Chesters in Newark and Sherwood - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Thank you Josh. Always feel welcomed.

Good place to eat at about 6 pm at night Lots of locals Good food is not a bad price, all fresh made

Nice building and location but wow the drink prices are ridiculous. Cheaper to bus into Newark and save your bus fair on the first drink. Not sure why so premium as definitely doesn't feel that way.

Typical local pub, also offers food

My local pub, love the place! Great atmosphere, food and plenty if drinks on offer. Pool table and Sports shown too, couldn't ask for more!

We were attending a wake for a friend. The food laid on by Chesters was enjoyed by everyone I think. Thank you Chesters.

Nice friendly pub with good , well priced food. Quick service and really good value for money. Varied menu . Definitely worth a visit!

Excellent food, very hospitable Did not like having to walk through the smoking area to enter from the car park😡

Very reasonable prices friendly welcoming staff will go again

Lovely pub, lots of different rooms to choose from. Great hosts, we will be back soon

Food was good and reasonable price.

This pub was round the corner from a b&b we were staying at so easy to walk to. We were made very welcome and all the staff were friendly and efficient. There was a good choice of traditional pub food, very generous portions and both meals we chose were excellent. I don’t know how they do it for the incredibly reasonable cost. I would happily recommend Chesters!

Family buffet was average at best ...

Very friendly staff and services are great 👍 Will try the food next time 😃

Nice pub. Great burger. Friendly staff.

Nice meals and very reasonable price. Would definitely come again

A lovely time had, good food good service, fathers day breakfast

Great food at reasonable prices.

My wife has special dietary needs which were well understood and catered for - she thoroughly enjoyed her liver & bacon casserole. My pizza was a bit "leathery". We'd certainly return - but avoiding the pizza!

Good quality local pub, well kept ales, cheerful staff and excellent pub food.

Always a pleasure to visit here.

Great Food Tastiest Burger ever lovley Cold Beer Friendly Staff Good place

Absolutely brilliant. Service is good and food is amazing.

Overpriced and manager very rude and nasty to staffing front of customers, very disappointing not a nice place for a meal and a drink. Avoid.

Good food very nice people very reliable

Only one real ale available. Doombar. Slopped measures of Baileys on bar rather than in glass. Guiness served with 25mm head ie shortmeasure.

Nice pub. Good atmosphere. Quite expensive

Very good service and meal .will tell friends and family to go for a meal. Will be going back ourselves. Thanks Phil.

We rehearsed Brassed Off upstairs in this pubs function room which is a great space and everyone was so accommodating. On the pub side, there is a selection of real ales (limited) usual draught beers and a selection of gins. Food is home made and freshly done so piping hot. Bands, singers, pool table and there is a real fire too.

Great xmas dinner, loved it, nice friendly pub

I went with a group of people for a festive lunch that was pre ordered so why it took so long to come out of the kitchen I do not know. The price was a bargain in fairness but still it would have been nice to have it in a timely manner. We waited 30 minutes for our pre ordered starters and once finished a further 30 minutes for the main course so my friend who hadn’t had a starter waited altogether an hour and 20 minutes before she had any food at all. I have to say the turkey dinner was very nice indeed. I’m not sure there is a need for 3 different types of potatoes though, roasties will do as most people like them, no need for the mash and new potatoes, there was a lot of waste. My friend had salmon which she said was horrible but my turkey was lovely. Didn’t have pud.

OK establishment but a bit dated. Pub grub satisfactory.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with family food was very good catering for vegans and meat eaters. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Nice place but drinks are not the cheapest

Warm homely atmosphere, good service nothing too much to ask. A great evening was had, thank you Chesters

Great meals big porshions lovely staff

Lovely menu and food is brilliant. Staff very friendly

Tuesday 6:00pm for a quick light meal gammon, egg chips and peas, and, sausage eggs chips and beans. £6.00 each. Well served and tasty. Friendly staff, highly recommended.

