The best restaurants in East Retford East Bassetlaw East Midlands

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.

My friend bought me one of your rum babas not had one since m&s used to do them It was beautiful 3 of us are coming on 8th April We all met on heart ward in Bassetlaw After having our heart operations and a few tricky weeks we came out and remained friends ever since Looking forward to seeing you and your lovely little coffee shop

Quality ingredients cooked exceptionally well. Chef seems to be at the top of their sauce game too! They were very accommodating in tweaking dishes from the adult menu for the children, ensuring they didn't miss out on the selection. If we were local we'd be back again in no time.

An absolutely spotless cafe with huge warm welcome. Faultless service and great coffee. All staff are friendly and so obviously want customers to enjoy the cafe.

Service ladies were so lovely and good laugh. Atmosphere was really warm and cosy, like you are in a house in the country. Food knocked ma prosthetic leg off. Best garlic bread and espresso Martini I've ever had. Going to come back when back down this way.

Wonderful staff, always clean and fresh, menu has a wide variety, never had a bad meal yet 😋

Being from much further south and not having a clue about Retford we thought we’d give Amir’s a go. Friendly staff, very attentive. The food was really good. I had the Retford Korahi Jalfrezi with beef. In all honesty I was expecting the beef to be on the tough side but it was so soft, tender and tasty. My husband had the mixed Balti which was also tasty. Not very expensive compared to what we’re used to. Would definitely visit again.

Ordered takeout. Enjoyed the chicken curry and nan and was happy to find suitable and decent halal option. Was not keen on the daal and the dips for the poppadoms were missing which was slightly annoying.

this is an excellent restaurant. The food is great. The staff are polite and helpful. You want a good evening with excellent food fully recommend you book as it is very busy.

Brilliant local great atmosphere

Popped in today for a coffee and a bite too eat, enjoyed what we had staff were very polite and we were served very quickly. Would gladly go again to try something more.

Quality of food was good although overpriced for what you get. However what ruined it was the staff. Unfortunately all you could hear was the staff moaning and complaining about each other, followed by one of the chefs who kept coming downstairs to flirt with the girls behind the counter and mess about. Not very professional considering it’s a nice place. One of the girls poured the wrong wine and the drinks took far too long to arrive considering how many staff were behind the counter.

Not my first visit, excellent food, friendly service, would recommend for breakfast. Good central location and great staff.

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.
