The Waterfront Inn in Bassetlaw

Great place to visit Great location

What a lovely pub, Stuart & Karen make you feel very welcome, and there food is excellent. Entertainment every Saturday with some great turns. Watch out for Lance a solo singer with songs from the 60s 70s 80s 90s and some.

Always good. Always friendly. Food is homemade and lovely.

Great home made food. Great staff and service

Absolutely beautiful carvery, the Stilton cheese sauce is a must. Everything was cooked to perfection and the meats just melt in your mouth. Thanks for having us Karen and Stewart.

Just the most superb fish and chips. Very tasty, great surroundings, very welcoming landlady and landlord. I recommend this place very highly.

Lovely pub, friendly staff and amazing location

Absolutely no complaints certainly would go again

Unexpectedly closed. A shame because it was a good place. I hope it reopens soon

Really good pub, lovely owners, smashing location, good food and beer and good atmosphere every time.

Can't even make a decent cup of tea, needless to say we didn't venture to eat any food.

Just had a Sunday dinner .Excellent service ,choice of 3 meats,loads of vegetables. Absolutely 💯 Highly recommended 👌 New landlady and landlord very friendly and accommodate to your needs xx

What a difference a month makes.

Went last night and had camembert sharer and pizzas. Lovely food, great service, friendly place, good value. Either eat in the restaurant side or in the bar. Can't think of anything bad to say - even the beer was perfect!! Will return

Very friendly & most welcoming A lovely menu with plenty of choices , Food was well presented & very nice , The flat Iron steak was one of the best we've had in a long time, The service was exceptional , Would highly reccomend & we will definitely be going again

Called with the daughter for Sunday dinner & it was absolutely delicious complements to chef Paul & staff will definitely recommend 5 stars 🌟

Amazing hosts nina and Paul all the staff are brilliant

Went today for the first time and it was fabulous food, great service and a lovely atmosphere.. Will definitely be back..

We visited the waterfront inn today again for lunch, fish chips and peas then sticky toffee pudding with custard, absolutely gorgeous we had a lovely chat with nina what a lovely lady, we will be back again soon . Enjoy your daughters concert. Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon.

Great hospitality and food. Well kept beer too. Can’t fault it.

Went to see friends who were celebrating their birthdays, great atmosphere and lovely food. Owners are lovely people.

Came today 25th January, for the pensioner special, couldn't fault it, young woman who served us was so friendl

Fabulous pub which has just got new tenants . 2 cask ales on from Timothy Taylors and both were bang on . Well worth a visit.

So beautiful. Loving the new management. Great service and drinks, food was delicious and reasonably priced. we will 100% be returning soon thank you

Steadily working through the menu on Fiday lunch times!

Enjoyed an outstanding meal today with family and friends at this local pub, which has been greatly transformed & rejuvenated by new ownership. The staff were genuinely welcoming, enhancing the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The food was delicious, each dish a delightful experience. A subtle addition of a background music system like Freespace, would make this already fantastic venue even more exceptional. Highly recommended for an unforgettable dining experience.

Been for Sunday lunch and the service was excellent the meal was delicious the beer was second to none lovely landlady 10 out off 10 will come back again

Absolutely wonderful, And Nina is delightful

As a fool, I did not book a table. (Friday Evening) Many a place would have turned you away. But not this establishment. They explained the situation clearly and gave an approximate time that we'd have to wait. (45 mins) and to the minute our order was taken. The 3 difference dishes were served at the same time perfectly. All 3 dishes were delicious. Steak, Duck, and Ratatouille. We were offered a free round of drinks or desserts for our wait. When it was my fault, not theirs. Lovely hosts and lovely food.

