Brownlow Arms in Bassetlaw

Didn't eat this time have before and was good went for the fireworks was great friendly and a great show

I love it here. Really cosy & friendly

Go here every September due to the fact it holds a motorcycle rally. Always have a good time. Evening meals on both Friday and Saturday evenings were very good, and value for money. To be honest, never been here at any other time but it also has a campsite next door literally 1 minute walk, with a good playground for children. Few steps to get inside though, but there are tables outside and in the garden at the side.

Very friendly and good service.

Lovely beer - fantastic food - nice setting - gets very busy during the season. Genuinely impressed on multiple visits in 2023. Book early so as not to be disappointed. And there's a river nearby

Nice pub near the river trent good food and service Motor holmes and caravan electric hook up ⁰

Marvellous place the landlord and people are so friendly

Great pub, great food, great service and ales are the icing on the cake. The outdoor area is fantastic for the kids and it’s dog friendly. Can’t wait to go back, the ribs were delicious!

Excellent service and food as always from Paul and Margaret x

Came with a work colleague for an afterwork catch up and the place was lovely and the owners most welcoming, 100% recommend. We attend on a rainy winter day, but it is on an amazing location for a sunny day!

Great atmosphere lovely staff friendly not laughed so much in ages x

Shower and toilet facilities not the best when camping.

We went for some food around 4ish last Sunday (27/8/23)but they stopped serving food around 3ish. It's seems a very popular pub especially with a caravan park close by. Worth a try. It were the first time we visited the pub. But another day we will go earlier to try the food.

Sunday lunch is lovely but even the small one take some eating

Good bar n food on the Trent. Gr8 atmosphere n live music.

Great food, quick service and great atmosphere. The bar area gets busy at the weekends but then it is a popular place!!!

We didn't eat we just biked there from Burton water, lovely pub and atmosphere. Clean toilets. We would have liked to have stayed for the band

The place was busy but service and food was great

Our group of four went to The Brownlow Arms for a meal in the early evening. The pub setting is nice in a quiet small village and first impressions were good. We ordered from their extensive bar menu and were very pleased with the food. All four dishes were very tasty, served on hot plates, by the landlord, who could not have been friendlier. We will definitely return.

Awesome place really friendly love By Mr Chris Wright

Nice place. Great outdoor area . Not had food ,so can't comment .Will certainly have a ride out for Sunday lunch ........ Finally got round to going back for Sunday lunch. Had a great ride , then to the pub for a Sunday lunch. All I can say is it was great... The whole experience was top dog. The Sunday roast was excellent. But no room for a dessert. ALL staff great very helpful. They about to start midweek meals ,from Wednesday .So we will be having a ride out midweek for another test run lol .

My go to pub when I'm out for a ride. Excellent beer and chilled surroundings.

We came last night and had the best fish and chips I've had in years ! Thank you..

Fantastic pub, great service, and excellent food. All do camping,caravan, and motorhomes plots.

Great pub close to the Trent. Good camping.

Sunday lunch was lovely and a fair price

First night in a motorhome. Brilliant choice - really friendly, great pie!! Pretty site, ace pub, thanks

Such a unique proper country pub that is a real great place to chill out with good beer and company.. Food is good and great value.. Great riverside location with huge lawned beer garden and stuff for the kids.. Unique splendid pub of the old school style

Decent pint of real ale - would recommend

Fantastic place for a relaxing break next to the river trent

Although I went there for a few drinks after the sad passing of a friend, I was impressed by the friendliness of the locals, the beers were good, the buffet was also good, its an interesting pub full of character and characters. Looks an ideal place for families to go to with a big garden with lots of tables and playground equipment, if I lived locally it would be my first choice.

Just the real ale choice we've been looking for 👍

Lovely Sunday lunch. 2 roast meats, roast & mashed potatoes, 5 vegetables, Yorkshire pudding & stuffing & crackling for the pork. Dog friendly too. Brought back lots of memories. Used to be my regular pub when I was in my 20's. 😎👍🍻

Beer not good, same for the toilet s, pity good venue

Always a pleasure to visit.good selection of drinks on offer.food is of good standard.sited on a river bank in the sticks...very rural.

Enjoyed my visit, but the Beer could be improved

Very friendly atmosphere and child friendly

Lots of fun and great location.

Brill afternoon live bands on for air ambulance fund some top musicians

A cheap, friendly pub by the river side. Full of happy campers today and appears like its always busy during weekends and holidays due to being the only pub for miles and having a camp site adjacent. Good for walking up the Trent to the nearby viaduct and returning for a well-earned beer.

