The Haxey Gate Inn in Bassetlaw

Very over priced for the size and quality of the meals. Had the sweet chilli pan fried chicken and chips at £14. Relatively small amount. Chicken just tasted like it was covered in chilli jam. Chips were mainly the broken ends and it was clearly pre chopped lettuce. Very little effort put in. Would have expected £9.50 sort of price tag. The other diners on my table wernt wowed either. Also seemed to take along time to come while the place wernt that busy. Shame really as it used to be really nice there, with good quality and value.

Stopped for a quick pint on the way back home, lovely atmosphere and staff.. no complaints 👌

Great food great service and great people

Lovely lunch and not expensive. Maybe outstayed our welcome though.

Excellent food quality and portions, all home made soup/sandwiches and chips. £10 pp for a very filling lunch.

Very busy at lunchtime food not great! But wasn't the most expensive.Nice outside seating over looking the canal and field.

Great food and service only problem no disabled toilets

I honestly don’t know how to put into words but this place is so special, it’s not just a pub or a place to eat, it’s so welcoming and the experience is incredible, it was my son Noah’s 3rd birthday and we got the best, most special treatment, thankyou to the girls for singing a happy birthday to Noah, thankyou to the waitress who served us, thankyou to the women who served us the carvery and a big big thankyou to the women who owns the place as she is such a lovely women. As we was leaving all the staff and customers sung Noah happy birthday, honestly the best experience! X

Sat on patio area overlooking canal as dogs are allowed outside, not inside the pub.Had chicken sandwich with roasties,gravy,stuffing ball. Staff were polite.

The best mince and onion pie on the planet. Good beer and lovely staff..what more does anyone want, oh yes, a great price and they deliver on that too! A must go to pub. Hang on, don't, or if you do leave some pie for me 😉

Fabulous pub, lovely location. Staff very helpful and very knowledgeable about gluten free food. Very good value and excellent food

Always a nice friendly place to go to, on the river idle. Lovely food and real ales.

We dined here with family and we're immediately seated. The first server took our drinks order and quickly brought them over. We were given menus and decided what we were having but 20 minutes later had still not had our order taken. Another 5 minutes passed and my husband asked a member of staff if we could order our food. She said yes. Another server came and said that she thought we had been served, she took our food order and we all ordered a carvery. 15 minutes later whilst sat in the boiling hot conservatory we still were no further forward with eating. My husband again asked another server about our carvery. She then proceeded to get our tickets so that we could get our carvery. When waiting to be served we were rudely asked to move out of the way by a server. At this point I just felt like walking out but after nearly an hour of waiting we stayed. Carvery was nice but the service was terrible. We even paid at the till to get out faster. The lady on the bar was so lovely and it's a shame the younger staff aren't as considerate.

Fantastic pub.. The Food was delicious.

Inside of the pub is a bit dated but the outside terrace more than makes up for it. It would have been a 5 🌟 but the beer wasnt very cold and on a burning hot day thats what i looked forward to after work haha

Our first visit with our relatives and we really enjoyed it. The staff and service was fantastic. The food, was really good, we thoroughly recommend the Steak in Ale pie. 😋 We loved the atmosphere and the lovely setting. We'll definitely be back.

Went to pie night on Tuesday, fantastic choice of pie's, very good value for money £10 per head, so impressed we re booked next week. Excellent, highly recommended.

Five of us had a lovely birthday meal today for my hubby's we had 2 Ribeye Steaks with a bottle of red, liver bacon & sausage, served with mash & peas, Steaks cooked to perfection, absolutely delicious, served with nice crispy chips, garden peas ,lovely onion rings , tomatoes and mushrooms, Can certainly recommend and will be coming back 😀😀

Sat in the bar area looking out onto the water watching folk in boats pottering around on the water, Had the chilli con carne which was very good. Staff were lovely, food took a while to arrive but worth the wait.

Simply amazing, great tasting food, friendly staff and overall great service.

Amazing food, really great value, great beers and lagers and fantastic staff. We dined by the canal as 2 families and nothing was too much trouble THANK YOU

Excellent food and drinks and very reasonably priced

Food was good, but I think we hit this pub on the wrong day. There was a canoeing event and the staff were a tad occupied. However, good setting and a pleasant place to sit

Lovely position, good very tasty food will definitely come again. Next to the canal so will attract people of all ages. Dogs welcome

After rowing on the River Idle with the race finish being just by the pub, the renowned steak pie with chips and peas along with a pint of cider went down exceptionally well. Great food with super service doesn’t disappoint.

