Visiting from down South, we quickly googled somewhere to eat after a lovely morning in a nearby country park. We chose to check out The Ollerton House, and are so pleased we did. From the moment we stepped into the pub, the barmaid was very friendly and welcoming all the way until we left. Thank you! The food was cooked fresh, presented well, and was delicious, enjoyed all round!

Impromptu call in while driving past. Carvery sandwich with beef gravy and roast potatoes. Service was brilliant, very helpful, and polite. Lovely pint of Guinness. Price was well worth it. Carvery looked gorgeous and £9.50 in the week and £10.50 on Sunday. Great price. 👍 definitely a thumbs up.

A fabulous Sunday carvery today. Visited with my parents and 2 children (1 has special needs). Staff were so friendly and kind. All the meats were tender and tasty, lots of choice of freshly cooked vegetables. Only wish my son would have let us stay for pudding to try one of their homemade deserts, I bet they are delicious. Definately recommend if you are in the area.

Lunch with friends yesterday (Thursday) Staff very friendly and service was good despite there being a busy funeral party that was being catered for. Menu prices very reasonable too and choices are varied. My scampi and chips was delicious. My 2 friends had fish and chips. All portions were a very good size although I don't think the fish was cod or haddock but they were a large size portions and the batter was lovely. Good choice of desserts on a separate chalk board £4 each which I thought was a good price. Mid week carvery available Wed &Fri (I believe). I would visit again

I had read reviews and it was on the way for a trip. Although the staff were really friendly and attentive the ambience and food were not up to spec. The decor was falling off the walls and our table was peeling its lacquer. We had the carvery. The beef was tough but the turkey and pork was fine. The stuffing balls were lovely and the yorkshire pudding fine, as were the roast potatoes and parsnips. The other veg was over cooked to the point of much, the brussels frozen with an after taste. The carrots and cabbage on offer were dire. The gravy was nice. Unfortunately after this experience I will not be visiting there again.

Went for a carvery here a couple of weeks ago for the first time. Was met at the door by the landlady and given a table number, a waitress soon came over and took our drinks and food order and told us when we could go up to the carvery, this is a good idea as they do it a table at a time so no pushing and shoving and getting close to other people. There were 4 meat options and the lady carving the meat certainly didnt skimp on portion sizes. Loads of potatoes and veg choices (only disappointment for me personally was no cauli cheese) Our party of 4 really enjoyed our meals and will certainly be back again and all for under £10

Been here a few times over years with footie clubs after game finished for a drink and food snacks that they supplied for the clubs.. Was always good. Recently though been there without footie for food menu t0here.. The food is nice and tasty. The carvery meat was so tender and moist and you helped yourself to the veggies etc.. The other friends I was with who didnt have carvery but something off the menu and specials board said it was very delicious and it did look very nice on the plates. Good price and very warm welcome with good service and friendly staff.

We visit Ollerton House on a regular basis and love the warm welcome, friendly staff and delicious food. Landlord Des and Landlady Alison always go out of their way to make us feel welcome and a real plus for us is the fact that they cater for coeliacs (requiring gluten free) with GF lager and food choices. Our Sunday lunch on Mother's Day was perfectly cooked with a huge choice of vegetables. We would highly recommend this pub.

