The best restaurants serving British food in Everton Bassetlaw East Midlands

After seeing the quality of the food in the photos and hearing it is a popular place, I decided to book in on bonfire night. There were me, my wife and 2 children. For starter me and my eldest ordered the scotch egg. I've never ordered a scotch egg before so didn't really know what to expect, but a dry egg and over cooked outer coating crunchier than a pork scratching wasn't what I expected for just short of a 10a each! The wife ordered camembert cheese with chilly dip and bread/toast. I'll be honest, it was quite pleasant to eat when you found the chilly dip amongst the cheese but other than that I suppose it's an acquired taste, like marmite, you either love it or hate it. The bread/toast though was that dry and hard, I'm sure Cemex would have been happy to supply it to persimmon builders as footings. The youngest ordered cheese garlic bread, he's 4, they forgot it! If any of you have children around this age you would know that, when everyone is eating and they're not, they produce words/noises that haven't been heard since Mr blobby was on the tele. After prompting, they finally brought the cheese garlic bread, it was one piece of sliced bread with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese which hadn't even been melted, and cost around £4. We're talking professional chefs that can't melt cheese. We sat for half an hour to be asked what we we were waiting for, obviously we were waiting for our mains. It felt like we were being pushed out. So the mains. I had chicken and chorizo gnocchi. chicken thigh, on top of gnocchi in a sauce, with chorizo pieces. chicken thigh was brilliant, nice and juicy, crispy skin, nice! The rest of it was so, so salty it would have been more enjoyable to drink from the Atlantic. It got left... My eldest had bacon steak, he left that as it had more fat than Gemma collins. The wife had a chicken burger, I mean, you can't mess it up, can you? Well...the bread bun, which hadn't been toasted by the way, was that dry and crumbly it could have been mistaken for your grandparents slipper. I folded it in half and it broke and turned to crumbs! The burger itself tasted off, and probably worse than the slipper...it got left also. The youngest had mac and cheese, there would have been more taste in that fore mentioned slipper. Bad, bad experience!! Maybe the fireworks were to blame, and they were too busy, but if that was the case, I personally would have shut this side of the restaurant for the night. The bill came to £130. So make of that what you will for that type of food, and messed up the complete order from start to finish. They knocked of £60 as an acceptance of the poor experience we'd had. So still cost £80 for meals that never got eaten. Honestly, I like to give the benefit of the doubt, but this took the biscuit, so won't be getting another visit.

Lovely food, really for staff and a lovely atmosphere . Thank you for a lovely evening

This venue is set on the corner of an A road that you would pass by if you didn't live in the village. DON'T pass by, you are missing a rare treat if you do Not your average pub food. This pub food is cooked to perfection with nothing too much trouble. Waiting staff on our visit were attentive (but not too much), knew what beers were on the pump without having to go back to look . Food was well above your average and plenty of it, we couldn't finish it. Go and try it you will be pleased.

Went for Sunday carvery, really not what we expected. It’s not your usual carvery as you choose the meat and the server puts the rest of the food on your plate. The veg is on a table to the side but it’s mostly stood in hot water keeping warm, but making it tasteless and you cannot help yourself as it’s put on a plate while you stand there. There are different size plates to choose from but £12.50 for what you got seemed a bit much. The whole place is in need of a refurb and the loud music being played throughout made us decide we’d try elsewhere in future.

The Mucky Duck is very local to us, however, this is our first visit in several years, since the change of management/ownership and the renovations. Absolutely delighted with everything. Upon arrival, greeted by a lady (very tall blonde, sorry, I'm rubbish with names) and offered drinks in the bar. She was lovely, really chatty, impeccably presented and gave us all a warm welcome. The manager then brought menus over (again, lovely lady) and we were shortly shown to our table is the beautiful dining/main restaurant. All very relaxed, no rushing to get us through. Food arrived in perfect time, I had the Lamb which was literally perfection, others in the group had the fish and chips and the Bacon steak. All the food was hot, delicious, plentiful and beautifully presented. Three meals, couple of drinks each (I'm teetotal so went with the Moriarty's non-alcholic, some wine and cokes) all came in at under £75 which, given the setting, the beautiful views over the Idle Valley with the sun setting, the quality and quantity of food, together with the service, was very reasonable in my opinion. It's just a very pleasant, relaxed place to enjoy an evening meal. Will definitely become a regular place for us to have dinner in future.

Had a great Sunday lunch. The guinness was a great pint. All the staff are so friendly 5*
