The Greendale Oak in Bassetlaw - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We went for Sunday dinner 🍽 it was delicious and the White Chocolate and Lavender cheese cake was unreal. However the whole experience was make so much better by lovely Charlie. He made us feel so looked after, nothing was too much trouble. Charlie answered any questions and went above and beyond. Would of been nice to be able to tip personally.

Really nice visit the food was great but I'd like to pay attention to the staff.. very efficient, polite and professional our waiter Charlie T( plug it when you can but credit, where credit is due)..she was brilliant.. not intrusive but on hand) so I'd definitely come back..

Food amazing , good selection and very tasty .excellent place ,great staff , very well priced , definitely recommend for any event , couples , family , corporate , won't go anywhere now found this little gem , we'll done to all the staff for making this such a hreat place , only fault not enough parking

Just had the worst meal ever normally good but 17/06/24 only two staff on probably only one in the kitchen two meals ok two of them the chips were over cooked didn’t even have a egg with one meal the chops told the young lad and his reply was do want the chips replaced which was yes the meal took over hour to come out like this very poor so we were left eating the meat till the chips came back 10mins there was no one to ask for anything so got up and went to the bar to get the drinks said to the lad we buy the in-laws vouchers for Xmas £200 for this place his reply was if your not happy with it don’t buy them we know now not going to this year plenty more pubs that want customer’s

Popped in for lunch. Had our dog with us. Great dog friendly pub. Lovely inside. The menu was great. Loads to choose from. We had scotch egg for starter and jerk chicken, margarita pizza and GF onions rings for main. Delicious!!! The service was fantastic. Millie really looked after us. We will be back. Thanks guys!

Enjoyed our visit to this little country pub, food was fresh & well presented and of high quality. I would highly recommend and we will be back

I ordered ribeye medium to well done when it arrived it was still mooing I asked for no salad so it was covered in oily salad Husband had a fillet asked for it to be medium rare when it came it was rare Sent them back to be recooked £72 what a waste of money

This lib used to be lovely- not any more. Came as a family my parents and my daughter. First we were shown to our table to be told that the bear had been out on the wrong table so moved to a smaller table. Very rude member of staff nearly demanding we were in the wrong for sitting on our named table. Then ordered food quickly. Next more tables rated around us with 4 dogs - no ask if we’re ok with the dogs that close to us. Food arrived cold, and veg was rock hard. Beef was dripping in blood. No ask if we’re ok. Paid the bill and left before it could get worse. Won’t be returning here until reviews improve I’m afrqid

What a shame, moved to cuckney and thought we would try for a Sunday dinner. All the food was cold, pork belly was just not edible. My wife couldn't cut it never mind eat it. Stuffing was dry, potatoes had been sat for a while you could tell with how dry they was. Asked how the food was before we had even received everyone’s meals. Offered a drink or pudding which we refused. Wouldn’t go back.

Went today with a group of 16 ladies, the food was good but the service was terrible, we were in a room on our own and seemed to be forgotten when it came to service, 16 ladies who may not come again or recomend to family and friends is a loss of income for the pub.

Sunday lunch for 3 , the meat and potatoes with Yorkshire pud was served first then we repeatedly had to ask for our veg and side orders . Service was shocking the meat ect was cold by the time we had everything. No one asked if it was ok we just got stroppy service for asking where the rest of it was . Asked for a reduced bill and was offered 10 percent off , shame as we have been going for years but it seems to be changing for the worse. Will not return now until we see these reviews getting better .

We were on our way to Creswell craggs and stumbled upon this beauty on our way. A beautiful country pub with a modern twist. Staff were very accommodating and we were made to feel very welcome. Not having to wait too long for our food, it arrived with lovely presentation. A lovely homemade meal! Definitely worth the visit!!

Ordered a lunch meal of pie & chips. The pie was a child's portion, bland in taste and weirdly served with kale and one small carrot both of which were not Al dente but al rock hard, couldn't even cut it let alone chew it. Won't be eating there again!

