The Alders in Newark and Sherwood

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

Great job, great service, good food

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

It’s a good place the staff are good

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

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!

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.

Excellent service and always very friendly staff

Lovely carvery pub with beautiful food

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

I came here today and it was great service and food. Especially from kim; she was excellent and put in tremendous effort with the Christmas weekend (e.g. the children's activities etc.)

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!

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

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

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.

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.

Lovely atmosphere and good food

Visited twice, lovely food served on both occasions.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Lovely meal Gammon and a pint of Pedigree

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

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.

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

great food and lovely service. Rebecca and Richard were both very friendly.

Never had a bad experience, we love coming here. The staff are fantastic, the food is great and it’s a clean place to enjoy a treat now and then

Excellent service particularly from Rebecca

Whenever I am in Manafield for work this is my go to place for Sunday Roast. We always go about 2pm as its quieter. Food is great.

As always such professionalism, from start to finish ease of communication- and excellent scrumptious food. All staff as always exceptional, especially Abbie… such a beautiful star… thank you so much made our family night… we will be back.

6 were dining, we used the app to order which was simple and efficient. We had an issue with one meal being delivered late but it was dealt with sufficiently and all the food was enjoyed by all.

Polly was very helpful and had good a good sense of humour. We will be back

We visited for a birthday lunch at noon. We were shown to a suitable table. The carvery was terrible, the beef was like fluff and tasted sour, the veg cold and hard, the Yorkshire's were cold and rubbery. It was as if it had either been kept warm overnight or reheated, the only thing hot was the gravy. We mentioned the beef was appalling so the manager went and brought a slice of replacement beef from the same joint! Needless to say we didn't eat it and got a refund. We weren't asked if we wanted something else, or offered a free drink or dessert to compensate for a ruined birthday meal although we mentioned the problem with the carvery very quickly. Thankfully the birthday girl and her hubby had burgers which they said were okay. We had to sit and watch them eat! We have been previously and the food was okay but will not be going again.

Excellent service and consideration by all staff. I would like to especially thank Steven who greeted and served us, and Nathan the chef.

Good food, good place, great service. I ordered a cowboy burger with chips and onion rings and was not disappointed. Beef patty was a little overdone but that definitely didn't take away from how good it was. For a drink I had a glass of lemonade which you can't go wrong with. Really struggle to find any flaws so I would definitely recommend to anyone interested.

can never go wrong with the carvery, Kim was lovely and very warm and welcoming from the get go.

Service from all of the staff was very friendly! Thank you to Marc. The food was great and correct when I asked for no bacon on my chicken burger (that’s not weird) I would recommend it

Had a great time, was greeted by staff with a smile. The carvery was stop on couldn't fault any part of it whatsoever. Kenzie came to the table to make sure everything was okay with our meals with a smile. Desserts where plated up beautifully and tasted amazing. Will definitely be coming back.

Sunday carvery absolutely beautiful meal . Plentiful and fresh, the beef is to die for! Big thankyou to all staff but especially Craig who served our lunch what a lovely, polite, respectful young man !! A true credit 👏 Would definitely recommend and return 👌

Thanks Mark for excellent service. Suzi and bopper

service was the best thing here. Marc is a credit to the pub goes above and beyond for the customers

We came yesterday, as my nephew absolutely loves the big slices of cake! We thought we'd have a meal, so we booked a table a few hours in advance. we walked through the door, waited for someone to come over, instead a guy shouted us to come to the bar, we were told what table we were on, but never shown ourselves, once seated the table was very unsteady, I had to keep my feet on the bottom to stop it from rocking! Once we ordered food the pie was absolutely rock hard, my mum could not get a knife it to cut it! The peas were extremly dark green and mushy, we sent it back, but the waitress didn't seem that bothered to be honest, once her meal was rectified, my hunters chicken was dry, little bbq sauce and even less cheese. Chicken was tiny too! Also, no onion rings(the menu states you get these with the meal) i asked if I could have them, as I've paid for the meal allready, again, the waitress didn't seem to bothered that we'd had issues. The only thing that saved it for us was the cake... Although pouring cream would of been so much better than squirty cream, but we were told you no longer buy it in. Won't be returning, £70 wasted, noone came over to see if our food was ok after the issues we had either.
