Honey and Fig in Bassetlaw

First time visiting this little place, it looks tiny on the outside but really spacious on the inside, lovely feel to the place, warm and friendly and the décor was particularly splendid, not what you expect from the outside. I was passing through very quickly and I really needed a coffee and a quick snack, I was greeted and seated with friendliness, the coffee was amazing, piping hot and much nicer than the chain coffee shops! I had a slice of cake, and this gave me the sugar hit I needed, it was delicious and left me wanting another slice but then is any slice of cake big enough? Perhaps I was just having a greedy day either that or just wishful thinking! Now this was perfect all of this and warrants 5 stars, until you go upstairs, no accessible toilets that I could see, up nearly 2 flights of stairs past the kitchens (which is good to see them at work) the toilet wasn't the cleanest I had been in, the seat was stained and needed replacing, dust can't be helped but this was dust you could write your name in and literally make a dust bunny out of it! It really needs addressing, nice that they have sanitary products but do they really need to lay in a box full of dust and dirt? The sink and taps have seen better days too. First impressions really do count, this could be such a perfect little gem but some simple things really do need to be adjusted and made more hygienic. I am not sure if I will return or not due to not living here, but I can promise you that you will receive a lovely warm welcome and an amazing cup of coffee. If you don't need the loo when you are there, you'll never know about the stuff I have mentioned. Go and see for yourself, support local companies instead of the big brands!

Great food and service. All staff really friendly and great food always served fresh. All customers receive a warm welcome.

There was a sign to wait to be seated, so we waited for about a minute before someone shouted over to just take a seat but that is my only complaint. Oh, and that the veggie sausage for my mum was a bit overcooked. Other than that the food was lovely, service great, clean and nice atmosphere in the middle of town.

We were staying in the area and fancied breakfast. Despite being very busy the staff were very good and rejigged the tables to meet our needs. We all ordered the Traditional Full English and weren't disappointed. The food quality was spot on and well presented. The staff were very friendly especially, and sorry that I didn't get your name, the Scottish lady. We will be back.

We had a lovely full English breakfast. Good price and great service. We will definitely visit again. ................

Food and coffee was good but the attitude of the staff (assume manager) is somewhat to be desired. Will not be returning cause of this.

Wouldn’t recommend to anyone. As soon as we walked in we could see that it was busy. We thought this was a good sign. We sat down by ourselves, not even seated, to only one napkin placed on the table and 2 sets of cutlery that wasn’t polished and just placed on the table by itself. There was no menu so we sat there for a solid 5 minutes to then get told by other customers that you go and get them from the desk yourself. Still high hopes at this point… Another 5 minutes passes by and a waitress took our order. We both ordered avocado and poached eggs. The waitress was polite, no complaints there. Time passes by and our food arrives. One slice of sourdough bread with no butter, covered in spinach with a non ripe avocado topped with one hard poached egg. Our faces dropped. The bread could’ve broken teeth. We was really disappointed with our egg and we was that upset we didn’t complain as we both just wanted to get out asap. After we finished, our plates and cups were still kept in front of us. Isn’t professional at all. As a waitress, you clean and take care of customers. Instead, staff were standing behind the desk talking and eating. I went up to to till to pay and it came to an outstanding £27.90 which is absolutely outrageous. I could’ve cried when she told me the price, I would’ve much rather have not bothered. Overall, friendly staff and lovely environment but wouldn’t recommend in the slightest.

Right on the high street - we had stopped as a break on a long journey. Lucky to find an excellent place. Sandwiches, wraps and panini were very good and served beautifully. Chips were not fantastic but did not spoil the meal as everything else was so good.

Fantastic brunch today at Honey and Fig! Staff were super friendly and service was really quick! Food was great and our children were made to feel really welcome! We’ll be back!

Went to visit honey and fig yesterday (Thursday 15th) and I will definitely be back. The manager and rest of the staff were so lovely, very welcoming and quick to see us. There was so much food to choose from. I will be visiting very soon and bring my friends along

We've been to the Honey & Fig brasserie in Retford a number of times and never experienced a problem. Today things were slightly different. It was a bright summer's day so we expected the brasserie to be rammed packed. There were a couple of people sitting outside in the sun but only 4 others inside. Bonus we thought, we can get a table. We were quickly given a choice of tables, offered the menus from which we ordered two coffees, a single-shot Americano and a Flat White. We sat waiting for a short while and then became aware of a lot of chatter coming from the counter area. When we looked over we could see all the staff ( a gaggle of young women) having a laugh, a joke and a chat. The young woman working as the barista was leaning on the counter chatting to another member of staff on the other side completely oblivious to us and our order. She saw us looking at her and, with a sheepish look on her face, quickly turned to the coffee machine to make our coffees. I'm afraid I have one of those faces, the way it hangs I think, that gives a strong impression of displeasure, and I think that's what may have come across today. The management should ensure that the staff are clear that orders come first and time for chatter is for the slack times and not necessarily on the shop floor. Not a very satisfactory experience for us I'm afraid. We noticed that another coffeeshop had opened up directly opposite the Honey & Fig so will probably try that one next time instead. This may also account for the lack of customers when we arrived which didn't change during our visit.

