The best restaurants serving British food in East Retford West Bassetlaw East Midlands

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 😀

First visit and it was great. Had the grandchildren and they loved the play area. Staff were very relaxed with small people bobbing around. The breakfast was very good and additional coffees ordered arrived promptly. Well done.

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.

Take out fish and chips had changed hands and service not as good as before also food was cold when got home and poor quality may be using old fat for frying will not go again

We visited here on Tuesday after it had been recommended by some locals. We weren't disappointed. I had steak, which was succulent and cooked to perfection. My mum had the honey glazed salmon, it wasn't a huge piece but she enjoyed every mouthful and the...

Being fully gluten free in here, there was nothing on the menu I couldn't eat. The pizza, garlic bread, panini and cooked breakfast we had were all really tasty. And the cheesecake for pudding was too die for! We will definitely be back here again, a really lovely atmosphere with friendly staff.

Just been to open mic night lovely amphser staff lovely and quick service it was busy

Disappointing toast! Had eggs and mushrooms on toast - Scrambled eggs and mushrooms were lovely, however very thin bread, very lightly toasted so limp toast!

Really lovely little cafe. The menu was very varied with plenty for the veggies and meat eaters among us. The service was great, the waitress was very chatty and spoilt our pup with a sausage. Food was delicious and all for a reasonable price. The canal side location is lovely too.

The Salad bar is an absolute favourite for your household. The service is always lovely and fast, the food is always delicious, the caramelized onion sausage rolls are absolutely awesome. The drivers are always happy and will go above and beyond to accommodate, an absolute pleasure to deal with.

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.