After years of frequenting this restaurant I am sad to say no more . We all have the odd time time when things don’t go right but when everything is quite obnoxious and you have spent a lot of money and the attitude is apathetic it’s time to spend my money elsewhere . This is the first time I have ever felt the need to write a negative review anywhere. Their loss and other establishments gain

This used to be a lovely pub to meet friends and enjoy food together but unfortunately it is losing its soul. First of all I would add the food served is of good quality and for that there is no complaint. When you pre book a table. 4 days before along with pre booking food too we expected to be served the dish we ordered. We have visited the pub 2-3 times a week now for over a year now and every Saturday 3 of us for varios parts of the county and Sheffield meet up for a beer and share 12 oysters. As we were told previously to ensure they kept a dozen for us each Saturday, we always book the table and the oysters a few days before to ensure they are there for us when we arrive. Last night we arrived as usual and bought drinks and paid for the oysters. After a few minutes a member of staff told me that they only had 7 oysters left and did we want them. The reason given was that the kitchen was not notified of the booking previously. I would emphasise that no apology was offered and I would need to be refunded the cost of the oysters. In the end we decided to take the 7 remaining ones being charged for 6 as an inconvenience. The refund for the balance is still being awaited. Later we were told that they can’t help it if they made a mistake by a very disgruntled member of staff. Whilst I can sympathise with mistakes being made it is not good enough when staff are ill trained and lack the skills to deal with customers and complaints. Previously there were senior staff who oversaw the bar and waiting staff but now there is no leadership and the staff are ill prepared to deal with customers with long queues at the bar and little or no politeness to customers. In order to keep keep the pub where it should be for food, ambiance and service I suggest the management pay more attention to running the place properly and making sure the staff have a supervisor who can help them attain their potential.

Went today for Sunday Lunch - wouldn’t rush back to be honest - No complaints with the service at all but for what you pay we both thought the cuts of meat could Have been better as in Pork Loin as opposed to Belly Pork and Chicken Breast as opposed to half a pale looking chicken that looked like it had just flown onto the plate 🤮 However dessert was lovely even though we got given soup spoons to eat it with.

Great food and service fantastic beer thanks to Joe looking after the lines and staff Laura,Rochelle,jack,Lexi,Lucy etc.x.

Had our annual staff dinner, thirteen of us ,food was very good no complaints ,but I'd pre-ordered all the meals and we were waiting 1 hour before being served ,they'd taken drink orders and we had to go to the bar to remind them after more than 20min wait . I don't mind waiting a little bit but think an hour is over excessive ,iwas very disappointed after having previous gatherings that went like clockwork

We decided to try TGO after recommendations from friends and its appeal from the roadside. We did visit during peak hours but even so we found it strange we had to queue at the Bar to announce our arrival and be seated. We were waiting (with others) for about 10 to 15 minutes and got the impression there were not enough Bar staff. The table we were seated at was on a low floor area than the others near a fire exit, and cold. The waitress agreed it was too cold and to be fair they did find us another table. A visit to the gents was uncomfortably colder. We had to wait about 40 mins for the food to arrive, which was not really an issue to us as we realised they were busy. However, the food was also disappointing. The jerk chicken tasted nice but was way too dry, and the poor side salad and corn on the cob did little to add any moisture to the meal. I left about a 1/3 rd as the dryness beat me. No skewers came the the corn, is that normal now? The chips were fine. An excellent range of Beers and good quality wine offset the poor food somewhat and it did have a nice ambience inside, although I do think a smarter dress code may help? I can never understand why people continue to wear baseball caps when dining and I think creating the wrong impression. Foul language needs to be addressed. We will try again I am sure at some point, so I am not writing this review to put anyone off, but that the business may take it as constructive criticism in a very tough market. With Launays at Edwinstowe closing I would have thought many more diners will be trying here.

