The Apron - Bassetlaw

Best breakfast for miles around. Booking is a must though to avoid disappointment. Also grab a sausage roll and slice of Bakewell for later

Simply the best, Retford is fortunate in having a number of good places to have lunch but The Apron is just the best. Superb food (especially the fish dishes), a varied menu warm friendly staff ... but don't tell anyone. it's hard enough to get a table there already !

Without a doubt the very best breakfast we’ve ever had. The setting, the staff, the quality and presentation are absolutely amazing. Rebooked straight away.

Amazing food and brilliant customer service! We enjoyed a family birthday meal here today, we rang ahead (by 2 weeks) to ensure they could cater for a vegan diet. And wow did they deliver! The 3 course vegan meals were amazing, so well thought through and cooked to perfection. The meat meals were all enjoyed also, everyone's plate was clean. Would highly recommend

Phoned to book a table for 4 adults and 2 toddlers yesterday as it was my Dads birthday. We were actually in town looking at other cafes at the the time however the girl that answered asked if we wanted food and said that was fine but to come straight away. I did explain we were in town but we would pack up and head straight over (which we did she said this was fine. Absolutely no mention of food service stopping on the phone. We arrived 20/25 minutes later at 2.57 to be told we couldn’t have food and it was only cake/coffees as they stopped at 3. I had 2 children under 2 with me, we’d travelled through those awful roadworks to be told no food. The lady telling us was quite abrupt and said we’d been told on the phone food service was ending at 3 (we hadn’t we wouldn’t have gone there if we’d been told that! . My sister, her partner and toddler had also turned up assuming they’d accommodate an extra 3 (which the girl on the counter had said was fine when we arrived however we were still told no food. We left and went back in to town as they clearly didn’t want our custom. Disappointing as it does look like a nice cafe and somewhere my dad has wanted to try for a while however after our experience, being made to feel like they were doing us a favour letting us in, and their lack of customer service skills we won’t be back.
