Not My Monkey in Newark and Sherwood

Service with a smile (I find this a rarity these days) and very polite. Prompt service. Lovely food, smoothie bowl…highly recommend this place, will be going back again soon. 👍

Super little cafe, excellent breakfast, very good value and lovely ingredients lovingly prepared for a hearty breakfast.

Nice little cafe stop on our way back from Melton, very nice brunch in the garden room

What a lovely little cafe. Found via TripAdvisor, this proved to be as good as people said. Meals were above average prices but worth every penny and nothing, not even the side salad (which was lovely), was left on the plates afterwards. Even went back in and took some scones with us for a mid-afternoon snack. Weather was good so we were outside with 2 dogs who enjoyed seeing other dogs going to the nearby groomers. We will be back in the future.

This is a lovely place with very friendly staff. It's also dog friendly. Within a few minutes of sitting down, they bought out water and food for my dog, it was so unexpected and lovely. They have a good value "drink and a meal" menu. My wife had mussels, which came with a lovely seafood cream sauce and bread, and I had ravioli, which was also very nice. There's a very good selection on the menu, and I think it's going to take quite a few visits to work through it. There are numerous gluten free and vegan options, so it should suit most people. They offer some very nice cocktails, the ones we tried were very impressive. We also had something off the desert menu. There's a good selection, we had the cheesecake and it was lovely. We won't hesitate to visit again. Edit: We've been going back for a number of months, and absolutely love the place. The great food and wonderful staff really make this place feel ma Edit 2: We're still going back to this place. They've updated the menu to keep things fresh. I think they've done it a couple of times since we've been going. The food is still wonderful and the staff are all really lovely. Edit 3: We still love this place. They've recently won some well deserved awards. It's great to see such nice people do so well. Edit 4: We've just gone back after their most recent menu update. We tried a new dish, crab filled pasta, it's absolutely lovely. We will be back again soon.
