Town Best Cafe in Bassetlaw

This is one of our favourite places to eat, whether its breakfast or dinner, the food is served fresh and hot. The owner is a lovely bloke, and nothing is too much trouble for him. How anyone could leave a bad review is beyond me. We are off there today for our dinner, we mostly go for breakfast every other week but having a change today. We live 16 miles away so not local.

have been a few times, in past good.this time we had fish, chips and peas, menu said cod, but grey fish,not nice. fish soaked in fat/ oil, left most.our last visit.this week went to kennys, great.

best product quality,short waiting time,excellent service.... the portion(massive) is adequate to the price.... highly recommended

we had not been for a while, so went to see if the cafe was still good. meals very nice.meals cooked fresh while you wait.nice cups of tea . if you have not been give the place a try.

have pasted many times, so went for a gander. we had cheese and ham toasty with salad and crisps.meal was very nice, staff friendly and polite.clean place, not posh but no problems and will go again,cups of tea good.

Best Full English breakfast in town! Coming here for years, if you want to have a freshly cooked food value for money this is your place.

Dropped into Retford for a drive out. Found this Café on the market place. I had steak and kidney pie chips and peas. My wife had jacket potato tuna and salad. The portion size was just right, food was hot and tasred great. Thumbs up for this Café

Everything you could expect from a cafe with this name, only so much better. I think that Bangers and Mash is a good measure of a cafe. This was really cheap at less than £6 but was really good. Tasty gravy, a huge pile of garden peas and another pile of well cooked onions. The sausages were fine, and very good for the price. I am now stuffed and very happy!

Such good food always reliable never had a bad meal and ive visited often for over 10 years fresh prepared and everyone can have something different i love the salads the chicken curry is fab and the homemade pie of the day is gorgeous its a hard working clean cafe with the best food around very lovely

Good choice on the menu. Something for everyone. Very reasonable prices. Good old fashioned friendly service. We had tuna panini which came with lovely fresh salad, coleslaw and crips. Often walked past when shopping and always seems busy. Would have preferred a pot of tea instead of mug to get strength right. Also we had to wipe table down ourselves.. Would recommend and we’ll definitely be returning..

The Town Best cafe is ideally situated in the attractive Market Place. It’s clearly a very popular place and you can see why. The menu is extensive and includes a large range of hot and cold meals as well as the ubiquitous all day breakfasts, rolls etc. We just had a couple of bacon and egg rolls with mugs of tea and they hit the spot perfectly. Service was lovely and the prices are most reasonable.

The “Mega Breakfast” cost £6.70. The service was quick and very clean. The brew was lovely and right to my taste and was placed on my table super speedy. No faults, although not refillable. The breakfast arrived a short while after and was pleasing on the eye but there were a few things which I noticed. Sausage - a single in a “Mega Breakfast” is a bit disappointing and had been pre-sliced prior to cooking. This did not take anything ways from the taste and my only complaint is not having two. Bacon - lovely. Cooked well, thick and enough of it! Egg. Only one, and looked like a McMuffin egg, but it was soft and very tasty - much nice than a McMuffin egg. Hash Browns - Two. Crispy and very nice and really helped this breakfast. Beans - more than enough. Mushrooms - I rarely say “too much”. But there was. Nice enough, but only so much mushroom I could eat on my own. Toast - yep, no complaints. Overall - 6/10. A decent enough price, but the name is disappointing. Nothing “mega” about the breakfast, but would be happy with that as a standard breakfast. Missing a few extras for the title “mega”. Would go back. Clean, easy and affordable. Breakfast Man.

This cafe is regular visit for us on a sunday. This is down to the great food and welcoming staff who go to great lengths to facilitate everyone. Offer really good service. Good vegetarian options on the menu and excellent lavazza coffee. Would highly recommend for great value and food and quality service

A proper cafe with a good solid menu of the sort of food you want to eat. The Mousaka was a delight! I had not been here before but it was recommended by a friend and I will certainly be going back

No pretension; it's just a lovely, cafe. Sure, we will all have visited "posher" cafes in our time, but this one provides you with a warm welcome to regulars and new visitors alike. The food on its traditional British menu, is delicious and served in quick time, with the kitchen in full view. The staff work hard and make an effort to talk to their customers. Yes, actually talk, which I recognise might not be to everyone's liking, but for some elderly folk in town, it might just be their cup of tea! The liver, bacon, mash, egg and onions are my guilty pleasure! Go, you'll enjoy it!

