The best restaurants in East Retford West Bassetlaw East Midlands

well what a fab time food to die for staff couldn’t do enough for us we had xmas fayre absolutely fab loads of veg nothing to much trouble thank you highly recommend if you havnt been go you won’t be disappointed

Friendly and welcoming staff from the outset. There were 7 of us in total and we all chose our own toppings for our handmade bars. There were also lots of chocolatey nibbles to eat as we crafted. We learnt how to make filled chocolates with decorative transfers and rolled truffles too! Everything was explained and demonstrated clearly and we enjoyed delicious hot drinks too. I would highly recommend this experience.

Allthough no longer trading from premises but from a stall on Retford market. Jeanilious still serves a tasty combination of pies, cakes etc. A must for those of you with a sweet tooth. Well worth a visit.

Our wedding cake not only looked great but was absolutely delicious! Thank you Maria from Richard and Charles x x

Roast potatoes were very disappointing, some were fresh and some were old so a couple crispy but most were warmed back up so rock hard skin and soft brown potato inside. The meal deal comes with a soft drink not a beer & you can't pay extra to swap either. I personally don't think it's value for money @ £15 for the average meal. I've tried it twice now but won't rush back.

I think the leaky teacup is a amazing cafe excellent food great staff friendly and chatty

Nice, friendly pub. Friendly staff and a nice place to stop by the canal. Good selection of drinks and reasonably priced

Lovely dinner and service as always great place x

Hi everyone most of you will probs know me but worked at the hideaway for a few months now and couldn’t say how much I love it as a job great venue and great customer love ever bit of my job and it’s a great environment to be in and also the manger is great and thanks to everyone that comes in 😀

According to the posts that I read before visiting this this establishment that 99 percent of the reviews gave this place a good score on the food and service. I visited this place yesterday evening 20/10/24 we pre ordered 24 hours in advance as we were told it would cut down the waiting times for the food to be served. So I ordered the garlic mushrooms in a cream sauce, granted it was served fairly quickly but was only just warm and 50% of what was on my plate was half a bread bun that was soggy from the sauce and in my opinion it didn't have much of a taste of garlic very disappointed as was my brother in law who ordered the same thing. For the main meal I ordered the mushroom and truffle risotto with a serving chicken another disappointment yes it arrived relatively hot on a plate but in my opinion was over cooked and served incorrectly and again I failed to taste the truffle big big disappointment very much doubt I'll be paying them another visit anytime soon

Lovely place for a quick lunch and

Brill chippy kebabs Rock! And the selection of buns are lush

Booked for a Saturday evening meal. We have been to the Sun Inn at Everton several times, but not the Retford one. We weren't sure what to expect being in a town, as opposed to a village. The only thing that disappointed us was that we'd never been to the Retford one before! Both Sun Inns are excellent- fabulous, tasty food, well presented. Tastefully decorated restaurant, with well designed outside area too. Welcoming, efficient and professional staff. Great value too. Will definitely be returning to both the Retford and Everton restaurants.

Had an excellent meal and good value. We couldn’t manage a pudding but staff were happy to put it a take awsy box to bring home.Didn't have to wait long for food. We'll see you again.
