The best restaurants serving British food in Bassetlaw East Midlands

looks can be deceiving We popped in for an impromptu lunch whilst travelling north. Whilst the decoration may need updating, it is extremely clean (excellent) 6 of us really challenged the menu (which was huge, probably too big) everything was fresh, hot and very very good. Anyone thinking of heading in for food, head in....very good and great value for money)

This was our first visit to The Haxey Gate Inn having driven past it on a few occasions and seen a few cars parked outside and read some of the reviews and had a look at their website which could do with the prices updating, we booked a table in advance and were shown to it promptly on our arrival. Although the initial service was good the rest of the evening turned out to be no more than average with waits for our food order to be taken and then served and the food itself proving to be no better than average. It maybe a while before we choose to return.

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.

Food 3/10 Place 2/10 Prices 3/10 Food cold, place is scruffy, prices expensive, 1st time we have been and the last time we will be coming, don't know how you get all the 5 stars from, the chef used his bare hands to put food on my plate, NO GLOVES 🤭😷🤮

Went for the first time, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was absolutely fantastic. Certainly be going again.

We had ham salads that were well presented & very tasty. Nicely served by pleasant staff & clean table & cutlery. Very comfortable restaurant. We were able to park outside the door using mobility blue badge. Very handy & free of charge. That makes a refreshing change!! Toilets spacious & well looked after. Highly recommended.

We recently had our wedding at this venue. I can honestly say we could not fault a thing. Elizabeth and Beth was extremely accommodating of our requests and made sure the day run extremely smoothly. The food was beautiful and wedding guests dietary requirements was all met. The venue and grounds are fabulous. A large group of family and friends joined us the next day for Sunday dinner to continue to celebrations, staff accommodated our large group and the food was lovely once again.

Came here with the family and enjoyed a full English. The food was cooked to perfection and the waiting staff very friendly. Top marks all round guys, thanks very much!

We're very local, and have known The Crown in various guises over the years. Helen has only recently taken over here but has continued the good work. It's a bit off the beaten track - but only 3 miles or so from the A1; nice...

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

Been for a coffee with a friend coffee was bitter food looked like it had been left for hours, jacket was so dry and stale, bread has mould on it and not much salad and was wilted and slimy staff were rude and more bothered about chatting and doin there own thing when we complained they shrugged and carried on and didnt care i will never go there again

We visited The Crusty Cob at lunchtime and were delighted with everything. The welcome was very friendly. The sandwiches were superb. The service could not have been better. All-in-all a very pleasant experience and highly recommended.

Down to earth, honest to goodness. No frills, friendly staff. I will certainly go there again. A friend has decided that it's her go-to place.

What an amazing pub that clearly has an amazing chef with excellent front of house staff. We went there on consecutive evenings as the food choice was so broad and so good we had to go again to have something different.

Just fabulous, first visit after a recommendation from a friend for a great breakfast to start the day . Opens early in morning .
