The Angel Inn - Bassetlaw

After a fairly emotional call from my mum, she told me about a pretty amazing experience at the Angel inn. She has regularly eaten there with dad and since he passed away in June. On her visit last week she went for some lunch and as usual chatted pleasantries with the team working. She was shown to her table and decided to order a small Christmas dinner. The team asked if she would like a sweet and she declined as her appetite is limited. She suggested a coffee liquor which my mum jumped at (as it was Christmas).. As she was nearly finished the lady came back and asked how everything was? My mum replied “As ever, it was wonderful and thoroughly enjoyed the Coffee “. “Well I want to pass on an act of random kindness and pay for your lunch”. Mum was gobsmacked and asked why? The lady said she had received an ARK and as my mum always takes time to speak with the team every time, she wanted to pass it on to her. This has had an incredible impact on mum, myself and my brother especially since dad recently passed away. Mum is tearfully telling everyone about it. From all of us. A huge thank you. Your ARK was perfectly timed and has generated at least 3 people to pass on our ARK’s and perhaps some more who read this. All our love from Jacky, Richard and Roman Collins xx

Out last night with friends The staff were do nice and helpful it makes a change to be felt special Food was lovely. A few vegan options but not many. So hope they have a few more next time. The Xmas decorations made it look fab.l and cosy Thank you for a nice night.

Sonday 26th, at 6pm. A pre-booked table of 9. Out of the 9 of us. 4 didn't really like their meal. 3, said it was average. 2, enjoyed. Meal's quite staggered to come out. had puddings with one coming 3-4mins, after the others finished. So refused it. The Angel Inn, use to me a great place to dine. People in the area, keep rating the Angel. 3 weeks myself, partner and in-laws visited. We all thought the food and service were average. But saying that, they was a little busy.

Fantastic stay! We stayed for one night after a friend’s wedding and were not disappointed. The room is very modern with sound proofing from the road, the bathroom and shower very adequate for a night’s stay, and the bed comfortable. The only moan was it was too warm for me, but better too warm than too cold. The breakfast which was included in the room rate was superb! And a special thanks to the owner for offering to cook us break fast after we forgot to preorder, and being late up. A really nice touch. We would definitely stay again or come off a pint and food sometime soon.

I wish it had been better, as we had heard good reviews and recently moved to the area. The Sunday lunch was bland, the chicken on the sizzlers was dry and not marinated in the chosen sauce, making it seem like it was left under the hot plate until a sauce was chosen. The chips were cold. Service was slow. I have to mention that the waitress serving the next table had a skirt that was extremely short and unprofessional. Additionally, a family was allowed in with the male still wearing their work wear, which was dirty and covered in oil - very unhygienic. It was disappointing that they were allowed to stay without being asked to wash and change. Sorry, I wish it had been better.
