Knot's Bar and Restaurant in Newark and Sherwood

Superb home cooked food at a very reasonable price. Friendly staff. Good informal atmosphere on a rugged old boat. Definitely worth visiting.

Maybe it was a hot day but both the staff members who dealt with us, and I believe one was the owner, had poor customer service skills. Didn't care that their website was down and giving the impression that they had ceased trading. That said the food was certainly value for money and of a decent standard. Just not such a warm welcome.

My family and I visited the knott boat today. We regularly visit and ALWAYS BOOK a table well in advance we never just turn up as it is always busy. We arrived today which was a Sunday lunch visit. We sat down near the bar area as we had arrived early and no one seem to come to us to ask us had we booked a table so I walked over to the bar and said to a waitress we had a table booked and she then told us we hadn't got a table booked.we then asked if we could be fitted in then the manager came to us and said no. Asked us when we had made the booking how long ago as we stated it was a long time ago but was clearly in my diary for today but not in their diary. The manager then said it was only ever her or her colleague who writes bookings for the knott table bookings and as I went on to say y have been incompetent as this booking was done appropriately and correct by them. The manager then shouted at me and told us to leave immediately and I said don't worry we are going wouldn't want to stop there t be insulted. My family who were elderly and walked with sticks and who are partly blind made also to leave the premises absolutely shocking and extremely upset by this attitude lack of customer service... But in the end had a lovely meal else where and we all had a lovely afternoon

The best place to go for your visit to farndon .... great sunday lunches, the best in the village by far .. very professional with a great customer service ..the family were visiting so took them out for sunday dinner .. to say they we're very impressed and pleased is an understatement

After three weeks of high water and bad weather when Knot's were unable to trade, we finally got to sample the updated 2021 Knot's takeaway menu, Toad in the hole. Beautifully prepared, well presented, a very generous portion and delicious. Thank you to the staff for this lovely food and helping to cheer us up during lockdown.

Yet another excellent takeaway from the Christmas menu. Thanks to Knot's for the extra dishes put on for Christmas. We are already trying to decide what to have next week.

Had various meals here from Sunday dinner, pie night, Saturday afternoon sandwich to Friday night fish & chips, curry and burgers and what can I say the food is homemade and all good value !

Fabulous sunday lunch and excellent value for money and great service in a pretty setting. The food is home cooked, I recomend the beef and their soups are always delicious

Just collected our Sunday lunch from the knots restaurant (social distances applied) and it was absolutely delicious lovely and fresh, great value for money, definitely recommend thanks knots.

We really enjoy the experience and the atmosphere. It is great for family’s. What let’s it down is people vaping on the boat. We are a family and I don’t want The child breathing it in. I wish they would ban it like some pubs do, it does put us off going On the boat. Please put a sign up

Another absolutely delicious meal here...beautiful prawn & smoked salmon starter, gorgeous steak cooked to perfection and a delicate creme brûlée to finish!! Never had a bad meal here which is why we go for Sunday Lunch, Fish & Chip Fridays, Steak Saturday’s...we even went for Xmas Lunch 2019! Can’t recommend this place highly enough!!! Ps...see you soon, guys!!!

Had a lovely meal here in this old passenger ferry with a group of friends. A fabulous location moored in the marina. The room is divided by a proper bar with one side being a lounge and the other side being the restaurant although you can eat in the bar. The Knot is a warm and cosy place and its location makes it to isolated for the riff raff. Great for a meal with friends or just for drinks.

Love this place. We have been twice this week. The food is lovely, the staff are friendly and the prices are great. Highly recommend. Sunday dinner is my favourite here!

Amazing food and service. We had a 3 course meal here yesterday and it was brilliant. Could not fault anything about the meal from start to finish. We will 100% be returning many times. The table behind had sandwiches and they looked great with nice thick bread!!

Having visited Knots several times I have to say there is nothing that can be improved here. The food is plentiful and good quality, at very reasonable prices too. Staff are friendly and efficient. Great place, love it.

This place is a little gem ! Went for the first time today with friends & a three course lunch is only £12.00 & it was lovley. Well worth it.

We have been twice now just for a quick drink after a walk. The staff are very friendly and from what we have seen the food looks great. We will definitely be eating here soon. Our daughter loves the fact that its also on a boat. Alot more spacious inside than you would think looking from the outside.

