The Red Hart in Bassetlaw

Visited for Sunday dinner. Service and staff excellent, food was good quality and cooked lovely, 10/10 We would definitely recommend and we will definitely rebook, thankyou

I only went for the food but I must say this was an amazing find. The food was freshly cooked and tasted divine. Definitely worth the visit.

14 of us for precooked Sunday dinner,food was very good.

Absolutely fantastic sunday dinner. Well needed after a day slaving in the garden. Staff extremely friendly and the atmosphere is astounding

Passing through from clumber park and it was lovely. Staff polite, coffee was good. Lovely little village. Definitely be back

We went here for lunch at 1:30pm on a Saturday and we were very disappointed. The food wasn't good. The service was slow. The place was all a bit grubby, and the bathrooms were dirty.

My favourite pub in the area, beer is good, service is excellent and food is great. A really welcoming place to while away your time. Would recommend to anyone.

Service a little slow but worth it for good food. Husband had the burger. I had the seafood platter as a main course. Couldn't fault either.

Well ........ there was 17 of us pre booked our menu choice. Sam the lady from the bar was so helpful ......some of the food was nice not all of it. The chef/owner did not come to see us re our concerns. We were disappointed as we had our relatives from Australia and it was our last night together. Cannot recommend it

This was a sad day for us (Mom’s funeral service) but the buffet lunch we had was just right. Served fresh and with plenty of variety and choice. Many comments from guest how good it was. We had several young people in our party and there was amole to meet their appetites. Jacqui and her team were attentive and very helpful to some of the older people in our group. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended and many thanks for helping to make a sad day a little easier.

We used the Red Hart at Blythe for my Mum's wake after her funeral at Barnby Moor Crematorium. We were very satisfied with Paul and his staff and the hospitality received and all guests were very impressed. We, as a family decided to return at some point to dine there and both me and my Dad went there this afternoon for lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal we had, the food was homemade, extremely tasty and good value and were spoilt for choice with the specials board. We will be going back with the rest of the family very soon and would definitely recommend Paul's food.

Good food at good prices, will go again

Awful meal for Mother’s Day, myself, partner and our baby got seated upstairs, there was no atmosphere, just one other family were sat there it looked like an empty function room. It was cold and drab I felt like we’d been put out of the way. Food was disgusting. carvery meats all swimming in water in one dish together already carved up. Vegetables were solid as a rock and the lady had fetched fresh mashed potato which when we started eating was cold. The food and atmosphere does not even deserve 1 star. Horrible experience McDonald’s on the way home and it’s ruined what should’ve been a lovely family day. Will never return. We used to visit this pub often and it has always been fantastic with a lot of variety! What has happened? Maybe new ownership? Either way save your money and look elsewhere. Very disappointing.

Dog friendly, really great food and lovely staff who make you feel very welcome with really good service. Saw this place and decided to give it a try, so glad we did - will 100% be returning!

First time visit 7 of us having been to the Indian next door Agra House. A double bonus Stones on tap....gorra convince Ar Lass that we need to visit again and I'll be chauffeured. Just to highlight, we didn't stay, so I haven't "stared" the rooms, which I hope is no disservice to the Hotel.

4 of us enjoyed a lovely evening here. Starters and main course were spot on. My vegetarian partner who is very picky really enjoyed both of her dishes. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely warm welcome from jaqui and the red hart staff. Great atmosphere excellent food. Amazing prices of meals you will not leave feeling hungry. Mixed grill with the garlic sauce was the best meal I've had out in a very long time. Will be returning very soon, I highly recommend the red hart 10 out 10. Thank you 😊

Absolutely delighted that our local pub is now under new management and really starting to take off again. We went for a carvery today and I can honestly say it’s the tastiest I’ve ever had! A proper home cooked Sunday roast….delicious!! The meat was beautifully cooked and the veg was all tasty with a bit of bite left in it (no hint of soggy sprouts!). The welcome we received was warm, friendly and genuine. The service was faultless. Well done to all concerned it’s great to have our pub back in the hands of people who care and a chef who knows that excellent home cooked food is as important as the welcome. Highly recommend