We just happened to be passing and my husband was a bit hungry so we went in and ordered. I have decaf coffee and yes they had it. We both had some breakfast and the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious, would certainly recommend it.

Not the best meal I’ve every had but not the worst. Large portion sizes, decor a little dates but prices reasonable.

A lovely traditional cafe where the service is attentive and the food is extremely good Well priced... not cheap but portions are good and the quality is very good All food obviously home cooked

Not "Cheap n Cheerful" just very good value as a Cafe. Staff are very good and the food is excellent for the cost.

Really nice place to eat, good food and you don't wait forever for it, good prices too. Like it here a lot.

Never been here before and what a pleasant surprise, went in with a friend and hand a cup of tea and bacon sandwich.It was excellent, fresh rad and really dry bacon.Upon leaving I saw numerous customers with a variety of dishes including a full English which all looked lovely

Whenever we visit Retford we usually call in here for dinner. You get a good meal at a reasonable price and there's plenty of choice. The staff are friendly and the manageress is especially chatty. This is not fine dining but your average cafe. It's clean and spacious serving your usual traditional meals. It really is worth a visit. I'm lead to believe it turns into a pizza place in the evening.

A really good cafe serving good food. This cafe is clean, the staff are friendly and the food is really good so what more can you ask for. My hubby had gammon chips peas and mushrooms and he was really impressed and he is not impressed very easily. I had steak pie, mash and veg and I had to leave half of the meat as there was far too much. The meals were very tasty and red hot. This is not a posh cafe and it doesn't look much from outside but it serves really good food at a reasonable price and served with a smile.

Hemos utilizado este café muchas veces antes, pero no volveremos después por desgracia hoy.

For a cafe it is brilliant lovely and clean the cooking area was spotless the staff friendly and quick service and the best part the food all freshly prepared and plenty of it big portions will definitely call there again

Aunque no viven lejos esta fue nuestra primera visita a Retford. Disfrutamos de un ambiente bastante disperso el centro de la ciudad, que era bastante ocupados con un mercado.

Good value, food is mostly basic, breakfasts, lunches, sandwiches, jacket spuds etc. Fast and efficient service and all cooked and prepared in sight of customers.

Been several times for breakfast. Always fantastic and they aren't stingy with the mushrooms. Staff are friendly, reluctant to go elsewhere now.

Visited today 15/12/16 for lunch. I had chicken curry with rice and chips and my wife had gammon egg and chips. Both meals were very good and tasty. Would certainly recommend. Service was very good and staff very pleasant. Has quite an extensive menu.

La ciudad Mejor Café llamado por más de una razón (tocino, huevos, salchichas y tomate). Un gran lugar con un personal amable y un buen desayuno. Una gran variedad de menús y platos cocinados con cuidado, que verá por lo limpio, la comida es preparada...

went to this cafe regularly i like all their meals . always freshly cooked and very tasty from breakfasts to lunch to afternoon meals and very friendly staff

Recent regulars for weekend all-day breakfasts. Great choice. Quick and very friendly service. Excellent quality food cooked well and excellent value.

The cafe is amazing and so is the staff. The food is great also. The prices are also reasonable. I only went here once while I was in Retford.

A wide selection of quick meals or just a coffee stop. Nothing fancy but very good value for money. Convenient to town centre and market.

This place is amazing value. £6 can buy anything on the menu, including a massive breakfast or a full Sunday Roast. The warm and friendly, if not very busy, staff welcomed our family and we were able to enjoy a leisurely breakfast here before crossing the road to the market and shops.An asset to the town.

I have now become a regular here, great food always served fast, clean café with friendly staff. Amazing value for money. Would never go to another café in Retford. Love it here.

Don't me put off by the rather bright exterior of the café. I have always walked past the café before but stepped in on Monday and was pleased with my cooked breakfast and the service which was friendly and efficient.

