The best restaurants in Bassetlaw East Midlands

Dropped in for a few drinks during charter day. Drinks kept flowing and pizza and loaded fries to die for! Special mention to Gracie-Mae for her lovely friendly service

Nice & welcoming traditional pub, hospitality & food 100% we had a lovely Sunday afternoon we will definitely be going back

Genuine country pubs like the Blacksmiths Arm in Everton are a rare thing these days. Great atmosphere, food, drink selection and front of house hospitality. Highly recommended.

Went for Sunday Dinner and got our drinks. Then had to wait 1 hour & 15 minuets for our food, 2 of them being the incorrect meats, the food was nice but not very hot. It was a real shame. The worst part was the service, it was absolutely terrible, miserable, very very rude and disinterested. It seemed that people who appeared to be regulars got looked after much much better than anybody else with fast service than anybody else. However, we were left with empty plates for approx 20 minuets once we had finished, then 10 minuets for a dessert menu. After we had finished we asked for the bill, eventually a server threw the receipt on our table and walked off without saying anything, which we all found incredibly rude and un-professional. Eventually after another lengthy wait we decided to get up and go to them in order to pay as it seemed they had forgotten about us completely. However, others got there bill and the card machine immediately after. Very very poor & will not be returning, will also let everybody know to give it a miss.

super friendly staff and excellent food

Fast easy and top quality food served hot and tasty.

One of the nicer Spoons we've been to. Second visit, brilliant service and the food was as expected

Plant prices not shown correctly and when spoke to staff about it not interested

Is now an hotel with a Party venue And you can go in for a pint and wine. You can have a meal in the cells ..

delicious as ever & absolutely love this place 😋

Absolutely stunning food, we loved it so much. Nice to have a couple of different sides to try as a vegetarian. My husband loved the rack of lamb. Best dish was the halomi pakoras with the saracha sauce. Lovely country pub and we cannot wait to come again and maybe bring some friends with us. We travelled from Nottingham to try this place and were not disappointed. Thank you

Dear TripAdvisor. You and the wider internet have well and truly lied to us. The Ship Inn of Retford is basically an absolute hole, disguised as a half decent establishment. The lass behind the bar was proper canny, but she was up against it when it became apparent that there was absolutely no-one in the building capable of heating up a chilli cheese dog. Problematically, though, instead of telling us that they couldn't quite manage to serve up said dish, they readily took our money and left us sitting for over an hour, with an oft-promised 'two-minutes on your food'. Coq au Vin to that we said, after 75 minutes of my stomach thinking my throat had been cut. The final straw was the pub football team(s) who gradually took over the place, who were canny to begin with but then the chief mischief maker entered stage rear, soon to be visited by his actual dealer, and with all the excitement of a new pencil case on the first day of term, took to smoking himself a nice blunt. Now there's a time and a place for this activity, and 1pm on a Sunday lunchtime in a pub next to little kids is not a single one of those. So we left. With a difficult-to-get refund, and still with the stomach and throat thing in full swing. What an absolute chuff on. Only getting one star because you won't let me give precisely none. Do your stomach and your nose a favour, give it a nice wide berth.

we both ordered cod with meal, we got one cod one haddock. my better half did not want to moan, because they were busy. not good value for what we got. my fish was five inches long , not many chips. we know prices have gone up due to cost. i did measure fish because we had tape due to just buying some furniture.

5 lovely tasty food, we had a vegetarian meal and bangers and mash. So tasty freshly made, lovely and hot, the surroundings were calm nice music didn’t have to wait long.

Just excellent! This restaurant has been fabulous on every level. They have gone over and above to provide an amazing service. The food is our new favourite Indian and I write my review with zero hesitation on recommending this place. 👌