Very cold when we arrived but food was lovely and very reasonable we had travelled from Huddersfield to meet someone.thank you 😀

Where to begin, we went out as a family to honour my mums memory who we were burying the next day this pub was where mum often went for lunch with her friends and really enjoyed it. Last night though everything was totally shambolic, we had booked for a party of 11, when we arrived all went well, waitress came and took our drinks order, then came back to take our food order. We ordered starters to share, then various different meals, the waitress went round each of us and took our orders. She then came back to say there was no sausage left for one of our orders so we changed that to another meal. That was the last we saw of her as she left the pub shortly afterwards. After waiting an hour we went to enquire where our food was, to be told it was on the way, then the lady who we presumed to be the landlady came and said ‘I’m sorry but we didn’t see the order for the starters, do you want them with your mains? We said we would just go with the manis. When the mains arrived one order was totally wrong another was a meal we hadn’t ordered, she the said ‘we’ve run out of steak pies do you want chicken and leek, we agreed to this. After another wait with half of us eating and the other half waiting for the pies, the pies arrived, they were awful completely inedible, my sisters meal was still frozen in the middle and my daughters looked disgusting. Almost like they had put left over bits of meat in a tin and covered it with something resembling pastry but looked like raw dough. We sent these back to the kitchen. Then the chef came out and said quite beligerently ‘I can only cook what was on the order’ then walked away before we could reply. By this time I was in tears because of the reason we where there. Surely the cook is responsible for the quality of the food delivered to the table. The landlady to be fair couldn’t apologise enough but kept blaming the young waitress who had taken the order. Surely blame is laid at the managements door and the chef. The landlady didn’t charge us for the pies and everything else at half price. Needless to say we won’t be returning any time soon

Best pub in the village, for a pint and a chat in a proper tap room. 👍

Fantasic food all home made been 4 times now love it well done x

Disgusting place staff have attitude it’s like something out of shameless!! People smoking next to the door that leads to the back garden pub stinks of cigarette smoke just the whole place looks dirty glasses above bar dead flys in them! Wouldn’t like to see what’s behind closed doors defo wouldn’t recommend eating here let alone popping in for a drink!!!!!

Staff outside smoking by the back doors with customers (very unprofessional) staff was not washing their hands after being outside, very unhygienic, above the bar was an array of dirty glasses covered in flies, the decor is very run down and stained furniture. Was going to order food but what I’ve described so far out me off, definitely will not be returning.

we arrived 1:30pn on saturday for late lunch. the place was almost empty. we orderd small fish and chips, burger, steak pie and mixed grill. the meals were tasty. fishes were fresh and the burger was juicy. there was plenty meat in steak pie. the mixed grill was good. one small thing that needed to be improved, was the chips that needed to be crispy.

Not very good, tatty outside & wouldn't serve us food as it was too busy - place was virtually empty.. 😒

We didn’t stay here but had a lovely home cooked meal staff were amazing Thankyou

Visited many many time and food quality good, Alan at the Carvery always a laugh and always accommodating, Daughter went the other day and was charged £10 each for a two and four year old for carvery (Ridiculas)

Lovely pub in the centre of the village. We had chicken and mushroom pie with mash and mushy peas and an all day breakfast. Served lovely and hot - can't fault it! Well be back 🙂

Go quite often. Sharers to die for.

I haven't felt compelled to write many reviews but came for carvery last night as a family and having heard really good things I was very disappointed. Carvery - meat was dry and looked very much like it had been sat there all day but unfortunately the worst part of the carvery was when I got to the veg and there were dead flies swimming with the peas Appreciate it had been a long hot Sunday but the waitresses were very inattentive/ didn't know what puddings there were/ managed to spill a full pint over my husband and the table with very little in the way of apology.

Nice, friendly pub in a pleasant village. Varied, interesting menu served very efficiently. Really enjoyed our lunchtime meal, will certainly return.