This is one of the best places for great food in Retford and I go whenever I'm visiting the town centre. So when it came to organising my friends baby shower, I thought I would enquire about their upstairs room to hire for the afternoon. Such a reasonable place and the room is gorgeous!. The staff were fantastic, and the manager kept in touch in the lead up and arranged all the pre-orders. We had a fabulous afternoon, and I would not hesitate to recommend this place. Amazing food, great customer service, and friendly staff. Thank you, Honey & Fig!

What a wonderful friendly establishment, staff are always very pleasant and helpful and the food is amazing nothing is too much trouble and the owners and staff go out they're way to have a chat. One of my favourite places to visit every week. X

Went here for lunch with my daughter and sister, been several times before and always enjoyed it, but today our experience was shocking, firstly the staff just didnt care , they never made sure we had knifes and forks, brought our drinks one at a time , our food took so long my daughter had to eat fast and get back to work ,( she had an hour) we ordered panini, muffin and my sister had scrambled egg on toast( not hard to do) this came cold and the bread was rock solid she couldn't chew it, no staff came over to do a check that everything was ok, so when they finally took the plates she explained it wasnt good, the staff shrugged and said that's how it comes, ( burnt)when we got to the till she said again about it not being good but they just ignored her , when she came to pay she exclaimed it was a joke, the girl behind the till remarked she had been rude but still took the money , the manager joined in saying how rude we both was and to please leave, strange behaviour, customer care at its finest , we will most definitely not be going back

After waiting 40 minutes our meal was brought to the table. My meal was a simple scrambled eggs on toast. Unfortunately my toast was cooked to the point of being burnt black and extremely hard. I could not cut through the crust and had to leave all of the toast except for a little bit in the middle that had been slightly softened with the butter and scrambled eggs. We did not receive a call back to check if the meal was satisfactory. When the waitress came to clear the table I remarked that my meal was not very good due to the bread being so very over cooked and hard. To this the waitress remarked that yes soar-dough can do this and left with the plates. When I approached the till to pay, I again raised my dissatisfaction with the staff serving me ( there was two staff behind the counter at that point) the member of staff that took my money said ‘yes I saw your plate’ and proceeded to take my payment without offering any resolution to my dispute. During my payment I remarked that I found the situation a joke. Immediately the member of staff accused me of being rude to the manager? This remark confused me for a second ( apparently the Manager was the other member of staff behind the counter stood along side this member of staff) I was astonished at the reaction and asked why she thought me to be rude? She replied that I simply shouldn’t have made the remark ‘a joke’ and refuse to have paid and that I should have asked to see the Manager- ( whom without my knowledge had been standing with this member of staff listening to the whole conversation??) I replied that I had raised my concerns but I had not been offered any resolution and was asked to pay for the meal. The Manager then remarked that she would like me to leave the establishment as she found me to be rude. I am still reeling by my experience and would never go back again- I am truly speechless at the treatment that I have received.

Great place, lovely coffee & cakes. Very good service. Great place to sit and watch the world go by. Lemon drizzle is a must

Amazing place for food. Really friendly staff and very attentive. Prices reasonable and would definitely go back

Excellent food and good coffee / tea. Greeted at the door before being seated at a table of our choice. Very friendly service. Will definitely return.

If you're in Retford, definitely stop in here. Beautifully decorated, it caught our eye walking up the street. The people working here are super friendly, efficient and so helpful. From the greeting the moment we walked in to the super helpful advice and great conversation, it couldn't have been better. I was visiting from Ireland and in need of breakfast having left home at 3am, the food and coffee really hit the spot. It was exactly what I needed. Thank you to all.