Visiting a local wedding venue. We called in, as it's the closest pub, for refreshments. A little run down but the beer is perfectly acceptable. Appears to service a camping community. Nice spot near the boat club.

Good pub, great for dog walking along the river. Beer well kept, unsurprisingly as it is in the Good Beer Guide for a second year.

Great place with lovely beer and food..we were there when live music was on... fantastic atmosphere..

Great service and great value 👏

Had a 30 mile cycle ride round trip from Lincoln and ended up here for Sunday lunch . It was a lovely day so sat out to eat. I had the roast lamb which was absolutely delicious..tasty and tender and a lovely large portion. My cycling friends chose the beef and the pork and were all impressed with the portion size. My lamb dinner was under £10. Pork was £7.50 and beef £8. Faultless! Set us up for the 15 mile journey home. Will definitely be back to eat. There is also a camp site on site..which is situated next to the river Trent, perfect for long walks!

Called in for a meal during cycle ride. Great beer, and fantastic meals. (Sunday lunch) Staff very nice and welcoming. Will definitely visit again especially for a meal.

This place is a little gem food is great atmosphere is lovely with very friendly locals It could do with some updating to. Lovely campsite setting overlooking the trent

Lovely place. Great bar staff great pint

Friendly staff. Food not bad either 😋.

Good selection of beers and decent food. An out of the way pub. Camping available.

Brilliant site. Very friendly. Nice food. Great fun for kids.

Good pub with decent food in a lovely setting

Friendly relaxed atmosphere, great location. The food was excellent. Credit to the young chef.

I really don't know where to start. We were camping for the weekend here and our experience really was quite surreal, the place has been let go to the wall. It is filthy, poor facilities and the food was just awful, that topped off with a landlady that appeared to be drunk at teatime. I'm sorry to write a review like this but felt compelled to.

Great atmosphere..live on campsite and go for a cool draught, wht could be better!!

Great friendly pub with campsite on the banks of the river Trent.. Good, well priced food and drink, excellent boating and fishing...

Good little pub on a decent camp site

Good food and a good selection of beers, waiting staff excellent all very efficient and polite. Overall a very good Sunday lunch.

Camped as a group. Got my car stuck on a metal pole that was hidden in the overgrown grass along the side of the field. There were a few holes, one was so big they put a traffic cone in it instead of filling it in. Apart from that it's not too bad but you do need decent tent pegs as it's very hard ground. The pub was an even worse experience. I have never been anywhere where the service was so bad and unwelcoming. Me and a friend booked a table for 6.30pm, we were shown to a table in a different part of the pub to the rest of our group. 3 staff stood behind a bar while we waited to order drinks. Eventually we got a drink, the diet coke was so flat it was undrinkable. The people on the table next to us had waited 2 hours to get their meals and one lady had to ask for hers to be warmed up. At 7.45pm we asked how long ours would be and was told 2 minutes. At 8.30pm we were still waiting,cancelled our order and went back to the tent to find something to cook after waiting 2 hours with a flat coke. The others in our group, in the other side of the pub had just been served after waiting 2 hours. The staff never smiled, the service was appalling, drink was rubbish and I can't comment on the food as it never arrived!! The following day the toilet/shower room was locked and bolted so that we didn't have anywhere to go to when we needed the loo. Later it was reopened, I'm guessing there would have been complaints. One toilet was blocked and out of order with a sign on the door. There was still one toilet in good working order but we had been denied that. The toilets were never cleaned by staff, there was no toilet paper, nothing to dry your hands on, no hot water to wash your hands and we had to put water into the hamdwash bottle as it had run out. The other campers on the field were very friendly and welcoming, the staff in the pub unfortunately were not!

Totally under-whelming facilities

Staff are very welcoming and very pleasant. Lovely time thanks all x

Just helping my mate set up trailer tent, lovely place tho

Only went in the beer garden / camping area. Music was playing, the sun was shining and the one drink I had was spot on. They do food too, but didn't stay long enough to try that. Great setting.

Great place fantastic staff even the trainees are doing there best highly recommended and great for camping as well 👍👍🍻🥃🎶🎉

Staff poorly trained regarding Covid or Beers sold. ( Could just be new staff teething problems). However... inside, no Covid guidelines being followed, no masks on staff. Typical low quality, lip service being paid.

Love this place. About a fourty minute drive for us. But well worthwhile for a Sunday roast

Nice and clean friendly staff nice food.

Excellent pub and services, outstanding homemade traditional food. Beautiful setting.