Live nearby but haven’t been in for ages. Nipped in for some lunch today with my husband and our dog Rocky. The food very nice and reasonably priced, the staff are very welcoming and friendly.

We booked a table here for my daughters 18th birthday. The staff were very accommodating & couldn’t do enough for us! Superb food at very reasonable prices. Would highly recommend & will be returning very soon!

Great food, friendly staff and good beer.

Food was great but its freezing inside and none of took our coats off during our visit

Always friendly, good food and great selection of beers and lagers

Called for lunch ,lovely service lovely home cooked food , not been here for many years used to go with my parents for afternoon tea in the early 60s , will definitely be calling again soon .

Top notch Sunday dinner. Great quality carvery with a huge selection. Lovely friendly staff. Great atmosphere and clearly popular with the locals. Would 100% recommend!

Had lunch here but not to our taste. Felt that overall it was rather tasteless with quantity being given priority over quality. Service was fine but overall we won't be returning.

Nice country pub serving a range of hearty meals at reasonable prices

Booked at short notice, was aloud to take dog in. Which was good. Owners were really nice couldn't do enough for us. An the food was lovely. I had the steak mince pie one off best meals I've had in a while. Was 4 adults an 4 kids an everyone went away full an happy. Definitely be going back. An 1 last thing sell stones on pump 👌

Good local pub serving real ales and cracking food .

A group of us had a meal there last week..great menu with plenty of choice and reasonably priced, all four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals... very tasty...highly recommend !

Had lunch at the Red Hart today with our son and his dog Frank. The food was very good,served hot, tasty and good value. The owner (staff) was welcoming and friendly. Great place to break your journey or meet up with friends or family.

Great local. Very friendly to both humans and dogs! Well kept beer. Good food, reasonably priced. Excellent position just off the A1!

We had the carvery - something unusual as we all hate carveries! On the way to order the lunch of our choosing we saw the succulent roasts and wonderful array of veg ... and changed our minds. Excellent choice, beautifully cooked, friendly service and a very reasonable price. Because of the warm weather we ate in the marque/verandah in the garden however the pub interior was also very nice. Thank you Red Hart! The dog enjoyed the vist too

Friendly helpful staff. Comfortable atmosphere. Have visited this place several times since discovering it about 12 months ago. Excellent good value food. Highly recommended.

Went on Saturday, never again. Was charged 8 pounds too much initially and given the wrong drinks, I asked for soda and was given lemonade. The glass had a dead fly in it. The waitress said nothing when I pointed it out but glared at me then replaced it. I waited with my husband having paid for two carvery meals over 25 mins, even though they were not busy at all. Staff walking around like they were in a trance doing everything slowly. I assumed my tart was being made because I had ordered the vegetable tart which was eventually brought out and I was told I should get my veg to go with it but my husband will have to wait till someone can serve him the meat. I said I’d prefer to wait for him so we can eat together. I hovered my hand over the tart to see if it was hot enough to wait till they served my husband only to feel no heat. I touched the top and found it was cold. I stuck my finger in the middle and discovered ice crystals. I went to the bar to complain and was stared at. I said I’d like our money back and was told to wait. No apology or attempt to offer anything else. Five minutes later the same member of staff is cleaning a table. I asked why my money had been not yet been refunded to be told she’d asked her boss… that was it! No apology about a further wait or how long it would take. They have no communication skills or basic manners. I waited another five minutes and went to the bar again where the girl came back with the money for my meal. I said what about the other meal, she replied, “well he’s still waiting on the carvery till someone can come out and serve him”. I asked her if she was joking, did she seriously think he’s going to sit any longer and wait or eat there when I’m not eating and whoever is in the kitchen has no clue about food safety. Again no reply just a bovine stare and then another wait till the rest of the money came from someone in the back. I assume the person in the back is the manager. The attitude of this place is appalling and I wouldn’t ever eat here. I’d not trust people so ignorant, lazy, oblivious and rude to serve me safe food. They have no idea of customer service and the word sorry isn’t in their repertoire. Avoid at all costs.

