Torworth Grange in Bassetlaw - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My wife, 2 children and visiting relatives went to your cafe today. And I was absolutely astounded by the poor service and lack of communication. We arrived at around 10:20 and was seated outside, we had our drinks order taken and breakfast order, but was told the kitchen was quite busy so to expect a slight wait… What we was not told was that the slight wait would turn into not getting our food until gone 11:40. When I got up to ask the young man who was serving how long the breakfast would be, he replied saying they stop serving breakfast at 11:30 not realising we had ordered already he said it shouldn’t be much longer (no apology given for the wait). And even then some of the food was cold, and the bacon my wife had was inedible. Will definitely not be returning

Only visited the cafe. Extensive range of drinks. Nice selection of food on the menu. Very long wait for food (1hr). This is indicated on the menu but still longer than expected for ours at the end of lunch rush and people on a neighbouring table had a similar wait for just soup and a sandwich. The Torworth platter could do with more bread as half a bread roll doesn't go far with pate and three lots of cheese. Was very tasty though. Halloumi burger was very good but fries needed some seasoning.

We only used the restaurant and loved it, the food and atmosphere were excellent particularly the young lady singing, beautiful voice and great choice of songs. We sat outside on the decked area which is where the entertainment took place. This place was chosen because it's equal distance between our son house in the south and our place north, we were not disappointed, we had a great couple of hours, and will definitely call again. Recommended

Superb rest stop. Ample parking great service and astounding location.Large selection available and some amazing items for sale in the shop👍👍

Lovely conservatory style cafe though like everywhere it's getting pricey. Added bonus of ladies clothes shop at reasonable prices and a deli part to cafe. Visited again in August. Found shop reorganised. It's more open aspect and I found it more appealing. Still good service and quality.

Fabulous place and excellent food

Had brunch here. Friendly staff, reasonably priced, really good food. And a cute farm shop

Staff were pleasant, but we had to wait far too long for our drinks and food.

Staying on campsite and the fishing lakes are like a swamp run down over grown it’s a shame

Wow the restuarant staff were very nice and friendly staff,nothing was too much trouble for them,they wished my sister a happy birthday,The food was delicious and fresh,definately book again to go,the price was excellient for what you got,5 stars every time for me,well do done torworth grange x

Ate in the cafe Very disappointing. Food was cold. Dirty glasses(lipstick on one) had to wait a long time for service.Expensive for what they provide. It needs to improve dramatically. People won't return. It's a lovely spot such a shame to have to complain.

All the pathway round the lake are flooded and 3/4 of the fishing pegs are under water and can't be fished cause full of reeds so can't be used

It's a little deli on the side of a reasonably busy road that has caravan pitches, about 4 fishing lakes, a great little cafe/diner and some clothes, handbags,shoes, etc... Deli offers some great choice of artisan breads, honey and other bits and bobs to tempt your appetite... Not the biggest but worthy of a look and perhaps some lunch.. Caravan site is well laid out, quiet level pitches fully serviced with electricity and water.. At £24 to £28 a night it's worth it...

Wow what a beautiful tea rooms and cafe. We came here for breakfast, the menu offers loads of choice and the food and drinks were all excellent along with the service. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and dog friendly too! Staff were super friendly and attentive. Afterwards we mooched around the gift shop and found some delicious treats in the farm shop. Something for everyone and so much more than just breakfast! The lunch menu was tempting so we will be back soon!

We decided to come and have a look at the campsite before looking at booking for the caravan, the café was very nice clean and the sun was out so we sat outside, the male member of staff was very polite and helpful, We ordered food and beverages , we saw that on the menu that the waiting time could be up to 45 mins in busy times, Our food arrived and was very nice , we finished our food and then managed to catch the member of staff and he came over to remove the used plates, He asked if everything was ok and we replied stating that we was still awaiting our drinks, we told him that we didn't want them now and he headed off to the girls behind the counter making the beverages , we stood in the queue to pay for our meal and the girl who the member of staff talked to about the drinks asked us to come over to another till , we followed her over and she asked for our table number and we told her, we also said that the drinks needed to be removed from the bill as we hadn't received them, she pulled a face and tapped the till screen and then told us the price, we paid the bill and proceeded to ask about the caravan site and how would we look at booking a pitch , to be told don't ask me its all on line! at no point was there any explanation of why we didn't get our drinks and the attitude or the member of site when we asked about the caravan booking was very rude. we cannot fault the food first class but the staff attituded wasn't the best and not even give us an explanation why the drinks didn't arrive ( even if she had said sorry i missed the order as i was busy) we would have understood. we left rather underwhelmed about our visit

