The Crusty Cob Tuxford in Bassetlaw

We visited The Crusty Cob at lunchtime and were delighted with everything. The welcome was very friendly. The sandwiches were superb. The service could not have been better. All-in-all a very pleasant experience and highly recommended.

Poached eggs are spot on every time! Visit at least once a week and never have any complaints .. friendly staff always happy and helpful!

Excellent cafe stop 50 miles into a 100 mile bike ride. Cafe was busy and we were a large group but waitress was friendly and service was really efficient. Nice full English breakfasts at reasonable price, good coffee too. Perfect.

Only been using them in the past year but wish I had done earlier! Really great sandwiches / panini’s and very well priced. The cakes are also to die for can tell they are all homemade. Keep it up

Decided to take a small diversion off the A1 to find some lunch and came across this place. Wanted to eat inside but there were no available tables - good sign. Ordered some takeaway sandwiches instead - a tuna sandwich and the monthly special (warm chicken fajita wrap). Great sandwiches and great value. So much better than any service station offerings. Definitely worth the small diversion off the A1.

We stopped here on the way up the A1, it being only a few minutes' drive away. There is some free parking outside but also some more free parking in Tuxford Working Men’s club, just around the corner. The cafe adjoins a sandwich and cake shop and the ladies running both were very friendly and helpful. Great coffee and a lovely full English Breakfast were quickly served up. Eggs, sausages, bacon, mushrooms, black pudding, tinned tomatoes (which I prefer), hash browns and a stack of delicious toast. The icing on the cake was a real fire. It was exactly what we had been hoping for. We had the large breafast and several drink refills. With all this, it was about £15 each,and worth it. We may very well stop in on our return trip!

I just enjoyed eggs florentine at the crusty cob, just passing through Tuxford and chose the café sort of at random. As well as friendly and quick service, the flat white I had was the absolute business (beans from Stokes of Lincoln). The cranberry and white chocolate slice finished it off nicely - CHEERS!

Stopped on route to Suffolk, very friendly and accommodating staff, opened the back patio so we could take our dog outside whilst we ate a very nice breakfast bap, nothing to much trouble. Would definitely recommend this cafe. Thank you to the staff.

Popped in for the second time to the Crusty cob and was gets by the friendly waitress just like the first time. The food was tasty just like on our first visit. The baguette was fresh and much recommended.

Family pre wedding breakfast for 4. Food was beautiful (large breakfast, 2x 5 items and a chicken wrap) service was brilliant and attentive even allowing a chicken wrap from post breakfast menu for my Autistic son.

The Crusty Cob is a hidden treasure! We came off the A1 looking for a cup of tea and a change of scenery from our drive and stumbled across it - we shall now make sure to mark it as a great place to stop! The first thing you notice is the bright and quirky decor and the second is the warmth of welcome from the truly delightful staff who obviously take real pride in their work and joy in making travellers and locals alike feel welcome. We had possibly the best smoked salmon and cheese bagels we have ever tasted (and we lived in the East End of London for almost 20 years). Also - our teapot was topped up and extra milk provided without even being asked - perfect service! It is certainly worth the 5 minute detour! NB free parking just round the corner at the Working Men's Club during the day - a bonus!

Came off A1 in route 'up North' after reading positive reviews. It didn't disappoint. Loved the decor. Friendly staff too. Made a welcome change from stopping at services. Hubby had full English, l had eggs benedict. Both delicious. Eggs were amazing! Both had large americano and had change from £20! Would definitely revisit.

Came here for breakfast and the service and food was lovely. Staff were very flexible on alterations with our order. Quirky and clean decor inside. Would visit again :)

Spotted on the web,I do hate main service stations for food,this place is off the A1 north bound in the little village of Tuxford,must have been an old pub at one time,food was excellent and reasonably priced,will certainly call again when travelling north on the A1,had the full English, ate the lot.

everything is great here, from the location, the friendly service and the excellent food. everything freshly made/cooked

There's a very pretty windmill just north of Tuxford which we've used in the past as a handy rest stop when tackling long A1 journeys - a nice location, a nice cafe, and a chance to breathe in some country air. Sadly post-lockdown it's not...

Impromtu lunch while travelling up the A1 .. Excellent service, pleasant surroundings and our food (jacket potatoe & Bacon Brie Cranberry Panini) were awesome! Will visit again when passing.

We were looking for a lunch stop whilst heading down the A1 towards Grantham and found this characterful, friendly little cafe on TripAdvisor. This is a cafe with personality- a quirky little place with friendly staff and tasty food prepared with love. The chicken club...

The menu has numerous choices with tasty specials that often vary daily. Great food with friendly and helpful staff. The log burner is welcome on chilly mornings. Highly recommended

Good little cafe. Ideal if you want to avoid the service stations on A1. We stopped here for breakfast. Friendly staff. Food arrived quickly. Good varied menu. Would have been 5 stars but for the tinned tomatoes.

Me and the wife were driving from Essex to York and decided to stop of on the way. We came across a nice little cafe called the crusty cub in Tuxford. Friendly efficient staff. Great food Great quality and quantity Clean and tidy Defiantly recommend...

A gem of a find off the A1. Quirky cafe, quality food, lots of choice excellent coffee, and friendly staff

We stopped on our way down the A1 because of the good reviews but we were disappointed. 2 teas, bacon sandwich and carrot cake which on menu said it came with pouring cream. The tiny pot if tea for 2 people at £1.75 each, ie...

