The Bean And Vine in Newark and Sherwood

Lovely little local small coffee shop. Good value, good selection of food and cakes. Reasonable pricing and happy to recommend and support.

Terrible coffee and cake unfortunately. The flat whites were obviously americano coffees topped with hot milk. The lotus biscoff brownies were completely dry. Waste of money, no excuse serving bad coffee and charging a premium. Inexperienced staff trying their best

It’s a young, inexperienced team on the busiest day of the week so there was confusion and missed orders which spoils the vibe in a small place like this but you can’t get angry with the staff - they’re lovely and doing their best. Management is probably not present. There is however, a nice outside space in the sun to watch children play in the town beach and they also do take outs. It’s a prime location at the heart of the historic town so management would be advised to make the effort.

Would not recommend, went today the food is very very basic and very highly priced, they forgot one meal and when questioned said it would be out in minute as they forgot to order it, staff are not very helpful and very blasé, situated in a good spot that looks inviting - DONT BE FOOLED.

Very poor, first time I’ve had a flat white with filter coffee topped with milk froth not once but twice after I complained and then aggressively questioned as to ‘how I like mine’ then after 40 minutes had passed our very bland panini arrived. No where near worth the £25, it’s a massive no from me, I’ll go elsewhere next time, probably next door !!

Nice setting in the market place and perfect for sitting outside on a sunny day. Good selection of cakes The service was a little chaotic with inexperienced staff who didn’t seem to know what they were doing. We ordered 1 x carrot cake and two scones with jam and clotted cream which came with one teeny pot of jam to share and clotted cream that would serve 1 and half scones. We had to ask for butter and knives. The teapot came with only enough milk for 2 cups yet we ordered tea for 3 and no spare hot water. It was ok

Went for some lunch with friends and was underwhelmed by the menu. Specials have No visible prices nor do the cakes, probably because they charge extortionate prices on these items or just make it up as they go along. Food took an awfully long time after having to ask if the order was even put through. Extra items on receipt. Staff or what I assume was the owner brings the place down with an awful attitude and rudeness. Terrible atmosphere. The place was filthy unwelcoming and overpriced! Will not be returning!

I visited Bean and Vine with my sister yesterday for the first time. The food was delicious. I had the special -french toast with mushrooms and cheese. It was very tasty. Service was brilliant. Would definitely recommend.

Awful experience, not quite sure where to start. When we arrived, for some unknown reason, our request to sit at the empty window table caused one staff member to have an almighty strop and slam a chair down, making us feel very unwelcome. Despite this unpleasantness, we regrettably took the table and ordered a tea, coffee and vegan cake to share. I would be really surprised if the ‘banana’ and chocolate cake had ever seen a banana in its life. I spent the next 2 hours feeling extremely ill, either because of the chemical tasting cake or the dire state of the bathroom which was absolutely disgusting. That said, the tea and coffee was nice enough and was reasonably priced! Will not be returning!

Good location - overlooking Newark market square. Indoor and outdoor seating. Posh finger sandwich in brioche with very minty mushy peas - very nice.Coffee okay.Negatives:Chef who served us food, not appropriately dressed. Our main gripe was cost of cakes - 1 slice of choc orange cake £4.20. Far too expensive. Scone was "sourced locally from bakers" but not homemade, tasted OK but small, and overpriced at £3.50.We like our cakes but this is too expensive so we won't be returning !

Have used this cafe many times on our visits to Newark. I think it now has new owners. The service is poor, popped in on a Saturday lunch time, my partner had a sandwich which was quite nice, but no cutlery or condiments were given to him. I asked for a scone with butter & jam but requested that it wasn’t warmed up in the microwave, when I cut it open it felt stale, I ate a little & it was awful. I called (presume the owner) & said that the scone was stale, she assured me the scones were fresh that day, she rather abruptly asked if I still wanted it? I said No. she didn’t apologise or offer me anything else on the menu, just took the scone away! So I just drank my coffee!My partner went to pay & said we wouldn’t be paying for the scone, she then said that there was nothing wrong with it because she had just eaten the other half!! Who really eats the customers stale food!The waitresses looked nice dressed in black with blue aprons but (I presume the owners) looked very scruffy, the guy preparing the food had no mask, jeans & T-shirt with No apron & the women had a scruffy looking dress & trainers with No apron.Overall a poor experience & sadly will not return, thankfully there are some other nice cafes in Newark!

I had an iced coffee with milk and my daughter had the same without. Both were weak and flavourless. Mine just tasted of cold-ish milk.We were pretty disappointed. My wife had an americano, and it was OK. I know it was an iced coffee rather than a cold brew, but for a coffee house, it should have been a lot better.

