Lord Ted in Newark and Sherwood

The manager kindly reserved an area of the Lord Ted Carvery at Newark for a get together and meal after a funeral,a sad occasion but we were very well looked after as it also coincided with half term school holiday,so was very busy,but not a problem for the kind staff,Thankyou so much to all the staff,the chef as the carvery was excellent,a lovely hot meal for us all,Thankyou so much you were very kind.

You need to remember your number plate and make sure you type it in when you go there or you will get a 50 quid fine

Had a lovely meal, was very busy but all the staff were very welcoming especially the bar staff Lisa & Katie.

Lisa was amazing serving at the bar

Monday night, bonus outing. New salad was great.

Lisa served us late just before the last food orders and she was fantastic. Would highly recommend this place and Lisa was the perfect host .

Good honest establishment. You won't go wrong here. Plenty of choice for all. Friendly to all.

The ice cream was not cold but the carvery was and you don't do Stella any more

Lovely meal, Carvery was delicious. Service was good. No complaints 👌

Lovely pub. We visit weekly and always greeted with smiles and with excellent service. Food is always good and when ever there is an issue it’s sorted instantly. Huge thanks to Lisa who always goes there extra mile to take care of us all.

Love this place always nice food and good atmosphere

I asked for a pint of real Ale at the bar. It was room temperature. I told the lady behind the bar that it was not cellar temperature. Her response , without a word of apology was; 'Well I have just been in the cellar and it's 13 degrees'. I replied that that's hardly relevant, and doesn't alter the fact that this beer is room temperature not cellar temperature. The next response was 'what else would you like instead? ... the beer was replaced , tersely but ok , and the the lady concluded by saying to me; 'No one else has complained' . I think this stock reply is pretty irritating. I then wondered why a first complaint about something would be ignored.

Brilliant atmosphere great staff and delicious pub food 😁

Nice place. Lots of parking. Lovely food. Good service. Highly recommend

Love coming here for the carvery, staff are so polite. Food is brilliant!

nice restaurant with good atmosphere. Gravy is very delicious and big portion. Sufficient car parking spaces.

I visited the pub regularly Lisa was awesome the food was great and the atmosphere is always friend

Lovely atmosphere, even with it being busy. it wasn't noisy and the service was quick and very easy thanks to the Greene king app. Free parking is also nice

Came for food with friends and I was served by Nat who is the best. Will definitely come back

Good service but it was the end of the day for the carvery. Only gammon available.

Had lunch here Food was gorgeous Thank you

Carvery excellent ....friendly staff...

The staff make you feel so welcome 😁, Food and drink always spot on, prices brilliant, We don't need to go anywhere else in Newark, The lord ted is the best place to be, That's why we have been going there for many years, since it first opened , The green king sports app is brilliant, Thank you green king for the lord ted.

Fantastic place to eat and drink, we go regularly and enjoy the food and polite service. Lisa is especially welcoming

One of very few places in Newark where a carvery is available

First time visit. It was a sunny day and very busy but found a table outside without too kuch problem. As it was busy it was a long wait to be served at the bar and buy our 'tokens' for the carvery, but again it was the first warm weekend of the year so no problem. The food... All meats were massively overcooked and dry. Veg looked great but tasted of nothing and very bland. We really wouldn't bother with the carvery again and left disappointed.

Very good very nice 👌 😊 Hannah was amazing

Been today Decided to have something off the Menu, Normally have the Carvery, but Wow equally brilliant. My Parents had Sirloin Steak, I had the Steak & Ale Pie with Mash. Absolutely Wonderful. All the Staff were absolutely Professional and Friendly. Very Highly Recommend. 😍

Lisa’s service is always outstanding. And all the team too :)

Decided to take my family out dinner the mother choose the ted greeted by hannah I think and shown to a table served at the bar by dom .mum said she had a lovely carvery by the young good looking guy her words lol . Our starter and mains were awesome nd the trio cheese cake bar finished me off

First time visit, booking a table is a must as it gets very busy, but the young lady did manage to find a table with room for a wheelchair. Good menu choices as well as carvery with fresh vegetables that don't look dried out. Friendly helpful staff.

A busy local pub in Newark with an excellent carvery and a good selection of beers and wine. Ample parking available for customers.

