The Alders in Newark and Sherwood

The alders pub is wonderful. The food is delicious and very well cooked. Visiting way an enjoyable experience and really made my day as the staff are incredibly kind. Especially my waitress: the beautiful kind kim. She made me feel welcomed and took the time to ensure my meal was excellent. I will definitely come back soon (especially if kim is working xx 😘😉❤️) thank you

Good food and a relaxing atmosphere

Marc was so helpful & the food was amazing!

We stopped off travelling south. The service was excellent. Really friendly people who care about the service they are giving. Better than some top restaurants I have been to. The food was good value and very tasteful. Would highly recommend and particularly in run up to Christmas as it is already very festive. Well done Colin and the team.

First visit but we were pleased with the carvery food.

Visited for lunch, was seated quickly by Sue who gave us great friendly service,

Staff was lovely, seated promptly, I ordered the carvery, did not get the notification my husband's food was almost ready, he had to wait for me to get my dinner. The carvery meat was dehydrated, the peas, were completely shriveled and everything was not really hot. The mixed grill my husband had was great and the Guiness was good.

Carvery was not nice. Not busy enough for fresh food on carvery, very bland mash, jaw ache from chewing the beef, concrete block are softer than the stuffing and the Yorkshire puddings mix was too heavy (very doughy) To top it off very flat coke

A little disappointed, onion rings soft not crispy both our chips were cold and tasted fatty. For how long we waited for the meal, potatoes could have been peeled, cut and cooked from fresh. Obviously frozen chips are quicker these days..

Nice venue, friendly and professional staff food was average

Food was nice, staff friendly and nice environment. There wasn't a lot of vegetarian/vegan options so that's maybe something that could be worked on but the veggie burger was very good

Took over 10 minutes to order drinks.Food took an eternity to arrive and when it did arrive the chicken was a little pink inside didn’t complain but left the food. Possibly an off day but wouldn’t go again

Food was awful, I had the gammon which I sent back due to it resembling charcoal, the tomato and pineapple were also burnt! My daughter had the cheddar and potato pie which I can only presume was made out of cement and not pastry. The only good thing about the experience was the friendly staff

Carvery was absolutely awful. Roast pork was a slice of fat!! The vegetables were tasteless, and the gravy was very thick and glue like!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Alders and I must say that Nathan, the carvery chef, made the experience exceptional from start to finish. His skill and passion were immediately evident as he expertly carved each slice, ensuring that every guest received exactly what they wanted. Nathan’s attention to detail was remarkable—he listened carefully to each request, whether for a thin or thicker cut, and delivered with precision and a smile. What truly set Nathan apart was his warm, welcoming demeanor. He took the time to engage with each guest, creating a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. It’s rare to meet someone so dedicated to making each guest’s experience memorable. Thank you, Nathan, for going above and beyond! Your expertise and kindness truly made our meal unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back and hope to see you again!

Came for the first time having just moved to the area and will be the only time unfortunately. Had to wait quite a while to be seated, once seated the chairs were filthy (full of stains and some tears) so swapped with cleanest ones could find. Everything felt sticky, tables, door handles etc and the toilet smelt like someone had just had a fag in it. Then the food arrived, very average, hardly any taste and the chips were hard and barely edible as very undercooked. The two girls serving were the only redeeming part of a very disappointing experience.

Stopped here on our way home for a quick meal. The staff were very pleasant, friendly and helpful. We were seated quickly and could order at the bar through the QR code on the table. This was quick and easy to use. The food and drinks were served quickly and were both well presented and hot. They have a good choice of food and drinks. Well worth a visit.

The carvery was beautiful, best mash I've had on a carvery anywhere, great choice of vegetables to accompany, and the beef was perfect. The staff were friendly and welcoming, spacious and good disabled access.

Service is amazing, had the carvery, whilst the veg was gorgeous the beef was very fatty and tough and the turkey very overcooked so couldn't eat it

Really enjoyed our meal here. Delicious carvery and a good choice of other dishes on the menu. Friendly service too.

Great job, great service, good food

Beautiful carvery wonderful service highly recomend , big thankyou to sue our waitress very friendly, will call again

Visited tonight for my Grandsons 16th birthday, he actually likes the cowboy burger so his choice. What an absolute mistake, a party of 8. My daughter and myself ordered pies, chicken and stake and ale. Daughters came out with a solid top even the knife wouldn't cut into it. My steak pie was so solid on the top it was not possible to either cut into it or eat it. My daughter asked for it to be sent back,it came back even worse and someone chucked the watery gravy all over it. Fetched a member of staff and refused to rat it, asked just for a basket of chips, she was refunded the £13 and free horrible chips for free. I gave the server the top of my concrete pie back and said tell the chef he can use it as a brick or door stopper. I will never step in Alders again Oh whilst we were there fire alarm went off twice, probably the chef was burning the pies

Paid for a roast carvery and literally no roast potatoes. Nathan the chef has awful people skills and treats the job life it's and inconvenience. Worst attitude to have when dealing with paying public. The service staff were amazing and apologised for his behaviour explaining he has had numerous complaints before.

