Cafe in Retford

“Great staff, good selection of drinks all reasonably priced. Well recommend this pub if you're in the vicinity.”

“We have visited a few times for drinks but today was the first time we dined. The Sunday lunch was wonderful - better than anything else we've had in the area. Great staff lead by a fabulous host and the pub itself is lovely and in a good location. No hesitation in recommending this place”

“I booked the spa and overnight stay for our 20th wedding anniversary. The spa was wonderful so relaxing and the staff were amazing even preparing us a surprise dessert after our wonderful lunch. The hotel is a beautiful place, our room was perfect. A lot of work has gone into this place to achieve its grandeur. We spent a lovely evening in the bar/restaurant and the food didn’t disappoint and the service was excellent. Thank you all at ye olde bell and spa for helping make our 20 anniversary one to remember.”

“Wow! Not enough stars to rate this restaurant. To say they blew us away with customer service is an understatement. 3 of us booked in for breakfast & we mentioned it was a pre wedding breakfast for the Groom, Grooms father & Best man. We arrived to find the table set up specially for us with a boxed flower arrangement & card written to the groom from all the staff. It was a tear jerker. Irrespective of the fact only 3 of us had booked to attend, the management had taken the decision to go the extra mile knowing we couldn’t possibly eat or drink enough to pay for the flowers or maybe they’d just break even. We talked about how amazingly kind they’d been all day. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. I nearly forgot to tell you just how great the food was too! The best breakfast I’ve had for a few years also. They have freshly squeezed orange juice which was a treat you don’t often find. Super sausages & black pudding! The groom is vegan & Rondo caters as part of their standard offer a full vegan menu choice. Quite genuinely, it’s brilliant with awesome staff! Thank you all.”

“Good Sunday lunch, tasty, well seasoned and fresh vegetables. Good price too. Would definitely recommend and eat here again.”

“Thanks so much for the fab meal for my sister's hen do! We were a big group of 22 so not easy but we all got our food, which was very tasty. Charlotte was brilliant from organising the booking beforehand, sorting out the billing and handling 22 tipsy women! All the serving staff were also friendly and helpful!”

“Came across this place by chance what a find! Sat outside next to canal and the weather was fab, service great. Food was fantastic and reasonable, the staff were super friendly and attentive. We will definitely be returning and can thoroughly recommend”

“Great service and an amazing choice of food.. cocktails were great. The food was presented so well and was so tastey. Just a shame we couldn’t finish it as we were so full!”

“This place is just lovely and the breakfast muffin is to die for , all top quality produce and cooked beautifully. On top of this the customer service is brilliant, the young waiter ( kieran)who served us today is a real asset to this establishment and at such a young age could certainly teach many other in his industry what a good job looks like :)”

“Excellent Real Ale. Outside seating.”

“The food is absolutely incredible!!! Such a wonderful and friendly spot for a meal and drink! The prawns are insanely good. Love this place :)”

“Probably the best restaurant I've been to ever. I have been around 8 times now. Always great food, great hospitality, great atmosphere. The food and drinks are expensive, however, that's what you get at a really nice restaurant and it's worth every penny!! I have never left disappointed. Thanks Dantes and Ziniz!”

“Called for a light lunch this week as haven't been in for a while. Staff were polite friendly and organised. The food was lovely and presented beautifully. The cakes and scones were fabulous. Would definitely recommend and will be reliving the lovely experience soon. Thank you and well done......”

“I absolutely adore this place ! I’ve just started fishing again after 40 years and it’s ace ! Facilities have been upgraded the site looks smart . I live an hour away but when I have any time off this is my go to place for fishing , don’t need all the gear , just a rod or pole bit of bait and you catch all day long and the scenery is lovely . Well worth a visit ! Thanks”

“Fantastic find , eaten here a few times , by far best coffee and cake around . Had the breakfast today and it was really nice , tasty and plentiful . Definitely return .”

“I came in this afternoon and was greeted by the lovely ladies working. I ordered a vanilla latte and a jacket potato. The latte was one of the best coffees I have had in a long time, and the jacket potato was done perfectly, on top of this the service was so quick! The café was nice and clean and it has really nice outdoor seating which looks out on to the market square. I will definitely be returning, and I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to sit down to have a nice coffee or some lunch!!”

“My always favourite place for quick drive-through order. Amazing staff, always smiling, always cheerful. 6*”

“I visited costa today to buy a coffee for my train. There was a long queue but I was served in time to board my train. I was hugely impressed by the calmness and efficiency of the single barista working there (I think she was called Natasha). She served everyone with a smile on her face and seemed completely unaffected by the busyness and the time pressure! She also recommended the lunch deal as a way to save money. Thanks so much!”

“A lovely friendly local pub. Have visited a number of times. Always a warm welcome, good priced drinks and a relaxed atmosphere”

“Great location, in the winter it has raring fires, in the summer. Amazing outside space along the canal. Fabulous Sunday lunches, and if you want a cocktail - order any of them - they are all fantastic!”

“Always the go to place for me, been using it for over 9 years. Always go to collect and there's never been a problem with waiting for it. Excellent food and service. Wouldn't suggest anywhere else TBH.”

“Really cute place we visited while travelling. Ordered caramel vanilla frappes and they really lathered the caramel on there--down the sides on the top with whipped cream. Really happy!”

“Excellent, hidden gem. Good service, pleasant environment, very tasty food. Linen tablecloths and napkins and individual white proper handtowels. What a pleasure. Probably one of the best quiches I've ever had. Couple of suggestions; a little more variety in the salad and parasols for outside seating area.”