We travel 30 miles for there Calvery because it is the best one we have tried ..but recently not to impressed last time we visited there was no condiments ready we was told to sit down and wait by the women behind the Calvery who always seems a bit abrupt...by the time they bought the cranberry and mint sauce out we had already eaten our meal so it didn't go cold ..hope this review helps as we do like the food

A hassle free Sunday lunch time carvery - this might not have been the case if a local friend didn’t tell us to use the machine to log our car registration. Maybe front of house should remind all customers. That aside, and ignoring the moody bar lady, the food was great, a nice atmosphere with screens for football and a nice little play area outside for the kids. How busy it is speaks volumes. Enjoy!

Won't be going again. Table booked for 2.30 finally got seated at 3.10. One lady staff member was very rude and impatient.

I often visit on a Sunday for a delicious carvery,my family come to visit and rather than cook, we will visit Lord Ted. The service and food is excellent. Special mention goes out to Chris and the team who arranged with my daughter a surprise visit and organised the seating without ruining the surprise. Thankyou we had the best time!!!!

The lord Ted, is a great pub restaurant, me and my family love the food its really hot and tasty. Great service with friendly atmosphere always busy.

I met my Mum here for some food, Ordered online at table and they bought the food and my Mum's drink (Not my drink,I had ordered a coffee) I finished my food and still no coffee, and I was thinking "do we have to get it ourselves" so I went and asked to staff and they went no if you've ordered it will bring it, So I sat there for about another 10 to 15 minutes and still no coffee and then my Mum went and ask again. The girl who finally brought my coffee over said I have given you a refund for the coffee for the mess up. And I'm yet to receive this refund ! The food wasn't very good at all, My southern fried chicken kebab thing was very overdone, the corn on the cob is just watery as anything, I tried some of my mum's chicken breast and it was very dry. I don't think I'll be returning to this place.

Only stopped in for a drink. Service is always pretty quick and the prices are reasonable. Inside can be busy at times with people eating but never really had an issue finding a table. Lots of outdoor space (for the sunnier days)

Lisa and lisa,went above and beyond to take our order ,great customer service very helpful and friendly .service with a smile made our evening very enjoyable perfect meal too Thank you ladies

Carvery was awful all veg was over cooked mush . The kids burgers even dog outside wouldnt eat chips were ok .

Amazing place, I highly recommend to everyone, with children or even without children to come this family friendly pub. Xx

Excellent space, very clean, very impeccable staff, excellent food.

Update since last review: we went to collect Too Good to Go bag. Once reached the turn to pubs car park our way was blocked by angry nasty woman who turned out to be an employee of this place. despite clearly blocking entry to the car park by stopping her can in the middle of road she insisted we should reverse our car all the way to farndon road. She abandoned her vehicle with engine on and went back to pub to request assist and managers assistance in proving us how she’s wrong but we should think she’s right lol. Manager was very abrupt, been knocking on our car windows, gesticulating like a possess person until realised his nasty member of staff was in the wrong. Haven’t heard word of apology, instead he’s run away back to restaurant after convincing his employee to correct her vehicle position on the road and stop causing obstruction to car park entry. Faulty towers of gastronomy this place is. ___________________________________________ The food used to be much better here. Since the bar staff changed, the quality has declined. A friendly and professional staff member was replaced by someone who doesn’t acknowledge customers and instead complains about her job. If she dislikes it here, she should consider leaving. I used to visit regularly for both food and "Too Good To Go" bags, but now, since those picking up the bags are treated poorly, I avoid it. Orders are frequently canceled even when food is available, leading to unnecessary waste.

Fantastic pub nice atmosphere, carvery is fantastic and always plenty to choose from. I would recommend to friends and family been around 10 times now and not had a bad experience yet.

We pre-booked a table. Were seated straight away. Great service. Great value. Got a drink and a meal each. The carvery was splendid. 10/10. Definitely be coming back again.