Brilliant food, really nice friendly staff, book don't take a chance they can fit you in, it's soo busy. Thursday pie night brill, Saturday steaks fantastic from local butchers local meats. Sunday lunch, all that's needed is a pillow and Quilt afterwards.

This place had been recommended to my parents but they had not managed previously to get a table due to it being y booked. This time, we managed to book a table for Saturday evening having arrived at Farndon moorings that afternoon.

We had been advised booking was essential - which was true !

I asked in advance if they served vegetarian roast dinner and was told they did. Upon arrival we were greeted with a menu that didn’t have this option. When I queried it the waiter suggested the vegetarian cottage pie. Off to a disappointing start. Not good to be lied to.

I have been numerous times to this lovely venue for Sunday lunch. The roast are alway excellent, with wonderful gravy and Yorkshire puddings. One criticism is that it’s always the same vegetables served ie carrots, cauliflower, and cabbage. It would be far nicer to change the veg around every now and again, as eating the same vegetables does become a bit boring.

We were taken for afternoon G&T;’s by friends who live in the area and thoroughly enjoyed the place. The bar is on a converted barge on the edge of a boatyard. Really quaint and very good decor and seating with reasonable priced drinks. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. They have speciality menu nights such as Fish night on a Friday and Pie night on another night as well as Sunday lunch. Well worth exploring but you need to know where to find it as it is tucked away through a housing estate and you park in the boatyard and walk through a gate at the end to find it! Part of the adventure!!

Christmas Day dinner was perfect. Could not pick a fault in anything. Lovely friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Unhurried but efficient service and 5 course meal was delightful. Generous portion sizes, beautifully presented and most important delicious home cooked food. Reasonably priced too. Thank you.

we went to this restaurant on saturday night Curry night, it was very, very good, its on a boat but no probs, when finished meal was then asked if we wonted to go up again,( the men went up again,?!!!) very great value, but you must book, roll on December for christmas meals, good for wheel chairs

We have eaten here many times never disappointed, food excellent at a good price, Sunday lunch best ever and great value, excellent service,very welcoming whether you are just having drinks or dining, family friendly a must try, we'll done zoe and Richard and the team.

My husband and visited Knots on the recommendation of my stepson. We booked in advance for Sunday lunch and were pleasantly surprised at how much room there was considering we were on a barge. The staff were very friendly and we were given the menu along with drinks to make our choice.

My wife and I and two friends booked Knots Bar on TripAdvisor Reviews and we were not disappointed. The bar area was busy and there was a warm atmosphere. We told the bar staff we had booked and were asked if we would like a drink and take a seat and we would be given menus. We ordered and were shown to our table. The food was hot and well presented. Chips came with all main courses. We had a very pleasant evening and would definitely go again. When we got home a member of staff telephoned us to say after clearing our table we had dropped something and we picked it up the following day. We felt this was over and above their call of duty. I have given a 4 star rating as we felt that the menu could be more varied and not so many chips.

Recently visited the knots for Sunday lunch and I can say it was the best Sunday lunch by far, we only waited a couple of minutes to be taken to our table, our order was taken and the food was on our table in no time, Compliments to the chief, staff was very friendly, the land lady couldn’t do enough for us, we will definitely be booking again nowhere else compares to this place, and a lovely spot by the river with out side tables, great place well done knots

Heard a lot about this place and boy did it live up to its recommendation people very friends I had roast dinner on a sunday and it was exceptional fresh veg home made Yorkshire creamy mash lovely cut of meat all fresh and home made none of that frozen rubbish. I can see why this place is so popular I shall defiantly be returning in the near future

Heard good reviews so took family here for a Sunday lunch.

What an amazing Sunday lunch. Seeing is believing!!! Had a superb pork dinner with a proper Yorkshire pudding that was massive!!! Veg was great as was the succulent meat and delicious crackling. Also being offered extra gravy is a real bonus. So reasonable for a great sized meal.

Zoe did us all proud today, we all enjoyed a 3 course Sunday dinner at a bargain price, as well as large portion's and great service, much recommend!!

Pre booked as this is reccommended, Sat in the bar area and ordered some drinks after informing the bar staff that we had a booking.

Three of us went to Knots Bar and Restaurant on Saturday night for their all you can eat curry, the food was lovely and staff were very pleasant, a great bar will return again.

Being a regular visitor 's to knots bar &restaurant;,what can we say food amazing especially Sunday lunch great value,just had the curry night buffet delicious followed by great live entertainment,friendly staff would definitely recommend .

