All Mine Cakes by the Lake in Newark and Sherwood

Visiting an establishment that titles itself 'All Mine Cakes . . .' we had the impression that we would be presented with a display of cakes from which to make our choice. A grave error! No cakes on display at all, the nearest to 'cakes' is a blackboard listing what is available, which I was advised to take a photograph and make our choice at our table. It seemed significant that scones were on display and a large number of customers ordered scones. During our visit no one ordered cake - you do not order what you cannot see. Reading through the menu the outstanding point was the price for each item. Far from saying the prices were a rip-off, they seemed 'over the top' (in my opinion). Most probably the quality is very good, but not that good. Still - you have to try these things once, I just have to ensure I do not make the same mistake twice.

All mine regret. Cake was extremely sickly, I appreciate that it is a gluten free cafe, but the substitute for flour shouldn't be copious amounts of sugar. Staff shouting names in order to identify customers on the decking is a ridiculous system. What's wrong with table numbers? - Not very professional and seems unorganised. Once was enough .

Nice spot but not worth the price.Long queue ordered 3 different cakes my Bramley apple cake was soggy and did not taste of apple at all.Thougjt nearly 7pounds for a scone very pricey there are no prices on the cakes when you go to the till.Brought order out had not put our hot chocolate on order.Been to some nice places with lovely views with reasonable prices.Dont think this is worth a second visit.

service and location was good, price of food and food portions was not so good. I left disappointed, my taste buds not satisfied and I was still hungry. Expensive lunch, which left me wanting more.

Lovely place for a little get together! My friends and I wanted to treat ourselves and catch up, especially after a difficult few months for us all. This was exactly the place to do it, the atmosphere was perfect. Our server was called Helen and she went out of her way to help my friend who struggles in social situations unless she feels completely comfortable. Very friendly and warm service, beautiful delicious cakes.

What a fabulous 100% gluten free cafe. We had lunch and then breakfast the next morning. The food was amazing and you would not have known it was gluten free. Good sized portions. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Highly recommend it.

The food is really good here, as is the service/ staff and setting. They offer Blue Light Card discount too. My only negative is the price of some of the items. They are extortionate. I understand it is gluten free but it makes it hard for a family to enjoy a meal there. The full English is between £13 and £15 ( near enough) and you don’t even get toast with that. I think we were charged an extra £2.95 for 2 slices of toast. At that price you would expect to get at least a slice.

An excellent cafe by the lake. It is fully gluten free ( dairy free catered for too) Although the food is as good if not better than non gluten free food A good selection of cakes. Breakfasts and breakfast butties, open sandwiches, pancakes. The chips are amazing Staff are friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend a visit

Lovely location, delicious coffee and cake. Great friendly service. No wonder it’s so popular. We will certainly be back in the very near future.

This place has a nice setting but is Absolutly ludicrously priced £23 for 3 drinks(1 hot and 2 cold) & 2 cakes which were presented to us in a packet which we had to open and place on the plate ourselves. Tiny cakes for £6!!! I noticed on the counter they were selling fresh sourdough bread- a small plate sized bun for £8.95! Not a chance will I return at these prices. there are more beautiful places very locally which are much better value for money

Very happy with our first visit here. I found All Mine Cakes via a gluten free Facebook page, as a coeliac I was pleasantly surprised to see so many gluten free options. We sat by the lake in the sunshine, I ordered a coffee and chip butty, my other half ordered a coffee and breakfast sandwich. This came to just over £30 which is rather expensive. So visiting will be a rare treat rather than a regular visit unfortunately. The food & drinks were delicious & good quality. Staff were polite and we had an overall good experience, our dog can sit outside with us too. We took a nice stroll into Southwell. I'd definitely recommend family & friends to visit. We'll go again in a few months perhaps when our bank account has recovered! 😂

Food nice enough but at £34 for 3 scones, 2 coffees and 1 tea we won’t be going back. They even charge an extra 50p if you have butter on your scone!

Absolutely terrible. Had to wait outside before being offered a table. Then had to find a table, read the 8 menus before going back up to the counter to order. The prices were extortionate, the chips soggy and full of fat, buttery and heavy scone. Coffee was cold before food arrived. Outside door was slammed constantly by staff, not customers. No customer service. Flooded carpark. An utterly miserable experience. Take my advice and save your money!