Lovely home cooked food, very delicious, good prices. Friendly helpful staff and nice relaxing atmosphere :)

A very local pub for locals, a bit stuck in the 80s,

Stayed in the area and were recommended this place by the owner of the B and B. The vegetarian choices were varied and very tasty. Baked Camembert, then veggie lasagne with salad and chips! Husband had Brie and beetroot tart with chips and salad. Service was a little slow as pub was very busy. The rhubarb G and T was absolutely delicious! Friendly staff.

Friendly staff, good food. Decent band on on the Saturday night

Went for Sunday lunch and was rewarded with an exceptional meal at a very reasonable price

Good atmosphere friendly staff cheap beer good food.

The food was lovely and the bar staff was very pleasant.

Lovely place to meet for coffee

We went there following a christening. Staff were helpful and efficient and the pub was clean and welcoming.

Beautiful Sunday roast and excellent, quick and friendly service too. The meat was very good as per usual with brilliant trimmings and a lovely pudding.

Excellent customer service from beginning of meal to the end. Staff and regulars very friendly. Food was excellent. Even though very busy the food arrived early. Definitely be returning soon.

Had an 18th party here. Nice local pub

Brilliant service and very welcoming

Very disappointing Sunday lunch experience today. The service throughout was lacklustre and manager was really rude to her staff in front of customers which was completely inappropriate. Food wasn't great, veg overcooked and only one vegetarian option which was greasy and flavourless. I wouldn't recommend.

Can't get enough of the fish and chips

Food was good and generous service but service was slow and they got the bill wrong twice! Would go back but would keep an eye on things!

Went round for Sunday lunch. The meat (lamb) was plentiful and soft and tender except with your eyes shut it could easily have been beef - it simply did not taste of lamb. There was enough veg - in the traditional plain boiled-in-water style which has been acceptable for 100 years so I guess that's ok. Nothing overall to complain about - but not one of us could go home and say we'd had a really tasty lunch.

Lovely venue to say goodbye to my auntie after her funeral. The staff were very helpful.

Chesters is a good old fashioned pub good local beers and entertainment at the weekend I live music well worth a visit.Cheers Phil

It was a reception in the back room. The food was good as was the service. But it was rather cramped, the tables were too big for the room. Once you were sat down against the wall you could not get out without desturbing everyone else.

Nice pub quite expensive though

Always nice to drop in for a few!

Good pub food available in gluten free also

I enjoy having a pint here, easy peasy and reasonable.

Lovely local pub with good food

Ordered haddock chips, mushy peas chips were done very well best ive had in a while haddock battered perfectly great price

Very friendly staff. Good food. What more do you need.

Excellent place to go anytime of day, to drink and relax and they have their £6.00 menu.

Great place usual beers and most importantly a pool table 👍

Lovely Pub. I was staying at a local Bed and Breakfast Hotel (Newark Lodge) and had a superb evening meal here. 5 star treatment. Thank you.

Far to dear ,,pint of larger and a glass of wine £10.20 !!!

Shame the pub was covered in scaffolding and only one real ale on at the time.