Attended tonight for a family members 60th. We came with 2 children and one with an allergy. Couldn't of been more helpful. Thanks for this as it's sometimes difficult with it. Food we had was amazing. Would definitely recommend the steak and ale pie. Packed full of steak and at a very good quality! Will be coming again soon. Thank you.

Went for a belated birthday lunch.Staff were extremely attentive and food was lovely.

Just perfect, great service, beautiful food amazing location. Highly recommend.

We didn't get food but looked and smelled amazing. We're booking a Sunday dinner soon. Great staff, friendly and a beautiful area to have a drink

First visit to this pub. Sat in the conservatory. Had the steak with peppercorn sauce, chips and onion rings. The whole meal was delicious. Finished with rolo cheesecake it was yummy. Will definitely be visiting again

Booked at the last minute to accommodate 13 of us, thankfully they squeezed us in. Food was excellent and an added bonus was pie night, so the price was even better! We will definitely be going again, especially as they have offers on most night. Great food, service and excellent value too, what more could you want

Great place, great food, such a shame my favourite meal has temporarily been removed from the menu. (Liver&sausage)

Great place for a really good meal

Had a family meal here yesterday for the 8 of us. Staff are really nice and the locals are super friendly. Food was fantastic and the staff member with the Spider-Man tattoo has an excellent taste in superheroes 😂 will be here again, used to come as a kid and always been fantastic, highly recommend!

Excellent carvery! Went with the family and loved it.

Brilliant food . Atmosphere and service. Lovely place to eat

Good food and service lovely place

A friendly pub with friendly staff. food was delicious big portions we had a filled roll it came with side salad and crisps

One fish perfect the 2nd overcooked. Great atmosphere

Best pub in the area without a doubt. Fantastic atmosphere when they have live music on Sundays. Food is delicious whether you choose carvery or off the menu. Love this place.

Always a great place to visit, food is good, varied real ales, sensible prices, good service and friendly.

Great pub, lovely food, fish and chip night is superb, staff very friendly and attentive, definitely recommend 👌

Wouldn't eat here if they paid me.Hosting the grove n rufford evil fox hunt meet and no its not trail hunting do your research its sick

Don't use this place while they host illegal hunts.

This pub supports illegal fox hunting by hosting the Grove and Rufford Hunt.

Pro fox hunting pub no thanks!!!!!

This place looks so lovely, but I will not be going while it welcomes an illegal Hunt. Fox hunting has been illegal since 2004.

The owners have things they need to address - stop hosting illegal hunting.

Top pub, friendly staff and good beer.

We had Sunday lunch at the Haley Gate Inn today; what an excellent meal!! This very attractive pub stands on the banks of the River Idle with waterside access. There is an outside terrace, a beer garden and lots of dog friendly seating areas. (Watch out for Vera, the resident cat though!). There is a choice of a carvery with beef, turkey, ham or pork (or vegetarian option), or a meal from the menu that you can personalise with your choice of vegetables and sauces from the carvery. Portions are very generous and the vegetables are freshly cooked and delicious. Prices are reasonable, £12 for an adult carvery or item from the menu. Child portions are £6. We had a delicious lunch, finishing with a portion of chocolate orange cake, and chocolate fudge cake served with your choice of cream, icecream or custard. This popular venue gets very busy, so be sure to book your table first.

Had an excellent meal here at a good price

As per usual great food and beer.

Excellent service of fantastic snap.... Nuff sed!

Great pub to visit for a drink by the river or a meal !

A friendly welcome, promptly served with drinks and the food was very tasty , definitely will return 😋

While since we've been here and it looks great. Lots of work been done, really impressive. Would like to try a lodge here when they open. Really welcoming pub. We'll be back.

As always incredible value for money, cannot fault the meal deals. Staff are super friendly and helpful, went mid afternoon just after a bank holiday, so not many people, but that’s just timing. Obviously going back again

Today was my first time here, really liked it. Great service, warm friendly welcome and lovely food, good value for money.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon for our anniversary lunch, fairly busy but not overly so. Manageress was welcoming but waitress was quite rude. 40 minutes after ordering we were still waiting for our food, went inside to complain, the waitress came back out, no apology and asked if we wanted more drinks while we waited and food wouldn't be that long and asked us again what we wanted. Another 15 mins, still no food so we asked to see the manager to be told she was very busy and would be around 10 minutes before she came. Asked for a refund as we had paid on ordering at which point the food arrived, closely followed by the manager who apologised and gave us a partial refund. Food was ok but spoiled by the experience. Sad to say we won't be going again.