This was my second visit to Torworth Grange as I had eaten the most delicious breakfast here a few months ago, so we came back for lunch. We were seated quickly and invited to choose a table, so we opted for one outside with the most incredible view over the water. We both fancied scampi, and I noticed the milk shakes made with ice cream, and I couldn't resist! I felt like a child as it was absolutely delicious 😋 , initially I had chosen bananas, yet when it arrived, it had caramel sauce on it, so I swapped with my BF and drank his strawberry one! Very, very tasty indeed! The only thing I would have added was a piece of actual fruit on the top! Very rich, it was too. When the main course arrived, the plate was full of scampi, a decent portion with some chunky chips and a choice of garden or mushy peas. I chose Garden, and BF had mushy. Both were equally satisfying. Service was prompt from order to table, and prices are reasonable too. Well, he paid, so the prices were excellent 🤣😂😘 We will definitely be back soon...

Booked for 12 for afternoon tea for my mother’s 90th Birthday, service was okay, but got the initial order for teas and coffees wrong. The place is extremely hot on a sunny day which meant by the time we got to the cakes they were melting, the sandwiches were already curling as they arrived, nothing that covering with a damp clean cloth would have prevented. In general it’s a good afternoon tea with quiche sausage rolls and pork pie and an excellent selection of cakes and scones, but they have to do something about the heat, ceiling fans or some air con units would have made it much more comfortable. Beware as well if you ask for additional tea you will be charged!!! Which has never happened anywhere else I’ve been, normally it’s as much tea as you want.

😳VERY PRICEY FOR BASIC FOOD!!! Lovely setting, very pleasant staff, nice enough food, but THE PRICES!?? £17.25 for scrambled eggs on toast 😳with a fizzy water & one tiny glass of wine! Just outrageous! Sadly not doing that again!

Went here with my friend for breakfast. It was busy and we did expect to wait a while but was surprised at nearly an hour… We ordered the large breakfast, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, hash brown, mushroom, tomato’s, beans, toast and black pudding. I didn’t want black pudding and my friend didn’t want beans, black pudding or mushroom and asked for poached eggs. After the hour, they came out and looked awful to start with and then we were trying to work out what was wrong as they had the wrong things on each plate and the poached egg looked like someone had been sick. The staff acknowledged how horrendous it was and took it away… They had only put on the items for a smaller breakfast, everything was like warm (apart from the toast that was cold, and the poached eggs never came back out… The staff would only knock off 10%! When we argued that they were charging for large breakfasts and items were missing and cold they also took off the two coffees. Then at the till tried to charge full price again. They said the issues were because they were busy and they had new kitchen staff who didn’t know the menu! Absolutely pathetic excuses for a business! Really not impressed. We will not be returning to pay £12.00 for wrong food and cold food. If you have money to waste then this is the place!! Also it is a dog friendly place but they allow dogs to eat from the plates.

Went to restaurant for lunch with a friend. We both ordered lasagne. When it arrived it didn’t look very appetising, a square lump of mainly pasta, very little meat content. It wasn’t very warm and was still chilled in the centre. Waitress was very apologetic and took the meals away, after taking our alternate choice. We were not offered any form of compensation for our disappointment or for having to wait for another meal ( a free coffee or dessert would have been nice). The replacement meals were ok but quite small portions for the money. The menu seems to have changed recently, less choice and more expensive than on previous visits. Staffs were very helpful and polite but overall it was a very disappointing visit.

Pleasant staff but waited forever to be served.The ploughman's lunch £13, an absolute disgrace, such poor value for money: half a breadcake, what's that about? Piddling bits of cheese and porkpie. It had gone downhill but hoped with new owners, it would have improved. Going home for lunch now!

Peaceful, tranquil and extremely helpful and friendly staff. Lovely food.

Food was excellent. Staff friendly and helpful.

Rude manager with very little sympathy, will not be attending again.

A wonderful garden centre with a coffee shop.

Breakfast and a cuppa for me and t'wife. Bowl o' watter fo t'dog and we was made very welcome. EE-bah-gum, it twernt cheap burr-it-dint need cookin' and I dint have to wesh up. Tasted yummy....

Restaurant cafe . Shocking 😲 . Against the rules for the customer to order a sausage roll to sit inside cafe. Must be taken away. Food platter ordered too with plastic wax as part of the meal.. 🐀 meal.. disgraceful place...

