The best restaurants in East Retford East Bassetlaw East Midlands

What a great little cafe,great friendly staff. Amazing cakes ! We visited twice and had coffee/tea with croissants,they were extremely tasty.

Had brilliant birthday meal at Smoke & Ice Retford. Delicious food great atmosphere staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly if they tried. All the staff were great at helping my mum who is a wheelchair user and took time explain menu and sauces ect. Thanks again for the happy birthday song all 10 of us really enjoyed it and would definitely be back. 🥳🥳🥳🥳

The best place for brunch. Lovely people who work there and they make such great coffee. 100% recommend this place for great food and a peaceful setting.

The staff were very friendly, if not trying too hard to please. Our order was muddled up and things forgotten. The food looked very pleasing but was un seasoned.

For the first time ever tonight I was Very disappointed with my Haddock, the fish was grey and didn’t taste right the batter was hard . After many many years of using Pappas I shan’t be back .

Small family run business best Indian in Retford 100% recommended

Fabulous meal for our Anniversary. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. We would highly recommend No.5. Atmosphere is perfect for couples and equally larger groups. Thank you

My Wife and I are regular customers of this fantastic establishment, it’s that good, we travel 17miles round trip just to eat there, it’s always, clean, comfortable, the staff are friendly, efficient and nothing is too much trouble, a special mention for Ruby, no matter how busy she is or how unwell she feels she always greets you with a smile and asks how you are, professional and a credit to her employer, thank you all for always being the best in Retford 😉

First visit with a group of 22 on a week day evening. Firstly the welcome was very warm and the staff very helpful. I’m gluten free and had no problem ordering with lots of choices. Can particularly recommend the onion bahjis which were delicious and very fresh. The service was very organised for such a large group and all the meals came out at the same time. Top up drinks orders were also checked regularly. I can recommend this independently run family business. Will definitely be returning

Consistently high quality food, made and served by friendly staff. Varied range of dishes that never disappoint. Best in Retford.

Amazing atmosphere, attentive bar staff, good company!

We had ham salads that were well presented & very tasty. Nicely served by pleasant staff & clean table & cutlery. Very comfortable restaurant. We were able to park outside the door using mobility blue badge. Very handy & free of charge. That makes a refreshing change!! Toilets spacious & well looked after. Highly recommended.

If you like somewhere that has things that are just a little different on it's menu, this is the place for you. A warm welcome awaits, take your time and explore the menu and don't forget to watch for the specials. Olivia & Gabby are worth the 'entrance money' alone, they will welcome each and everyone one of you like long lost relatives with a friendly word and a smile. A great way to start the day. Check out the French toast varieties, try the American stack or enjoy the full English breakfast, there's something for everyone.

Always a welcome Roasted pepper and tomato soup was delicious. Lovely coffee and people good value.

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.
