retreat on the row in Bassetlaw

This is our local and we are so lucky to have it. You are guaranteed a warm welcome from Stuart, Janine and their team. The Retreat on the row is a first class dining experience. Beautiful food, excellent service, a good selection of wine and draught to suit all tastes. I highly recommend.

After a walk along the canal we popped in for something to eat. The lady who served us was really welcoming, friendly and polite. She explained everything clearly to us. We had a Sunday dinner tapas sharing board which was absolutely amazing - so different to anything we’ve had before. Every part of the meal was absolutely delicious. Definitely the best meal I’ve had in a long time! We will definitely be returning and I’d highly recommend to everyone.

A superb restaurant. Outstanding service & food . Guaranteed to receive a warm friendly welcome & a lovely atmosphere . Highly recommended for a special night out .

Fantastic food, drinks and hosts! Sunday lunch is amazing, tapas and pizza are the tastiest! Such a great atmosphere too!

Have been wanting to try this place for such a long time and finally found a free weekend - SO glad we did. Unfortunately the chef was away so the menu was smaller (however I was impressed the owners had chosen to protect their brand and stick to food they could cook without their chef). The pizza was incredible really thin and crispy just what you want after a good walk. Good choice of wine and I had a really well balanced Kir Royal (had too many with overpowering blackcurrant). Best thing about the whole experience was the friendly owner and step in chef. SO welcoming, SO lovely, really can’t rave enough about them. Inside was extremely clean and well presented. Would 100% recommend and we will definitely be back for the full menu.

Great Sunday lunch, good service. Food was lovely drinks great, all in all we will definitely visit again. Nice ambience.

Just returned from a superb Sunday Lunch. Everything from our welcoming hosts to a wonderful tapas style lunch provided by a very talented chef was beyond expectations and the price, well it takes a lot to surprise me but this was outstanding value. A range of food, wonderfully prepared,presented itself and the taste of everything was great and it looked good too. If, like me, you are generally not a fan of carvery style Sunday Lunches then give Retreat on the Row a try, fantastic experience and one to be soon repeated.

Loved our Sunday lunch here…. The owners were very friendly and the food was stunning… a very friendly atmosphere and table service was superb…. We will definitely be returning 😁 sally and Nigel

Visited today and had a fabulous Sunday lunch . Vegetarian option was Superb . A very talented chef . Best meal out I’ve had in a long time . Very good service . Will definitely return .

Me and my family had been for a walk and decided to stop for refreshments at The Retreat. We decided to sit outside as we were a little dirty and had a child’s bike with us. Although the lady who collected our glasses was lovely and conversation with her about the food they offer and the previous amazing comments I had heard about it, we were definitely made to feel unwelcome. As there were four adults, we moved the chairs around a small table outside within the allocated seating area. The owner of the property asked my mum to move away from the door as she would ‘intimidate’ his son if he were to leave the property. I was then under the impression that the property was separate to the business itself but when asked, this was not the case. I have personally seen the front of this establishment crammed with customers. Unsure why that’s acceptable and one person sat slightly close to the door is not!!! Absolutely awful manners… even if the food is amazing, they definitely don’t deserve the business

A delicious early evening meal in this lovely convivial place. Excellent food and wine choices and while we were too full to try, the desert menu was great. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Excellent.

Excellent Sunday lunch sharing platter, all home made, was delicious, service great, cant wait to return

This place is amazing! The tapas, Sunday lunch and desserts are all fantastic! Really friendly owners and staff with a good selection of beers, wines and cocktails. Absolutely love it here :-)

Visited last night with friends and had a sharing platter and some tapas dishes. The food was delicious! Such a lovely, welcoming place and would highly recommend.

This was a share platter for Sunday lunch, it was delicious, beef, pork turkey. Roast potatoes, mash, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and vedg, also as much gravy as you needed. It was absolutely delicious, the best Sunday lunch I have had in a long time. The hosts are first class, friendly and very obliging, we had a great time.
