Gurkha Tandoori Restaurant
17 Grove St, RetfordToday we spent a lovely evening with friends at Gurkha Tandoori. Very attentive staff, gorgeous food with spice levels for everyone. My Chicken Nepali has been soo tasty and mild - simple perfection. If you are not sure about how spicy a dish is, just ask, they are more then willing to adjust them for you. Highly recommended! Thank you very much again.

The Herbalist Rooms
1-3 Bridgegate, RetfordKeith was incredibly helpful and responsive! He made sure I had the app and that I understood the instructions and access codes. The rooms are quite central with easy access to most main shops in the area.
Our room was rather small but very clean; there were clean towels and some small toiletries.
Some cons are:
- thin walls (we were in room 11 and could hear noise from room 13 very clearly)
- a strange green light was lit on the ceiling and we had to cover this up as it was too bright with the lights off
- the window is next to the main street, so traffic was very audible by the early morning
- shared bathrooms - not ideal
- no blackout blinds, so the room was bright by early morning
- very basic toiletries (no hairdryer, etc)

The White Horse
Great North Road, RetfordWe came in for a steak night. It was refreshing that the chefs knew exactly what medium was! Cooked spot on, the home made chips were spot on and the peppercorn sauce has a nice peppery punch too!
The staff don't badger you but make sure you have everything you need even in a busy restaurant.
The beer choice for me was great. Don't forget to leave room for the 4-layer fudge cake too!!

Open Kitchen - Chinese Takeaway
24 London Rd, RetfordEverytime ive ordered the food has been amazing. Me and missus regularly order their noodle boxes. I have hot box missus has combo box. This along with a sauce of choice is a gorgeous meal each. Highly Recommend. 5star. Never had a issue to comment but the staff every time i have made a mistake, or ive needed to change anything or by chance collected instead of delivery! The staff have been brilliant helpful and attentative. Thank you for a lovely meal each time. Please ignore belows negative comment the place is full of well wiped clean stainless steel surfaces. It is a working kitchen so expect the odd bit of mess. But cmon ive been in a few times and each time not messy at all so have no idea where the below post is referring too... or is it a spam reviewer or sabotager judging by not using full name or a name at all.... highly recommend so please give this place a try...

I had mine with a ham sandwich which was on fresh brown bread. The ham was chunky and tasty, not the plastic wet kind. My friend had a warm baguette with butter with hers.
It's a cosy spot with good aesthetics.
Service was prompt without feeling rushed.