Thank you for a lovely funeral buffet. Arrived when expected and set out beautifully. Food quality was excellent and tastes to satisfy all our guests. Thanks to Jo and her staff.

We stopped here as a convenient place for breakfast on our journey up A1 to Scotland. It was only just off the A1 and was so much better than stopping at one of the service areas. Service was fast and efficient and the breakfast menu...

we order from the crusty cob on a daily basis and have done for a few years for all our staff !! making use of the fantastic delivery service they provide. the food is great always hot and always on time the staff are great...

As well as the sandwiches, the food is always fresh and the people are always friendly. It’s on the Main Street in Tuxford so no outside parking but plenty near by. And a walk round the village is always a great idea

Advise booking if in a group, that said the place is like the tardis. Very friendly staff and the full English breakfast is one of the best I've had in along time. If your passing or fancy a pit stop like we did on way...

We visited here with our cycling club (14 people) on a busy Saturday and the staff here couldn't do enough for us, even making sure our bikes were securely stowed during our visit.Having rung ahead in the week they were expecting us but the staff...

Stumbled across this gem when in the area. I had the fish ginger sandwich it was lovely! Definitely return again if Wer in the area again. The cakes we took home Wer super tasty too!

Good, unassuming, unpretentious nosh. Service can be a tad slower when the lunch crowd descends but food quality is consistent.

About once a month, Crusty Cob do a themed pop-up restaurant evening. Last night we went to their Tapas evening. We had a huge shared starter, with olives, stuffed peppers, iberico ham, cheese and chorizo croquettes, a huge Spanish omelette and more.....

Sometimes you get a sandwich shop with a few apologetic chairs pushed up against the wall for a café. Other times you get a draughty café exposed to the ever-opening door of the take out counter. Here they’ve done it brilliantly – a great take away shop and through a modern glazed door into a fantastic coffee shop. The décor is contemporary country, the log burner, sadly not used during our visits on a cold March day, adding a welcome touch. Menu is great – nothing too edgy but more than the basics. Service spot on. Prices right. Food great.

The crusty cob is so much more than a coffee shop, offering an amazing breakfast menu and great lunchtime choices. All of this is available to eat in or take away. The staff work so hard and they are always busy keeping everyone happy. The sandwich selections are very varied and tasty.

What a little gem, was told of the crusty cob by a friend when mentioning I fancied a good full English breakfast. On arrival was surprised with how clean and bright the cafe was, from the road it looks small but it extends to the back of the building. We ordered our food and within 10 mins it's was red hot and ready to eat.

Living local and visiting The Crusty Cob on a regular basis is a bonus. The food is excellent and fresh. bacon sandwiches are a must,

Stumbled in here on our way home for a quick bite to eat. It was a lovely sunny day so decided to sit outside at the back. Just got seated and a great big dog started barking at us for over 10 minutes behind a gate that wasn't locked. The owner did shout from the kitchen and few times for the dog to be quiet but my elderly nan couldn't bear the loud noise.

Found this place by accident while looking for a decent sandwich. Now it has become my Friday treat. They do all your usual sandwiches, breakfast butties and sit down breakfasts etc but with a very high standard and fantastic quality ingredients. All seem welcome here from business men to bricklayers in shorts and vest.

We were passing through Tuxford and were in need of coffee. We chose the Crusty Cob and were not disappointed. The young people serving were friendly, courteous and efficient. The lunch, we chose a panini each, was tasty and generous. The coffee was perfect. We would recommend a stopover here any time!!

A lovely little shop with a great variety of snacks. Most sandwiches etc are made fresh in front of you. They have a very tempting dessert stand- the butterscotch tart is lovely.

A chance find coming off the A1 looking for somewhere to have a coffee and sandwich. Whilst extension works are not quite complete, the coffee and food was very good and inexpensive. Friendly service. Will remember for the future.

The interior is a little 1980s but the food and service here are more than up to scratch. The breakfast was great and there was gluten free bread available.

Friendly staff and atmosphere, no pretences here, a down to earth cafe / takeaway with excellent food. Plenty of room around the tables? You don't get crammed in like others I could mention....

I cannot imagine why this place is never busy. Although I'm not complaining the food is a reasonable price, well presented and great quality.

I went for lunch on my work experience and had a fish finger sandwhich and it was beautiful. It had mushy peas in it and there take on tatre sauce and it was lovely.

Bacon sandwiches are great as are the lattes, in fact all the food I've ever had from here, had amazing mini egg brownies at Easter which were the best brownies I've ever had. staff are always friendly. Great asset to Tuxford.

I have had some really wonderful take-away sandwiches and I can never wait to sit down and eat them :-)

The food and drink were very good, and reasonably priced as well.

Lovely fresh and good quality ingredients served in a lovely cafe. Very friendly. Highly recommend for breakfast. Also went to a pop up Mexican night here in December and that was great. Great fun, good food and a lively atmosphere. A great addition to Tuxford and the area. Looking forward to the pop up curry night this evening.

I heard about it from a lot of guys at work raving how good it was. I was determined to find out for myself. So, me and my friends went to visit in our lunch break. Seriously had the best panini ever !! Had a pulled pork panini with coleslaw and my friends had some thing different. Both my friends and I agreed that they were really good. Visited a couple of times since and the goods just stay the same brill quality since the first time !! Highly recommend to anyone in the area !! Also do coffee and a wide variety or food !!! Deffo try !!