Chesters is pretty local to us being only a couple of miles away and so we thought we would give it a go as I didn't fancy any of our usual haunts. It's a pub with letting rooms and a bar food offering with a separate restaurant and is very tastefully decorated in the restaurant area. It was a bit noisy in the main bar area as it's a popular place for all ages and football was showing so we took a two seat table in the side dining area close to the conservatory and we had the place to ourselves for quite a while. Having already checked out their menu online I had decided to try out their 'home made' cottage pie which came with carrots and peas and it is hard to fault it but being the ultra critical diner that I am here are my thoughts on the meal. Oh and by the way if you like a real ale go for the Doombar, it's a cracking pint but a wee bit pricey at £3.60, I guess it would have been cheaper in the bar. It wasn't overly busy in the pub or restaurant but our food took around 25 minutes to arrive, just a wee bit longer than I was comfortable with and it arrived on cold plates. The cottage pie itself was piping hot in an oval ceramic container and was indeed home made but the veggies whilst hot initially soon cooled down very quickly. Now a couple of things were not quite right here, the cottage pie had a cheesy top (which I personally don't mind) but we were not given the option of with or without cheese. The aforementioned cheesy top was very tasty but was also very 'gloopy' it could have done with either a few seconds under a grill or a quick blast with a catering blow torch to (a) give it some colour and (b) to crist it up a wee bit. Minor points I know but relevant none the less. We were offered extra gravy half way through our meal (there was very little gravy in the cottage pie) which we declined but in retrospect should have accepted as it would have helped keep the veggies warm, lol. The young man that served us attentive and knowledgeable and the owners were too and apologised for the time it took to get the food and the cold plates when it was pointed out to them. Would I go back? Yes and fully intend to so that we can try some other dishes on the menu. Did the cons out weigh the pros? No, this is one you need to try if you haven't been before. There is free parking outside the pub and a good sized car part round the back. It has a nice atmosphere and is well decorated with plenty of room between the tables.

Very good pub food good as I have an ally gunter free and do menu you for all and good noise on Saturday night

Wow,went to a wedding reception and what a rip off,I know what the couple paid and if 6 pre bought trays of sandwiches and 5 bowls of frozen chips is the sum off what you get for hundreds of pounds isbpar for course then I'm done with pubs,what a pretentious place this i s with well over priced drinks and will take your eyeballs out at the slightest chance,avoid at all costs,complete rip offs, disgusting pub

This was a great pub with an excellent resturant where you had to book at least 2 days in advance for weekends. We used to eat there quite often and take friends but no more. It had a refurbished function room which was very well used. Was very well patronised last time we went on a Sat night it had certainly gone down hill. What a change since change of management

Good good and range on the menu. Will definitely revisit.

Lovely place and very warm and friendly all ways made welcome

Average food, staff were generally pretty inattentive except for the manager, food took forever to arrive and then for the dishes to be taken away. Not largely impressed and pulsant come back.

Although a little blip with wait time. Management explained and resolved which was more than expected. Some other pubs could learn from this place. Excellent customer service and the food brilliant along with friendly helpful owners.

It looks like only rated chesters one star this was a mistake definitely five star fantastic place did me proud. Thanks.

A nice friendly local pub with excellent food. Recommended.

We were staying at a superb B & B just round the corner and were advised that Chesters did good pub food. We were eating early and at six o'clock it was busy, giving the appearance that it was a regular watering hole for those returning home from work. This is a pub serving good genuine pub food. My wife had scampi and chips which seemed to have a larger portion of scampi as is the norm. I had the steak and Doom Bar pie which came with a puff pastry top and no bottom ( not a pie in my book, but there are long term discussions on this subject) however there were several large chunks of meat contained therein and the lady kindly provided a spoon , when asked, so that I could enjoy the gravy. All this and a pint and a hlf of Doom Bar for £18.00 amazing value.

We visited the Chesters for the first time on mother's day for sunday lunch ,The staff in the bar were welcoming and very helpful, the food was superb!!!! The meat was lean and tender, wonderful selection of vegetables , cooked to perfection ! The food was piping hot , the staff were lovely too , nothing too much trouble , Thank you all we are certainly going back !!!

Good pub, good parking, okay prices, friendly staff. Can get very busy at times.

This was recommended by the guest house, as you also get 10% off - ever so friendly bar person behind the bar, who was obviously new but that didn't give any problems whatsoever. Even though it was 7.30 in the evening they were still serving food and it's made on the spot. Would definitely go again if in the area

Great food great night out best pub in balderton and newark

Had an evening meal here on Saturday night after the owner of our Guest House around the corner recommended the place to us. Nice atmosphere in the pub and thankfully there was a table free. Quick service and the food was delicious. I had scampi and my husband had Steak & Ale pie. Large portions, very tasty food and cheerful service from bar staff, waiter & waitress. Great pub food! Thanks to everyone st Chesters. If we lived here we would definitely make this our local!
