The Picnic Basket in Newark and Sherwood

Thanks to Claire and The Picnic Basket they provided an excellent buffet at our home for 26 people to celebrate our Golden Wedding in July. Beautifully laid out and labelled up. Selection was amazing. There was quite a lot so most of our guests went away with their assorted ‘doggy’ bag. Would highly recommend and would not hesitate to hire again.

I ordered a mega full English. 4 bits of bacon, 3 sausages, 4 halves of toast, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms and 2 black puddings. £6 for some of the tastiest breakfast you'll ever have.

After being so impressed after our first visit recently , we went back for lunch this week . Food delicious , service good , the two ladies , Karen and Rae , both very friendly and welcoming . Can't praise this place enough and will be a regular stop off every few weeks . Brought cake home , such generous portions .

Visited for first time today for lunch . Very clean and well decorated , friendly staff , very accommodating . Food absolutely excellent , delicious omelette , chips and latte , all piping hot , best I've tasted in ages . Lots of choice , prices very reasonable . Couldn't resist some fresh cream lemon sponge to bring home , which was also mouth watering . Will certainly be visiting again.

Had the big breakfast, probably the best one I've had for the price, 10/10 for presentation, and the food was excellent, polite staff. Well worth a visit

Excellent food, lovely , friendly staff, good choice in menu , during the lockdown and easing of restrictions , we relied heavily on this cafe for takeaway meals to add a bit of normality to life. Always served with a smile and nothing ever too much trouble for them .

the breakfast Delicious and the staff very helpful, OK for wheelchairs' good menu and good prices and if the sun shines there are a couple of tables outside

Called here for breakfast inbetween shopping..very nice food friendly staff and a good menu in this busy cafe..

This is ok if your having a take away, but not so great to sit in because you smell of the food they are cooking, eg breakfast or chips. When we walked in the tables were full of pots which hadnt been cleared and the service was very slow

Lovely clean and tidy cafe excellent food and very friendly staff Well recommended take away or eat in

called in here on the way to doncaster Staff were all very friendly. Breakfasts were really nice,good hot food. Drinks nice and hot which i liked as some places are not. Prices reasonable would recommend if passing by this way

Call in for a great breakfast, and friendly service. Proper village cafe, if shopping in ollerton give this place a visit. It's only small but it's a real treat, sure if you visit you will love it.

Walked past the picnic basket today and having been there quite a few times in the past thought i would pop in for breakfast and a hot drink and relax for half hour or so reading my papers.

Yo tenía el desayuno mega para el 9 semana en una fila y como de costumbre, es lo mejor que he probado en mi vida. Juro que consiguen sus ingredientes desde el cielo. El personal es el mejor que he conocido todos amables y gente agradable. 10 / 10 de mí se vuelve cada semana.

This place is honestly amazing! Incredible range of food at very reasonable prices. We visit the Picnic Basket every week and they never let us down. Week in week out they serve excellent food very quickly. I've never had any problems with the food order, quality or service. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend going here. Also would recommend ordering a Mega Breakfast. A great all day breakfast at an unbelievable price. If you haven't been here before I recommend you should!

I've had the mega breakfast 9 weeks in a row now every Thursday and it never fails to impress me. Nothing compares to this cafe and I shall be returning each and every week as the feeling I get after eating is incomparable to anything else I have experienced in my life. Thank you for everything picnic basket

This is absolutely stunning. Wow 😳 words can't describe how good it is! 5 stars. Get the mega breakfast you won't regret it, see you again next week.

im ill at moment and son brought me a breakfastfrench stick . it was very long and full to bursting of bacon sausage egg tomatoes in fact too big for 1 meal it was delicious .he also got me alamb and mint pie . also very tasty i willuse this cafe often and fully recommend it

Un usuario regular de este café. Sin alboroto aquí es simplemente el más limpio, más sabroso, café más asequible con el personal más agradable en la zona de ollerton. Para llevar o comer en la calidad de la comida es siempre la misma, preparado en un ambiente limpio con pasión y atención. No es difícil conseguir un bacon o un desayuno justo cob justo, así que ¿por qué tantos outlet loter local se equivocan?