I visited with my son recently to get out of the rain on a recent visit to Retford. Pleased we did as the service was quick and friendly and the food was very reasonably priced. It is obviously a very popular little cafe as the tables were filled again as soon as somebody left.

Have had many a breakfast here with my husband.The food is always hotCooked really well, eggs just right weather fried or poached.Not a greasy spoonAnd sets us up for the day.Well worth a visit

Stopped here for a break on the way home from Yorkshire and nicely surprised not just with the cafe but the place itself. Busy market on the day - Friday.Cafe staff were exceptional and food was very good. If there were people waiting outside the waitress spoke too them and told them how long they might have to wait. It has a lovely friendly atmosphere and is obviously a popular cafe.

A small but busy cafe. The food is simple but good. Can be a short wait for food when busy as most is cooked to order. Staff friendly. Worth a visit.

Only went due to comments on trip advisor. Really wished I hadn't. Staff were welcoming and friendly but the downfall was the mug of tea. It was served as hot watery milk. I asked if I could have a stronger drink and was told with some amusement there was a teabag at the bottom. I had an egg and bacon roll. Bacon ok, egg over cooked.

Took a day out to Retford and fancied a breakfast. Popped in here and the breakfast was lovely, and the bubble was the best I've ever tasted!

Return visit to this great value for money cafe.Staff friendly ,good menu selection .This cafe is no frills but what you see is what you get - great food for busy shoppers with something for everyone.Very large portions presented nice on your plate.

Went in with a friend from school. Welcomed by the manager, and ordered food. I had a full breakfast, and did not disappoint. I used to use another cafe in Retford when I lived there, which has sadly gone. This more than makes up for it. Will definitely use it again when next in Retford.

A super little cafe with friendly staff and excellent quality and value food.Never been ever been disappointed at the best.

Cant really say too much, apart from wow. The breakfasts are fantastic. Definatley my number one choice for a full English. Food is excellent (a little expensive though). Usually very busy on a Saturday morning, but worth the wait.

I have lived in retford all my life and until today have never been in Town Best Cafe before because I didn't think it look very nice from the outside but boy was I wrong. They were friendly, polite and the service was really fast. It had a nice atmosphere and was nice just to sit in and relax. The food was lovely and the tea was one of the best I've had! Thanks :)

Good food, hearty breakfast, friendly staff, plenty of tables. certainly saved me making it all and doing the washing up xbusy little café, and proper mugs of tea!

always busy, does a takeaway service and a bacon butty from them is awesome! service v quick, always fresh bread...

We've been meaning to pop in this cafe for ages as it always seems busy. Called in today and what a surprise! I had lasagne n chips n my fella had pie chips beans n gravy. It was delicious! £12 including drinks and I was stuffed. Food was homemade and good quality. Couldn't fault it.The waitress was funny and gave my partner a run for his money (he was his usual pi** taking self) we will def return :))))

Been few times for lunch. Menu offers great choice of food. Food tastes great and its nice and fresh. Will be coming back

Have been here loads of times as a couple and with kiddies - great for all and fantastic value for all meals. The staff are very friendly too.

Called in for a drink and had jacket potatoe cheese and salad.the salad was crisp and fresh and the jacket potatoe was perfect.the cafe itself is clean and has a good menu choice.The coffee was very nice ,so had another after my meal.The staff are lovely and can't do enough for you.I will return and tell my friends to visit .The cafe also has a clean toilet.

We came off the A 1 on our way North and decided to find something to eat in Retford. We happened upon Town Best Cafe in the Market Place. We saw tempting meals on the menu and decided on bacon rolls and fish and chips. We will certainly stop there again and maybe try the home made soup, cottage pie, steak pie, chilli or chicken curry. All temptingly home made. There were home made deserts too. Friendly and efficient; a place that cares about its customers.

Excellent ambience with a great selection of food, wine and other commodities. The staff were superb. A really wonderful experience.

Cheap and cheerful, get decent food for really cheap and the service isn't bad at all really. Could use a new sign however.

we go almost every week when shopping, the cafe is basic but the food is always cooked well and is not expensive, the cappucino coffee is one of the best in town