We popped in for breakfast as it was a rare occasion that both my wife and myself had a Saturday off work. We were greeted nicely and seated . The waitress started to take our order and then spotted something that must have been more important and excused herself and walked away. She reappeared a minute later to finish taking the order. All good so far, the coffees turned up, a little on small size for the price, but ok , cost of living and all that. We sat and waited for the all day breakfasts we had ordered and then we noticed tables that had come in after us were being served, so after a total of 45 minutes I asked how long it would be before we could get our order and was told it didn’t print out so it wasn’t being cooked. So a total of 55 minutes and £7 down, we paid and left. This was our first visit and it would take a lot for me to make a second one.

We visited on day out meeting friends in Retford. The staff were very friendly and took our order straight away. The food was lovely and the decor delightful, it made for a really good atmosphere. I will definitely visit again when in town!

Located on Carolgate, in the centre of Retford is this lovely cafe, it is open 7 days a week, with excellent and different varied menus served throughout the day. Serving breakfasts from 8:30 AM, brunches and afternoon teas, we came for breakfast before we had...

A very clean and presentable cafe with friendly and efficient staff providing excellent service. I enjoyed a lovely and very reasonably priced espresso with a delicious piece of vegan carrot cake. There are also several savoury vegan options on the menu.

This was our first visit to Retford and called here for lunch. Impressed with covid arra gements, felt safe. The food was very good, tasty savoury croissant. Staff were polite and service was good.

Popped in for Brunch on Friday. Advise to book a table as often people are waiting. Great food. Ideal for brunch. Something a little different. Pleasant and efficient staff. Really enjoyed it.

Having tried this place Just before lock down it’s now our go to place in Retford. The scones in the cream tea are truly the best we have ever had, so light. They have a varied menu with something for all tastes and appetites, service is good, efficient and friendly.

We went to this tea room for a light lunch whilst shopping in Retford. The staff were friendly and welcoming and although we hadn't booked we were shown a nice table for two. The service was excellent ordering the drinks and food, both of which were served promptly, well cooked, nicely presented and tasted very good. If we ever visit Retford again we would certainly visit this tea room again. Highly recommended.

Contact details were taken and a table was pre booked Average food not a great choice on the menu - thought that the seating area was not adhering to the social distancing

Met some friends here for an afternoon catch up. Food was lovely and drinks were superb. Clear covid restrictions in place, would happily return

Booked for afternoon tea with my sister & nieces and had a great experience The table was set ready for us before we arrived and the staff had good social distancing & cleaning in placeThe food was delicious- 3 types of sandwich for each of us, lovely light scones & 3 cakes each (gorgeous macaroons!)Really good value - even before the half price 'eat out to help out' deal we benefitted from! Staff were very helpful and there was no trouble in ordering extra drinksAll in all a great experience

Came for brunch with a work colleague and it was fab! Lovely food, fab service and they adhered to all social distancing and COVID 19 ‘rules’

I love this little cafe in Retford! The interior is lovely and so are the staff! They have plenty of lunch options and cakes and cater for vegans and vegetarians too! They have a coconut iced latte recently which tastes amazing! 100% recommend!

Daughter treated us to a take away afternoon tea ,everything was gorgeous apart from the carrot cake which was awful, this being my husband's favourite was a real disappointment to him

My family and I decided to try this on Saturday as it looked inviting.We were greeted at the door and they put two tables together for us. The staff were really friendly.The children had breakfast wraps. Yes they were £7.00 each and you can get one half the price at McDonald’s but you wouldn’t get the quality that you did here. They were not greasy and seemed to be high quality meat.The teacake was lovely and the ham and cheese croissant were equally lovely.The drinks though are small cups and I prefer larger drinks. We ordered a second round of coffees and although these are the same price they didn’t come with the quaint little biscuit as the first round had. Toilets are a trek up two flights of stairs but I suppose they can’t help where they are. It was a lovely experience the drinks and food and we’ll be back.

From the moment you walk in to Honey & Fig there is a warm welcome, the staff are happy and friendly, it’s a really nice atmosphere. The service is excellent and the food delicious. I highly recommend the vegetarian breakfast, it was served hot and was very tasty, no grease on this plate, it was cooked perfectly.I will definitely be returning, call in, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended.

Lovely little find! Warm welcome nice ambiance and atmosphere. Friendly attentive staff, good varied menu.

Visited today for lunch with some friends and a baby, staff were really helpful and nice, got a highchair straight away.Amazing choice of drinks, including a full tea menu. Food is very fresh and good portions, I ordered a panini and chips, chips were super fresh and hot. My friend ordered off menu and staff were more than happy to cater for as well as a great vegan menu. We only wish one of their cake choices were chocolate!