Amazing food and lovely, friendly, helpful staff

Friendly staff Nice meals Lovely location for caravans to stay around the lakes even have dog grooming

Highly dissatisfied disgusting food quality suggest you find a new chef good local Produce ruined bland very funny taste throughput even the grinch takeout hot chocolate nothing like the picture tasted of cream and water and sugar VILE too many staff and not enough service never again avoid at all costs left starving not able to eat it and let me tell You my husband would eat dog food but could not eat that wow and £50 so not even cheap !!!

Lots of food Items being sold out of date loads more nearing the end of sell by date. Would not recommend.

Great spot for a coffee and looking over the fishing ponds

Only called in for breakfast and wasn’t disappointed. Good quality produce cooked really well. Nice surroundings be even better in summer out on the decking.

What a lovely meal we had, Afghan chicken which was recommended and was delicious..

The Kinder Bueno Mocha cake is next level! Can't wait to visit again when the weather perks up - The seats on the decking area over the fishing lake are calling me!

terrible food would never return

We really enjoyed our stay at Torworth Grange. Such a lovely place. The cafe and shop facilities are great. Had a super lunch there. Staff really friendly. The pitches offer some privacy with hedges in between. It's lovely to wake up and look out at the fishing lakes. We noted from some other people's posts that they thought the noise from traffic and trains were a distraction, however we didn't think that at all. There is a super play area for the little ones, my grandaughter loved it! There was a super picnic table and benches for caravanners to use on the caravanners lawned area, but one set really isn't enough. The facilities are reasonable, but we felt that one toilet for all caravanners was nowhere near enough, and hygiene could be better. My husband used the shower and thought it was good. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Suggestions: 1. An additional wooden picnic table and seating would be good on the caravanners lawned area. 2. An additional toilet would be good 3. The paper hand towels in the toilet were on a box on the floor at the side of the sink, which were getting wet from peoples dripping hands. They should be in a wall mounted dispenser. 4. Approaching the entrance from the North, you could do with signage further back on the main road as its not clearly visible until your basically on top of it. We would definitely use this site again 😃

Torworth Grange was good , very nice food and lovely staff. Clean and tidy , great views as well

We booked this site after looking at reviews. Lovely looking site with views of nice lakes! but that for us is where it ended. There 15 pitches with one unisex toilet and one unisex shower.. There is nobody to supervise site when cafe closes and its anything but peaceful with the busy A638 very near and a very busy main train line. We booked on pitchup and where is said what time we would arrive, I put 1pm then somebody rang me to say checking is 2pm and if I wanted to come at 1 I would have to pay £8. Never had that before. Hard standing are very small and have to walk out on muddy grass. Nice size pitches and better grass on grass pitches. All pitches has its own water. And food did look nice in cafe. Never tried it!

From the moment I discovered this place, through a dear friend, I haven’t been able to stop coming! The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Ebony who could not have been more supportive with our son’s dietary needs. We often find it difficult for us all to eat out at lunch with coeliac, dairy intolerance and vegetarians and while the menu does not extensively cater for this, the adaptations and the key ingredients they stock make it worthwhile and a genuine treat (oat milk for hot chocolate, separate fryer for GF chips, good quality GF bread). The salads are also proper salads with plenty of fresh ingredients- in fact everything g ever ordered has been superb. The atmosphere is lovely, decor is calm and quaint, and e large conservatory is light and airy. Honestly can’t recommend this place enough, from tea and cake to delicious lunches, I can’t imagine you being disappointed. Thank you Torworth grange family 🙌 (and sorry again for the challenges we present you!)

A very pleasant place nice food !

I have visited Torworth Tea Rooms quite often, and have always enjoyed the lovely food, inside and outside. There is a gift shop, a boutique and Delicatessen. Outside, there is ample parking, beautiful lakes and an outside area overlooking one of the lakes, with a child`s playing area. This is a lovely well planned Tea Room, catering for all ages. I truly recommend a visit.

The food here is lovely and the staff are very welcoming.

Good food/drink. Came in with my mum for lunch today, All servers were miserable and did not crack a smile once. The woman who served me on the till was basically glaring at me the whole time. Next time, i’ll take my service somewhere that does not look down or glare at you next time. A smile goes a very long way.

Called in for Saturday lunch, leek and chicken pie, veg , chips and gravy , gorgeous Served by friendly and helpful staff. Bit of a wait due to it being busy . Will definitely go again.

Lovely handmade food, and pleasant staff & surroundings. Has a 5* Caravan dite and a playground

Love the place. Nice little shops and lovely food and wine. Very pleasant staff.