Had a lovely dinner with friends on a busy Thursday evening; service was quick, food was exceptional and the waitress was very friendly and attentive. Plus they have Heineken Zero on draught! Perfect for my valiant attempt at dry January!

Food was excellent and the portions were generous. Presentation was very good. A cosy and atmospheric pub. Service by the staff was exemplary. A really good experience. We will certainly be going back.

What a fantastic night spent at the Greendale for New Year’s Eve. We were unsure where to book and so glad we went! The food was amazing! The singer was brilliant getting all our party up dancing which was a real feat as our male...

We had a reservation at 5.45. Arrived 5mins earlier to be ignored for 10 mins. Literally ignored with waitress right in front of us until we pointed out that we were here and waiting. Supervisor was efficient though and seated us. 10 mins later acknowledged...

On Arrival we went to the bar. One friend wanted red wine he asked for Merlot this young waiter went in the cupboard and said no ! would he like another my friend asked what options could he offer, He reccomded 3 more which was...

We was part if a party booked to see the Freddie Mercury tribute, nice pub, good range of ales and our buffet meal was plenty and good quality, strange though you had to queue get warm food then later down the line their was cold...

We have been returning to this pub every year for over 20 for our anniversary. Although we moved from the area we have continued to return to celebrate the occasion. In the past we have had some lovely meals and the service has been good....

2 close friends and myself dined her solely because we had dined at a previous restaurant at which the Head Chef here had worked. We were not disappointed. When we arrived at 7 pm, the restaurant and bar were full. Testament to its popularity. I...

We visit this pub regularly as my parents live in the village. We often eat there especially in the summer as there is a very pleasant outdoor area. On our last visit there was a great new menu. This is an independent pub so no...

Waiting 1hr 20mins for mains, food not piping hot. Oil all over the plate. Soggy batter on the fish.

Jade our server was AMAZING such a nice and welcoming girl, kept a smile on her face no matter how busy it was🤍

Booking by phone was easy.Arrived, shown to quiet room as requested.Waitress pleasant ,food good.Ordered coffee, one latte and one Americano, no milk, no sugar.Americano arrived, a small espresso with a jug full of milk and sugar.had to be taken back and brought as ordered.

Nightmare !! Booked a table for 7pm family special occasion , sat down 6-50pm we were the only ones in the Resturant we ordered the meal the rest of the room started to fill up our starters arrived at 8-35 😫 after chasing our mains...

We visit this hostelry regularly. A recent visit proved to be one of the best meals we have had in some time. The quality and presentation seems to have raised to a new level. We ordered off the specials board, choosing Pumpkin curry and a...

Visited for a family birthday party on a busy Saturday night. The food was amazing. Highly recommend their Seafood sharer. We were looked after by a young waitress who could not do enough for us. It was our first time visiting and we will be...

On arrival, we were looking at drinks available and was told in no uncertain terms to go to our table. My husband said he was looking at the types of lager and beers available and the waitress very abruptly said, it is table service! We followed her through and then when we asked what lagers were available, our young waitress hadn’t a clue. She brought a member of the bar staff over who was able to help. Our waitress then left without taking one of our six drinks orders, so I had to call her back. The food was nice enough but presentation of the pie, chips and vegetables was dreadful; swimming in gravy coloured water. At one point, we were chatting away; three couples who hadn’t seen one another for a long time, when a waitress appeared and immediately, bawled across the table at our group, asking us if we’d like to see the sweet menu. She didn’t even pause for a second before doing this, so we had a moment to recognise she was there. I don’t recall one smile, one polite word all evening.

The Sunday roasts are amazing, perfect gravy and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. Great little pub atmosphere. Staff were friendly and you can bring dogs in too.

Stood at the bar waiting to pay. Been here over 10 minutes and not even acknowledged by staff. Sometimes they are non existent which is a real let down. For a lovely pub the staff really let this company down.

