic service fantastic home cooked food!!!!

We booked a table for 7 people and 5 dogs for 7.00 p.m. on a Saturday evening. We were met by the landlady, who greeted the dogs first, then showed us to our table and produced treats and water for them. The pub is obviously a very popular village local but no-one seemed bothered by the dogs being there and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. There was plenty of choice on the menu and the food, served in huge portions, was superb and fairly priced. Nothing was too much trouble and a great night was had by all.​

We were staying at the Blacksmiths down the road and thought we would walk down to check out the other village pub. We were met with friendly welcome from both staff and locals and enjoyed an excellent pint of Sharps Doombar bitter. We did not eat but all the tables were reserved (always a good sign), and there was a lovely smell coming from the kitchen - home made meat pie if I'm not mistaken. Just what a proper village pub should be in my opinion.

Brilliant is all I can say about the whole experience from walking in to walking out so much better than the pub 3 miles away

Fantastic food,friendly atmosphere, amazing service!! A must visit made to feel so welcome and the food is proper home cooked food!!!!

From the friendly welcome, roaring real fire and superb real ales, to the quality and variety of genuinely home cooked fresh food, this is one of the best pubs in the area!!Everyone, including the family pooch is welcome, and not a microwave in sight!

We went as a party, and were served very ample portions of good wholesome food at a very reasonable cost. No arty fancy squirls of nothing but a plate full of traditional English food. Good atmosphere, cosy warm - just the place for a quiet filling meal.

Business meeting with a guy from Michigan, I need typical English pub with big food portions ......WOW! did this place deliver!!! Food superb. Service out standing ,the lady hostess was so friendly, .nothing too much trouble,. I have faith in England once more.....thanks to the lady who was our host...this is on our Company radar.

The pub is situated in a lovely village and ideally situated near the chesterfield canal. The staff are fantastic and the landlord and landlady couldn't be more accommodating which comes in handy when your dining with people who are fuss about their food. They will even make food to requirements if it's nit on the menu. Fantastic place, five star food and good home cooked food with generous portions.

We visited here with friends at the weekend and were pleased we had suggested going. Such a massive choice on the menu it takes ages to decide what to order. The mushroom strogonoff is very good indeed. The portions are so huge that you are not going to manage a dessert! The Adnams ale is as good as ever too

We went to Clayworth for a walk along the canal. Thought we would drop in here for lunch fiirst.Lovely welcome from the landlady who gave us menus and got us seated. Only wanted a light lunch so ordered sandwiches, bowl of chips and a drink. Lovely real fire burning next to us. Not many people in at 1pm on a Satuday- but everyone friendly and chatty. The sandwiches were excellent and chips to die for.Very clean toilets too. Needed to walk afterwards as huge portions. 3 drinks, 3 large sandwiches,1 huge bowl of chips for less than £20. BargainMain meals on next table looked huge and v tempting..

Since we moved our boat to moorings Clayworth last year we have been meaning to get around to visiting The Brewers for a meal but just never quite got around to it until yesterday. We had heard good reports and were pleased to find were able to get a table to eat on a Saturday evening even though we had not booked. There were a number of reserved tables though and we arrived early so I suspect we may have been disappointed later. Concious that I was supposed to be on a diet I chose the salmon fillet in a basil sauce with new potatoes and vegetables. I kidded myself that it was a healthy option :) In fact when food arrived it was a massive portion but it was really so good I had to clear my plate. The salmon was cooked to perfection as were the interesting range of veg. The sauce was sublime! To round it all off we were able to wash it down with a drop of very well kept Adnams Ale. The menu had some interesting options, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and the service can not be faulted. All this within a very traditional English country pub. My only regret is we left it so long before trying this place out! We will certainly be back ... I think my diet will have to suffer.

We were visiting family who have a boat on the local marina and they had heard good things about this place so we decided to try it out.We walked in to a roaring fire which is just perfect on a cold wet evening. The bar lady welcomed us straight away and we sat and looked at the menu. Good choice of food, good prices and the food arrived quickly.The portion sizes were huge and all of us enjoyed the food.If i am being very picky then i wish they had peeled the potatoes better and removed the eyes before making the into the scrummy home made chips.I would certainly return and give the burger ago next time as saw it on another table and it looked very tasty.