Had the Scampi, Mac and Cheese and Beef lasagna which were all very nice and was served by Abbie and Tom who were very nice and welcoming.

Food was good, quiet time when we went 3-4pm quite a wait to be seated and served as I think they were short staffed

Excellent visit will return in the future

Great food and great value. Friendly staff… thanks to Maggie who served us. Great disabled parking. Food was freshly made and great selection of meats in carvery.

Maggie was an amazing hostess with full knowledge of the menu and discounts (along with awesome tattoos!). Food was hearty and tasty and atmosphere was great.

Lovely pub, excellent carvery, lots of choice, well cooked. The pub was very welcoming, especially Maggie, who was a sparkling delight. Best service I've had for a long while. Many thanks. 😊

Got in Alders 11.30 for Wednesday's curry and rice and soft drinks £12.50. got meals 10 past 12 just to find how curry and rice nearly cold very disappointed don't think it was the chefs fault I think it was ready before that just that the nice barmaid had for got to bring it to us. So a big thumbs down.

Local restaurant, good food good menu best chips in the area

Stopped at the Alders for lunch on our way back from centre parcs. We were a party of 6. Received a very warm welcome from Nick. Food was lovely, prices were good. Would definitely visit again next time in Sheffield. Well done Nick and team. Carol x

Staff were lovely, food was amazing!! A really good place to eat!

Came here following a break to Center Parcs, didn’t know the area so was a finger on a map for a bite to eat on the way home. We were here before opening hours, one of the staff, Nick opened up to let us in as we were hanging around in the car park. Lovely pub, Nick was very pleasant and accommodating, making sure we were well looked after. Food was lovely isn’t going to break the bank. Three of us ordered off the normal menu and three of us off the lunchtime special menu which is very good value for money and filling. Drinks were not expensive, and the rest of the staff very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely come back for a meal out!

It’s a good place the staff are good

Big turnaround & running back to how it used to, fresh food, plenty of and great team

Disappointing. I am not complaining about the time the meals took to arrive as there was clearly a large party in and an obvious lack of staff on duty. I would like to congratulate the young lady serving the meals for keeping her cool despite the amount of complaints she was having to deal with when the rest of the staff were no where to be seen to take the heat off her. Well done Taylor 👏 Now about the meals. The vegetable Thai style curry was so hot that it couldn't be tasted. The 2 Burgers.. 1 was fresh and hot with fresh fries. The other had clearly been sat on the side for an hour and warmed up. The fries were inedible, and the burger was merely enjoyable. I was too hungry, having waited so long to bother asking for a replacement. We won't be back I'm afraid

Many of my friends we go on our birthdays been going there each year so friendly nice setting always staff always there to help and it's not far to walk to Romayne

Had a really lovely roast here with some family and friends. Will be definitely revisiting. Also a massive thanks you Rylie for all the help today. Legend.

Lovely carvery pub with beautiful food

Excellent service and always very friendly staff

We were there s few years back.( like to eat at different places). We will come back to see if the food and service will be the same. I had scampi. Very nice. (Can't comment on vegetarian/dietary as i didn't read/wasn't interested). Easy to book on line. Had to adjust the number of people, couldn't amend on line, but managed to phone to change it. Communication was good. Food was lovely for the price.

It is excellent place the food is amazing and all the stuff are nice too. And they have good customer service and staff are so nice and friendly and they are always make you welcome Kim is so friendly and kind. And She good what she. Does. Kim is amazing and lovely person and friendly and cosy. You make use wec welcome

Visited 6.00 Monday. I had fish and chips my wife had a regular carvery. My meal was fine apart from them being tight with the chips. My wifes carvery was good but they were tight with the meat but overall OK. As good as anywhere else. Went twice in September when they had a 30% off mains. I had a very nice chicken burger and scampi on the other occasion. My wife had the surf and turf aswell as scampi. Both were nice. Drink a bit on the expensive side.

Fantastic service from Tom! Lovely food as usual.

Brilliant loved it , staff very helpful. good food

Absolutely amazing service as always n TOM smashing service yet again

I have to say, I had a lovely meal here on Sunday. The food was lovely and very quick to be served. Just make sure you make a booking!

