The Reindeer Inn in Bassetlaw

This place used to have good home cooked food and reasonably priced, good beers. It's changed hands at least once perhaps more times since I last went in but post lockdown, someone is obviously trying to recoup the money lost whilst closed. I ordered two pints of beer - not the mega expensive poseur's lager - and asked the girl behind the bar if she'd made a mistake and taken for three pints, it was that expensive. Didn't have any more, chose against eating there and have not been back since. Ridiculous prices. Shame because it's a really nice setting.

We have been going to the Reindeer for the past year for takeaways etc, i have to say the owners are amazing, they have fun with the bar staff on quiz nights and treat them as equals, the attention to detail where customer service is concerned is second to none. We always feel welcome by the owners and by the staff, fabulous food and the car meets are amazing, we managed to make just one but we’ll be there next time. 100% recommended for drinks, food, pizza and Sunday lunch. All home cooked to a very high standard.

An excellent public house by the pond, and with a stunning church to photo across the road. Excellent outdoor seating. Friendly welcoming staff, and a good selection of beverages. Well worth a visit if passing.

Stopped on a Saturday night for the pub quiz - very welcoming and a great quiz. Feels fresh, yet traditional and local. Will hopefully be back

This was a place we used infrequently and reluctantly over the past eighteen months. I won't say more about the old management but concentrate on the new. A much better atmosphere, more friendly and a landlord who has the personality to succeed. He is experienced in the pub/catering trade and knows that the only way to success is hard work! Good luck. Not a beer man myself but love the pizzas. Now a pleasure to visit.

Attentive staff, spotlessly clean, lovely home cooked fresh food at reasonable prices and a superb pint. Hats off to the landlord, landlady and staff. I hear the present owners are leaving for pastures new, which I'm personally sad to hear. To the new owners....... you've inherited a cracking pub. But also got a tough act to follow. Note to ernoldbird66.....Your first visit to the pub was that bad an experience that you had to visit again,and all the way from Wetherby.....wow!!! What a sad individual!

Been many times and this pub keeps getting better! Great atmosphere and staff, pizza meal deals are great value and the setting is amazing, pond play park beautiful English village pub.

Great Pizza, well kept beer, wine has certainly improved over the last few years. Great landlord and landlady, have done the village proud over summer with events and expansing food menu. We are sorry to see them leave but hope the newcomers keep up the good work.

Great pub, great beer, great food, good atmosphere, no complaints, keep it up...... feel very welcome every time I come to this pub.... Cheers

Enjoyed delicious pizza and salad on Friday evening. Friendly and helpful staff, reasonable price and nice atmosphere! Will visit again!

Read glowing reviews but spoke to friends who had been and not given reviews but were disappointed. Tried it myself just to see, ordered several pizzas (four of us). Waited a long time which would not have mattered if worth the wait. It wasn't! bland food, all tasted the same, edible but with your eyes shut couldn't tell the difference between the pizzas. Not cheap either so first and last time for us. Other comments, had to clean the cutlery, not a deal breaker, indifferent staff, a truly unmemorable meal.

I don't usually leave a second review of places I've visited but after recommending it to friends & getting their feedback of the great pizza's they enjoyed I thought it's worth another review of the Reindeer Inn. I dropped in with a friend & found the same friendliness from the staff, great selection of drinks and a 2 pizza & sides meal deal, just as fresh & tasty as before, another very enjoyable evening out, thank you!

Popped into The Reindeer for pizza, I would highly recommend the food which is freshly prepared with plenty of variety and the meal deals are good value for money. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, great table service, a very pleasant visit.

This is a local family pub, with friendly staff and a great welcoming atmosphere. It holds classic car night's every other Thursday and they are always a great hit. The pub offers some of the best pizza I have had for a very reasonable price. It's a great pub, give it a try and see for yourself.

Tried the pizza night again in July. Supposed to be home cooked by the landlord and highly rated by him. Problem is there are so many places doing pizzas these days and several in this area so to pull in the punters yours have to be as good as or better than the rest. This time these were hot and looked OK but were bland, tasteless and not cheap so not impressed. after the food was served we were not approached again by staff to ask if everything was OK, they probably realised it wasn't. Still, I suppose if you live locally and are not too fussy then this place fits the bill. It would help if the tables were properly cleaned too. Ours was sticky and had glass rings, just gave a bad impression.

Nice location, with nice seating area outside. Play park and large field to play football right next to the pub makes it good to bring the kids. The bar staff that work there on a friday night are excellent, they make you feel welcome and are polite ( seems most of our village drink there since our pub shut down, which to be honest was proberly down to poor bar staff) . The place always seems very very clean and the food we have had as always been excellent. Like somebody said in a previous post the place seems clicky, but most village pubs are like that. Nice place to just sit outside and chill.

Lovely friendly place the hole family was made welcome and has I nice play area next to it . good food great service.

Excellent atmosphere, Friday night pizza's are amazing. Friendly staff and owners, they go above and beyond for their customers. Lovely outdoor area for a sunny afternoon drink. Would highly recommend anyone to visit and we'll definitely be revisiting.

I have visited this pub a few times now, both with family and friends.

Went for a pizza with friends and family it’s the best pizza I’ve had in a long time. Friendly atmosphere and lovely people and finished the night with a game of pool and friendly faces will definitely be going again 😊😊

Visited this friendly pub tonight for the Friday night pizza special as we have done many times before. The service, value and atmosphere were as always brilliant.

Been to this pub Loads of times very reasonable and cheap great pool table for 50p a game. 5/5 Highly Recommended

Saturday late afternoon and pub was buzzing with customers watching rugby or just socialising. Whole family were made welcome and the food was great, even for the grand children.