After parking up and walking down with a pushchair and baby on a sunday Dinnertime we eventually got in the bar area (after having to unlock 4 different bolts on the door to get access) we sat down and waited only to be told by a member of staff that this table is reserved (no reserved sign) so i asked if there were any other tables and was told once this family move you can sit there. Nobody offered is a menu so i went to the bar after 15 minutes to be told they are only serving food to people who had booked! I said we were willing to sit outside there was only 2 of us and the lady just said no. I was struggling to understand why we were not told this when we first walked in!? Why would they just ignore us like that? We were very annoyed. At least have a sign outside or acknoweldge your customers when they arrive! Wont be going back.

First visit to this restaurant on Friday evening, went in a group of six. The barrier to the marina was down so you have to ring restaurant on arrival and they will open barrier for you. Friday was fish night, although they would serve off their normal menu too, great choice. Excellent value for money, portions were huge, food was delicious, staff friendly and welcoming. Can’t wait to go back.

We've had the thursday pie night ... 1st class ... We've had fish friday ...1st class , so just had to do the sunday lunch which was absolutely gorgeous , very good choice of meats and veg and nothing is to much for the kind friendly staff , only a small run operation but run to a very high standard , we have tried the other 3 pubs around the area but are always drawn back to what is now our favorite place to eat and drink and always bring our friends and family aling when visiting us .. thoroughly recommend it to everyone , you wont be disappointed

Four of us went for lunch today for the first time to check out our 2 monthly get together of 11 people we were a bit late being shown to our table at 1.30 but that did not matter We had a lovely meal and we then tried to book for 11 people in 7 weeks time at 1pm when they brought the diary I could see that there were no bookings on that date the lady said if we could pre order that would be okay and would bring us some menus we said we could but then they said we could only book for 12.00 or 3.30pm as it disrupts the flow very disappointed as there was a table of 9 sat next to us. phoned later to try and understand what they were saying as .4 of us did not and 2 friends who came in for a drink did not either lady on the phone was very abrupt and put the phone down on me which really upset me as would love to go back again all in all not good customer relations

Can't believe we haven't been here ..what a find..came on a recommendation from a mate....have rung several times only to find no tables available...rang at 11am this morning to find a cancellation...table for two at two.....fabulaars Sunday lunch.....home cooked food ...brilliant location ..staff welcoming...finished off by a walk around the marina xxxx like the great Arnie says....we WILL be back x

Reasonably priced food, and good quality ingredients. We visited last Saturday night, 2 fillet steaks and 2 Ribeye's with homecooked chips, onion rings and a great peppercorn sauce. Highly Recommended.

Once again we've had a delicious Sunday roast, in a fabulous riverside setting, with great service & hospitality. Absolutely nothing to improve on. Owners Zoe & Richard have got it completely nailed!

Comimos en nudos con regularidad, así que reservamos una mesa para 5 de nosotros para comer el domingo, fue excelente, nuestros amigos estaban muy impresionados. La comida es muy buena, la más grande jamás! Los budines yorkshire Buenas porciones y comida casera. El personal es muy amable y servicial y el servicio es bueno, todo en un entorno maravilloso en un antiguo ferry por el Río Trent, perfecto!

Recently moved to farnden and heard so much about this place so we thought we'd give it ago and so pleased we did , we only had drinks but the staff are friendly and pleasant , sat outside watching the boats and the world go by in a stunning location, we were told uts highly recommend you book in advance to save disappointment, we shall be returning Thursday for our 1st meal but what we saw being dished out on sunday i dont think we will be disappointed and very much looking forwad to spending loads more time here

Visité hace dos semanas poco de improviso de la reserva y un momento pocas personas habían recomendado. El servicio era un poco lento, pero creo que el personal es relajado. El personal era amable y acogedor, y tuvimos tres campo de comer el domingo. La comida era estupenda y sabrosa con casera.

Sólo tenía uno de los mejores almuerzos de domingo. Con una selección de carne de res, cerdo o pavo. La carne era abundante y delicioso. Mi marido tenía el cerdo que venía con chispeante opcional, adecuada y salsa de manzana. Yorkshire los budines caseros y enorme, todas las verduras y la salsa perfectamente preparado con carne y salsa de cómo debería ser. Todo el personal era agradable y eficiente.

