The Crew Yard is only 10 miles from where I live but it was only in passing one day that we noticed it and decided to give it a go. Initially the business appears to be more geared up towards the antics centre but after walking through the shop you come out into the picturesque courtyard that is an absolute sun trap and wonder why you've not discovered this place previously.As it was a red-hot day, the courtyard was fully occupied from the dinner time rush but after initially sitting inside we were eventually able to stake a claim to one of the tables outside amongst the various antiques, curiosities and fauna.We ordered a veggie burger and Panini which were both excellent followed by a dessert platter which looked the business and definatey requires a team of at least three commited individuals to share it. This was all washed down courtesy of one of the bottled beers they stock from local suppliers such as The Pheasantry brewery. The only slight disappointment was that they dont do chips as we would have certainly upgraded from crisps to chips had they been on the menu.Thank you for your review, if you do happen to come again whilst we are busy and wish to sit outside if you ask a member of staff they will happily bring you a table outside. Unfortunately due to the size of our kitchen when we do have Pommes-Frites on the menu we can only hold enough to go with the specials. Our dessert platters are constantly changing due to seasonal availability, so you're guaranteed to always get to try something different.

Feeling a bit peckish on a long journey, this offered the perfect food stop. It has a restaurant area as well as a take away with some outdoor seating. The prices are very reasonable and the staff friendly. The fish and chips were very tasty and well worth it.

Fables Coffee House, Cake Bar and Bistro offer locally grown and sourced ingredients where ever possible. Our style of food is tasty English with a cheeky twist. Our scones are huge and fluffy, and our coffee is strong and wholesome.

I was surprised with a fabulous baby shower yesterday, the venue was beautifully decorated and looked so pretty. We were served a beautiful afternoon tea which looked incredible & tasted amazing too. The staff were really friendly and attentive. I really appreciate Fables staying open late to host my baby shower. It was a perfect evening. Thank you :)

Myself and 11 family and friends enjoyed a beautiful afternoon tea with prosecco for my Husbands 70th birthday. We used groupon vouchers and I could not have asked for more from all of the staff from booking through to waitresses. The tea was amazing, lovely choice of sandwiches and delicious cakes and scones to die for. We all enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend this lovely restaurantHi Jackie, Thank you so much for choosing the Lord Savile's Kitchen for your Husbands 70th birthday celebration and that you had a great afternoon tea.

Lovely setting in the woods. Nice staff. Some food ok. However the coffee is shockingly bad and we were charged £3 for a brownie today that was inedible. It was very old and dry, it tasted old and fusty, it was totally disgusting. It should not have been given to customers and they need to sort out the coffee, it barely resembles coffee.Thanks for your review Iâm sorry the coffee isnât to your personal taste, our coffee machines are bean to cup, we use fair trade beans and main cafe machine used fresh not powdered milk. The Brownie was freshly made on Sunday and was therefore not old, it may however have been slightly over-baked. If it had tasted âold, fusty and was inedibleâ the duty Manager would have been more than happy to assist you if you had brought it to their attention at the time.

You will not know that one of the quirkiest caféâs in the picturesque village of Edwinstowe in the heart of Sherwood Forrest is available to serve you. It is completely hidden away behind the Village Hall. The highways authority will not allow an A-Board to advertise it on the main road pavement on the Mansfield Road.Villagers and-those in the know- go regularly to The Village Kitchen because it has free parking in a tourist area where it is very difficult to park. There are disabled places.The car park looks like it was an assembly yard for cows waiting to be milked. To find this hideaway look out for the church spire. This lovely little café is right next door. Through the archway there is another red-brick courtyard for what were probably a range of old farm buildings that have local businesses in them now.Outside the door to the café there is not only a grouping of tables but also a jumble of childrenâs activity toys. Thoughtful touch.The Village Kitchen lives up to its name. When you walk in through the relatively small door you are greeted by the charming smile of Amy who helps the owner Lucy run the place. They both appear so happy-and enjoy having a laugh with their customers. âLove food and be happyâ is hanging on the wall behind the kitchen which is totally open to view.My wife and I had a great time there. In fact she had met her Nottingham cousin in the café the week before and wanted to show me where it was.I was delighted with the chat of the 2 ladies who made brown pots of tea in the way that my mother used to make it. The pots were warmed and loose tea leaves were used-not teabags. They used the tea called Novus that has won a Great Taste Award.Donât expect to go there seeing somewhere âposhâ. This café is intimate and has only a few tables inside. How they make a living with their really inexpensive prices for quality food and a low table count, I really donât know.The café faces a counter behind which is the kitchen that serves breakfast from 10 AM and closes at 4 PM after afternoon tea. You can build your own breakfast here from a range of constituents. All the food is home-made-except the marshmallows and it is fresh every morning. Everything is served on glass topped tables as you sit on some rather ordinary white chairs. With the thick original beam over your head, the planking on the floor, and lovely chat from the 2 ladies who you see making your food in a very small environment, it has the atmosphere of the farm kitchen. The decoration is minimal and the filigree trees on the wallpaper are almost not seen. However everything is clean and you have 2 large blackboards as menus in front of you on the wall. I did not see any reference to allergy information (which is now required by law) on the menu. Possibly I was too busy using the tea strainer and the sugar tongs for putting the brown sugar lumps into my tea.My wife and I had the scones with our tea. They were succulent and there were a variety of flavours.On the menu there was a range of interesting items like duck eggs and stuffed pancake. Top of the list there was everyoneâs favourite-the Nottinghamshire Pie full of slow you-cooked beef, asparagus, leek and onions. My wife had it on the last occasion and found it delightful.The menu had a very wide range of sandwiches and rolls-but the hot meals were limited. That is only to be expected, in a small café with limited seats. If you want a bigger choice go to a bigger restaurant. However if you want value for money combined with good food, drop into the Village Kitchen.I found it unfortunate that while the toilet (only one) was freshly painted, there was not room for a child changing tray and the wall heater for the only source of hot water into a small sink that you had to squeeze round to get out of the door-was broken. I asked for an explanation of this and was told by Lucy that she rented the café from the local District Council. She had made complaints to them about replacement of the water heater since Christmas. It was probably because both of the ladies were extremely pleasant that the Council just wasnât bothered about obeying the law that requires there to be hot water for customers to wash hands in an establishment serving food.I am certainly going back for the Nottinghamshire Pie and will probably sit outside in the courtyard to eat it in the sunshine. Then I will feel very happy.

My husband, my grandson and I ate dinner here recently.The bar was very noisy but we were shown to the back of the pub to eat, which was far quieter. It was a Sunday, so we were able enough to take advantage of both the Sunday lunch menu and the main menu. There was lots of choice.We were all very pleased with our mains and desserts. The wine was expensive, but, overall, it was quite good value. The staff were chatty and the service spot on,Thanks for the kind review!

We stayed at nearby Center Parcs this week and booked at meal at Launays yesterday evening to celebrate our Anniversary with family. The meal was absolutely wonderful. The tomato soup was beautiful as was the sirloin steak and the dessert. I cannot praise it enough. We live in Manchester and if we lived nearer we would definitely eat here more often without a doubt.