Nice outside seating area very good food excellent

Proper local with great food and friendly staff.

Brilliant pub. Friendly staff. Reasonable price

Had a lovely Sunday dinner will be returning

Called in for a journey lunch break as an alternative to the usual services and glad we did. Great choice of specials + doggo friendly too. Welcoming service and good value 👍

We called in on the way back from an appointment for our tea. The food was cooked from fresh so had to wait a little longer but it was well worth the wait. Lovely food and friendly staff, will definitely go back.

Called in for lunch as we store caravan nearby. Tempura prawn starter was cooked to perfection with batter exactly how it should be for tempura, so I don't care whether they came out of a bag or freshly prepared, they were perfect and nicely presented. Lots of tempting gastro type food on the Specials board but we went for the safe option of beer battered fish and chips. I liked the fact that we could choose between small or large fish, as we are not big eaters so the small was just right. Again, lovely batter on the fish and chips were as they should be. Prices were reasonable by todays' standards. We got there before it became busy, so service was faultless. We were asked by the Waitress and Chef if everything was alright, which is a sign they are confident about the quality of their food. I couldn't find any fault with the food or service, so will definitely be back - maybe Sunday lunch next time, which was recommended by some locals we spoke to.

Popped in as a drive by as the weather was glorious. We had the Steak and Onion Baguette and the Olive Fetta and Sun-dried Tomato Baguette. Both came with home made chips, coleslaw and salad and were beautiful. Very reasonably priced and great real ale too. Worth the drive out and we'll be back

Absolutely fantastic fresh food, and the staff are very friendly

My husband and I haven’t been to this pub for quite a number of years and thought seeing as we were in the area we would drop in for lunch - I have to admit nothing has changed much the staff were very friendly and attentive the drinks and food were to the table very quickly and tasted very nice although we couldn’t finish our meals as they were big portions but very nice indeed ! Very nice friendly country pub which I don’t ever think will lose its charm ! I would definitely recommend to friends and friendly and would absolutely go back again if were in the area

Had a lovely meal with my walking club, the landlord and landlady were very welcoming, great food in a cosy pub,can highly recommend.

Always a friendly welcome and a great place to come for a drink or bite to eat.

Map shows photo of Hotel frontage but lacks information that the carpark is at the back.

Food was nice but definitely overpriced. £22 Christmas menu and portions were quite small. Especially the starter and pudding. I was quite shocked when I saw them to be honest!

Lovely village pub smart clean and tidy. Felt welcome.Two ladies behind bar today were exceptional How a village pub should be .We were a bit hungover today so didn’t do the food justice but everything we had was great. Our teenage son didn’t like his steak pie but that’s just personal taste. He prefers a traditional full pie as apposed to a lidded pie.The blue cheese dough balls we tasty but a little bit dense My burger was perfect and my husband enjoyed his cheese and onion baguette We will be back

Good people and beer, especially the Guinness

Had 2 off steak and onion pies,they are now mince meat not as good as chunks.prawn starter very good.

Just stopped for lunch charming little town with very friendly people food was good and nothing to much trouble

We’ve just been for an early meal at the Red Hart, our first visit. There is a comprehensive menu which caters for all tastes (including vegetarian) but we all chose to have the carvery. The choices were beef, pork, turkey and gammon served with Yorkshire puds, sausages and stuffing, and lots of fresh vegetables. The mashed potato was gorgeous and I could have eaten a plateful of mash and gravy - yum! And you can have as many refills as you can eat, including meat!! The staff are top notch - well organised, obliging and very friendly. I’m looking forward to our next visit!!!

Staff was very good and helpful but food wasn't good sorry

Lovely food and friendly service and atmosphere

We visited the red hart a couple of times when staying near by.The food was good quality, well priced and portions for us huge.The staff are really friendly and beer was good. There is a big beer garden to the rear, all in all well worth a visit.