Such a welcoming atmosphere. Very friendly staff couldn't do enough for us. Busy Sunday lunch but still very attentive and friendly. Had a lovely dinner

Excellent staff and food, I would highly recommend a visit here.

Went for a family meal. The garlic chicken gave me food poisoning so will not be going there again!

The staff are very obliging and family friendly 😁

Beautiful bar location food and drinks

Simply the best pub pie & peas that I've ever had Update. 13th may 2023 We loved it so much last time that we went again today. Sadly the steak and mushroom pie was incredibly salty such a shame as we travelled a long way as well.

Friendly staff willing to go the extra mile

Lovely lunch and a friendly welcome as always. Highly recommended.

A great place to eat, excellent food and service.

Fab little find, was looking for somewhere to grab a bite to eat and it provided what a lovely place

Great food, decent prices, fish n chips had massive fish. Waitresses were polite, friendly and when not busy were chatty. Bar staff not so, huffed when i didn't have the exact money and not a smile to be seen. Lovely setting by a river, car park is rough driving on it and got building work going on at present outside.

Great country pub in a beautiful Riverside location

Lovely friendly pub set right next to the river. The food especially when Steph is cooking is amazing.

Nice pub/restaurant, good quality home cooked food and variety of dishes, On different days, they do specials, like fish & chips day. Friendly staff and country pub atmosphere, overlooks small river. Fairly priced and good variety of beers.

Had the monday madmess menu meal, wow absolutely beutiful and definitely worth the £8 per meal cost.

Lovely place great food good value staff really friendly and helpful

Food is absolutely amazing, proper adult sized portions, and very reasonably priced. I'll definitely be back 👍👍👍 And the river Idle is just outside

No dogs inside was disappointing, but staff and food were good. Recommend the Fish and Chips special!

We went in on valentines day, with the children, not expecting to get a table seeing as we hadn't booked vut the staff found us one and wete particularly friendly and welcoming to all of us. In fact one of the ladies there was our unpaid photographer dor the afternoon and took some family photos for us.. Can't complain at all. The food was lovely too and service was quick, lovely atmosphere and general cleanliness was really good. We will definitely be going back again. 5 stars doesn't quite do this place justice! We were very happy with our time there and in fact have been each time we've visited!

Very friendly staff and we always enjoy the food. Visit at least once a week.

Fantastic food. Staff very welcoming. One of our favourite places to go. Xx

Had a wonderful Sunday carvery, plenty of choice for meat, veg and potatoes washed down with a well kept pint. Friendly staff and good val, wish it was my local!

Lovely food and beer here, also nice and warm and friendly

Good quality drinks at a reasonable price

I've been the 3 times & each time I go the meals are absolutely amazing. Pretty cheap and the staff Carn do enough for me

Great and delicious Sunday lunch. Good value for money and never disappoints.

Fabulous home cooked food, friendly welcoming staff, fish and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce £11 for 2 people. Wonderful value for money, If you live or are visiting the Isle of Axholme this is a must visit pub.We are definitely returning 😊. All meals are cooked from fresh produce, home made pies, curry, fish and chips if you like home cooked food, this pub is a must.

Five star service , five star food. Amazing experience

Been for fish and chips special 🐟🍟great value. Good selection of beers to choose from ☺️

Friends pub, with the tastiest meal and plenty of it. Baileys cheesecake also delicious 😋. Hope to visit it again if Mr family can take me. Xxx

Went on Sunday with our daughter and husband had the carvery exhalent plenty of everything very friendly staff

Delicious food, friendly staff and good value for money

Great service, brilliant for gluten and dairy free, lovely coffee. Just a shame we couldn't sit inside with a dog, but there is a good, sheltered, Riverside outdoor eating area.

Fish chips and peas, awesome quality, fabulous service, second to none👌been back tonight steak and ale pie😍, awesome standards

Great carvery you will not be disappointed 100%

Excellent food. Warm, friendly atmosphere. Employees couldn't do enough for you.

1st class sunday lunch - been several times and each time delivers on quality backed up by great service. A choice of 4 meats unless you want a slice of each for same price - all the normal accompanying items with garden peas too which most places skip - good choice of puddings especially recommend the fruit crumble with custard all washed down with a good John Smiths.

Good no nonsense Sunday carvery. £11 pp...Good value, big portions and welcoming atmosphere

Best Sunday carvery anywhere plus great beer, friendly staff and locals. Perfect.