We have lived in Ollerton for four years now and have driven past the Ollerton House pub hundreds of times, always reluctant to visit though as it looks a bit like a ‘local pub for local people’. However my wife and I finally ventured in recently during the odd afternoon, it’s been fine but quiet, pretty dead in fact. Let’s start with the good: the service from the afternoon staff was genuinely very friendly, no complaints there at all. In fact it was largely thanks to them that we returned for several afternoon visits over the following few weeks and they were the only reason we would give this place any stars at all. Then the bad… The place is decorated ok, if you live in 1980 and have a penchant for bland, dingy out-dated furniture and decor. The mens toilet smells like it hasn’t seen any bleach since 1980 too. Pungent and grubby. During an afternoon visit we noticed a large sign in the lounge room advertising a quiz night ‘every Thursday at 9pm’. Despite our reservations, my wife and I decided nevertheless to give it a go. Oh dear. We arrived at 8:30 and the room was dead again. Just two OAP couples were sat in there. Then one of the couples left, leaving just the remaining elderly couple and us (and in fact not another soul walked in for the rest of the night). Not to worry, we thought. Clearly not enough punters for a quiz night, we’ll just have a few drinks at least. …until it came to 9:35pm when the OAP couple had left and a man who we presume was the landlord abruptly told us we had to drink up and leave because it wasn’t worth his gas and electric for us to remain! Feeling really awkward, we quickly finished our drinks and left. Sir, if you are reading this, then congratulations; you saved yourself about 50p on your gas and electric bill. However, in being so rude and making us feel so unwelcome you also lost yourself some potential regulars. Stellar business plan. Go you. This could be turned into a decent pub, however it would require a complete re-haul of both decor and ownership. (Plus a good deep-clean in the toilets). Poor.

Could not wait to return to Ollerton House for a a truly perfect meal. Perfect roast turkey with stuffing, creamed and roast potatoes, peas, carrots, and gorgeous savoy cabbage, topped off with yorkshire pudding and gravy. A classic lager and beer, plus a lemon and strawberry cheesecake handmade by Maddie with fresh fruit, and chocolate fudge cake both with fresh cream, neither dessert any good for the diet, BUT WHO CARES WE DESERVED TO BE DECADENT AND ENJOY LUXURY and Alison and Des certainly provided it. Been coming here every Sunday for lunch for nearly 5 years, pandemics permitting, could not wait until Sunday so today was extra special. Thank you both for perfection.

We have been having our Sunday Lunch here every Sunday for the past 4 or 5 years, as well as some midweek evening meals. Sunday is a lovely day here with the superb carvery. Obviously things have had to change to fit in with Covid rules but the carvery is just done differently and still offers 3 first class meats to choose from. Yorkshire's, mash, roasties, cabbage, peas, parsnips, carrots and fabulous gravy. Stuffing and relevant sauces too. Then if you have room, a super choice of desserts. The lovely people who run this establishment have done everything possible to ensure everyone's safety in the midst of these dreadful times. It is always advisable to book.

The worst meal we’ve ever had. The time it took for them to cook it was ridiculous! When the meals finally arrived it was nothing special, the steak was over cooked, the salad wasn’t fresh and the burgers was burnt and greasy. Then it came to paying and the price was extortionate for what we actually received. Very disappointed and sadly won’t be returning.

Went for Sunday lunch with family. All the staff were brilliant and the atmosphere was good - nice to have a pianist playing while we ate. However the vegan version of the roast dinner wasn’t great. There was a nut roast listed on the website menu however when we got there it had been replaced by a different option. It was a spiced cauliflower patty which tasted good but didn’t fit on a roast dinner IMO. We were told that the mash wasn’t vegan so we would get extra roast potatoes instead, but we only got three small roasties each and when we queried this, we were told you usually only get two. The greens were inconsistent; I had a pile of kale while my cousin had green beans. The carrots and parsnips were rock hard (and cooked with honey so not truly vegan). The vegan dinner felt a bit measly compared to the others, with very little effort to substitute items or present a filling plate of food worth the price tag.

Birthday luncheon, we hadn't planned to come here, we met a butcher at Rutland show, he had just opened a bistro in Sherwood, unfortunately is was not open today. Being probably the hottest day of the year I did not want to travel too far, we have seen Launay's on a previous visit to Edwinstowe. We were the on dinners in the restaurant. I found the chairs a little too low and not quite supportive. Starters which we share were salmon wasabi pea puree and fennel citrus sperified balls, absolutely fantastic then chorizo cumberland and a wonderfully cooked egg. Mains, fried pulled pork and a sousvide steak, I had to try it because I sousvide at home, however I felt that it lacked taste and was a little dry. the tomato relish was pretty good, served in an old marmalade jar. dessert was to die for, basil cheesecake with micro lemon balm Definitely be back to ravage the a la carte menu