Our friends have moved to Newark and have taken us to the Knots bar/ restaurant 3 times now, we have enjoyed it every time, It's a floating barge so something different, what we really enjoy is there Sunday roast dinners, they do it as a two course or 3. Last time we went April 16 2017 there was 15 of us and no one was disappointed, food was hot and good size portions and staff helpful & friendly

Sunday lunch was brilliant and great value for money. Highly recommended and definitely booking again !!!!

We along with son and daughter-in-law and two grandsons went to the Knot restaurant for Sunday lunch on a recommendation from friends, and where not disappointed the boys where excited about having dinner on a boat We where met on arrival with a big welcome we sat down and had drinks and waited for our table.We where given a menu and we ordered our meals and when called went to our table. The food served was of a very high standard and good sized portions even for the kids meals, the service was good and we had a very nice experience will go again.

I was invited for Sunday dinner and, as I had never been before, I thought, "why not?". So pleased that I did! The food is top class and all home made. I have never tasted Yorkshire pudding quite like it! The portions are very good and at a very good price. You really must try this venue, you will be back!!!

We weren't able to get a table at the Boathouse so decided to try Knots.We are so pleased that we did.It is very easy to find just follow the signs to Farndon marina and park in the car park. The welcome was warm and friendly and drinks were served as we waited for our son and his family.On their arrival a high chair was waiting for our granddaughter.The menu is not extensive but enough to suit most appetites.My soup was delicious and obviously home made and plenty of it.The same with the homemade pies which got the thumbs up and came with plenty of good gravy.The bill was very reasonable especially as the portions are large.In fact not all of us could manage to finish our meals,a shame as I really wanted to finish the excellent chips.We would definitely recommend it.

A beautiful setting in Farndon Marina, the barge is moored just by the bridge over the entrance to the marina.A pleasant bar and drinks area with plenty of seating at the front and a quaint restaurant to the stern. A limited choice menu but the quality of each meal I have enjoyed at Knot's has been excellent. I repeat fish Friday is a must do. All the staff are so pleasant.

Very relaxed atmosphere, great food with lovely big portions. I had the fish pie which was delicious. Chips are amazing too! For three of us plus two drinks each the value for money was great. We just wish the Friday pub quiz was on more, every time we go and bring friends along for the quiz its been cancelled. Overall, a lovely gem of a pub/restaurant. No pretentiousness (like the Boathouse), great staff and service is professional and friendly.

I have been meaning to give Knots a try for ages, but never got round to it. I'm not sure why its taken so long, but suffice to say, its been a mistake and I should have got on and given it a go.On a sunny evening recently we ventured along on Fish Night. We parked in the car park opposite the Riverside in Farndon and walked through the Farndon Boathouse car park and along the river bank to get there. Its a lovely spot here and particularly nice on a summers evening. You can walk all the way from Newark by the side of the river to Knots if you fancy a longer walk.Knots is a afloat in the marina but rock steady when you get onboard. Its clean, tidy and the welcoming staff make you feel at home straight away.Theres a cosy seating area as you enter in the bar area and the restaurant beyond this. The fish night is an absolute bargain, around £6. we tried the fish pie and the cod, both of which were beautifully done. great taste and really good sized portions.There a good selection of starters priced up to £5 and mains ranging from £8 to £13. The sweets are around £4, delicious and great value.In a nutshell what you get here is a pleasant evening by the river, good service from staff who genuinely want you to have a nice time, good food, good portions and a small bill.I will definitely be going again soon, more than likely for the pie night. Having recently paid around £12 for a recent bad pie experience just down the road, I'm eager to put Knots to the test for their £8.95 pie and pint bargain. I think i'm not going to be disappointed.Don't come here for a big wine list, fine dining and a bill that goes with it. Come here for a down to earth, damn good value evening.Apparently you can come into the marina car park and when you come to leave, ring them on a number they give you and they'll raise the car park barrier for you.

Home cooked food at a reasonable price. Fish and chips are really good value. so is the San Miguel! Overlooking Farndon Marina.

We ate here on 2nd June for pie night, one of my husband's favourite foods. We both had steak & kidney pie. It was crammed full with kidney, and lots of tender tasty steak, with gravy. Home made chips which were superb, and mushy peas. I had treacle sponge & custard for dessert and my husband had chocolate fondant with ice cream. We both thoroughly enjoyed our desserts. The service was excellent, the staff were really friendly and helpful. We have eaten here before on a Friday fish night which was also superb. Brilliant place and good honest well cooked food.

