The best restaurants serving British food in Bassetlaw East Midlands

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...

Wife had Vegan breakfast and oat milk latte and I had Mega breakfast with black coffee, both excellent, everything spotless with tables quickly cleared and little delay waiting and very well run by the very hard working guy at front and young girl on coffee machine!

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.

Lovely food and a great warm cosy atmosphere

Great evening listening to the ukulele band at the pub. They have Open Mike nights so it's a different group or vocalist . Worth a visit

Best cheese omelette I've ever had!! Lovely family runs it, and it's always a great experience!! Highly recommended!! 😁

Although the food is good the place wants a good clean,the ceiling needs repairing and an overall good lock of paint.Some of the staff are very good but we hadn't even finished looking at the menu when one member of staff ask what we wanted to order!!!

Absolutely stunning location amazing beers . Warm welcome was very kind to open up and serve me thank-you both gents lovely

Food improved steaks are good for general pub grub, staff helpful, has a side that has many locals so good atmosphere.

This is a very special place, but I’d hate to think that it became even more popular or bookings would probably be a tad too hard to arrange! My wife, Helen, and I, together with our niece, Anna, have just enjoyed a wonderful lunch at The White Hart Inn to celebrate a memorable family occasion. Our first choice of hostelry, about 10 miles away, had no convenient “slots”, so this West Stockwith eatery was next in line. How lucky we were that one venue’s “sorry, we’re full” status made way for this out-of-the-way gem beside the rivers Idle and Trent just a stone’s throw from the A161 at Misterton. I’m told by locals that hostess Katie - I do hope that’s not a sexist term - excels at what she does and, on this showing, their praise is more than justified. Helen and I, whose golden wedding is on November 23rd, have been vegetarian for almost 30 years and find the choice of menu at most restaurants to be disappointing. We need not have worried today. At least four items appealed to us both and our eventual selection, ordered after a sip or two of Guinness and Sauvignon Blanc, turned out to be perfection personified. Having told Katie of my penchant for battered onion rings, I was astonished when my main course of veggie-sausages, mash, gravy and green vegetables was accompanied by the largest helping of BORs that I’ve ever encountered. Indeed, there were so many that I (almost) gave half to Helen - who had chosen a butternut squash and almond pie - and Anna, whose carnivorous preference embraced ale-soaked steak, chips and mushy peas. Delicious their selections all were, apparently. For desserts - just or otherwise - Katie and her colleagues in the kitchen had evidently misjudged the size of serving spoon. The portions of cheesecake and lemon sponge, complete with a choice of home-made ice cream, custard et al, were of such a gargantuan nature that I felt the sudden urge to consult Specsavers. Thank goodness for the invention of high-strength, cholesterol-lowering statins… And, with tongue firmly in cheek, I note the extremely low cost of living nowadays and the imminent doubling of pensioners’ winter fuel payments. Ouch! The bill for all this excess, including alcohol and coffee, was a shade over £80 for the three of us, probably almost half what Helen’s late father, Harry, paid for a certain wedding breakfast in 1974. Adjusted for inflation, The White Hart’s prices offer superb value for money. And, with Katie and friends at the helm, this particular establishment proved to be no mere runner-up when the first choice venue had “no room at the inn”. I’d recommend this riverside restaurant to everyone. But, in the interests of selfishness, I do hope my views are ignored by the vast majority of potential diners!

Return visit since Covid and well worth the visit. Wide selection of food to restaurant standard . Greeting and service first class. Owner chef very visible throughout meal.Food presentation good

Best Sunday dinner we've had,the meat was so tasty and melted in your mouth, staff were all very nice and served us well,really nice atmosphere, we will definitely go back

Great environment, great staff! Rich and Jason were great hosts making sure we were well looked after. I’m sure we’ll be back!

Very disappointed! Shuffled into the back room with two families with dog and small kids- not at all relaxing as it was cramped. I asked for extra veg to go with my salmon as I don’t like cabbage- was told there wasn’t anything! The man was abrupt and surly and the service was extremely slow. Not what we had hoped for sadly. Next time will ask for a table in the front which was less crowded and nearly empty . If there is a next time…..

Unfortunately it has to be a whopping 0/10. This is not for the food or the decor, but from a manager who has no customer service experience, what so ever and very patronising!!! It was my friends birthday and had been book for some time. On the website it clearly says 12.00. So as most of us have come from worksop, they had booked a taxi for that time. Bearing in mind this is a Saturday evening. Had food , bought bottles of wine and double vodkas, enjoying our night. At just minute before 10.30, was told the pub was closing!!! Which we were all shocked about as we were told we had to leave the building. Asked if we could stay as it was cold ,raining and very windy." No" you've got to leave, "if it was worth our while staying open , then we would, but it's not!!!" Are we not worth you staying just till our new taxi come. Obviously not. " You can get another drink ". Frantically I tried to get a taxi, but its Saturday and they are all busy, but managed to get one for 11.30. We then asked if we could get another drink, which we was then told" No!! I called it 10 minutes ago" " But we were trying to organise a taxi"....." " No"!!! " You need to leave and wait on the front". She had forgotten that we hadn't payed for our meal. So we told her can't we please stay, just till our taxi come. The time was 11pm ,taxi coming at 11.30. No, was the reply!!! I actually only live on Mansfield rd, so I left at 11.05. Were the rest of the group payed for their meals. Would it really not hurt to stay open till the taxi arrived( another 25 minutes). Was our customer really not worth anything, and was it not worth staying open another 25 minutes , so that 3x women were not stranded in the cold, obviously not. Ohhh and apparently all Worksop pubs close at this time, I really think not!!! So if you are thinking of going for a special night out, want to spend money on food and lots of drinks, look at the website to arrange for your taxi home. My answer to you is don't bother. The manage was very rude, unhelpful, will throw you out at the drop of hat, and simply not give a dam whether you have a lift ir not, whether it's cold ,raining and winding. Because your money and custom is not worth staying open for!!!!( by the way, she had to clean up, cash up ,there was a lad cleaning glasses, but we could not stay until our lift had arrived . Congratulations for caring , considerate customer service. You went above and beyond to LOSE custom which obviously you dont have because it's not worth paying anyone to stay open abit longer. I wonder why!!!!!! As my local, I won't be going in again, only been in twice and had a bad experience that time as well. But was willing to let that go. But this was disgusting. It might have the look and decor of a beautiful pub, but it's the staff that makes it one to come back to .....and that's what let's it down.