I used to frequent this pub over 25 years ago so when visiting friends in the area we decided to call in for lunch having heard good reports from several people who live in the area.It is still a quaint village pub with a lot of atmosphere. The owners are most welcoming and were more than willing to indulge me talking about the history of the pub and previous owners.A very extensive menu as well as a specials board. The food was excellent - four different choices all served quickly, together and piping hot. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meals. The portions were most generous so only three of us managed the ginger sponge which was also very good.A good choice of well kept beer was available.Next time we are in the area we will be calling in.

Saturday morning walk along the canal (7people & 2 dogs). Stopped for lunch at the Brewers Arms. Made very welcome including the dogs. Meal excellent. The whole experience was excellent

I have visited several times and had a great experience every time. The food is home cooked, excellent quality and always plentiful. The owners are very welcoming, and even squeezed us in on Mothers Day at no notice by rearranging the tables and bringing extra chairs from storage.And very importantly, the beer is spot on too!

We had not been to the Brewers Arms for a while, so we booked a table for early evening. The pub was not too busy, but nice atmosphere with friendly locals and welcoming helpful staff. The lady in charge was very helpful with suggestions on the wine list. I had a nice reasonably priced Sauvignon. The room is traditional décor, cosy, with a lovely crackling fire as it was a coolish evening, but it was soon lovely and warm. Our food arrived and it was nicely cooked and presented pub food, just what we wanted, no spots of foams and jus. I ordered rare sirloin, and it was just about rare, very tender, My husband had cod, good size and lovely and white with crispy batter, home made chunky chips, and piping hot. We were well satisfied with our meals and found it good value for money. well done all.

Clayworth is a lovely Nottinghamshire village on the Chesterfield Canal. The Brewers Arms is its pub. To our mind it is the perfect pub. Friendly staff and customers, a good place to go for a chat and a pint, and the food is very good. If you decide to eat, make a point of being really hungry. The portions are huge.

Really nice experience, open fire, cold beer and lovely grub! Enjoyed an amazing gammon melt, nothing like I've ever tried before but truest delicious! Very friendly and helpful staff and even got a good seat next to the fire when we attended on the winter months! Well worth a try

Always go here for the fish and chips and mushy peas. The haddock or cod is beautifully beer battered and absolutely enormous, with hand made tasty chunky chips. Very nicely cooked. Lovely homely old fashioned friendly pub.Especially cosy in the winter with the real log fires.

We have been going to the Brewers since moving into the area a few months ago, having always attended on a Friday or Saturday evening, with largely good experiences. This evening (Tuesday) was a completely different story. Having played it safe with a chicken salad and my wife having a prawn salad, we were appalled when the food arrived. The new potatoes had been microwaved, half were piping hot and half were stone cold. The lettuce was absolutely crawling with little flies and was clearly mouldy. It is such a shame as we will now have to find a new place to eat. Thankfully the bar lady did not charge us for our water and lemonade (very generous...) but there was only a half-hearted apology forthcoming and the staff did not seem as shocked as we were - perhaps it is more common than one imagines? We will certainly never return. It is a rareity that a meal leaves you in tears, but this did just that. I advise all to find somewhere else to eat - anywhere is better than here.

Had a great meal in a very friendly pub, food was obviously home made , just a note of caution I found the portion to be on the large side, the food was very tasty but I found it hard to clear the plate. The staff were very helpful and friendly, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. We took the dog with us and she was welcomed too, will defiantly become a regular visitor. Beer was good too.

we visited the brewers arms for lunch on a recommendation from friends who have been going there since the owners took over 10 years ago, we were greeted with a lovely warm welcome as well as 2 wonderful open fires roaring away with and the Christmas decorations were lovely. Staff were more than helpful and when we asked if we could have smaller portions as we had been told the portion sizes are huge the lady was more than obliging. I must say none of our party was disappointed the food was delicious and all homemade, and the atmosphere was so friendly and relaxed it was superb, we will definatly be returning and recommending to our friends.