Visited on a Saturday lunchtime. Had olives, chipolatas and fritto misto for starters. Everything was tasty, cooked well and piping hot. The honey for the chipolatas was slightly overdone, so a little bitter. Then we had a 40 minute wait for our main course. We had obviously been forgotten, we were sat in one of the lovely pods outside. A young lad did come out after 30 mins to apologise and say that it wouldn't be long. And he did apologise profusely when he bought our meal. We each had a seafood pot. The broth was lovely, the fries were hot and tasty and the seafood was cooked very nicely. The only downside is that whoever cleaned the mussels needs more training as most of them still had the beards in them. There was also slices of raw garlic in the broth. This was a real shame as it could have been a fantastic meal for a very reasonable price.

Quick service for our table of 5 Sunday lunch. Good food and attentive service to ensure all okay. Large portions and lovely toffees pudding.

The perfect venue for a spot of lunch and just a mile up the road from our house. The staff were great.....friendly jolly and efficient. The food is so tasty and delicious. We've been here many times since moving to this area and it'll always be a favourite pub/restaurant for my Husband and I.

The first time we visited a couple of mo the ago this place exceeded expectations and lives up to the recommendations from friends. The best steak I'd had in a long time and an amazing baked potato. Fast forward to this evening and we will not be returning. Talk about disappointment and let down. Service was extremely slow and.my husband's drink was served in a filthy glass. This was changed with a mere shrug and no apology. We were wondering where our starter was after all it can't take long to shuck 6 oysters. But then our mains came out and we were informed our starter was coming ad part of the main. This time the food was poor. My husband's burger dry and over cooked,my baked potato barely cooked through and hard in places. There was no butter on it and no condiments offered. No one came at any point to check if we were happy nor offer drinks despite drinks order being taken at our table. On leaving my husband told the gentleman behind the bar of our disappointment. He was indifferent at best. We won't be returning when you can get better food and service elsewhere

lovely lunch today 2 beef and horseradish bagettes fab fries salad and a small pan of gravy delisous, frien had tuna mayo which she said was good service a little slow but food made up for it.

This was a very disappointing second visit, (1.30pm Sun 6th Aug) which we had made from some distance to meet up with friends. Last visit we had the Greendale Burger & Seabass risotto, wonderful brilliant experience hence a re-visit. This time the same burger, Haddock, chips, samphire and peas. Out friends had the pies and mash. Waited to long for main courses, had to ask of their whereabouts, when they arrived the burger was just luke warm and the fish looked and tasted dried out and overcooked We would have complained at the time but service was chaos, looked like there were not enough staff for the covers, plus we were starving. Long wait and chased up deserts. "Greendale Oak" please address your issues and we will come again soon and hope for a better experience.

Very average in every way. They’re for Sunday lunch. Service was quick and friendly. To me the Pork had been kept warm from underneath as part of it was rock hard. The Cauliflower cheese was overcooked and a congealed mess. Otherwise it was ok.

Fantastic night with family at this lovely pub/restaurant - food was delicious, staff were friendly and personable and the atmosphere was exactly what you’d want from such a picturesque country pub. Only thing I would suggest to help improve the experience would be a drinks...

This was at one time a lovely restaurant. Unfortunately it has gone downhill badly in the last 3 months. We waited an hour and 15 min for our main meals, that was after some starters came out after a 20 min wait, the rest of...

Poor experience from start to finish. No drinks or wine list and the waitress didn’t know any of the wines or beers available and answered with sorry I don’t have a good memory. Eventually another waiter came over and reeled them off but no menu...

Been here a few times, but came yesterday to a new menu. the selection is fab, and we will visit more often now especially since the food was cooked great.

There is a new menu since our last visit. We had a seafood board we shared with friends which was out of this world. Not very often you see oysters around these parts. I had a ribeye which was cooked perfectly, something some establishments struggle...

Disappointing. Have visited quite a few times in the past, but the quality seems to have taken a dive. I had the steak pie and it was basically a low quality round shortcrust pie cut in half. The filling was low quality and too salty....

