Normanton Inn - Bassetlaw

We stayed at the clumber park hotel and reserved to eat in the second night in the normanton inn. the reservatino was made for the wrong night that was the beginning of the problem. we wanted to eat and said we had to wait 20 minutes. we didn't come to the table for 40 minutes. it took time to order. When that came, it was delicious.

Had a wonderful dinner here last week. the food was super tasty and the staff was so beautiful.

Only a limited menu available .altho the website gave us to believe otherwise. unwisely , we chose the roast..pork loin. It was half an inch thick and nearly all fat and gristle. my friend saw others being served slices and surmised we had the end...of a joint. The carrots were not cooked properly. My side salad was not worth virtually £4.,no dressing and almost all lettuce and raw carrot and cucumber strips/ skin in the latter case.Everything except the roast potatoes quickly went cold..NOT a good experience at all tho the staff were helpful and the coffee expensive tho drinkable. We were asked if we had enjoyed our meal and after a few seconds reflection I listed the above issues. I was immediately told we would not be charged except for the drinks and side salad! To add to our woes a large motorised wheelchair/ buggy came straight for us when there was absolutely not room to get through..Good to admit wheelchairs but ....my friends arm is bruised.Some supervision surely is required? My husband used both a buggy and wheelchair and there was never a problem tho the lady concerned was attached to oxygen and had to remain in her machine. Ps we had ginger beer to drink and it was the smallest such drink I have ever been offerred..and tasted. nothing like Feentimans which I enjoy..it tasted medicated

Called here last night to use some vouchers that my wife had been given for a birthday present. Even though I 've lived in Worksop and passed this place many times, I 'd never been. We called on a Saturday night having already reserved a table. We...were a party of 5 and all had something different off the menu. The menu wasn 't the most extensive that I "be ever seen but it offered something for everyone. There was also a 'specials board 'up. The food when it arrived was excellent. We all had something different to eat and the food was hot, well presented and very tasty. The pub was quite busy as there was a large group of tourists in probably visiting Sherwood Forest) but the food didn 't take too long to arrive. I 'd say that the food was restaurant quality but it was restaurant prices. I believe that there is a restaurant and hotel in the same complex Clumber Park Hotel).

We were visiting Clumber Park with family and I suggested that we should have lunch here. I have been here before albeit several years ago and I thought I could recommend it. How very disappointing. The general decor is now somewhat shabby and tired. The...menu suggested quality food beyond the presentation of the premises. I award one star for the staff who did their best and were polite and courteous. We arrived towards the end of the busy period which meant that most diners were leaving when we ordered. That left three tables, despite that it took a good 45 minutes and several apologies before the food appeared. At one point we were told the chef was plating the food which would be with us quickly it took another four minutes! Good food needs to be accompanied by the appropriate service and ambiance, neither of which we experienced. The staff did respond by providing coffee free of charge and also giving a 20% discount. This was however a special day for us and I am sad to say it was an enormous let down. This not somewhere we will return to.