Table was dirty had to ask to get it cleaned steak wasn't cooked as ordered won't be going again

Food has become very expensive and quality diminished. Been going since it opened, but only go now if desperate. Carvery was diabolical and gluten free knowledge of serving chef limited. Shame to see how far it's fallen. No rush to return.

Generally ok but the 40 minute wait for food wasn't ideal. Could also do with more bar staff as it took a long time to place our food order due to a queue at the bar.

Everything good,service was excellent ,food was lovely, could not have been better.10 out of 10. WILL BE GOING BACK AGAIN

Served by Taylor with a smile great service and good food for a reasonable price

Unfortunately the steak and ale pie pastry was burned black on the inside and inedible. The restaurant was busy and as nobody came to check on us after our meal was served we were u able to bring this to anyone’s attention before leaving.

Good drinks, OK food value for.money.

Thank you Erin for a wonderful evening service at Adlers. We celebrated my wife’s birthday tonight with my son, daughter in law and three of our Grandchildren. The food was excellent, starters and Carvery delicious. It was a really pleasant evening atmosphere. I would recommend the Adlers fully to anyone wanting a wonderful Sunday Carvery at 6:30pm. Thank you so much for making my wife’s birthday meal a memorable one. Andy Boyles

Always find a friendly welcome, have good offers when you book on line, every meal I have had I've been extremely satisfied, I try to call at least once a month with my friend, we find excellent quality at a reasonable price, plenty to choose from on the menu, something for every occasion, looking forward to my next visit.

We came for food after swimming nearby. When ordered asked for no Mayo came with Mayo. Waitress swapped it for a new one but it was the worst Club sandwich. Just slapped together. Daughters said that the meals they has wasn't great. Won't be back in a hurry.

Not a good experience at all. Food bland and dry.

Enjoyed our 2 weekend visits to the Alders, if anything I think they could do with 1or 2 more bar staff for the busy periods, the guy who was serving (the guy with the beard) was great and had a pleasant attitude

We recently visited the Alders again for Sunday carvery, still great food, good beers, great staff and friendly atmosphere. Many thanks, we'll be back!!

On arrival, I had a voucher for 30% off, but the member of staff advised us it would be cheaper using the burger deal offer, which we did and thanked him. We were advised there was a delay on the food and we were ok with that. When the food came, mine was ok, but my friends burger was raw in the middle. Their excuse was the dye that is put in the burgers. They said they would cook her a fresh one , well this took longer than the first and the acting head chef came out and assured it was cooked but the bread bun was icy cold so my friend sent it back and is awaiting a refund back to her card she paid with. Will not be going back . Only given 1 star due to the member of staff being polite and helpful in the beginning.

Visited for Sunday dinner, booked a table for 4. Service was excellent, food was served without any delay and the quality was really good. Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.

Fantastic place to have a meal, the food was amazing and the staff lovely and welcoming, I would highly recommend 🙂👍

Had pre booked table for 4, on arrival shown to a table next to indoor young children's play area. The restaurant was by no means full. As we had no small children with us we asked for an alternative table. Ordering our food was problematic, 2 x steak and ale pie - didn't have any, so asked for fish and chips - fish fryer broken, cookie dough brownie - "don't think we have any, I'll check - fortunately they did have some. Overall a very poor experience, my scampi meal was very poorly presented with no garnish at all and rock hard peas. Burger was described as bland with only burger and lettuce in the bun. Whilst the prices are reasonable the meal we had represented very poor value for money. We live local and have used the restaurant a number of times and the food is definitely going downhill and we will probably go elsewhere after yesterday.

Family meal for 16 of us food was good price was good. All meals came out together we had a good mix carvery, pie, curry kebabs everyone enjoyed

Nice atmosphere, good choice of food and drinks, attentive staff, recommended.

Warm welcome, good value food served quickly.

Unfortunately our experience of the Carvery was horrendous. We had a table booked for 6.30pm and by then the turkey was not available, the 'roast' potatoes were white and not crispy and browned. We asked for some fresh toasties but they were exactly the same as the previous ones.The member of staff - Riley was very apologetic as was the Manager who refunded part of our payment.

Visited twice, lovely food served on both occasions.

Lovely atmosphere and good food

food awful person doing carvery moaning tables dirty food all over the floor never come here again

Good simple fare which we enjoy staff polite Carvery could have been slightly warmer

Great service, friendly staff, gorgeous food and great play areas for the kids

Jade and Abby always go above and beyond for their customers making sure they are accommodating to all needs and everyone is happy. Food is always spot on

Coffee cups holding 50% foam/froth at full prices

Really lovely meal and great service. We had a lovely barman named Marc that made sure our complicated order went through ok and it all arrived as we requested.

