For only a small town we are blessed with a huge selection of fabulous independently owned restaurants to suit all tastes that would be sure to rival any larger town and city!

Many of the restaurants have been established for decades, yet still evolve to attract new clientele whilst holding true to their values of exemplary customer service and fantastic food. There is also an active and robust Pub Watch scheme in the town ensuring a pleasant and safe atmosphere is maintained at all times.

Here we take a look at just some of what Bawtry has to offer for a fantastic evening out!  

The longest established restaurant is the China Rose Cantonese Restaurant which opened its doors in the town over 30 years ago. Regarded as one of the finest Cantonese restaurants in the region for its freshly cooked, innovative dishes it is now equally popular for its monthly ‘Showtime’ evenings featuring live music.

Hot on its heels in terms of longevity is the 4* Crown Hotel where head chef Caz and her team create dishes which emulate current food trends as well as embracing traditional favourites. The ambient restaurant, with its contemporary candlelight, quiet booths and eye catching chandeliers, make it the perfect place to enjoy fantastic food in stylish surroundings.

More recent favourites, and winners of the Best Contemporary Restaurant of the Year in the 2016 Eastside Magazine Awards is Caviars Restaurant and Wine Bar which offers sophisticated fine dining in luxurious, intimate surrounding.

It it’s a great steak or rustic pizzas that you fancy then Coleman’s Pizzeria and Steakhouse and Bawtry’s Bar and Brasserie offering two separate dining venues with the same menu. Coleman’s, who won the Reader’s Choice award in the 2016 Eastside Restaurant of the Year Awards, offers contemporary restaurant surroundings whilst the Bar and Brasserie, who also came away with the Best Lunch Award, has the same great food with a quirky décor scheme and regular live entertainment and music. Similarly, 31 Market Place Cocktail Bar and Bistro host regular music and comedy nights and its delicious meat & cheese platters, crepes, galettes  – and The Bistro Gin Rack offering in excess of 15 delicious gins –  make it a great place to relax especially on its sun trap terrace.

Another summer favourite for its ‘Grey Goose’ courtyard garden is Ziniz Wine Bar and Tuscan Restaurant. Family run and voted one of the top ten Italian restaurants in the UK by The Times, its contemporary interiors and buzzing atmosphere make it one of Bawtry’s most popular restaurants.

The Town House has been situated in the heart of Bawtry for over 20 years but now under new ownership has undergone a visual transformation creating a warm, welcoming and slightly quirky interior. It also has a fantastic outdoor terrace offering the perfect place to watch the world go by and enjoy evening food and drinks each Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

There’s also a couple of fantastic Indian restaurants and keep an eye out for the town’s latest addition this Summer too, a tapas bar in the Courtyard. With so much choice, which will you visit first?!