Went on a Saturday afternoon and was seated straight away, nice friendly staff and attentive. New menu on now and we had steak sandwich (£14) and fish and chips. Steak cooked how I like it and the portion sizes were huge, for me anyway I...

Two of us for Sunday dinner all of it overcooked and burnt. Booked the snug as it’s usually away from kids with loud I pads . All the other tables in the snug put together to seat a group of at least 6 families with...

Disappointing limited menu choices. Having said that, we all enjoyed the food we had. What was extremely disappointing was the fact that they lost our bill, so we went through everything we’d had, including all drinks & paid the bill accordingly. The next day I...

Ignore negative reviews,Food was excellent,waitress so nice and attentive. Good atmosphere,had a lovely night out for our Anniversary. Shortened menu because of Chef leaving,but it worked.

Disgraceful. We went for a 75th birthday. Had to wait 3 hours for food. Meal came cold. Managers response was they were short of staff and one of the chefs had walked out. Probably because of poor management. Very disappointed and would not recommend this...

When we entered the establishment we were greeted by the friendly barman, which always make one feel welcome and at ease. We just wanted a light lunch and found the ideal triple sandwich to select from the menu. Chicken, smoked bacon, cheese and lettuce, accompanied...

Beautiful food after a 1 hour 55 minute wait, not once have I complained about the wait of food if the foods been top notch, but sadly 105 minutes was a bit too long in my opinion. 6 meals, 5 meals were as described and...

Having booked a table for 5pm due to there being two small children in the party, it was a surprise that service was so slow. Starters were quite good, but the mains (delivered at 6.30) were so poor that one (the steak and ale pie)...

Called into the Greendale Oak on our way home. We initially intended to stay just to have a couple of drinks . Whilst sunning ourselves on the pubs beautiful sun terrace , soaking up the atmosphere and admiring the beautiful flowers (like something out of...

We visited in the evening for a birthday meal. It started well. There is always a good choice of real ales. The beer was well kept. We ordered the steak and ale pie. This used to be an absolute banger. However, after waiting 45 minutes...

Distinctly average. Despite mentioning we had 1 coeliac and 1 vegetarian in the comments in the booking form, the options were woeful. No GF Yorkshire puddings one Sunday despite this being an option. The 1 vege dish came with roast potatoes cooked in animal fat....

We had a table booked at 6pm for a family meal, we had pre ordered meals as requested by the establishment. The whole party were seated with drinks ordered as soon as we arrived however meals were not brought out until 7pm, when the meals...

We went for lunch today to celebrate a birthday. We waited almost an hour for the food to arrive. Thankfully the guests we had taken had a good meal but mine was terrible. Some of the food was cold. I sent my meal back. When...

Disappointing in every way from the moment we walked in. •Unfriendly and inexperienced staff •Terrible quality of food with other customers returning theirs. •Two hours wait for main course-not good quality •a shambles from start to finish with many apologies for a shocking experience I...

Called in for lunch on our way for a long weekend away on the Welbeck Estate nearby with our dog. We had booked a table and were greeted on arrival and shown to our table in a nice quiet corner which was ideal for our...

1st time here for a couple of us....12 of us met for a surprise 50th birthday. it's a beautiful place set in a lovely cosy atmosphere. Most of us had fish and chips and were all happy. Piping hot and very generous portions. For me,...

We came here on a sunday late afternoon, we booked our table and when we got there the member of staff said someone was sat at our table so we was seated at the other side of the restaurant, which was ok no worries, only...

Really like this place to eat but gotta say disappointed with meal this time. Pork belly lovely but it came with gritty leeks and lukewarm peas. Fish batter was soggy and chips average nothing special. Normally would send food back but not sure why we...

Really nice place and tidy, great food and good prices too, would 100% recommend and will be coming again

we have eaten here lots of times over the years and itts been ok but today we went with my son and partner and our grandson, it was extremlly busy, but once the food came 2 sirloin of beef 1 fish dish and a vegan...