We booked a table for 4 people as it was Friday evening, which we know can be very busy, and it was. The booking process was very easy, andvwe were kept updated with texts and emails. We usually have the carvery.The meats are very tender with a great selection of vegetables. The food tastes delicious. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The chefs are also very friendly and lovely, and appear very hard working. This last time we stayed for the quiz, which had a very different but interesting format, which we all really enjoyed. We all had a very enjoyable time.

Wow absolutely beautiful carvery! Best one I’ve had there in a long time! Yorkshire’s were huge The meat was just delish, creamiest mash I’ve ever had and the veg was just perfect! Couldn’t fault one bit! The chef Riley did a fantastic job! Defo coming again x

Just been for a carvery , to be fair , worst Iv ever eaten in my life . The meat was lovely , as for the rest … No , awful !! Absolutely awful . Staff on the bar looked stressed , running around like headless chickens . Someone demanding to see the manager about his food , that should ring alarm bells straight away but thought I’d give them the benefit of the doubt . Wish I’d not bothered . The young man serving the carvery ordering people to stand on the wrong side of the serving hatch . Should be wearing something to cover his beard when serving food too . Won’t be returning , wouldn’t recommend . Staff irritable , food all over the floor . Service with a smile goes a long long way . From an ex publican !

Poor. Most beers weren't available, carvery wasn't available, and at least two main meals were off. All in all this place has gone down hill fast. Since this post, things have greatly improved. We have been a number of times since as it is local to us and I can't fault the food, the staff or the service. I am pleased to say I recommend the Alders

Welcomed on arrival, prompt service, friendly staff, clean restaurant, lovely food.

I visited yesterday with my son and the food wasn't up to it's usual standard. The roast potatoes were either under done or over done and some of the vegetables were very greasy.

Great service, thanks Matthew W :) Good food & atmosphere!

Came to the Alders for a meal the other day. Really enjoyed our meal. Sue was our server, she was very friendly and professional. She is a credit to the team, thank you

We popped to alders from centre parcs for dinner. So glad we did. We we greeted by some lovely lady who sat us down, food was well decent for the money. We’ll definitely go back. If ya at centre parcs wanting a a change. Defo try this place

A wonderful pub/restaurant with a great atmosphere, outside seating and play area. We spent just under £100 whilst there and that was mains, drinks and desserts for 2 adults and 4 kids. When I say the food was perfect it really was! Our kids ate absolutely everything. No complaints (a rarity) they sat us right next to the the doors so the kids could play happily outside. The service was so quick and all the staff were so polite. Had we known there was a quiz we definitely would have got a taxi and had a few more drinks whilst the kids played into the summer night. What a wonderful place, we definitely will be returning. Thank you so so much.

what a great dining experience!!!great family atmosphere and all the staff were brill. Kids eat for a pound atm so great deals on!! What a place this is, dogs welcome on the garden and play area for the little ones! Big shout out to becks who made my visit.

Wow what a disappointment we have been before but very disappointed today. Had a wake happening,couldn't cope with the demand.I waited over an hour for a stark sandwich had to.ask where it was obviously been done a while took it out to my table. No apology or anything obviously served all the regulars with carvery as they had left or were being served dessert. Won't be returning

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Took my allergies into consideration and was offered an allergy menu straight away. It was quiet, customers spread around the venue. Carvery was nice and an extremely friendly chef, bar staff really friendly and helpful. Was asked twice if food was ok. Will be returning in the next few days.

I visit the alders often and I always leave with a smile, amazing staff and lovely food, great service by kenzie on the bar, would highly recommend to everyone

Food was OK, I do like coming here. Sometimes the food is great sometimes it's OK but I still like the place.

Love visiting this place. Staff are warm and friendly. Varied menu and vegetarian options too. The desserts are to die for! Play area outside for little ones. Has a few disabled parking spaces. Definitely recommend.

I was here tonight with my family the food was great and the staff was amazing especially Alexia as she was so polite and helpful and ensured everything was good for us

Lovely meal Gammon and a pint of Pedigree

Managed to accommodate us even though we had not booked. Very polite attentive and courteous staff (all of them.) Had steak pie x2 which was quickly delivered and hot. Great lunchtime stop. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Great food and service, Rebecca was great. I would recommend to all !

We took advantage of the Thursday night steak with a drink offer. Great value and always a friendly and welcoming atmosphere

Excellent service particularly from Rebecca
