Square And Compass

Unfortunately, I had the displeasure of coming across the Square and Compass in Normanton on Trent while looking at properties in the area with my partner. Our experience at this restaurant left me unimpressed. The place seemed nice and the staff were pleasant, but the problems arose with our meals. I ordered a glass of Merlot and sparkling water. The water was fine, but the wine was far from impressive. My partner ordered a mint and pea risotto with edamame beans and pea shoots, but it came without edamame beans or pea shoots and was described as bland.

Visited today for my mum’s birthday, all the way from Mansfield, after a recommendation from a local saying there was a new chef… Wow! Just wow! The Sunday roasts were amazing and each of them (chicken, pork beef) were tried by at least one member of our party and were outstanding. The meat was cooked to perfection, the vegetables were fresh and tasty, the roasties and Yorkshires were absolutely delicious! We had a variety of the desserts between us and all were heartily enjoyed… my Dad even mentioned the bread pudding was one of the best he’s ever had, which is quite an accolade as that is his go-to pud! Thank you Square Compass for not only the scrumptious food but also the quality service...

Went for Sunday Carvery 2 meals were produced that looked like they had been sat in an oven keeping warm for hours disgusting, especially at £13. We back again as it was local to where we were staying (just for a drink) my partner decided a bowl of chips was safe to order no it wasn’t, I think they were dragged out of the bin and warmed up again horrible so dumped those as well.

We often go to this pub for meals which are always excellent but they just went well and truly over the top when we had a Valentines Dinner the food was 5 stars and the service was 5 stars. The staff are always smiling and nothing is too much trouble. The menu is excellent with lots of choice and you can be sure whatever you choose you won't be dissapointed.
