The Shireoaks Inn Pub in Worksop

81-83 Westgate, Worksop S80 1LT

About This Pub

Ah, The Shireoaks Inn – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Worksop, run by the same family for over four decades, so you get that genuine, heartfelt touch in everything they do. From the reviews, folks are raving about the friendly service; imagine walking in and the team sorting you out a table on the spot, even when it's buzzing, or serving up delicious grub like hearty roasts with massive portions that leave you satisfied without breaking the bank. It's got a great atmosphere too, especially on Sundays when it's packed and there's free parking nearby – perfect for a relaxed Sunday roast. But, let's keep it real, there have been a couple of hiccups, like one person getting caught out with a booking for what turned out to be a full-on three-course meal and disco when they just wanted a quiet drink, so it's worth clarifying details upfront. And that 'closed' status on their site is a head-scratcher; it might be an error since they're listed as open most days, but it'd be a shame to turn up and find otherwise. All in all, if you're after a place with heart, good value, and a smile with your pint, this one's worth a visit – just go in with your eyes open for the odd snag.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The friendly service really stands out – it's a family-run spot where the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, just like popping round to a mate's for a chat.
The food is spot on, with generous servings and delicious options like those roast meals and the lemon meringue roulade; it's all about quality and great value, especially with their meal deals.
It's been in the same family's hands for 40 years, giving it that warm, homely vibe that's perfect for a relaxed evening out.
They're open seven days a week with handy hours, making it easy to drop in for a pint or a bite without much fuss.

Cons

There was a bit of a mix-up in one review about booking for an event, where someone wasn't told it was a full three-course meal and disco, which could leave you disappointed if you're after something simpler.
The business isn't claimed on Google, so it might not respond as quickly to any issues or feedback, which could mean things don't get sorted out as smoothly as they could.
Their website mentions a 'current operating status: close', which is a bit confusing – it might just be a typo, but it's worth double-checking they're open before you head over.

Called in today on the off chance. The owner found us a table. The staff were excellent, the food delicious and not a long wait , seeing how busy the place was. We will be visiting again when local.

The staff were very pleasant and the meal deal with dico was very good value. But we weren't told when we booked by phone, it was a 3 cause meal and disco all inclusive. This was not what I wanted. So I apologised and we went somewhere else. I think it would have been a dam good night if I was 10 years younger and could eat a 3 cause meal.

This is a very popular pub, certainly on a Sunday. Excellent range of roast meals available, and generous servings. All staff worked very hard, and everyone was very pleasant and friendly. Nearby car park is free on a Sunday. The lemon meringue roulade was excellent.