A little gem of a place! Went for breakfast/brunch. Lovely staff and the food was excellent. Also has a small farm shop and clothes shop as well

Delicious food, well worth a visit, friendly staff, reasonabky priced,could just eat a full English thinking about the place t.b.h! 🤣

A series of unsanitary events. Dirty glasses. Old food on the cutlery. Hair in the food. Rubbish all over the floor. Then to bring the experience to a whole. Poor customer service. 😢

Lovely food nice staff, tranquil area, a must place to visit.

Over priced under serviced and just a bit disappointing tbh.

Not been for a while but just as good as it always was. Ham excellent as l remember. Thanx. Happy Christmas

Just back from a long weekend there. Absolutely a lovely site and pitches are nice and big. Fantastic site with the wildlife and lakes and bonus being the onsite Cafe/Restaurant, Shop and Clothes shop such a lovely added bonus. Staff was lovely and friendly and the restaurant in fact everywhere is lovely and clean. Was so lovely waking each morning to the views of the lakes.

Enjoyable chicken and leek pie.

Fantastic food and a fantastic venue

Took a long detour to get here on the strength of a good review elsewhere. When we arrived were told quite rudely that they couldn’t seat us or give us any food because the kitchen were too busy. Two staff in the background seemed to be having a disagreement. Our kids unfortunately were really hungry, so we ended up finding a supermarket to buy sandwiches. I wouldn’t come back

Nice surroundings and friendly service. Food good quality and tasty. Indoor and outdoor seating available, dogs accepted outside.

Lovely and friendly service, but few downsides. There is a £2.50 charge if you want to share an adults meal. i asked whats the charge for its apparently for the cost of bringing and taking and washing the additional plate. im sorry but i havent seen that anywhere in my whole life of dining out experience in the uk or overseas. in my opinion its ridiculous. plus the quality of the sausage in sausage and mash felt quite bad. more fat and weird cheewy bits rather than actual meat...so all in all average food, weird charges but lovely service.

Excellent food and not expensive. A brilliant campsite aswell

Lovely clean little site, plenty to do locally or go fishing on the sites ponds.

Good food, good views and good service

Restaurant was great and food was superb. It also provides camping, so we stayed on the campsite for a couple nights. This was very clean with good sized grass pitches with electric and water hookups. The fishing lakes were nice but I think £8/day if you are already camping is a bit unfair. Should be included or be cheaper for people staying over. Only one toilet and shower but shower clean etc and decent size/suitable for family use. Overall a lovely place and we will be back soon.

What a great place to stop on a long journey. Lovely cafe and shop, and pretty lakes to sit and enjoy your breakfast.

Very nice , food, drinks and small deli counter has some interesting spices and flavoured oils and vinegar.

Got a very nice deli counter and very helpful staff. Very nice porkpies and duck eggs!

Lovely restaurant / cafe / farmshop / playground for kids We walked from Daneslake. Plenty of parking space. Very nice lunch and a decent price for the quality. Sat outside as it was a little busy inside. We had fantastic views of the lake. And service was faultless with all the staff very friendly and approachable. Small play area for the kids too. Will definitely be coming back.

Found this place thru Sawday’s ‘The Extra Mile’ - V disappointing takeaway experience - £4.50 for a scotch egg that looked half cooked, and a £2.95 dishwater latte - not sure they take their coffee that seriously - the birds along the A1 were very happy though 👍

1/12 hours to get coffee & cake told that they were busy on arrival but they don't even have to cook it. Then coffee was only warm not going again

Stopped here for lunch on our journey north on the A1. Lovely food and nice place to sit outside with dogs. Great place to stretch four paws legs round the lakes and fill out tums efore journeying on .

Lovely food in pleasant surroundings

Booked to go for lunch today. 16th Aug.. Lovely service, tables being cleaned before any one sat down. Nice choice of food. Good value for money. And staff are so friendly, it's a very nice place to go. Plus add bonus, with there being a fab shop to look around...

Very clean and tidy. Tables are very well spaced out making it feel very safe. Staff wear visors or masks. Lots of open windows and a choice to sit outside too with umbrellas for shade if you prefer. Service is very friendly and with a smile. Lots of choice in the menu and some great daily specials. Food is homemade and looks amazing. Plenty of parking. Great little shop, good for buying any gifts. Lovely views over the lakes too and keen fishers can pay to fish in the lakes.

Very nice indeed! Light and friendly tea room with lots of space sitting outside overlooking a little lake. Very friendly staff and a big selection of cakes. Pretty little shop with all kind of things from clothes to local specialities. I definetely will go there again - but closes a bit early.

Lovely site very accessible. Quiet.

