The best restaurants serving British food in Sutton Bassetlaw East Midlands

Absolutely one of the best home cooked style Sunday lunch I've had in many many years. We all had something different. The pork was top Draw. And i need to go back to have the pie.

Fantastic pies! The Staff are very attentive, and such a great atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit! We'll be back.

We had such a lovely meal last night at the blue bell.. the staff are always so friendly and very polite. We were visiting my auntie who lives in Ranskill. And went for dinner. All our meals were fantastic, my husband and I had the surf and turf steaks. June has the salmon! Always delicious and such a great portion. Good selection of wine too. Far too full to have a dessert. We will definitely be back..

New 7 course tasting menu now available at at Restaurant 1650, part of the charming Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa in Retford. This 4 star hotel and it’s award winning restaurant, provides a smart and luxurious ambience for a memorable dining occasion. Perfect for a date night or special occasion amongst family & friends. It is just £65pp for this delicious, beautifully presented, fine-dining 7 course meal, or £100 with included wine pairings. Available every Thursday & Friday from 6:30pm – Booking is essential. The menu is set to change seasonally, however the menu that we tried is detailed below; *Canapes – Seared Foie Gras on toasted brioche with caramelised peach, Oyster with Guinness braised ox cheek & horseradish snow, Beef carpaccio with pickled strawberry * Beetroot & gin cured salmon gravlax,with textures of cucumber * Braised pork belly & cheek, textures of carrot, ginger & coriander * Champagne & elderflower sorbet * Roast duck breast confit leg croquettes, braised sweetheart cabbage and cherries * Trio of apple – Apple crumble tart, apple shot, apple & calvados crème brulee * Coffee/Tea & truffles Treating yourself to a dining experience like this will get you trying different tastes and textures that should introduce you to quality and locally-sourced ingredients. We thoroughly enjoyed the food here, trying oysters for the first time – we didn’t dislike them, but not sure they’re one of our favourite foods haha (no fault of the restaurant of course)! We also really liked the pork, duck and of course the desserts, especially the apple crumble tart. We have a lovely evening, meeting some other fellow food lovers, and would hope to return to this beautiful hotel to experience much more of what it has to offer. My only gripe was paying £12 for a large wine and £6 for a bottle of water.