Great value for money, and the staff are really lovely. Try the passion fruit cooler, super refreshing 😋

Was ok...staff very helpful...food and beer hit the spot...would absolutely recommend...👍👍👍

Food of the menu is not very good at all. Generally over cooked and dry. If you have to eat here get the Carvery it is amazing value and very nicely cooked. Just avoid the main menu stuff its a waste of good money

Lord Ted's is a great meet up place (halfway point) for our family. I travel 70 mins from South Yorkshire my Brother family travel from Lincolnshire. I always ask for a veggie Carvery meal. The pie is nice and the others who eat meat seem to like the look of it too. My brother always asks for a.bit of my pie despite having meat for his carvery.. It makes me wonder if a pie with meat in would be an asset for the carvery for those that wanted. It. I drank fruits cider which is vegan friendly and tastes good. Your staff were personable. I especially liked the bar man's freindly attitude and helpful nature. It was a day when the car park was flooded apparently the basement had been flooded too. The professional attitude during this disruption was excellent. My great Nephew Harvey was asleepin his pram when his meal was delivered. My niece asked if his meal could be kept in the kitchen until he was awake. There was no problem with this. When he woke the staff member was asked to fetch Harvey's meal. The staff member came back. With a freshly made meal., apologising and saying we made you a new meal as.the other had gone cold. We appreciated. This kind action Thank you 😊

We had Christmas dinner here with the family, with quite a few dietary needs in the family, all dealt with extremely well. Lovely menu choice in a beautiful festive setting, next to the Christmas tree. We had table service, nothing was too much trouble, family friendly atmosphere, staff pleasant.

Lovely atmosphere really enjoyed my Cavery very helpful staff manger Nate really helpful

Horrible evening because of the weather, had a lovely open fire and really good food for table of seven and reasonably priced Mixture of carvery and other meals

Popped in for Lunch, we both had carvery, it was lovely and hot.

I had a breakdown with my car this evening and the recovery vehicle brought me to the pub car park hoping I could use the EVYVE charging stations but both had had their charging cables cut and removed- this was at 9pm and I was left by the recovery vehicle having to arrange a separate collection. I went to the pub and bought a cup of tea as was frozen- was served by Lisa who said I could stay until closing time and brought me another cup of tea for free. Also helped me with the parking situation to ensure I did not receive a PCN. She was very friendly and helpful making a difficult situation that little bit better. Was very much appreciated- thank you.

I was stuck in an awful amount of traffic after taking my dog for a long walk just outside of Newark and thought I’d stop off at the lord ted, and came to find they now allow dogs inside! Staff all great and my dog loved the attention!

Friendly staff who sorted an issue with the free drink vouchers. Great choice of tasty food and reasonable prices. Great experience

Veggies beware, they have beef dripping veg next to the veggie ones so people obviously use the same tongs, rude staff serving food too , especially the woman carving meat. Bar staff great though

Always great value for money, tasty self service buffet.

Vegetarians beware, sarcastic staff think that putting beef dripping potatoes and parsnips right next to vegetarian ones is fine because when the dripping ones run out they believe noone will just grab one from next pot to it with the same tongs. Be realistic,, and the woman carving today along with the man on veg have an dreadful attitude to customers, i don't appreciate the way tgey spoke to customers, I feel they think they are LORD TED!! Have come across the woman before and she seriously needs retraining in customer service and sort your veg out for the veggies, it's not fair on them as I guarantee the vegetables have beef dripping on them from the way they are presented

Our visit was for 18 people (my family who gather for Christmas and new year ) The booking was for 2.30 however I called earlier to see if I can bring the booking a bit earlier due to family having to travel home. Firstly the gentleman who took my call was so professional (he didn’t promise he could change the time however said if we arrived he would see if he could accommodate) When we arrived he had managed to have our table ready let me add not just a table for 4 but 18 us…... So big shout out to him (I wish I had his name ) Service was excellent and carvery as always second to none. A great way to end our Christmas celebrations Thankyou Happy new year to the whole team LORD TED…..keep doing what you are doing!!!!

Nice pub with good parking and nice food not over priced

The reason for my score is that we were expecting my granddaughter to see Santa and be given a present after talking to him like last year. It had very little atmosphere and unfortunately Santa had a BO problem - not good. Completely different from last year!! The food as always was excellent and service exemplary as we have come to expect and always receive from Lord Ted staff, nothing is too much trouble for them. Look forward to seeing you in the New Year.

The Best Carvery me and my husband have ever tasted. Absolutely superb, you won't be disappointed.

Been here a couple of times now. Friendly service, tasty food and cold beers. 🍺

We booked a table for our works team Christmas party. We wanted carvery, but were told no because we didn't pre book it. No one advised us of this when we booked. So I ordered a steak. It was so tough I could have soled my shoes with it. I don't recommend this pub at all.

