Not sure what’s going on with this place, been shut for nearly a year, no communication from the owners or updates about an opening date. Very sad.

Well, we wanted to go. We sent an email request and, having had no response, we rang and left a voicemail asking for confirmation. As we didn’t hear a peep we went elsewhere - The Kings Head at Tealby actually (which was lovely). As a previous reviewer has said, The Beck used to be lovely. Don’t know what’s happened but this total lack of customer service means we definitely won’t be going again. Disappointing and, some would say, downright rude.

We came for Sunday lunch. Between us we had the lamb, the pork, and the beef. All of the meats were delicious. The vegetables were very tasty (but not traditional/seasonal veg). It could have been improved with more seasonal veg. I’m not a fan of sugar snap peas in my Sunday roast. The veg was undercooked for our liking, but it had flavour. The pub lacked atmosphere. Perhaps the fire could have been lit? The service was excellent and very friendly. The beers were well kept and there was a good choice. It isn’t a carvery anymore (shame about that). A good pub, but with some room for improvement.

I’ve just realised I’ve been visiting The Beck for over 20 years now for both drinks and meals with friends and family and I’ve never written a review! The Beck for me is home from home and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve visited. They say a business is only as good as it’s staff, and maybe this is why The Beck has lasted so long with a reputation for a relaxed atmosphere good food and good service. The staff here are friendly, caring and professional, I’ve never been anywhere where I felt so at home as The Beck. Edward, Julie, Theresa, Kieran and not forgetting Trish in the kitchen make the place what it is! In 20 years I’ve never had a bad meal here, the food is excellent, and today did not disappoint. I was treating my parents and wife to a belated Mother’s Day and Dad’s birthday meal out, I had the lamb roast which was sublime and my dad had the blade of beef which in his words was “melt in your mouth” good! My Wife had a chilli and my Mum had the flat bread, which were also very nice and portions are plentiful. My daughter has Dairy and Soya allergies and wanted sausages and mash however the mash had butter in it so they made it with chips instead, she also cleared her plate! If you want to go somewhere with a nice warm friendly atmosphere and excellent food at very reasonable prices then The Beck is definitely worth a visit.

The breakfasts at The Beck used to be lovely but have become very disappointing.I recently had Eggs Florentine for brunch and found it totally inedible because it was swimming in what is best described as a thin butter sauce. Mentioned this to the waitress when paying and her only comment, though polite, was that if I visited again I could ask for the sauce on the side. My companions had bacon that had been burned to a crisp. I see they are looking for new kitchen staff so hopefully the food will improve. But I won’t visit for brunch again.

Seems hit or miss, had Sunday lunch before Christmas and it was very nice, this time not so. First the bread didn't taste fresh like the previous visit, told the waitress my wife would like the red cabbage omitted but turned out it was omitted for all of us. Charging an extra pound for a Yorkshire to those whom do not have beef is stringy. Paid three pounds extra for pork and beef and all they did this time was replaced one slice of beef with pork. Beef and pork was tasty though small portions this time, roast potatoes OK, veg was very hard, the kale felt like chewing grass, lamb was fatty and tough. Yes I could have complained after the meal but I don't go out to make a scene.

Used to go a lot but this year 2022 we have been disappointed went earlier in the year it was OK although 3 of our party had the gammon and said it was salty. My husband and I went December the menu was poor no specials which were always the best and our food was average the bill was astronomic for what we ate . This restaurant used to be the best in nottinghamshire but now we will not be returning. I understand it is for sale which might account for the poor value

We have a memory from a few, years ago of a busy high class restaurant combined with a bar also serving excellent food. With that in mind we booked for a midweek evening with friends to celebrate our anniversary. It was quiet and the restaurant room was closed. The starter of satay chicken was simple chicken on wooden skewers which we all agreed was plain chicken! On mentioning this to the waitress we were given small pots of satay sauce (fairly obviously from a bottle). Not impressed. Main courses were reasonable but displayed no flair. When I asked for an alternative to garlic butter I was told that the only alternative was parsley butter. Any reasonable chef could easily have come up with an inventive alternative. Service for us was not particularly good. We had to ask to place our order, also to get condiments ( shouldn’t be needed but the satay was totally unseasoned) and had to visit the bar to order a second £27.00 bottle of wine. Sorry, but I expect more for those prices! So….food not living up to what we remembered, but the high price has been retained.