Thursday night is pie & the pie was very nice we had the steak & kidney also they do chicken & leek & sausage & black pudding & all at a good price

Fantastic Sunday lunch with 3 meats cooked to perfection. Lovely homemade Yorkshire Puds and proper gravy made with meat juice not the powdered rubbish. Desserts were equally as good. Staff friendly and welcoming and lovely location on a sunny day.

Situated at Farndon marina, which is a nice location, although inside the restaurant, which is an old boat, the views are restricted due to small windows that needed a good wash!. Friendly helpful staff. Food quite good (although serving excellent home made chips with fish pie, which is topped with mashed potato is not a great idea. Feels rather oppressive and airless inside and a bit claustrophobic.

It seems strange to be reviewing the same place three times, but in this instance it's well worth the effort. As I have mentioned in my previous reviews here, a small group of us make our way to Sheffield every year for the Snooker. We have tried various eateries over the years to break up the journey, but this is the only one that gets us excited year after year.Visited on Sunday 25th April. Once again, same great food, same great service and same great value. Really no more to add, but genuinely looking forward to our return in 2017. See you next year!

Visited for Sunday lunch with friends, great traditional roasts served steaming hot with perfectly cooked veg at a very reasonable price, will be back thanks

We visited Knots on a saturday night. they had a full menu but it was steak night. I had a lovely steak, cooked to perfection and the chips were proper (and they were brown just as a good chip should be) the restaurant area is kooky as the boat is on a list but it just adds to the charm! It has a lovely warm ambience.

Went on the spur of the moment and fortunately got a table (suggest you book as its popular).Great Sunday lunch, choice of roasts or salmon. We had the pork came steaming hot with fresh hot veg no complaints at all. Great value for money either 1,2 or 3 courses, will return.

I have been about 5 times to knots and finally want to share the experience. The boat is small but we'll furnished to what it offers. The food is outstanding, as it's a boat I can only admire what they offer as their kitchen can not be that large. I have never been let down with the food. The staff are really friendly and I love the atmosphere onboard. Just been for our staff party and once again the food was delicious. The prices are so reasonable also.

Great setting for a spot of Sunday lunch. We had a short wait for our table during which time we had a drink at the bar. A nice drop of local ale and plenty of other choices. A few options for starters and pudding but the intention of going to Knot's was for the roast. We had a choice of turkey, beef or pork. Between the six of us we sampled the beef and pork and would recommend either. Lots of crackling for those who like it and a good serving of veg to go with it. Parking was very close by in the marina car park and so although this is an out of the way spot it is easy enough to get to by car. Worth a visit in my book.

Called in on chance and waited 30 minutes for a able for four. The service and menu were excellent and the price of just over £20 pp was very reasonable. Wouldn't hesitate to return

My nephew wedding reception was held there & the food was very very good they even did a little spread for the children.Then the main one buffet out & there was every thing & if one thing ran out it was replace by the same with in minutes it was a excellent spread

Brilliant good service food excellent man size portions make sure your Hungary lovely friendly waitress

Have been going to The Knot for a while and evrey visit is is never a disappointment. Have done Sunday Lunch, Pie Night, Fish & Chip Friday and this week my Fiancee and I did the Steak Night. Once again it was fantastic. £9.99 for a 12oz steak and Chips then any side order for £1 extra per item.So peas and Onion Rings was my extra and Pepper Sauce Onion Rings and Salad for my Fiancee. It was like feeding a family with size of the portions instead of two of us. The steak was done precisely as I'd asked for it and the most tender of meat. I call this my "secret " place but can't help spreading the word. Once again fantastic night out with gorgeous food.

Knots is a great place to eat and drink. Great atmosphere. Great food. Great value. Friendly staff and picturesque setting aboard an old Norwegian ferry.

Absolutely superb great food and great staff atmosphere is great treated really well couldn't recommend enough

Nice place. ...its a boat in Farndon marina. ...above average pub food. ..and huge portions. ....We could have shared a main course. ....looking forward to visiting again in the summer.

Called in for Sunday lunch but to our disappointment they were very busy and fully booked. Had a drink and while we were at the bar a lady approached and asked if we minded sitting in the bar area to dine. The food was excellent and very good value for money. Even though it was extremely busy the customer service was fantastic and we were made to feel very welcome. Well worth a visit.