Nice food for little money, great staff, served quickly. A little cramped in there but it is a small place and cheap to eat. I'd go again.

I have been to the picnic basket for the all day breakfast twice now and each time it has been thoroughly enjoyable. The cafe is quite small so perhaps not wheelchair or pushchair friendly but the place is clean and tidy. The drinks were bought to the table and the food arrived shortly afterwards . The portion sizes are just right.

Great place to eat, staff are very welcoming, fast service, very clean. I look forward to my visit whenever I'm in the area Would recommend to anyone.10/10

I always look at reviews before I go to cafes or restaurants and after seeing the last bad one but all the rest were good so I chanced it and I'm so glad I did. Don't know what this women was on about slow staff, they were great and lush food not your everyday cafe and owners are nice lovely people. Go try it I did and it's a little gem in Ollerton be back again very soon!

Me and mum usually go here but this is the first time we have been since its been taken over! Its terrible my mum had a coffee before you got a biscuit now you don't. Tea tasted like coffee! We waited half an hour for my bacon and mushroom cob and my mums breakfast which has shrunk and cold, the lady who was bringing out the food forgot the toast the same lady who forgot the toast served toast to someone else and we had ask for her. Service was shocking food was shocking!

Great food and a friendly atmosphere, lovely staff who couldn't have done more for us. Would recommend for a pitstop any time

Called in for a cup of tea and a bite to eat after shopping, really enjoyed the food was fresh and would defiantly recommend the cheesecake. The all very friendly and welcoming. would defiantly recommend it

Lovely cafe in ollerton with great friendly staff. Food is lovely and really good value for money. Definitely worth a visit.

Really enjoyed my visit the food was fantastic I could not fault one thing and also the staff where very polite and professional , it might be a small cafe but you can not beat this place for Taste , Quality & Price I would recommend anybody who visits or lives in the area pop in and enjoy the food as I & my family did most definitely the best cafe around for miles

We found this cafe to be lovely and clean,the staff were very welcoming. The homemade food was bloomin' lovely,plenty of it and very reasonable in price. The best thing for me though was the homemade cheesecake....gorgeous! Thanks Picnic Basket,will be seeing you again soon.

Some of the staff here seem to bully others. Today I witnessed an elderly member of staff calling the younger one names and being really mean. the food is average and a little expensive.

meals a little over priced for what they are but its your choice what you spend i suppose. staff usually make the food right in front of you which is good, but without gloves - not good. (please change that?!) the atmosphere is a little awkward, to walk in to the cafe you have to walk through someones fag smoke who is lighting up right outside! food and fag smoke is not a nice combo. if you sit outside your sitting with loads of fag buts. then depending on the day you go and time of day the staff seem quite hostile and over worked, the young women that served me when i went in last time were nice though so i suppose it just depends on who is working that day. dirty pots are left in the kitchen for you to see or on tables. the music they play whilst you wait though is varied. there aren't many tables to sit at so if you insist on trying, just take out. its cheaper. or better yet try sister snacks or oasis (who has much better opening times). but it is a small business in a small town keeping some family afloat, it will probably never be some big social hotspot because of location but if you do go it is a experience!

Great atmosphere great food amazing homemade cheesecakes and pies . The staff are lovely and really friendly. There is a good variety of home cooked meals and they make a gorgeous frappe.

what a fab place ,well impressed with the great home cooked food and good value too.Great atmosphere even though a small place . Nice to see breakfast cooked on a hotplate so good and healthy no fat used and all cooked fresh . In my experience easily the best Ollerton has to offer

nothing to fancy good value and good food not the best but you do get what you pay for still like going in though no more Morag is gone

It's a small place, but a good example of a 'greasy spoon', but it's not really! A bit pricey, for what it is, a clear second to the Oasis on Sherwood Drive, but ok and well acceptable. Not many tables so you have to pick your time. Overall, get in rather than pass by.