A right little hidden gem in Retford 👍👍 ...Young staff with impeccable manners & amazing service, lovely food to boot ..Go & enjoy you won’t be disappointed.. Cheers Guys 👏👏👏👏

Fab surprise for my birthday; afternoon tea. Lovely surroundings, great company and attentive staff. Glass of Prosecco and as much tea, coffee etc as you want. Afternoon tea was lovely. I especially enjoyed the brie sandwiches and the scones. Great selection and all good quality produce. So much we could not eat it all. Highly recommended

Called here this morning for breakfast...was really busy...place is clean and nicely decorated throughout...our order was taken quickly and food arrived quickly..i had full english breakfast.my wife had eggs benedict..both were freshly cooked and really tasty..both meals were large..tea was served in a large pot...not the cheapest place for breakfast but i highly recommend you try this place..top notch

We have walked past this place a number of times, it's always looked lovely and intriguing.Decided to go today for the first time; for brunch....... As we walked through the door we had no idea if we were supposed to find our own table, or whether staff seat you. I spoke to a young lady who told us to sit where we like, but not a friendly hello or welcome in sight!We sat at a small table for the three of us (with our young daughter), and waited far more than 5 minutes, not once approached by any staff member. I ended up walking to the counter to collect a menu, and had to return several minutes later for a childrens menu. I questioned at this point whether it was table service or whether I needed to return to order and to be fair to the guy, he came to the table a couple of minutes later for our order.To cut a long story short we ordered our food. It was presented well and tasted great, despite the fact they got out order for our 2 year old wrong (not sure how you mistake one slice of toast and one piece of bacon for something else), they agreed to deduct the wrong items from the bill. They did check the food was ok after a few minutes and that we were happy.At the end of the meal, I approached the till to pay. Paid the same guy and no positive, friendly or particularly warming goodbye or attentive service.My rule is...... friendly appreciation of your customers goes a long way, that tiny bit of decent, common practice costs nothing, but makes the world of difference.Sorry to say I wont return again as you're clearly not that interested in your customers. In a town packed with cafes and eating places, I would expect politeness and great customer service to be top of your list.To conclude, food was great, reception and etiquette far from it!

Visited on Monday morning for a cream tea. The tea was fine however the fruit scone was dry / stale and re-warmed, quite obviously from the last weeks stock. Neither me or my wife could eat them after the first taste. Despite our plates being left full we were not asked by the waitress or man on till if everything was ok..They clearly saw the leftovers and chose not to ask...To be fair we have been here before and had better service and food.

While shopping in town and need a place to rest and have a bite. This is the place to be steak toasties and cheese toasties plus salads. Great coffee and a lot cheaper than rival up the road. Nice Place

I had a lovely lunch here during the week. It was busy but there was no slow service. Everything was reasonably priced and the Brownies were to die for!! Great place to stop for a bite.

Although there was no vegan option the super friendly and helpful waitress (the one wearing a headscarf?) was happy to make one off menu for me, and it was delicious! Tasty food in very pleasant surroundings, lovely staff, and right in the middle of town!

I have become a vegetarian breakfast expert sampling breakfasts in and out of Nottinghamshire. Today was my first visit to Honey & Fig, with my 83 year old mum. It was very busy at 1130, that’s always a good sign, the lovely staff noticed us straight away and welcomed us, bringing the menus over and ordering the drinks within 5 minutes. We ordered two vegetarian breakfasts, the atmosphere as we waited was lovely, the staff very happy and friendly, the decor was really nice and it was all very clean. The vegetarian breakfast was very generous, we didn’t expect it to be so big, it consisted of; two vegetarian sausages, 2 hash browns, a fried egg, halloumi cheese, mushrooms and beans, with toast, I opted for gluten free bread which was tasty. The food was served very hot, nicely presented on a big plate, a delicious non greasy vegetarian breakfast. We will definitely return here, first impression, very positive!

Great food, very pleasant staff and good atmosphere. Staff happy to adapt recipes for allergies or preference. Reasonable price too.

Food it pretty good, not the best but up near the top. Service was really good especially when Lawerence was serving

Welcoming polite friendly staff and the food was really tasty. However no disabled toilet facilities which we needed for a member of our party however would visit again.

Had scone ..but not home made as expected so was disappointed the presentation was clean so could not complain about what was given.It does say everything home made though in cafe.

Visited as walk ins on a whim, started with excellent flat white coffees and had a salmon and a chicken salad which were Jorge delicious and generously sized. Coffees so good we had a second round. Lovely cafe with friendly service!