We’ve been here a few times. It is a really lovely spot with a terrace against a small fishing lake. It was a warm afternoon for the time of year and relaxing watching the fish jump was wonderful. We had 2 small coffees, a single portion of fries and 2 sausage rolls. They were all very nice but the main criticism is the price. It is very expensive and this light snack came in at £25. Lovely to visit but the old adage ‘you get what you pay for’ is particularly apt here. Be warned you need deep pockets.

We love love love this gem of a place! Visit a few times a year due to distance, but well worth the visit. Savoury or sweet you won’t be disappointed it’s all delicious 😋 We sit out on the terrace with the dog. Always have cake can’t resist and if we can’t fit them in we take them home! Hayley and her team are friendly and everything runs smoothly. We don’t have any allergy’s or intolerance food wise, but admire the ethos of the tea room. We usually do the trail with the dog can highly recommend!

We came for my daughters birthday and she is coeliac. The staff were so lovely and friendly. When ordering the lady behind the till was extremely welcoming and helpful with recommendations. Unfortunately, the french toast had sold out which proves how good the food is! My daughter loved her food and we couldn't even tell it was gluten-free. The whole menu is coeliac-friendly which is something we've never come across plus it's a dog friendly establishment as well. We will definitely be coming back, can't rate it highly enough.

Beautiful spot by the lake with decent outside area. Cakes were delicious and we intend to return for breakfast as soon as possible. Lovely and clean with very good service. Decent disabled toilet and baby change.

Extremely disappointing. Lovely views (and guess that’s what the escalated prices reflect!). We arrived late morning for coffee and cake. We were welcomed by a very frosty and unwelcoming member of staff (hardly what you would expect for front of house!) and proceeded to order coffee and scones which we decided to enjoy outside in the sunshine. We sat away from anyone else and our drinks and scones arrived in good time. We’d just started to sit back and enjoy our coffees when the frosty front of house person came over and told my husband not to vape any more as it wasn’t allowed on their premises. This is absolutely fine but there was no signage up indicating this ‘policy’ or indeed was he creating a nuisance to other customers. We promptly drank our coffees and ate our very salty scones (not at all worthy of the £5.95 price tag) and left. Bad move, we had walked from Farnsfield and would have enjoyed another coffee before moving on but this being our first visit, we won’t be visiting again.

My friend and I visited here for a light lunch, looking at the menu decided it was pricey for lunch, we then opted for coffee and cake , which was written on a board with crossings out, when I asked if they had any cheese scones the lady serving said they had all gone and another lady snapped and said you can see it’s crossed out, well actually I couldn’t because it was crossed out. Non of the staff were smiling or friendly. We will not return

A lovely place to visit all gluten free which are delicious. Lovely view of the lake . A nice walk from southwell too or to drive here plenty of car parking . Often visit

Popped for a cuppa on a nice afternoon. The coffee is very nice and the fruit scone with butter and jam was very tasty. This is always a beautiful setting to sit and relax. The prices aren’t cheap, but then this isn’t Greggs! As a treat now and again it’s worth a visit ☺️

This was our first visit here and I do have Mixed feelings. It is definitely set in a lovely location and very busy, which is always a good sign. The food we observed others have looked appetising, but i can only comment on the coffee and cakes. We were told to choose a table and put our order in at the counter; so far so good. Choice of cakes were vast and written on a bill board. This required me to take an image on my phone in order to take back to my elderly mother. This would have been a lot easier if she could have seen what she was ordering as she got a little confused reading them out. For those who are diagnosed with dementia often require visual clues to aid understanding and can’t relay on their memory as to what a Victoria sponge looks like. The only cakes correctly displayed were scones. The remaining were wrapped in a paper/cellophane bag, making it almost impossible to see the cake on offer. It would have been a lot better to be able to see the cakes on offer, as in other establishments. Failing this take photos of them and laminate on the tables to aid others.