Reviewed this place a year ago and had to do it again!Every year a group of us make the pilgrimage from Norfolk to Sheffield for the Snooker. We do enjoy a good feast on the way and found Knot's last year. We all voted unanimously that we had to go again this year, and we weren't disappointed. Nothing really to add to last year's review, just wanted to reiterate excellent service, excellent food, excellent ambiance and once again, amazing value... even with a generous tip! Roll on Sheffield 2016!

Great value for money great staff very helpful nothing too much trouble well worth going owned by people who value their customers

We went yesterday as a group of 8 for Sunday dinner yesterday. It was a real surprise .... Lovely big serving of a proper homemade Sunday dinner. Loads of fresh veg and meat and cracking value for money! Will be going again with out a doubt .

Visited for famous fish special for £5. Husband and I both had fish in beer batter, chips and mushy peas. All cooked to perfection, beer batter crisp and light, chips hand cooked, tasty and non greasy and peas great too. Prompt, polite service and steaming hot and beautifully presented. Real good value for money and tasty too. We will definitely be visiting again.

Went for lunch here Easter Sunday and had three courses for £10.95 which is amazing value. Everything cooked fresh the food was delicious. A slab of crackling and Yorkshire pudding as big as your hat! Proper gravy and veg that was cooked the way it should be not hard or soft and squidgy but just right, the way goldilocks likes it!Staff lovely, venue a bit of a novelty, I could go on but I think you get the picture.. Highly recommended. This is the thing though, you need this piece of info, to get there you follow the signs to Farndon Marina and on arrival you will find an automatic barrier, don't be put off by this, you just wait 10 seconds and the barrier lifts, drive in and park your car. Look to the top of the car park for the Knots Bar sign. You may think this is elementary but I do know people who have turned around at the barrier thinking they weren't allowed in the marina.Knots has a straight forward little website with other menus and opening times.Have Fun!

Won a voucher for Knots at the Sam White Legacy Dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it! The food was freshly cooked to order and was delicious! Portion size was substantial! The lady serving behind the bar was very friendly. We will be returning! Thanks for donating the voucher to the Legacy!

we just had a fantastic meal at the knots, being a sunday it was a roast meal choice of 3 meats stack loads of veg, gravy and all the trimmings. i can't say a bad word aginst anything i ate there, it was local;y sourced food, all piping hot, and service was spectacular!!i really want to eat here again so i may try the fish and chip evening. all i can say is go to this boat and try it out you will not be dissapointed, i reccommend this place to you all. another thing is the beer was really nice to, better than my expectations.

Just had a lovely family meal on this cosy boat restaurant. Sunday roast offered a choice of three meats with roast potatoes, Yorkshire Pudding and fresh veg. Children of all ages are welcome. Very friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. We had 5 dinners and three puddings all for £46! Very highly recommended.

Our friends took us here last Friday, it was a restaurant with a difference, a boat. I had Fish and Chips as did my friend Jenny but Tony and Barry had Moby Dick Fish and Chips, boy was that huge, all meals cooked to perfection and service with a smileThe boys had clean plates, but no room for a sweet. Jenny and I had ice cream with Baileys, mmm, delicious.It was a great meal and enjoyed by all, would truly go again.

had to stay at the marina for urgent boat repairs..... ate at the Knots twice and the previous reviews say it all ... only sorry that the repairs were done and we had to move on so quickly....

Second time at Knot's for us and both have delivered a good experience. The Friday specials are very good value for money and the overall menu is creative. Not very often you get a Beef Stifado on a menu outside of a Greek restaurant.The boat is a bit tucked away but it's worth finding. Don't be tempted to nip into the other places close by, a great meal and great service is waiting for you at Knot's.

Visited with two friends, we all had 3 courses and a total of 9 drinks and wow this was real value for money. I do think though that it's more like a pub than a restaurant. All courses we hot and tasty but I personally found the chips to be a little soggy but loved everything else. The only fault was the young waitress, who apparently had a tooth ache, but her serving skills and manner was much to be desired, and for this reason we are not sure we would return, however we found the lady bar tender and young man also serving very friendly. So if you want a lovely setting, hot pub food then this is perfect.

There's only one thing I can say about knots ,and that's just absolutely fabulous,the Sunday lunch it the best I Personally I have ever eaten .I have been in this area three weeks and have been in four times in this restaurant. And all the staff are Fantastic to. Looking forward to my next visit . Cheers phil

Me and my partner took my mom to knots for her birthday, the food was delicious and the service was great,very friendly and welcoming. The food portions are big which is excellent for me as I have a big appetite!!!! And very good value for money I would strongly recommend and will be returning in the future

Friday nite is fish n chip nite! £5! Absolute bargain. Beautifully cooked fish and great hand cut chips and mushy peas! Nice atmosphere! Would go again!

