I'm a regular here now. A couple of small screen TV if you want. Hand Pulled ales et al. Two tap rooms. Drink leaning on the bar and chat to the locals or sit down in a quiet corner. No food other than crisps and scratchings.

Amir's restuarant at Retford. I'm not one to normally moan, I give positive praise as I did with your restuarant only a couple of months ago, I even phoned and thanked you personally for a great meal. Tonight could not be any more of a polar opposite. I will never walk into your restuarant or place a takeaway order again. We placed our order via Just Eat at 7pm, food was scheduled for delivery at 8.30 which is a long enough wait to be fair for a Monday night then I envisage it's a quieter night. By 8.50pm, still no delivery, no phone call, no update. I called Amir's at 8.50pm to find out apparently they had cooked the food, had driven out with the food to deliver it, but couldn't find our house (despite coming several times previously) and instead of a phone call or other means of finding us, just decided to drive back to the restuarant. So.... If you couldn't find us and didn't deliver our food, you didn't call us or update us, how did you imagine this would be resolved? I have revived no apology and in fact quite rude and unhelpful staff. The offer was "we will cook you a fresh meal and we will deliver it out to you". Hang on, you couldn't find us 1/2 hour ago, but now you propose to cook us more food and deliver it, how do you imagine that was happening considering you couldn't find us the first time??? Clearly, I don't want fresh food cooking at 9pm to eat at 10pm, some 3 hours after I've ordered. My attempts at a refund were basically, "not my problem you'll have to go through just eat"..... again no apology, no help and clearly absolutely no care about a decent sized order and unhappy customers. I always try to support the places that get bad press, but on this occasion I can't help but join in with the people who say your service is appalling. I asked for the guys name on the phone, he wouldn't spell it out for me, but apparently there's no manager or owner in tonight. I hope they see this post and realise what an absolute disservice you have done for their business (if you weren't the owner or manager) with your poor attitude and insanely poor service. I'll never use your restuarant or takeaway again, tonight's episode is inexcusable. Had you been decent and offered a discount, a refund, an apology I may have been on board. You've wasted £40 worth of food and caused yourselves another negative post. We will go back to others we've used before.

Beautiful restaurant. Very friendly and truly dog friendly. Our dog was made to feel very welcome. Enjoyed their huge breakfast and especially loved the freshly made drinks. Sunshine streaming through while we read the papers. Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely come again!

Wow what can i say, this is the first time coming here as we were visiting my parents who have recently moved here so they treated us to a meal for my birthday. The food and service was by far a 10 out of 10. All freshly cooked food and decent portions for the price too. I had the Sticky Chicken for starters 🤤🤤and a Chicken, Ham and Leek Pie for main course which was well filled. I loved the deco and how comfortable the crushed velvet chairs were which made it even more comfy. The whole place was clean and inviting to everyone. All the staff we were in contact with with so bubbly and friendly, especially the owner? Who took our order and the lady who waited on us too. The only niggle for me was i was to hot but thats personal preference as im never cold and was sittinf by a radiator. Such a lovely pub its a shame its going to be closing ☹️
