rumbles at sconce park in Newark and Sherwood

Just been to Sconce Park with my husband and granddaughter and was hoping for a peaceful coffee in the sunshine. However, the loud and obtrusive music blaring out from loud speakers put us off completely. It’s the volume, not the music. Turn it down!! I don’t know how the local residents can stand it and I’d be complaining if I lived near there. Sad really.

No vegan options. Nothing. Had run out of plant milk. Black coffee which was ok and sat outside in the sun. Thankfully I’d taken some home made flap jack to share so we didn’t go hungry. Will try again if they start offering some vegan options. Otherwise we will head off to the allotment in Collingham the next time we come for the parkrun. 😉

The best cob ever. Only £4.50 Feb 2024. Lovely coffee. Very friendly. Opens 830am at weekend. Toilets and easy parking. Simply the best

Very nice coffee and cake, will be back for a bacon roll, friendly staff. Easy access and clean toilets very nearby. Highly recommended.

Went with some archaeology colleagues to look at the Queen's Sconce, had scones ( from Rumbles) on the sconce. Nice china if you eat in, will give you a paper bag to take out. Proper friendly staff, scone homemade and tasty none of your whippy can cream, the real stuff. And I also had a sneaky sausage roll too. Recommended.

Excellent bacon cob. Lovely oat milk coffee. Lots of chairs in the shade! I'd definitely come here again.

At the present there is no indoor seating available. We made the most of the beautiful sunshine by having our drinks at one of the outside tables which overlook the park. Enjoyed a decent coffee served by a polite and friendly member of staff.

I went in there today. Ordered a cob and then watched the chefpull his pants up. Then pat a cob with the same hands. Make several chip cobs. Wipe his hands on the apron. Cook chips and sausages together then split them and tben recook on a hotplate thay needed isolating from the black egg he had just removed. I waited 15 minutes for a cob which hadnt even been started in all that time of handling food. I NEVER ONCE saw him wash his hands. So for a cafe i feel sorry for the customers . I also liked the look of the cakes scones etc and a fab looking Apple pie. None of it covered and it being a warm day all in all not a good place to dine on a very busy day. Thank goodness the wait was so long i got my money back from the cob i ordered and left not a happy bunny

Lovely out door seating area that is a great sun trap. Friendly, polite service. Nice coffee. Not expensive.

we have been many times, often walked away no seat in or outside.it gets busy on sunny days, so we went today, not very busy today.seat in and outside.we had tea, sausage cobs and victoria sponge cake, all excellent. thankyou very much.

Convenient for Sconce Hills, playground and Newark parkrun. Good value food, friendly service and plenty of tables outside.

Nice friendly cafe in the park with indoor and outdoor seating. Good value drinks and snacks, highly recommended

with inside and outside seating it is a nice place to have a coffee before or after walking through the park, it gets quite busy at times. handy for the childrens play area so you can take drinks away and site in the secured area with your young ones. Also very busy on sat.morning with the park run there.

Rumbles is a social enterprise cafe in the popular Queens Sconce park which has a good playground beside it and plenty of room to stretch legs and walk the dog. It gives an opportunity for social intereaction and employmnet for people with learning difficulties and for that reason alone is worth supporting. However coffee is pretty good for an autimatic machine and Im pretty picky. The scones and cakes looked good and the 2 size cooked breakfasts are very good value. Radio Newark plays ovwr speakers abd TV on wall plays Sky news with subtitles inside. Outside there is are plenty of tables for a fine day.

Coffee cost £1.70 and was very weak, like the coffee pot had been topped up with just hot water, won't bother again.

Cafe serving light meals, cakes, snacks, ice creams and beverages. Good all day breakfasts and sausage and bacon cobs. Sat outside on a lovely day after taking the grandson around Sconce Park. Inside seating also. Not surprisingly frequented by visitors to the park, joggers and cyclists. A social enterprise that really works. Pleasant staff, keen to please, table service. Great

Small cafe that does a good breakfast. Homemade cakes and scones are great but unless the sun is shining and you can dine al fresco the indoor area only seats about 18.

They blast out loud music disrespectful to people who dont want to.listen to terrible loud rave and dance music

Come here all the time with my mum and daughter for a good brew and scone (pronounced sssgone ;p) whilst my daughter plays in the park.

Called in for coffee at the end of a long car journey. Nice latte. Friendly staff, with ample room to enjoy the coffee.

Waited half an hour in the queue (standing up which I can't for long as I'm disabled) to get to the till to be told they are only serving bacon and sausage. I'm vegetarian. Then told I can't buy my drink either because it wasn't over £5. Absolutely fuming. There was various other food advertised and no warning of this.

We visited here in June and was a nice day my 4 year old son played on the adventure park up the climbing frame and on the slide, then we went to rumbles for ice cream. We was created with a fantastic smile and happiness the 2 ladies behind the counter were polite and really patient while my son chose his flavour of ice cream. Also what I found great was they had employed a lovely young fella that had special needs and he was great very polite and his concentration in his work was second to none. It was also a weekend where there was a small jumble sale outside which made it very nice. Great place and couldn't get any better apart from not having enough drying outside when the sun is shining (I know a rare site in the uk)

Great cheese and tomato on toast - two slices of hand cut wholemeal bread with tasty mature cheddar and ample fresh cut tomatoes. All for £2.60. Prepared to order and cooked under a proper grill. Best cheese on toast I have eaten for years. Great atmosphere, nice surroundings.

Went to park, order my food and coffee, cups dirty with lip stick, then a group arrived and was served first then me, in the end I have to walk away. looks like the the girls was working in the kitchen was having a bad day, so someone has to get the blame.

Had lunch a Rumbles today. Lovely setting (in the park) beautiful interiors and decorated with information on local heritage and traditional Britishness with flags and telephone box.

We often go to the park, and this place is great for a quick drink, the food is good too, friendly staff and next to a kiddy park. Brilliant.

This is a great little cafe, really appreciated by the community and a great example of lottery funding. It's in the Sconce Park, near the playground area. Staff are friendly and helpful, the food ranges from full on roast dinners to scones and cakes via bacon rolls. Plus tea, coffee, cold drinks etc. Decent clean toilets and water bowls for dogs. We always drop in when we're in the area. Excellent addition to the park with interesting info about the Civil War too.

What a cute place. Lovely scones and great friendly staff. Worth a visit a real community venue. Simon ,David, Lisa and Lorraine were lovely you know your some where special and caring.