Knots bar is nestled on the bank of the River Trent, in the entrance to Farndon Marina and we initially thought it was purely a club house for the boating community and as 'visitors' we would feel uncomfortable and not part of the gang. We couldn't have been more wrong! Richard and Zoe are excellent hosts and are determined that everyone should feel welcome and valued. Knots sits just yards away from two very well-established restaurants and we felt a little uncertain about what eating at Knots would be like, having always enjoyed the other two eateries. We were more than pleasantly surprised. We ate on a Friday evening, having arrived at the marina quite late, after a long hard week at work. We were ravenous! It was 'Fish Friday' and in addition to the a la carte menu, we could choose from a number of fish options for £5. We chose fish and chips ...... and they were literally stunning! We couldn't fault them in any way, cooked to perfection, crisp, greaseless batter, firm white fish, piping hot mushy peas. Absolutely delicious. We say some desserts being served to another table and they looked divine, so we indulged in the chocolate fondant and cheesecake! Again, both were simply stunning! The service is excellent too. This is a very friendly, welcoming environment to enjoy both a drink and a meal. There are a number of special events that keep it alive and interesting, like live music on the last Saturday of every month (this was excellent too!) I'm sure we will enjoy many more meals and great evenings at Knots.

Dropped on it after looking for another restaurant in the area and we are glad we did, the location is amazing and it's a boat. The food was very nice and fresh and they have real ale. We are going to make it a regular thing, yummy.

Richard and Zoe are perfect hosts, they provide first class food drinks and hospitality. This bar is family friendly nicely run establishment and we would throughly recommend them to all boaters and families.Thank you guys for top service

Was a bit dubious about this place from the outside, but don't be put off. Went here for Sunday lunch... service was prompt and courteous, food was excellent and the price defies belief... less than £33 for 3 x three course Sunday lunches?! Can't wait to go again.

Just got home from having Sunday lunch, we booked as we didn't want to risk turning up and it being busy, good job we did it was really busy and you can see why once you've had your meal. We had never been before so we didn't know what to expect, there have been many times when you read good reports then you are well and truly disappointed, on this occasion lets say 'impressed' is an understatement. I only managed two course but my partner managed the three, it friendly, great value for money and well worth the visit but do book otherwise you could be disappointed, we definitely will be returning, make sure you check the opening times too. Well done knots!

We ate here (Sunday 20 April) as part of a large group from Lincoln Boat Club who were staying at the nearby marina.We had initially booked a two course roast (starter) with the option of having a pudding for an extra £1 (yes really - a quid) There were a variety of starters on offer: soup, breaded mushrooms, prawn cocktail, melon & berries, all of which were pronounced as "good" Then the roasts came out with the choice being pork, turkey or beef. All of these came out with huge & obviously home made Yorkshires (no Aunt Bessies here) and a great and plentiful selection of vegetables. My husband said that the gravy was absolutely delicious!We all decided to have a pudding and again there were several to choose from. My husband had the Belgian Waffles with toffee sauce and ice cream and I choose the homemade rhubarb crumble. Homemade it certainly was and it was sublimely good. I gather from those around me that other puddings (cheesecake and choc fudge cake) were also delicious.All in all, a lovely meal in pleasant surroundings. If I had one criticism, I would say that the meal did take a little long to serve, even allowing for the food to be freshly cooked (as opposed to microwaved as it is at some restaurants). However, I won't allow this to detract from my 5 star marking as they were busy and there were approximately 15 of us!We would definitely come back here!!

We were referred to Knots by friends who recommended the Sunday Lunch - Wow! what a corker. Soup to start (which was lovely) but followed by an immense feast of meat and vegetables. I had Beef and my girlfriend had Pork - both excellent. Washed down with a pint of local ale for me and glass of wine for the other half. Couldnt manage what looked like delicious desserts due to the genorosity of the main course. Great location by the river - which helps walk off the huge portions. The bill was a pleasant surprise too! - will definately be revisiting maybe for the Pie Night or their other themed evenings.

Food is wonderful and they make you feel very welcome, can't help but go back. Great night in a Friday with a pub quiz

I had the soup to start, was very nice, I would love the recipe! Lovely staff as well, made us all feel very welcome!:) should give this restaurant a try!