Bar lady very polite & friendly outside area very nice thank you .

First class food and drink. Both quality and quantity excellent, you will not leave here hungry. The home made soup and pie were beautifully made and served recommended for any one with an urge to try good and drink

Nice pub. Nice food. Excellent food.

Called for early tea after a walk from Carlton-in-Lindrick. Good meal served by a helpful and chatty young lady.

I’m not particularly a frequent visitor of this establishment probably 2nd time I’ve visited. Sarah and Megan was absolutely outstanding with the service. I tried a Stilton crumble not the best. Very sweet my wife had a cavery. My mates had fish pie and Stilton with. Beef no issues at all with there food Very clean place prices are reasonable. Will be going back at some point to try something else. I would recommend. This place.

Cannot really judge as it was a one off drop in however service was very accomodating and friendly, menu seemed limited but acceptable, though we did not eat there eating was not our intention

Just went to be nosey ended up having Sunday lunch. Could not believe how friendly and efficient the staff were. Choice of meats,pies,stews,and veg mind blowing. Everything cooked to perfection. They also have a Delhi on site. The chilli scotch egg,chickenand chorizo and black pudding pies are a delight .

Lovely 17th century coaching inn Great hosts fantastic home cooked food at realistic prices well worth a visit

Food was great and staff couldn’t do enough for our large group 15 of us in total and all orders for drinks and food came out correct and no waiting we had a young girl serving us called Ella what a credit to this establishment she is she was patient and very professional taking our orders and accommodating whatever requests we had will definitely be back

Friendly host made to feel very welcome . Lovely food and plenty of it. Will definitely be going back .

Good ale good food friendly service 😋

Had Sunday dinner takeaway and it was delicious, amazing gravy so tasty. Good choice of veg, nice beef finished off with homemade sticky toffee pudding omg I'm in heaven!!

Never disappoints always top class food

Traditional village pub with lovely home cooked food.

Canoed through Drakeholes tunnel & paddled on down to here. Lovely trip. Nice enough pub. Elderly couples and families eating at the carvery. Covid regs followed. WiFi down. But good beer.

Good seating arrangement for the strange times we are in

Food is delicious, spacious and comfortable. Large garden and spotlessly clean. Huge choice of drinks too. Can't wait to return.

Wonderful staff and wonderful food. Definitely coming again!

A large and great choice for the Sunday lunch. Also everything was excellent quality. It was a carvery when we last went but I'm not sure what they are doing now due to covid.I have also ate an evening meal here and again... great home cooked food and decent sized portions.Good value!

The food in this Restaurant is absolutely wonderful 10/10 And the waitresses and the ball star a very friendly and always go out the way for you.

Fantastic accommodation, great food, friendly staff, what more could you ask for?

It was a nice place nice food was ok

Nice place to relax after a hard days work Food is very good at a reasonable price, bar staff were pleasant to deal with

First class food, great value for money. Lovely staff, lovely surroundings and first class decor. The carvery is great value for money, with perfectly cooked food, with a great choice.

Surprisingly good coffee. Stopped off for Sunday lunch on the way past. Nice atmosphere.

Very friendly makes pets welcome

Really nice food.rabbit pie was lovely.staff friendly n helpful.

We heard about this place from a friend,I advise BOOK a table for a Sunday lunch timeHaving had our own pubs that serve food we know how things should be.Carvery and Menu meals available at all times.We plumped for the Carvery The owner explained how it works ie,No need to fill your plate to overflowing as you can return as many times as you wish--Even for the Meats or other things on offer.Such as Liver & Onions,Beef Cobbler,Beef in Red Wine Sauce at lest 3 or 4 more that i can not remember. Service is excellent also serves a good pint of beer.If i remember correctly the bill came to Just under £25 for two carveries and two pints on John Smiths I really advise you to try this place,you probably wont go else where for a Carvery again.

Helpful bar staff but not much of an atmosphere. Very quiet and a locals place.
