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.

Fantastic. Thank you! We will definitely return ☺️

First time visiting for lunch on Thursday with a friend. Very pretty little cafe. Very lovely and friendly staff. Food was Devine. And the cakes ……💕💕 Can’t wait to revisit.

From being greeted at the door to saying goodnight our experience was amazing. The food & service was first class. 5 Star.

Food is nice, but literally 50% of the time we get home and parts of our order are missing. Sauces, pease etc… frustrating having to go back each time as we’ve paid for them and the rest of the food gets cold. Fair enough once but to happen literally half the amount of times we’ve been now is excessive.

Does what it says on the tin with service and good food

Family run business in heart of town easy parking, food was amazing keema curry and korma , was amazing food & very traditional, if in Retford again will definitely visit ,real hidden gem , and great value for money .

A little hidden gem on the outskirts of Retford town. First time here, but it definitely won't be our last! Family run business with very friendly service. Reasonable prices, lots of offers too. The food was fresh, hot, and tasty 😋 I'm not surprised they have so many awards. Definitely not one to miss! We had chicken bhuna, chicken tikka masala, onion bhaji, garlic naan, garlic cheese naan, mushroom rice, and pickle tray. Help keep a local family run business open by ordering through their website or app, Justeat take 25% when you order through them 😞

Awful. Went for valentine's day. Slow order taking, Luke warm starter and bland mains. Chicken jalfrezi bland with loads of flavourless onion and no taste. Chicken pathia taste of Italy and tomato ketchup. Very disappointed. Staff very unorganized. Won't be returning.

Amazing atmosphere, attentive bar staff, good company!

Lovely peaceful atmosphere. Friendly staff. Comfortable and pleasant seating area. Loved the wall art. Food was delicious. Throughly recommend and will be returning.

I’ll try to keep this as simple as I can, apologies if it comes across rude as I hope this can be used for improvement. 3 young girls on the floor, drinks took a while to come and had to chase this. When food came they forgot the cutlery. Presentation nice though. At the end of food, I went to the bar to pay the bill and it took a few minutes to be seen to though it wasn’t full occupancy inside. I think the girls just seemed interested in their personal chats. The food itself was nice but to be honest a little overpriced, but it was a nice interior inside. The toilets are up a flight of stairs however the steps are quite slippery so when leaving there was a slip unfortunately. 3 star rating due to the main issues being service and the extra points made.

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.