Carvery nice but not much meat. Always full and lively in here nice big carpark which you need to put your registration number in to avoid a ticket

Carvery is lovely. Beer good but most of all love the 3 fires and the building itself.

Great pub good food very attentive staff highly recommend

Very good carvery, hot & well cooked

The carvery was really nice food. I highly recommend this pub/restaurant.

Myself and 2 friends ate there on Thursday 21st November had a carvery and as the young lady was carving the beef and removed some gristle , I happened to say my dog would have loved that, a bit later same said lady turned up at our table and offered me a doggy bag with off cuts, then as we left we realised it was registration parking and I hadn't signed in and on that note one of the bar staff took my details and said that there would not be a problem SUCH HELPFUL STAFF AT YOUR PUB AGAIN THANKS

Popped in en route home for a quick bite

Very nice indeed. Excellent Carvery. Will definitely go again.

Although it was extremely busy the service as excellent as was the food. A couple of people had used their fingers taking the stuffing off the spoon before our turn at carvery asked one of the chefs if he could change due to hygiene levels and not acceptable for any human to feel the need to use fingers. They could have quite easily asked for a spoon to take excess off. Chef changed it straight away. Staff have always been attentive whenever we visit. Cannot fault.

Excellent carvery Sunday Dinner. All meat is cooked to a succulent taste and vegetables are firm and tasty. Great value for money

Best and friendliest pub in newark

Chicken strips are pretty gross

First off we were the most awkward customers! 2 separate bookings 45 minutes apart but wanted to sit together 🙈🙄. We were greeted by Nathan at the door that went above and beyond to meet our awkward request and made it happen with no fuss at all and he even made sure we could watch the football changing the channel over for us. The rest of the experience whilst there continued to impress the food was brilliant the staff were all friendly. Joe on the carvery was fantastic with assisting the kids get their food. I highly recommend people give it a try 10/10

Visited 7th November. Excellent meal. Wonderful variety of vegetables, meat was tender and carved by a very pleasant young man.

Nice food and friendly service 😋

Lovely staff, nice restaurant and delicious food.

Absolutely Delicious! The carvery had fresh meat and a very pleasant, helpful and professional carver. The side dishes were fresh, hot, plentiful and a very wide variety. The restaurant was very clean with a great staff. Highly recommended.

Carvery lunch very good meat was great

Another lovely meal yet again Went for my hubbys 60th birthday Staff are lovely and food never disapoints 😊 atmosphere is always good and food also never had s bad meal yet

Excellent food and service yet again time we've been will definitely be returning

The carvery was well presented and was really enjoyed & 3 all day breakfast was very tasty Very friendly staff with great service

The pie and mash peas gravy was absolutely delicious, nice sized fish chips, peas, service with a smile 😊 even more so come and asked us if everything was ok 👍

Always a good meal and great staff

Nice food, waitress April was friendly and helpful

Good atmosphere, friendly staff, decent food at a good price. Great value

Sunday Carvery....a must have! Carver was friendly and polite.

April the waitress was so helpful and really made the experience. Thankyou April

The food, what you get is very, very good.

Great carvery, go twice a week

Like this Pub & Carvery been various times love the atmosphere. Service is always great especially the waitresses service. The food is okay but this time wasn't up to it usual standard, hasn't put me off will visit again.

Young girl that served us had attitude. Meal clearly says horse radish served with meal. When husband asked for this he got a tut and a sigh, 5 mins waiting so food going cold, brought it to table with a bang on top and just walked away. Not like they were rushed off their feet we went early before Sunday lunch rush. When asked by another girl if food etc was alright, said well not really, nearly asked for a grinder as husband couldn't cut through the Yorkshire pudding, covered myself with napkins as expected his meal going everywhere trying to cut through them. Shame really, used to go every week. Won't bother again.

Nice pub. worth a visit. When I visited the pub was full and lots of people were enjoying their meal. I personally didn't eat, but the food I ate looked amazing.

First visit here after hearing good things about it on FB & it certainly didn’t disappoint, we had the carvery on offer at £7 it was absolutely faultless, the meat veg all beautiful friendly staff made us feel welcome. Only 25 minutes from our home we will definitely be going again

Great pub, great staff and amazing food! Very busy but the staff are always on point! Turned into our local! Wouldn’t go anywhere else!!!