Camping prices not as advertised on website . Toilets and facilities unisex but cleanliness levaes a lot to be desired Booked 2 pitches side by side but when we were set up decided to to move the other pitch site because they wanted to fit in other people who turned up without booking. Don't usualy give reviews but think people should know

Great pub great location really friendly service definitely call again

Great pub very friendly service 👌 👍

Lovely place with campsite right next door. Had social distancing measures in place.

Friendly, great service, good atmosphere, good beer.

Really delicious, huge portion for sunday dinner, in a lovely area bang on.

Good little drinking pub got some good beers on 2 real ale on as well frindly staff

Great food and good selection of drinks

This pub has been pulled from its knees by a new staff who care.. and what a huge diffrence its made.The food is something they can shout about its goood. the ales are spot on. the staff always friendly. ( you now get a free welcome smile..) And the locals dont bite. Good camping , good hookup sites, Even a small lake for the kids to fish, (A adult must be with them) little buggers.. I cannot say a wrong word bout this pub..or food, ales, or staff. Well done...T13..

What a gem of a pub. Lovely atmosphere, almost the best Guinness in the UK I've had, and the food was really really good. The new chief really knowns his trade and the portion sizes are very generous. Beautiful location, family friendly, great beer and lovely food. Proper British pub

Amazing food and really reasonable prices. All freshly cooked, nothing frozen! Will definitely be back.

Brilliant place go and see for yourself i highly recommend visiting😂😂

Been there twice before camping and good meals etc. This time wasn't told there was no food, toilets/showers terrible, no toilet paper for 2 days. No cleaning done. No elsan point. Shame as lovely setting. Still took our money though

As of today 22nd July 2019 this pub is under new ownership. I trust the pub will continue to be Great with pub grub and smashing staff once the new owners settle in. My previous review was as follows ....The pub has it's own style which makes a more interesting visit. Plus a touring caravan site and kids play area and there is a speed boat and water skiing club on the river Trent just a few hundred yards to the front of the pub. We eat here about once a week, and today had the deep pan spicy chicken pizza and I think it's the best i've ever had....right up my street, so photo added.

Needs a good clean, everything sticky. Chairs wobbly. An update wouldn't go a miss. No EE signal here and was surprised that there was no Wi-Fi in the bar area. Was going to eat here but took so long to get a coffee to the table, and that the tea came in a lipstick marked mug! We decided to go elsewhere for our meal.

Great campsite, free and easy weekend, very relaxing. Excellent food in the pub. Highly recommended

Nice friendly pub near river, good motorhome stopover

Over crowded people parked were they liked constantly telling kids to stop kicking ball against van parents just as bad toilets iwould not let a pot bellied pig go to an the worst thing beer was not up to much

Fantastic food and atmosphere and caravan site beautiful will be back

Love this place. Very friendly people. Really good home cooked food & amazing prices. Brilliant outdoor play area but not for toddlers

Beautiful food, beautiful location would highly recommend.

This is one of the best pubs for food I've ever stopped at. Really cheap and really good food. Brill. 10/10.

Best local I've been to. It's even dog friendly and good walks to be had. Will be trying the food soon and a many more pints

Lovely place and welcoming host but in need of serious updating

Fantastic pub...lovely location...lovely landlord...lovely food....

We spent there one night in August in the camping for about 10 pounds and the staff there , were really nice with us. The Children enjoy it very much. We would love to come back again.

Absolutely fabulous highly recommend

Nice friendly pub near the river. Great menu selection and the food is good. Holds some regular events as has camping.

We camped here. Brilliant pub and good cheap food

Oldy worldy pub friendly staff dog friendly pub give this place a try the food is amazing and drinks are too! Might want to bring your caravan and stay over as the drinks are quite potent..around £15 per night with electric hook up amazing place for kids to run wild and have fun right by the the river trent beautiful countryside location

We went to a bike rally there and were welcomed by all

Gone downhill. Waited over an hour for my meal. The rest of my party had finished theirs so I ate alone with hardly an apology from the staff. Disgusting camping facilities too, toilets and showers were minging. Used to love it here but don't think I'll be going till some if the profits have been spent on the people's facilities who provide the profits! The meal was paid for when we ordered it. My daughter waited over 1 hour for a plate of cheesy chips and hers, along with mine and my wife's, and our other two families of friends were all ordered AND PAID FOR at the same time. Mine came half an hour after my daughters who waited over an hour for hers! I brought 2 other families with us on my recommendation and felt I'd let them down, I could see their disappointment. This revue is edited as the Brownlows reply stated inaccurate comments and actually accused us of not paying! Endé me duck!