Really attractive place overlooking a fishing lake. Adequate parking, dog friendly and a pretty hamlet to look around if you fancy a short walk. The food was good, a little pricey but nice and we enjoyed it. We were greeted at the door, told to sit anywhere and order from the counter. So we looked at the menu, decided what to eat and stood like lemons in a painfully slow queue at the counter. Servers were forever walking through the queue carrying food and hot drinks. The queue was snaking out the entrance door, newly arrived people were trying to get into the building, diners were trying to get out the building and people were trying keep their place in the queue. It’s messy, it’s awkward and it’s inconvenient. Why not do table service. I long for table service the way they do it in France, Germany, Czechia etc. It took 10 minutes queueing to order food, please have a rethink and consider your customers who are there to relax, eat, talk, take tea and enjoy the experience. Nobody loves queueing, table service would make this a truly great place, give you more room for tables, free up waiting staff and make everyone happy.

After hearing great things about this place we were a little underwhelmed. We had a breakfast each which was nice but overpriced for what we received. We looked forward to a cake for pudding! Where were the cakes?! They were in little packages or a choice of cheese or fruit scones. I had imagined a display of inviting Victoria sandwich, coffee cake, carrot cake etc under glass lids to chose from. We would go back for a coffee as we enjoyed the walk but wouldn’t bother again with the food. As a couple we spent £50 on 2 (average sized breakfasts (no toast or bread included), 4 coffees and 2 pieces of cake.

My partner and I visited yesterday (Sunday) at 12.45. The greeting that we received from a member of staff was unwelcoming and gave the impression of ‘what do you want’. We were told once we had ordered that there was a 30minute wait on food, despite the cafe not being full and with several empty tables. 40minutes later our food still hadn’t arrived - we went to check on our order and it had gotten lost/beenforgotten. We asked for a refund as the staff seemed more concerned with trying to find the ticket as opposed to making the situation right. Incredibly disappointed as we have enjoyed the food here previously. The atmosphere unfortunately feels chaotic and results in orders going missing and leaving customers dissatisfied.

Been here with my daughter and grandson three times now. Twice for breakfast and once for lunch. So glad we found this place! Definitely a hidden gem. It’s now our favourite Tea Room. Location is beautiful and the food/drink spot on. Food is delicious 😋. We will definitely be regulars here 💜

One of those places you want to tell the world but then if you keep it quiet you will not struggle to get a table! We loved it, the food, the location, the service and strangely enough the other customers too! We will be sure to go back. All too often when you eat gluten free you find you have to settle for second best, not here!

Stopped off on our Southwell walk for coffee and cake, beautiful location with professional hardworking staff. Coffee was hot tasty and well presented and we had the Brookie and Scone with the Brookie being really tasty but unfortunately the scone although fresh that day was so dry and just crumbled away even after we asked for it to be warmed up to hopefully make it more appetising. We will be back as the cooked food and other assortments are great but will give the scones a miss.

We called for coffee as we had driven past once before. The setting is lovely and the sun was shining so all the better. We ordered coffee and a coke for our son which was a pretty standard price today. My son wanted a snack and I could only see kettle crisps or a chocolate orange twirl which he didn’t like so I looked at the cake choices with him and he chose a skittles cookie slice. It was small and served in a sealed bag on a plate and it cost £4.95!!!!! Had my son not been stood with me I would have cancelled the order it was extortionately priced and was not worth the money. Not sure any skittles cookie cake anywhere would be worth £4.95 I just felt ripped off 😬

Wonderful location, always friendly staff. Clean tidy with blankets if you sit outdoor, dog friendly outside large area. Watch the fishermen ! Food delicious well presented gluten free.

WE VISIT ALL MINE CAKES BY THE LAKE REGULARLY DUE TO THE FACT IT IS AMAZING! THE FOOD IS ALL FRESHLY PREPARED, COOKED AND PRESENTED VERY WELL. THE FACT THAT IT IS BUSY SPEAKS VOLUMES. THE STAFF ARE ALWAYS POLITE AND WELCOMING. IF YOU HAVE ANY FOOD INTOLERANCES, THIS IS A SAFE HAVEN. I AM COELIAC, I FEEL SAFE EATING EVERYTHING. HERE. WE APPRECIATE THE EXCELLENT QUALITY OF FOOD THAT IS SERVED AND UNDERSTAND THAT THESE DAYS YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR QUALITY. THANK YOU ALL MINE CAKES BY THE LAKE!!

Hugely overpriced …. And not fantastic either. In the current climate who can afford £16 for a cooked breakfast??? Utterly overrated…. And around £5 for cake???