Very , very disappointed to find that one of what used to be one of our favourite places is slipping. Not sure if it’s different owners but the toilets were dirty with stuff all over the door. The table needed a really, good wipe. The food was tasty but some not cooked as well as it used to be. The service was extremely slow and practically non existent-we had to keep asking for various things. I hope it’s a temporary thing but cleanliness should never be compromised.

Covid distancing etc was all applied. We had proper skin on hand cut chips, huge mushroom tomatoes all very yummy. This place is a local diamond and we will be back.

The Caunton Beck has a long standing reputation for good food, and our meals were all good, with price very reasonable due to the "eat out to help out" scheme.Businesses need to work even harder than ever to win customers back whilst COVID risks remain a feature of everyday life for us allUnfortunately, this place does not seem to have got this bit right just yet, so they have not convinced us to return.

Really disappointed to note there was no children’s menu made available. So you are told what’s available with no prices.The female staff we encountered made us feel unwelcome. Comments like” I told you to go inside and read the menu board” “I told you there was no printed menus, its Covid”. I felt like I was at school. An older lady put our food down on the table, with nothing no smile, no enjoy your meal, no request to see if we had everything. Just put down and off she went. Maybe they are not happy to be back at work after lockdown. The food looked nice but fairly under seasoned. Looked better than it tasted. My son has dietary needs, no one spoke to him at all. The lady spoke over him. His meal was awful. He had a burger and the bun was inedible. The server came to collect the food and didn’t mention at all he hadn’t hardly touched it. Chips are on the menu but fries arrive. To me there is a difference. I can get fries from McDonald’s. We wanted resturant quality chips. To me the experience of eating out is as important as the meal quality. Both below par on this occasion. Overpriced and lacking. The only reason I didn’t rate terrible is because the area and building is pleasant.

We had a confirmed booking here, made a couple of weeks ago, for our wedding anniversary. When we arrived at the booked time we found the place closed up with no sign of life. Attempted phone call went unanswered too. Not impressed - the least they could have done was let us know ? ? We wasted an hour travelling to and from on our wedding anniversary.We've been before and it's usually good but I'm inclined to avoid in the future. There are plenty of other good places to eat that treat (potential) customers properly

We took a detour off the A1 to find some lunch, and noticed the sign for the Caunton Beck. So glad that we did!It was a Sunday, and we were lucky to find the one table that hadn't been reserved. There were a good selection of dishes on the board, and decent ales on tap, so we settled down to enjoy our meal. We both plumped for the roast beef, which was a generous and tasty serving, with a nice big Yorkshire pud - veg came in a separate serving dish.For pudding, my husband had the sticky toffee pudding, and I had the lemon posset with red berries, which came with a slice of lemon drizzle cake along with more berries - delicious! At £15 for the two courses, we felt it was very good value.The pub itself is warm and cosy, and the bar staff/servers were also warm and friendly.Great place, and now on our itinerary when we're in the area!

A lovely location; this place looks better in real life than it does from the photos on trip advisor. The Inn has retained a traditional feel despite having been renovated. The food is good and so is the service. Portion size was reasonable, but if the portions had been slightly larger I would have felt that it was better value. The main course was great as the salmon was cooked perfectly, and dessert was delicious. I felt that the starter was a ever-so-slightly disappointing as the pear needed slightly longer poaching, I feel, and also I would have preferred it cored: but perhaps this is just personal taste. I would be pleased to go back.

We visited the Caunton Beck on the 8th for Sunday Lunch having booked (fortunately) as both the pub and the restaurant were full.We chose from the set menu of 2 courses for £15 and 3 for £18 as both of us only wanted a roast.We both had Beef (Topside) which was superbly cooked and plentifully supplied. The meat, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and veg all tasted like the best home cooked meal and although the portions were more than generous we managed to clear our plates. Although we did have to decline the offer of additional vegetables as we wanted to leave enough room for dessert.We again both opted for the same choice of sticky toffee pudding which was excellent. If I was being ultra picky I could’ve done with a touch more ice cream to negotiate the large piece of pudding provided but the dinner, wine, service and prices were all great and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this pub as a great place to enjoy top food in a very friendly atmosphere and environment. Although we don’t live close by we will definitely return.

Trying to find food on a Sunday evening in the area was not easy so thank goodness for Caunton Beck. The pub was very quiet but we understand had been busy early on which probably explained that some mains were not available. Nevertheless we had a good meal with friendly and efficient service. 3 x baked souflee with cheese and bacon and a pigeon breast were our starters. Well cooked and tasty. Lincs sausages and a duck breast followed - again food was very good. Well done - we would return!

