Half Moon - Bassetlaw

Visited here for an evening meal as a couple, heard lots of great things from friends, struggled to find the pub with all the outside lights off wasn 't sure it was even open, parked up and went inside, was ignored by all of the 4 staff on shift with only 1 other table in, we found a table and decided to look through the menu, great choice of meals, place was clean, but all we could hear in the dead silence of the restaurant was the young blonde waitress whining about how dead it is, and talking about her boyfriend etc, we felt awkward, like we were intruding, we ordered food and as I went to the bar I was ignored by the three staff behind (granted one was restocking the bar fridges) the other two were busy on thier phones. Eventually I got served by the young lad on shift, and as I was ordering the young girl on her phone loudly said 'foods coming off at half 7 '. Which made us feel even more intrusive, by this point we wish we hadn 't come. Whilst waiting for food another table left leaving just 2 tables, us and one other, we had to listen to the young blonde girls life dramas for 15 min, she was loud enough we didn 't miss a thing (wish we had). Food came out, and food was brilliant, presented well, tasted great but again all the way though, listening to her drone on, and watch the staff just stand around bored, (except the older lady). No one came to do a check back at any point, and once we had finished our meals we again had to listen to the blonde girl talk about how her boyfriend better be at her house when she gets home... Bla.. Bla... Bla. We couldn 't take anymore of the grovel and left, needless to say won 't be returning, shame because it 's a gorgeous pub, in a great location with a great menu and the food was great, ruined by staff that just don 't care. You would think with soaring costs paying 4 people to stand around on thier phones not engaging with customers, doing check backs or creating a welcoming environment, how these independent pubs are surviving. Back to the millhouse for our weekly date nights.

I visited a charming countryside inn with friends during my holiday in England. As a Spanish ex-pat, I found the staff to be very friendly. The drinks and meals we ordered were delicious. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience, but perhaps a bit of feedback during the meal would enhance the experience even more. Great job overall!

This pub is lovely, with welcoming staff and delicious food. The Mix Grill Monday deal for £10 is amazing! You get a huge mix grill for that price, which is a great value.

I went for Christmas dinner and it was terrible! The soup was awful and the dinner, well, if you can even call it that was horrendous.

On arrival we were greeted with a smile by the bar tender who swiftly booked us in for our table which we were able to pick on booking. Sat with our drinks listening to the festive music, the atmosphere was loverly !! I noticed people who arrived just minutes before us that they were served swiftly, but we were patient but to a point that I had to tell waiting staff we were ready for our pre orderd starters. Which arrived within 5mis , my partners starter was over cooked which was the cod I tasted it and it was a little over cooked I had the baked camembert cheese not something I'm that fond of . A personal choice I would have loved a a traditional Prawn cocktail on the menu but that's me . Again after we finished our startes we seemed to wait for ever for our main ,had to remind staff we were ready again . I do understand its a busy time but when you see 4 tables around you getting fast service we started to feel that we were invisible!! The main arrived and there had been some confusion between waiting staff and the kitchen service regarding my partner is gluten free with the Yorkshire pudding but it swiftly got sorted . Well the main course traditional Christmas Dinner with all the trimmings was loverly piping hot just how we like it the meat was tender veg cooked to perfection!! Realy did not have any issues with the main . Now the desert again there was confusion between the the waiting staff and kitchen and we had to wait a while for it to arrive .I had Christmas pudding which should have come with brandy sauce I got custard not impressed . Over all the meal was OK cannot fault the main ,it was the service that let it down and paying £64.99 per head I expected better service especially when 4 tables around us were getting that swift service. Would we do Christmas Dinner again or visit for a meal yes we would, but we would expect better table service