Everything is of the best quality and cooked to perfection. Staff very friendly. We’re lucky to have such a great facility on our doorstep. Bravo!

The place is good , and the cakes and food are brilliant, will go again, only just outside Southwell, nice day out

We both had the poached pear breakfast pancakes and wow they were absolutely delicious. Sat in the sunshine overlooking the fishing lake, couldn't have wished for anything nicer.

Throughout lockdown our friends that live locally had been posting photos of their takeaways from this cafe , and so it was high on our list to visit when we came to stay with friends. It is tucked away on a little side road and...

Owner was rude and patronising. Spent 5 mins lecturing us when we arrived but didn’t use any of that time to explain it would be a 45 mins wait for food. Food overpriced. We won’t go back.

Popped in today with a friend for lunch. This is the only place I've found where I can get a dairy free hot chocolate. And with all the trimmings..dairy free squirts cream, marshmallows or chocolate bits etc. Bliss!! And the staff are sooo lovely. Would...

We travelled a 180mile round trip to come to the café by the lake. Why? Because everything here is gluten free and you wouldn't even know it! On arrival my Coeliac daughter asked what she could have on the menu. I said EVERYTHING but she...

I just wanted to say what a fantastic job you have done. We visited today for the first time since covid ( have been pre covid). I have been very nervous about visiting places especially having a newborn. From the second we got there to...

Visited here with my mum on 20th August for the first time. With such a beautiful setting over a lake, we was quite disappointed with the quality of cakes to say they specialise in cakes, well more like cupcakes/muffins. We expected fresh cakes by the...

Beautiful cafe for a coffee & bite to eat overlooking the lake. Not the cheapest but I guess you get what you pay for & everything is first class. Recommended.

Well what an amazing surprise this Cafe is. I'm a Coeliac and had read on the menu and from other reviews that they did gluten free but was expecting the usual One sandwich, One cake and the obligatory chocolate brownie.. Oh I was WRONG... THE...

Been few times. Very nice location. Unfortunately cakes are so so (sometimes dry). My wife had mocha on previous visit - so sweet had to throw away. Real downside is price. Very expensive especially considering quality. Not sure whether owners think Southwell is reasonably affluent...

Brilliant service - exceptional adherence to social distancing guidelines. Food was delicious - had the big breakfast and it was yummy! But the best bit was the After Eight Brownie - EPIC!

What an amazing place. Came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Thorough covid measures in place but they did not taint the experience at all. We enjoyed an amazing breakfast then later on cakes. Nothing was too much trouble and all the staff were so...

Visited today for cake and coffee, cake was delicious, coffee wasn’t great. Overpriced but nice setting. Might return if over that way

Absolutely amazing cafe, everything is gluten free which is my dream as a coeliac! Amazing cake, amazing service and such a beautiful location too. Very covid secure and have always felt safe. I've already bought so many people to visit and have never been disappointed...

Great service, fab food. Cannot fault this place. And extra attention paid to cleanliness and safety, more places should heed their ways of working.

We visited on Sunday 20th at 1pm , I ordered the fish goujon bagel as did my friend. Our small bagels were very dry not toasted and didn't have any butter on. The fish was tasty but a minute portion, it all looked a bit...

I visited for the first time yesterday and as a seasoned coeliac, I’m used to the fear and panic of eating out anywhere. But not here. THIS PLACE IS GLUTEN FREE HEAVEN. I’m 100% sure I would move in if I was allowed. The food...

We ordered take away cakes and we were not disappointed. Large choice of cakes on the menu to suit all the family. The cakes were delicious and full of flavour. Easy ordering and excellent COVID safe collection.

I have visited this cafe a number of times, pre-COVID and during. It used to be one of the best eating out experiences in Southwell, especially with its beautiful location, it was really something special, but I’m heart broken to say over the last few...

I visited All Mine Cakes for the second time, not being overly impressed by the first occasion but putting it mainly down to circumstance with Covid. However, my recent trip cemented that I wouldn’t like to come here again unless big changes are made. Absolutely...

Location great, covid rules good, cakes were ok but the chip butty and sausage butty were not good. The bread didn't taste great. Sausage butty was a waste of money as it went straight in the bin. The tea was really strong and no milk...