We went to visit the pub on a Tuesday afternoon and it was closed (we hung on thinking it must open at 3pm) then nothing- we thought it was odd that on a Tuesday afternoon it was closed. Called the pub, no answer we then called the canal and river trust (incase it was run by them) to be told they don’t know when it opens etc - no opening times were available on google so we left. A month later we have been chased for a car parking fine! How could we have inputted our registration details if we couldn’t even get in the pub?!?! I appealed it stating to look on your CCTV you will see us sat on the benches near the road waiting till 3pm then leave which has been DENIED - despite writing to the civil enforcement I still haven’t heard anything! Furious is an understatement. Edit almost a year later!!! I paid the £60 parking fine under pressure.. Company didn't even acknowledge this! I sent supporting evidence - call logs, my bank statement my WhatsApp messages etc etc etc all ignored or denied - hit with a CCJ and £300 fine PLUS the £60 that they never even acknowledged they have so now fighting with my bank to get a charge back! You won't win just pay the fine - money making scheme!!!! I will never return here 😡

Lovely place to call for a pint, shame Stu and Karen are leaving to start their new venture.

Staff was friendly and polite, food was good aswell. Had carvery but will be back to try the lunch menu

This pub must be the most welcoming pub. I have been in. the landlord and lady are fantastic. The locals are very friendly, and the food is great. This is my second time in the pub, and it won't be my last

Fine issued to my grandfather for parking in their carpark when eating at the establishment. Parking is reserved for customers, which he was., However despite this they won't over turn the fine issued. Food may be adequate at best however be prepared to pay for a 100 pound fine for the privilege.

My 82 year old father brought his sister and husband for a meal only to be issues with a £100 fine parking fine! When he contested it the ownerwas very rude and put the phone on him stating he should have read the notice board. When he rang the cotractors they did the same. Totally discussed that you would fine paying pensioners for parking let's face it how many people would think to look for a notice board. Maybe you should ask people if they have registered their car when taking their order! None if us will be visiting again !

I brought my disabled nephew and brother (who were visiting from the states.) The owners were so attentive and kind. The food was fabulous! I highly recommend this pub as they make everyone feel welcome! 5 Stars!!!!

Popped in here with my daughter for a bite to eat. Nice friendly service and reasonably priced.

Great experience what with regular bike nights on a thursday, some lovely machines.

Great breakfast. I'll visit again!

I love the pub it a nice place to sit and let the world go by the cannel. The food is great and does not cost earth and its maining English pub food iits very nice and lots of it. I think its the best food pub

Stopped in my camper van,great time.

Absolutely perfect. Cannot recommend highly enough. The location is a great base to visit lots of beautiful places from. The whole place is stunning. The rooms are perfectly clean and spacious. Food is excellent. But above all we were astounded by the friendliness of every member of staff especially Sadie and Kelly who went above and beyond to make our stay special. We will be returning very soon. Thank you to each and every member of staff. Kevin and Tracy.

Had a super pub stopover in the camper van. Lovely quiet scenic location with walks, 24hr clean toilets, friendly landlord.

Lovely food. Lovely staff. Absolutely spotless facilities. Would definitely return.

Fabulous location. Fabulous food

Land lord said he would sort out a parking fine which ended up at £100 was very rude to this lady of 80 years old. She had come to a paid booked party at this Pub, last time a party will be booked here.

Lovly atmosphere hold bike night real home made food staff are lovly Nice walks and camping bang on

Top Bike Night Good friendly atmosphere 👌

Very biker friendly waterside pub

We went to The Waterfront for a Sunday lunch, it is run by a very hard working couple, the lady works on the bar and helps organise the tables the landlord works in the kitchen and on the carvery, I think that the day we were there, there was a uoung lady helping, but there is no doubt that they work really hard, the carved had 5 or 6 choices, the veg was good. And despite some of the less favorable reviews, we had a really good meal, good value and we will return.... The issue of the Carpark does need considering, but the reason is that people who do not use the pub, want yo leave their vehicles on there, which isn't fair. We had a meal with friends who were up from Cornwall, I asked the landlady if we were OK to go for a walk along the Trent after our meal, this wasn't an issue. Just ask, the machine to register is in the bar, as so as you go in, just ask where it is and put your Registration number in, sorted. Enjoy a lovely Sunday lunch and hopefully the next te we go the weather will be good enough to sit outside looking over at the boats. The Waterfront Inn West Stockwith, give it a try. But ring and check booking as they get busy. Happy Customer. 👍❤️

Parked here for the Coronation weekend. Excellent freshly cooked food. Pleasant and accommodating owners. If camping do not arrive before 3pm

A great pub stop for campervaners. Good food at a good price too.

