The best restaurants in East Retford West Bassetlaw East Midlands

Good Fresh Food, Friendly Service, Good Value

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

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.

Used this takeaway many times when visiting Retford, always pleased with the food on offer . Good selection of takeaway food pizza, burgers, chicken and more.

Booked to stay on fri 8th for two nights. The manager asked me to pay in cash, which I did. He then sent me a confirmation of my booking. Before I booked I asked that I had the option to cancel, as I wasn’t 100 percent sure I’d need the room. He assured me that cancellation would be fine, as long as it was 48hrs before booking in. I then decided to cancel the next day, which was on Tuesday, as I no longer needed the room. I was told a refund was not possible. I then forwarded my email confirmation, which has in bold writing the right for me to cancel and full refund made possible. I then embarked on a full night of back and forward excuses why a refund wasn’t possible. Even receiving a mistaken txt, sent to me, instead of his manager. Stating there was no policy in place but he suggested 70% refund (how convenient) 🤣 Eventually I got 70% of the cash back paid into my account. Again, I requested the full refund as per my entitlement. And I just received more silly excuses and nonsense. Such as the manager was a good person and a lawyer by trade. Avoid this hotel at all costs. Ran by cowboys.

Lovely meal deal on a tray & pancake roll, real nice.Delivered with a smile.

Staff provided me with takeaway cups when they asked if i was sitting in and said yes and didn’t put the correct sauce inside of my cup due to this, selfish people sat in the comfiest seats with NO DRINK!!! 🤯 Staff are just incompetent and prices as always are extortionate. Not worth the prices as they do not provide you what is said on the menu

Sadly will this has to be the worst takeaway meal I have ever almost eaten. We ordered pad thai which was essentially singapore noodles floating in a sweet sauce, the ginger and garlic prawns you could not detect any garlic or ginger. The other dishes where much the same no taste or flavour. Telephoned immediately and was told no one else complains and they are sorry we didn't like it! Obviously will not be going back!

What a find! Lovely atmosphere, staff friendly and helpful. Food amazing. Highly recommend dining here. I had slow cooked bladevof beef, it was delicious, beef just melted in your mouth. Husband had tuna steak off of specials board, that was delicious as well. They serve local and fresh food. The food is reasonably priced. We dined on a Sunday, there was also roast dinner along with a good select of other dishes

I recently visited KFC Retford, and it was a highly disappointing experience. In the middle of winter, the air conditioning was blasting cold air in the customer area, making it incredibly uncomfortable to sit and eat. When I asked about it, the staff explained it was because the heat from cooking made the back kitchen hot and steamy. This reasoning felt inconsiderate toward customers trying to enjoy their meal. The food was equally disappointing. The chicken had an unpleasant smell, looked greyish, and was inedible. The chips were far too salty, with the seasoning seemingly applied by guesswork rather than proper measurement. The only redeeming part of the meal was the crispy strips, which were edible, but they couldn't salvage the overall experience. For £16.99, I expected much better quality and a more comfortable dining environment. This has to be the worst KFC I’ve ever visited, and I won’t be returning. Save your money and go elsewhere.