Queueing was fine, as we had heard good reports. Covid precautions were excellent. However the food (Avocado and soft boiled egg bagels) was nothing special and very over priced at £9 for a bagel. The cake which we had after was ok , but again...

First time visit today - loved it! Excellent COVID protocols in place, and we were lucky enough to get a table. The staff were helpful and friendly. There was a great range of cakes but the highlight for me was the most delicious portion of...

We quite often pop in here for either tea/coffee and cake or hot or cold food, and it never disappoints. A member of the family is gluten free and lactose free, so coming here keeps away the disappointment of not having much choice from the...

Visited again this weekend. Fast becoming our weekly treat. Hayley and her team work tirelessly to ensure everything is COVID secure and the food is always delicious and fresh. Finding somewhere with more than one GF option is difficult yet this entire site is GF...

Fantastic place for options & variety As I always struggle with gluten free available when I’m out with family . Usually limited choice . Enjoyable drink & choices of cakes Plus the views of the lake were amazing on a sunny day

Lovely location next to a lake and plenty of parking. Excellent ‘Covid’ rules. £5.95 for a sausage butty. The bread was stale and the sausages had obviously been cooked earlier in the day and kept warm, so they too had gone a bit hard and...

We queued up for about 10 mins , good system 1 in 1 out policy . However we were told loads of rules about what to do which were a bit confusing . Even the people behind us said so . We got our cake , drinks and chips which were amazing and delicious , however we couldn’t eat in the car park or on the site (sat on a fence or rock ) . Bit annoying as we walked 5 miles from bilsthorpe down the Southwell trail and wanted a stop and a energy break . So we leant on a fence down the road . Would recommend the shop and food , just confusing rules .

We've been visiting All Mine Cakes since it opened as it has such an extensive range of Gluten Free options and now go about once a week, sometimes just for coffee, always fresh, tasty and delivered quickly. Any delays are due to the popularity of...

Visited here at the weekend, nice location, very clean and friendly staff. Personally it’s “over COVID secure”, I’ll echo another review where they mentioned moderate queue but too longer waiting times. Food was nice..... but the £30 for a toastie, a chip butty, water, hot choc and a sausage roll is way too over priced. In comparison, we paid less for an evening takeaway with hot food over the weekend. Not sure I’d be happy to pay the price again for the return.

Visited yesterday for the first time . Apart from the lovely weather and beautiful walk we were most impressed not only with the drinks and food but also the wonderful service . Very covid secure and wonderfully organised . Have no problems queuing if its well organised . Will be visiting as a walking group when we can Hot chocolate with aero something else ! Thank you so much

Always liked going for a good coffee before, but went for a takeaway and my advice is don’t bother. Wanted three coffees massive wait despite a moderate queue. How they get it so wrong is beyond me. Wont be going back til lockdown over.

On a beautiful day we decided to visit our favourite cafe by the lake. Why would you not when they do everything they can to make it a safe experience. The food is always excellent and proper tea and coffee. As I passed Hayley's husband on our way out I mentioned if all establishments treated their customers with such care and cleanliness then this dratted Covid may have been defeated by now. Keep up the good work and the beautiful food.

Met friends for lunch. Great place to be able to meet with tier two restrictions. Warm & dry under the awning and heater. Food is extremely good. Staff fantastic and friendly. Will definitely be going back again soon

Visited to use the outdoor space to catch up with a different household. There is free parking and plenty of it, we received a warm welcome at the door with an explanation of the procedures in place for Covid and it was so well organised. We were allowed inside in our separate family group to order and then outside to choose your seating. There is a tipi, marquee and heaters so very comfortable for a cooler day. The drinks and cakes arrived quickly and they were lovely. Everything is bagged so you can also take away. A bonus for our friend was it’s all GF and there is plenty of choice.You can’t walk the lake but there is a nice walk to the Southwell trail 5 minutes from the car park. Lovely place and we felt very safe.

Great standard of cleanliness during the covid crisis. I was a little dissatisfied with the price and the fact everything is served in either bags or card board boxes. Very difficult to eat a breakfast out of a box. The price was expensive for the portion size. You don’t get any bread with your breakfast and £8 for the veggie breakfast - for 2 sausage, 2 small mushrooms, spoonful of beans, 1 egg and five tiny tomatoes on the vine. Definitely not worth the price