Had a fantastic pizza with the family tonight, with a big warm welcome from the land lord and lady. Friendly helpful staff and lovely food.

Living fairly locally, myself and friends use this pub pretty regularly. I’ve tried other pubs close by but non - but none serve beers anywhere near the standard of this place.

Weird place, something of a dinosaur, owned by the landed gentry. If you're an outsider don't try to engage the landlord or staff in general conversation or you'll be viewed with suspicion. Very limited opening hours and service, could not survive without subsidy. Looked to me as if they are just playing at running a pub but visitors must make up their own mind. Details now, went for a pizza on the one night a week they're available. I spent five years as a pizza cook for a national chain so know a bit about cooking and service. Four of in the party, food was variable to say the least. Pizza bases were partly overdone and partly underdone, as was the toppings, God knows what sort of oven they were using and the pizza base mix probably needed better quality ingredients. They were edible but not worth the money and ten minutes away you can get a first class product for the same money. Drinks were OK and prices average but hygiene could be a problem with customers apparently being allowed to let their pets drink from the pub glasses, see Facebook. Not sure alcohol is good for dogs either! There seemed to be a definite division of customers, the "in crowd" obviously mates of the landlord. The "out crowd" there to make up numbers. I visit a lot of pubs and bars, key features to me are always, atmosphere, service and quality of food. Sorry but the Reindeer just left me numb with an unpleasant taste in my mouth. We left after eating and went to a nearby pub, next village, what a difference! separate review.

We visit this pub regularly for just a drink as well as for the pizza night and car evenings. We have never found the pub to be anything but friendly, welcoming and homely. The Friday pizza evening is one to visit as the pizzas are homemade and are beautiful, a good size with a good variety of toppings.

Weird place, something of a dinosaur, owned by the landed gentry, landlord pays a minimal rent so long as he keeps the pub bloodsport and dog friendly.

Frequented this village pub on & off for many many years as I grew up in the village. Seen many changes throughout this time & all of them for the better, ending up in the present day & new hosts for the last year (give or take as I don't keep a diary) Any way I've been several times throughout this last year due to the classic car nights that run through the summer (& now I believe midday on Sundays but not done one though) There's a warm welcome and friendly smile when you enter & a good selection of usual beers/lagers etc & a couple of hand pulled ales. great! The main reason for leaving this review though comes from last Friday evening visit which resulted in a couple of beers & a pizza deal, really very nice home cooked Pizza's with fresh ingredients made by the landlord to order. Had to wait a little but then noticed how many boxes came out of the kitchen and found out that they take orders from people coming in & also do deliveries so the wait was not long at all, dominoes could learn something here!

I visited the pub for the first time in a long while for its Christmas Quiz. The new landlord and...

Went twice as couldn't believe it the first time, equally bad experience both times. Earlier in the year paid a visit for "morning coffee". The Reindeer was supposed to open at 11am, I was visiting friends in the area and we just had time for a coffee before we went out for the day. There bang on eleven, as were others, no one arrived till gone ten past, no apology, "could we wait for ten minutes while she opened up and got the coffee on". The general attitude seemed to be "she", whoever "she" was, was doing us a favour. Not impressed so went to a Garden Centre on the way to Gainsborough, a much more professional outfit, subject of another review.

Called in when out cruising in my classic car. Very nice place, warm and welcoming. Found that they have a car meet twice a month. Went again to the car meet, very interesting. Lots of different cars there and a great bbq. will definitely be returning

Puedo ser subjetivo, ya que este es nuestro local, pero tiene un gran ambiente, muy acogedor y amable. Recientemente han comenzado sirviendo café y tortas, pizza y ensaladas. Probamos una pizza y ensalada, la semana pasada, eran muy sabroso y una excelente relación calidad-precio.

La comida es agradable, así como la cerveza. Una ubicación estupenda para los niños, ya que hay un campo de fútbol, parque de juegos, zona de skate, y un estanque con patos para mantenerlos entretenidos mientras te puedes sentar y observarlos desde el jardín de la cerveza. Bien merece una visita.

El reno es uno de los más acogedores bares del pueblo que he estado. La casera es muy atento y se preocupa por sus clientes. Tienen cervezas de barril y es obvio que mantienen la bodega muy limpio porque cada pinta es delicioso

deseo corregir una crítica que hizo anticuado 9 th 2014 Febrero en lo que se refiere a los renos Inn & es gerente; sin embargo, la revisión fue removido por Tripadvisor en sí, que no era una verdadera cuenta.

18 de nosotros presentamos para una gran comida familiar. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y la comida era de primera categoría, especialmente el pastel de carne con cerveza.

Been and had a few Sunday lunches and a meal in the week. The food is of a very high standard. The service is also great. The young couple now running the pub will bend over backwards to make you feel welcome. This is my local pub and what a great pub with amazing play area for the children. Highly recommend this place for food or just a nice drink in beautiful country surroundings.

Dined here in mid July and enjoyed a lovely home cooked meal by the pond. Staff were welcoming and very friendly. I ordered homemade pie of day with 'proper' chips. The pastry was to die for and as for the chips, well, they were the best I've ever had!! Definitely will be going again and recommend to everyone!

Had Sunday lunch here back in July, due to word of mouth of new management. And it's safe to say we weren't disappointed! I had roast beef and my partner had roast pork, which were both cooked to perfection, there was also plenty of vegetables unlike a lot of places around here! The new manager is a credit to the business and obviously so is the chef! Cannot wait to go back and try the regular menu! Excellent service and very reasonably priced! Will be back soon