Great beer,great food Lovely hosts

Great food friendly staff especially the chef who was very accommodating as we arrived at 2pm and had not booked x

Fantastic place nice food friendly landlord and landlady stu and Karen excellent beers

Absolutely amazing pub & staff. Karen & Stuart are both fantastic landlords who go above and beyond for me and my family every time we visit. Great entertainment & even better food. 10/10

Had great stopover last weekend,food fantastic all homemade and good value, great Act, electric and toilets for 12 pound per night,fab location , try it will not be disappointed 😉

Janet and I and the dog had a excellent Sunday Carvery and pudding. The staff were very friendly ,all the veg was fresh, and the meats just melted in your mouth. Will be returning.

Landlord can't do enough for you Cheaper than the other pub and better quality great place 👍

Very friendly welcoming place. Keep returning there

Received a lovely warm welcome from Karen and Stuart asked to register our van on arrival to avoid a fine. Had an amazing sunday lunch everything home made delicious then a lovely stroll along the canal. Water, toilets and bins were provided also EHU if required £10.00 per night £12.00 if using EHU Although we had a meal and drinks in the pub we still paid parking for the night. To be fair I think the car park belonged to another company . Will definitely go again The waterfront inn DN10 4ET WEST STOCKWITH MISTERTON NR DONCASTER

Great setting, overlooking marina at junction of chesterfield canal and river Trent, good walks about Great welcome from staff and clientele Caravan site adjacent

Good beer, friendly atmosphere, pretty surroundings.

Good food and drinks. Nice views of the boats in west stockwith basin.

Great service, good food, nice view 👌

Great food great friendly service

Very friendly staff. Excellent home cooked food.

Great pub, nice atmosphere and on a sunny day its lovely to sit outside with views of the marina. The food is excellent and there is a good selection of gins for me!

Lovely food & drink options. Homemade and delicious. Parking issue isn’t an issue, just need to put your reg plate in by the bar as all of the signs say it’s completely free!

Great food & lovely hosts - if you like a carvery - this one is not to be missed, I have had to edit my review from 4 years ago, I have read some of the previous reviews and I just cannot believe what some people are saying. Firstly- there is NO luke warm beer, secondly- who would leave condiments on an outside table with our English weather. And on to the parking situation, there is plenty of sineage for everyone to see. - if you go about with your eyes closed, maybe it's time to surrender your licence, because I dread to think what you are like when you are behind the steering wheel, and try to blame other people for your incompetence. This is a great pub & don't forget it, Karen & Stuart do a great job of trying to keep this pub open.

I went to this pub for a drink. Beer was luke warm and land lord rather grumpy. We wanted to know whether he has local beers and he questioned us. ("Why would you want to drink local beer anyway?") But the worst: we got fined for parking on their car park!!! Fair enough , there is a sign saying that one needs to register with the pub. But shouldn't the land lord/lady ask their customers out of courtesy whether they came by car and registered?? Just as a warning? We are fuming! The Waterfront Inn? No thanks!

Had Sunday carvery here today. Good choice of meats (4). Excellent large Yorkshire puds. Good range of vegetables, mashed swede and onions very nice. Blue cheese sauce to compliment the cauliflower. We sat in the bar as this is the dog friendly section. Landlady was welcoming and chatty. Will visit again I am sure.