As on all our previous visits, food excellent from a menu with a good range of choices. What has happened to the service. Waited 45 minutes, despite several requests, for drinks and our food order to be taken. Some items not available or insufficient portions available. After taking the order food came promptly, so nothing wrong in the kitchen....it’s just front of house. We could have made a run for it without paying and I’m sure the staff wouldn’t have noticed yet (but we are not like that). So calling for the bill was another extraordinarily long wait requiring a trip from table to bar. In summary, this could have ruined a meal but fortunately, we were not pressed for time. Had we have been, or had I had a client with me, I would have been steaming.

We had ham tomato and mustard on granary bread with a mixed leaf salad, we had an extra side of proper chunky chips.It was well worth what we paid lovely crusty bread, home roast ham proper chips, the meals looked well presented and tasty, certainly a place that is proud of their cuisine.

My family and I often visit the beck mainly for drinks as we like the pub it’s location and all the staff are all very friendly and helpful and efficient. Unfortunately this visit we thought we would try some food, which in hindsight was a mistake. The starters were ok, nice enough. But the mains were disgusting. Described as buffalo chicken burger, we all received soggy buns and inside were soggy small pieces of chicken wing/leg meat including grisly bits of tendon and the chicken was just cooked, slightly pink worryingly, I sent mine back and my wife and son left some of theirs. A replacement came that was no better, so I left half that was inedible. The fries that came with it were also under cooked and not hot either. We all went home not feeling too great. But fortunately we were not ill. Such a shame. We will return to the beck for drinks but not food.

Had the set course Sunday lunch menu. Starter was fine, but slightly disappointing main. The beef wasn’t the best cut and rather chewy & too much fat. The roast potatoes had been cooked & kept under a heater lamp for a while as they were not nice and freshly roasted! Not enough gravy, had to ask for more & this was slow coming as the restaurant was busy. Vegetables were ok but one pot between two & not enough! Again had to ask for more & slow to come out. Staff were fine, one of the girls behind the bar could be more cheerful though.

The choice on the menu is good. Starters were good. Our mains were hit and miss. The steaks were great quality however fries were soggy/chunky chips were not what I'd call chips and apart from a bit of watercress and a tomato garnish on a couple of the dishes (but not others) that was it. A bit lacking for the money. The real issue though is the service which is dire. 40 minutes to order. Drinks slow. Gave up on desserts and we were not alone as others were walking out after ordering because it was taking too long. I''d understand if it was busy but it wasn't. It really could be so much better.

Didnt go here in the end, we booked our golden wedding anniversary lunch for family and friends only for the Beck to ring us a week before to warn us that we would have to share the venue with a funeral party of 60 people. We felt very let down and so cancelled.

A typical British pub in a quaint village but with food to the levels you would expect in a top London restaurant.

Visited with our daughter and thoroughly enjoyed our visit . Good selection of beers and wine and the food was excellent and not too expensive . The staff are very friendly and I noticed they allowed you to park there if you had overindulged.

Beautifully situated beside a beck, a charmingly old interior offers a warm welcome, echoed perfectly by the friendly staff. Met family here today for a long lunch - half way between York and Leicester. The meals were superbly presented and absolutely delicious. Recommend the chicken with confit tomatoes and melted Brie; also the gammon and duck egg. Desserts - lemon posset and the sticky toffee pudding also highly recommended. Faultless service and food. We will return!

Went on a Wednesday lunchtime to meet up with six of our friends. The place itself is Avery pretty old building,and once inside it’s very welcoming with a open fireplace.

Lovely atmosphere great service and very good food. Good wine list and I was over the moon to be able to not only have a glass of champagne but have a choice! All three of us enjoyed our meal choices and wine. So glad they are open Sunday evenings and judging by the number of tables in use it’s obviously worth it! Staff very pleasant too. A definite to return to next time we’re in the area.

Plenty of interesting menu choices, great food and a wide choice of wine. Best steak I'd had in ages and the chips were excellent.

This is one of our local pubs that we recently discovered and what a find it is. Brilliant food, super friendly and attentive staff and a place we now go to for diner weekly.

Visited here with family in August having visited a number of times before and not being disappointed, On this occasion we went for Lunch and the food was great quality and a much higher standard than traditional pub food with great specials.