Lovely place excellent coffee and tea cakes. Friendly staff Have bought gift vouchers for friends very accommodating.

What a fabulous place, not only cool on a red hot day but the menu had an excellent selection of food. From croissants filled with goats cheese, to America style waffles with fruit and savoury toppings.

We went on a recce to Retford as my parents are moving out that way. Food was high on our agenda by the time we wandered the high street, and Honey and Fig looked just the type of relaxed yet enjoyable place for a pitstop. We weren’t disappointed. They offer a great range of different teas (my partner tried the White Chocolate aroma) and also various soft drinks and alcoholic beverages (I opted for tasty ginger beer). My brie and chutney sandwich was delicious, on a lovely soft bloomer with a side salad more generous than some establishments provide. My partner enjoyed poached egg and spinach on toast, followed by a tasty millionnaire slice (beautifully presented). Besides the food and drink, retro music adds to the relaxed atmosphere of the establishment. The perfect place for breakfast, lunch or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

Most enjoyable,atmosphere is good the staff are pleasent the meals area winner for me we have been in several times now and enjoyed every trip.

I used an afternoon tea gift voucher for 2 for my afternoon tea, but the service left a lot to be desired. I was quite excited, because I've had delicious sandwiches here before and the service was good, but not good time, on several counts.

We have been visiting here since it opened, when we first went and the few times after this the quality and portion of the food and drinks was excellent as was the service, however, the past 2 times we have visited the quality and quantity of the food has become poorer and less. Initially the toasted teacakes used to be 3 halves, now its only 2, however, the price has not been reduced to reflect this. This is the same with many of the dishes offered in a morning, today we visited again, met by a grumpy and rather abrupt member of staff, not seen her before, asked her for the teacake to be toasted a little more as they are barely toasted, she replied the toaster can't do it more as it just burns, I said it toasted it better last time I was here and I don't want it untoasted. She huffed. To be honest if the chef can't cook a toasted teacake as the customer wants it they need to go back to chef school or buy a new toaster. The lattes were barely warm and the other meals which my son and husband had did not reflect the ones they had been given on previous visits thieir meal was the open breakfast sandwich with some barely cooked bacon and a couple of sausages and supposidly toasted bread this cost £6.95, not at all worth it. The bacon used to be bacon medallions now it is fatty and not good quality bacon. To be honest not sure I am going to return as the service from this new person (with alot of tattoos) is poor, the cost of the food is high, the quality and quantity dropping upon each visit. This used to be nice, think we will have to find somewhere else for our regular Saturday morning breakfast as there are plenty of places in Retford.

A lovely little find on the high street. Nice atmosphere and good service. The food was decent too. Especially with a nice glass of wine!

Very clean place however,when the crockery arrived my cup was dirty. They obliged in getting another,but how was it missed in the first place.The staff were very welcoming and very friendly.we were there for lunch and had ordered ceasar salad, paninis and I had a chicken sandwich served with salad and coleslaw. It was very tasty,the coleslaw in paticular, with chunks of chicken however the salad was more of a garnish than a "served with"overall a good visit

Stopped by with the family for Lunch. Place was absolutely heaving, staff really friendly and attentive. Food was great will definitely be back, and definitely recommend.

Called in just for a coffee. Lovely coffee and friendly staff. Decor is nice and it has a lovely relaxed feel to it. A lot of folk were eating breakfast and it all looked lovely. Will be popping in when I go into Retford. Thanks. X

We had spent the morning at Clumber Park and decided to have lunch else where. We popped into Retford and happened upon the Honey and Fig. The place was fairly full when we arrived, only 2 spare tables. We found one near the counter and were quickly welcomed and given a menu. There was a good choose of baguettes, salads, panini's, jackets as well as the specials board with burgers and a salmon dish. I had a jacket potato and my husband had the burger, the food and drinks arrived quickly and were freshly made making them tasty. The food was excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful. An enjoyable meal and I will definitely be popping back when I'm next in Retford.

We visited today, Sunday, for a spot of lunch. Steak and Mushroom panini each and very tasty they were too. Service was prompt and friendly. It mystifies me however that such a cafe can run out of Diet Coke and orange juice - there’s a supermarket around the corner!

Because of its glossy black paintwork exterior, one doesn’t easily notice the large former shop windows of yet another new restaurant and coffee shop on Carolgate in Retford. In my experience, this type of sombre colouring may be considered “cool”, but it soon loses its surface shine , due pollution, unless it is regularly washed down and touched up. I was looking for a bit of gaiety and colour in the street.