Lovely ground floor room en-suite nice and clean lovey people and a great traditional breakfast would definitely stay again

Maybe it's nice and comfy to eat and drink, we wanted to park there and have a walk around Stockwith Basin then call in for a drink sit outside with our dog, was strongly advised by a customer this is a bad idea if pub owners see you park and walk off regardless if calling in after the walk he puts wheel clamps on your car, was told even dog walkers who drink and meal first does not give you a reason to take up his customer space even though you are a customer. So no probably not a nice place. Shame really..

Brilliant bike nights , good food , very eclectic mix of bikes . Great ride out if you're in the area

The staff were great really friendly and polite we felt very relaxed and the food of course was lovely well cooked and very tasty 😋😋👍

Always a good bike night on Thursday and good food

Excellent service and food. Will come again.

Really great place to visit on a bike, nice burger and chips for a bargain price and some great bikes knocking around. Great roads, great pub

Good service, great ale and great food. Would recommend to anyone. Still great ale and great food and a good service.

called in for Sunday lunch ,and wasn't disappointed I had the pork which was so tender,the veg was all fresh and and not overcooked ,and the YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS were the best iv had ,fluffy and crispy and I do a good one .but I have to say these tipped mine.lol.nice one stuart

Only went for Thursday night bike night which is great, small cafe outside selling food and drinks

Beautiful setting..really helpful landlady and lovely home made food...highly recommend

We had a one night pub stop over in our van. the landlady greeted us and showed us our spot and where all the facilities were .we booked an evening meal and wasn't disappointed !! great prices and good ample portions to boot .very friendly but would advise to book early as every pitch was full we will definitely be re- visiting.

Can't say to much as we sat outside most of the time as weather was great and there was a wedding party in the lounge/bar had a good laugh with the locals🍻👊😁

What a fantastic place! Called in for a meal. Staff very friendly and helpful great atmosphere fantastic food. Very kid and dog friendly. Also campsite and campervan stop over. Lovely walks along the canal. Great place 👍

Beautiful area near the canal great outdoor seating area we shared a vegetarian platter was well presented and tasted delicious the chef and staff were very welcoming would highly recommend

Nice place food great and nice environment to spend some time in staff were great

Absolutely disgusting customer service from the women! (Unfortunately) as it shouldn’t be.. my two little children needed the toilet and tissue, I asked a lady outside if we could go inside and whether it we’re open, she reply yes of course. We went to the toilet as we came out, a small brown hair (snotty) women approached me asking if she could help I explained the above and I said was this ok to do as it we’re for my two children.. her facial expressions was appalling her reply was ‘well it’s a bit too late now isn’t it’ her tone and approach to this was NOT friendly at all and made myself and my two children feel very uncomfortable never mind how the other customers may have felt. I would avoid this place like the plague unless you liked to be treated and spoken to like dirt! We are all human and this is not necessary. To the women if you are reading this I hope you are proud of yourself, you vile women!

Great place friendly and inviting, plenty of outside seating, good coffee ☕ too 🙂👍

Great place ,lovely couple who run the place 🍺🍺🥂🍷🍸

Bike nights have a great atmosphere where like minded people can meet up for some good food and a laugh.

Called in for biker night, a bit early but made very welcome by landlady. Great meal,lovely brown chips. Nice clean pub in Nice location. Going back in a couple of weeks. Well worth the ride.

Excellent service and great food wonderful place

Lovely pub, played a gig there to some lovely punters and Karen the landlady was wonderful! Looking forward to my next date in June!

Reserved a table and was looking forward to the meal, only to find out they were only doing carvery, was told to come at 2 because they were busy, when we arrived there was only a few people eating. Won't be going again

Lovely friendly people, food was delicious lovely thick gravy definetly a return visit , excellent value for money too,

Great little pub and friendly staff nice location

Lovely little pub in idyllic setting on the Trent marina! Landlord and landlady are lovely! We will be back to try the food and really want to stay in one of the super cute little glamping pods! :)

Pleasant friendly and informative staff. Nice outdoor seating area overlooking the marina.