What a wonderful place. Came for a family meal we were seated in the resteraunt. Then we ordered our food and we was not disappointed food was to die for. Starters were amazing. The rack of lamb was cooked to perfection. Deserts was fabulous. Far better than the bottle and glass. The service was good the only slight downside is we didn't get courtesy checked. But overall we had a really great time and we will be returning for sure. Well worth a visit.

Stopped here several times for bar meals in recent months and the food is very good. The selections for starter / main / desert is good and varied, there is 'an early bird' menu also with reduced selection. The goats cheese starter and sea bream main are my favourites. The service by the staff is polite and not intrusive whilst your eating. Food comes on a warm plates (nice). Sitting in the beer garden whilst review the menus is pleasant. Give it a go.

While visiting from the U.S., I frequented the pub, and throughly enjoyed my experience each time. The food was wonderful, the service was excellent, and the people were welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this pub for drinks and dinner.

We were squeezed in that night after calling in the day so granted it was last minute but the table wasn't bad. It was in the bar rather than the restaurant which was fine but we were ignored all night. We had to go to the bar to keep ordering our drinks as we were not offered any, we waited ages for someone to take our order and in between our starter and main. The starter octopus starter was cold and really chewy more chewy than you expect for octopus and the salad to accompany was bland. The mains were good and tasted fine however we were never asked if they were ok. We also waited ages for the bill and ages to pay in the end we went back to bar again. They were slightly busy but not overly busy and the bar staff kept seeing us looking at them and would just busy themselves so they didn't leave the bar. Overall disappointed as we used to go such a lot years a go I think it is tired and the service has gone down hill. Also this cost over £50 for two ok courses which you can get so much better food and service for this kind of money. We won't be returning any time soon.

The pub has a lovely outside seating area and the service was very good. I ordered the burger, which was small for the substantial bun, but what really let the dish down was the quality of the mince, as I had to pick quite a few gristly bits out. It was a real shame as the presentation was great, the chips were really good, and there were some interesting choices on the menu. Would consider giving it another go but would try a different dish next time.

Having visited in May for a birthday treat from a friend where I experienced a great evening (which I should have reviewed then!) I suggested Caunton Beck for Father's Day. Caunton Beck is a warm, friendly and inviting country pub and restaurant. A great menu both visits. A special menu for Father's Day, the choice of food was superb. All the staff were suitably attentive and helpful. A really great place enjoyed by all our party. Thank you.

Staying in the area for a week and always like to try the local village pub. This one has to be one of the best, especially for food. Had lunch on Saturday absolutely amazing pork belly tapas with fries plus mac n cheese and went back the same evening for specialty burger plus a grilled garlic chicken all things worthy of a 10 out of 10 some of the best food ever tasted. Add to that very reasonable prices lovely staff friendly locals and impeccably clean toilets. Wish this pub was in our home town

We stayed at the hotel for two nights to attend a family wedding. The hotel is in the centre of Southwell. It has very nice outdoor seating. We ate on the terrace on the first night and the food was very good. It is a very old building so very traditional. Staff service was superb at all times. The wedding was very well organised. Our room was comfortable and beautifully decorated with a nice bathroom. There is plenty of parking behind the hotel. The points I would make for improvement are :- 1. It was incredibly difficult to book once the wedding couple had requested that rooms should be reserved for the wedding party. This just wasn’t possible by telephone and I ended up writing a letter to request a booking. 2. The top floor rooms were very hot. A fan was provided which was very effective but it was puzzling that the corridor was cool and the rooms were hot. We had to have the fan on most of the time 3. The wedding meal service was a little bit slow. Each guest had a card at the place setting with their chosen dishes and I wonder if the managers could speed up the service by having the dishes listed on the card colour coded? However, we had a really nice stay in a beautiful location. I would definitely stay again and I would recommend the hotel to others looking for a great location for a wedding or other event.

Booked a Saturday night slot, car park very busy, managed the last space! Pleasant lounge bar area before the meal. Bar food served as well, looked decent fayre. Our table in the restaurant was ready on time and a bonus, we were in the “parlour,” best area if you like quiet. Quick service, excellent new Autumn menu, cod croquettes great starter, the salmon fillet excellent, partner enjoyed the chicken breast. Overall pleasant experience, will be returning soon. Booking essential at weekends.

A first class meal, without blaring music, you could really relax and enjoy the conversation . We both chose the steak and it was as good as any I have ever eaten.