My friend and I came to Torworth Grange as we had never visited and thought we would have tea and scones for a birthday treat and our first visit through Lockdown re. Coronavirus. The staff were excellent, the facilities very clean and tidy. We had a lovely afternoon. I then revisited in July 2021 with my mother and friend and we then reserved a table and had the same, Scones & Tea and my friend started to play old swing songs ie. Dean Martin etc. to my mother who had recently had a stroke, and the other customers were enchanted by this. The outdoor area is really lovely overlooking the fishing lakes.

We love this place. Visited regularly before covid and pleased to say this place is just as fantastic and so pleased to see them back. The food is amazing, highly recommend the afternoon tea and the staff are the best you can get, friendly, polite, great service - they are a credit to the family business. An absolute must for a visit (with a few takeaway treats from the deli - you won't find a better scotch egg!).

Had a lovely time for a family meal- lovely service, good quality food and made us feel welcome. Great area for the little ones to play on to. Thank you.

Very helpful ,great service and very reasonably priced. Best place I've been to since lockdown ended

Beautiful setting for a lovely lunch,highly recomend

Fantastic all round nice place, great staff and great kids play area too.

Great place... Great caravan site..

Excellent homemade lunch with a wide choice of desserts to follow. The service has significantly improved from previous visits, possibly due to fewer tables because of distancing during Covid? Highly recommended!

Me and my friend came here last week for her birthday lunch, as soon as we walked through the door our eyes was to attention with all the lovely things for sale in the shop. We sat outside overlooking the ponds, we was served by the lovely ebony whose customer service was ten out of ten. Nothing was to much trouble and it's nice when all the staff are happy as it then feeds onto the customers. Food was amazing, well presented and we even had cake! Cherry almond is my new fav. Good value for money. Will definitely return

Food great and staff polite and professional

Came here with my parents for a late anniversary celebration. Fantastic as always! Amazing service, amazing food, 3 meals and 4 drinks for a little over £30! Amazing value too!! Never had a bad experience. Have and will continue to recommend

Lovely place and fantastic service, food

We hadn't booked, but was welcomed to take a table, the food was spot on we had the breakfast menu plenty for everyone! In a lovely setting, Will be going again!

Friendly service and fantastic food made a high quality ingredients

Finally got round to visiting Torworth Grange. This place has everything from women's clothing and shoes to chutneys ,Ham ,cheese and flavoured oils . There is an array of hot and cold food available also a specials board. The sunday lunch I had was very nice but would of preferred it served on warm plate. Really good service allround especially the young lady in the clothing department ,very patient lots of time for you i think her name might be Sonia ...... Overall a well-deserved 5 *

Had Sunday lunch was waiting twenty mins before anyone came to take order all 6 adults had Sunday lunch ordered drinks at same time . Took 15/20 mins before drinks arrived and then further 15/20 mins before meals came cutlery followed ,food was barely warm .No one came to ask if everything was ok during or after the meal then sat 20/25 mins with dirty plates on table waiting to order sweets .Ended up asking for bill that was when the last surprise came £12-95 for one of the worse and overpriced meals I've had ,this is my fault for doing what Brits do best not complaining .Was particularly shocked because of great reviews this place as received all I can say the people who have reviewed Sunday lunches have had some bad meals in past

I think the place is in a lovely location, if you sit outside you get stunning views of the ponds. The service was great, we had two lovely girls looking after us. The only downside I would say is it’s pricey and not worth the money . I ordered a pancake stack and Two pancakes and two slices of bacon was served for £6.50!! I don’t think 2 pancakes qualify as a stack! My friend ordered the large full English and again the portion size was tiny for almost £8!! I get that the produce is fresh and homemade but I think they really need to look at their portion sizes for the prices they are charging.

Nice steak and ale pie, excellent gravy and real chips.

Although busy & they said they were short staffed, the service & quality of the food was excellent. This is a beautiful spot if you've not been to relax & unwind if only with a coffee or tea & homemade delights. There's a small clothes shop & all manner of fantastic foods to treat yourself to. Highly recommended 👌.

Nice grounds, lovely restaurant & good deli with a great little clothes shop & small selection of gifts.

Amazing we loved every minute, breakfast there is to die for definitely recommend. Will be back very soon

Fantastic little weekend getbaway with the caravan kids loved it too. There is 5 fishing lakes here if ya in to that and I saw some big fish being caught.

Beautiful breakfast and a good pot of tea. Price was average for the type of place. Beautiful surroundings and good service. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic lunch today and great service. Visited with a friend and had a relaxing time. Finished our visit with a trip to the awesome ladies clothing shop.

Today we had a wonderful home made chicken and leak pie and coronation chicken . It was absolutely delicious . The staff, the service were excellent . We highly recommend this excellent venu