The roasted vegetable soup was very poor. Flavourless with balsamic vinegar on top which made it bitter. The honey roast ham in a sandwich was ok but wasn’t accompanied by the cheddar it was supposed to have. Our “citrus” light beer was so unpleasant that...

The Greendale Oak is a most agreeable traditional pub in the characterful historic village of Cuckney. I stopped for dinner on the way back home from a frantic day at work and soon relaxed in the warm and convivial atmosphere. The choice of well-kept Everard's...

Shocking customer service, ordered drinks from bar was allocated a table and menu would be brought over for us to order. The menu never came so we drank our drinks paid up and left very disappointed.

Came for lunch with my husband, son and his wife. On arrival we were given a menu, but nobody came to take our food and drinks order. Eventually had to go to the bar to ask somebody to come to us. Myself and my daughter...

Would have been 5 if it wasn’t for the delays with the food and service, the food is excellent and presented really well, all the guys work super hard but I do feel on a Sunday it gets over stretched with the amount of customers.

Sunday late lunch. The pub is a lovely place, very welcoming and friendly staff. We sat in the bar for a drink before going to our table. The waitress was lovely, we ordered our meals. I ordered roast beef, pink, my partner had the 3...

This was a fabulous experience from start to finish. We were greeted immediately, our table was ready. The menu was lovely with lots of choice. We were served when ready and the food came in a timely manner. The food was exceptional I can't do...

5 star review for how attentive Jess was, she went above and beyond and we couldn’t have wished for a better valentines night xxxx

My friend and I visited here for her birthday! The staff welcomed us, showed us to our table, I wasn't happy with our table, they moved us near the log burner, lovely and warm! The food all home made, well presented, one of the best...

Had a nice Saturday night evening meal here. Cosy and relaxed inside. Food was quite tasty - large portions. Despite it being busy service was excellent. I would go again.

One of my favourite places. We went for a meal on Boxing Day and it was delicious and such good value for money, especially over the Christmas period. Unfortunately we didn't get to have dessert as we were full from the starter and main course....

I used to rave about this place been Many times Ordered a Pepsi just tasted like soda water Got a replacement that was the same Had the mighty mixed grill I believe it’s called mighty because of its size SMALL Asked for the steak to...

Superb food and service. Food was served hot and all dishes served in good time. The roast was fab. Commendations must go to our server for putting up with a couple of fussy family members! Patience of a saint! We'll be back again!

We were near by and were able to book a table for 4 adults and 2 children. The table was available in half an hour which is how far we were away. We also had two dogs with us. When we arrived the car park...

Recently visited for Xmas Lunch with work colleagues. Lovely atmosphere, great meal and fantastic staff. Wide range of both spirits and beers, coffees and wines. Will definitely be returning soon. Many thanks.

We had an excellent experience at the Greendale Oak tonight. Food and service was great. Alex is a credit to the team there but all staff who looked after us were also. We had the 40oz steak to share, which was cooked and presented very...

We booked to go on Sunday lunchtime with my Wife, Daughters and Mum & Dad. All the meals we had were frankly bloody lovely and, considering the current economic climate, good value too. Even my Dad said it was the best Steak and Ale pie...

Would have given a five but for the wait time for food. When it eventually came it was spot on. Good choices tastey and well presented. Priced reasonably. Would recommend if you aren't in a rush

Fantastic service, amazing food. A delightful experience. Our server Laura was extremely polite helpful and friendly. A perfect birthday treat. Thanks.

Visited again for a quick “light” lunch. Fish finger sandwich is to die for - the best I have ever found in the country which is why I drive 15 miles to enjoy it. My wife struggled to finish her Club sandwich - there was...

We have been frequenting the Greendale for years. Obviously during covid we visited less frequently. My friend and I decided to come for lunch last week. We both chose the chicken, bacon baguette, and shared chips. The chicken was not freshly cooked, it had been...