We arrived early lunchtime on a Saturday so it was busy. But there is no excuse for the lack of Covid hygiene protocol carried out.1) I wasn't asked if I registered my visit using the Covid 19 app. I actually hadn't seen it on my way in so I did it on the way out. My husband hasn't got the App so his details should of been taken manually.2) I saw tables being cleared of plates and noticed twice the tables and chairs not being wiped down after they had been used.3) I caught sight of member of staff that worked in the kitchen and he wasn't wearing a mask. ( I like to think the person preparing my food was wearing one. Maybe it's just me)The staff were pleasant but more training I think wouldn't go amiss.Had to get my own menu. The young girl must of walked past me about five times. Had to call her back to ask for salt and salad dressing. Surely they should ask is there anything else I get for you.And my pet hate is being served tea in a chip pot.I know this sounds fussy as it's not a Five star restaurant.Having said all this the food itself was good.But I don't think I will be back, as basis hygiene rules were not being carried out.

Just visited for lunch and was given such a warm welcome. Short staffed and very busy but nothing was too much trouble for them. Great food, lovely hot coffee and delicious cakes. Will definitely visit again!

Had a lovely meal and great service yesterday will definitely go back so much better than the last time I went which was on 22nd it was very slow service we had to wait to be served and then wait even longer to pay the bill but we decide to have another go diffrent staff and very nice and efficient would go again if these staff where on.

We have been a few times over the years and always enjoyed the coffee and food. Yesterday being nice weather we thought we would have a coffee sitting outside.The waitress was not wearing a mask, and she was also leaning over the table when serving and when she brought the card machine, my husband put his mask on, and she was standing at his shoulder. I went to the toilets inside, wearing my mask and not one member of staff had a mask on. I thought it was compulsory for staff in shops and eateries to wear mask, I might be wrong but this is the first place we have been where they have not. We will not be back.

The cafe was lovely,also the staff, I had homemade soup which was lovely and fresh. Reasonably priced and will be returning. X

today we visited bean and vine in newark. The food was amazing well presented and delicious 😋 the staff were very pleasant and inviting will definitely be visiting some time soon. X

Undoubtedly the BEST coffee in town, and its in a great location, the new staff are lovely, friendly and always happy to help, and I had the homemade beef lasagne and it was lovely, will recommend 😊 and will definitely be returning.

Tried the chicken schnitzel and was lovely!!!, reasonable prices for the location and staff were all lovely and hard working, would definitely recommend the coffee and will return.

Supermarket Cafe level really. Earlier reviews had given the impression this is an eggs Royale type of place with a good chef etc. It really isn’t. Very average jacket potato type menu, plain salads, plain toasties. The name just doesn’t fit this place that’s for sure. Friendly and helpful staff though and good location in the square.

Good service. Food mediocre. Staff friendly and efficient. Hard working on busy market days. The menu is reduced. We both had a panini which arrived quickly. Very ordinary, mass produced panini. Filling was OK. Cheese inside was still cold - not melted. The bread was chewy, not crispy and panini should be all about the grilling and the crunch. Served with a salad on the side that also wasn’t good. Also supermarket quality with what tasted like bottled dressing. Coffee - also average. Not particularly good at all. It’s not cheap for what you get.

Great location on the edge of Newark market square. Outside there is a small blackboard on each table that says they will take your order at the table. Ignore this as the staff do! We sat for over 10 minutes waiting for them to come to the table and we were only one of three tables occupied. I went inside to order. When we did get our drinks they were fine.

Lovely breakfast! I enjoyed my full English, and family enjoyed the Eggs Benedict and Eggs Royale. Highly recommended

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch and this place was perfect, the food and service was very good and we really enjoyed it

You never know what your going to get at The Bean & Vine, the service isn’t always good especially if you choose to sit outside, many a time I’ve had to get up and go inside looking for a member of staff to take my order, and compared to other cafes in Newark it’s fairly expensive with the average latte costing an extra 25p in comparison!

Me and my family are often in The Bean and Vine, I loved it so much, I have recently brought two of my friends. They often have lovely cheerful staff that know the menu and it has a lovely, warm feel to the place. Unfortunately, our visit today was slightly disappointing because, my Mum asked the young girl with brown hair in a pony tail and glasses, what soft drinks they had and she shrugged her shoulders. Just looked like she didn’t want to be there, the whole time we were there. Just came across as ill-mannered, the lady with the short, highlighted hair came with the food like a breath of fresh air and really put her to shame!☹️Won’t stop us coming in future, but hopefully this review is useful feedback!

On are way for a weekend away in Norfolk, set off from home later then expected, and decide to stop and grab some lunch in Newark. This lovely place didn't disappoint. I had a flat bread with pulled pork and my husband had the chicken curry and rice, both were excellent. It was a busy café but the staff acknowledged us and said we won't be a minute. Food came quickly, if I am in the area again definitely would go back

Visited today for a late breakfast. Was given a warm welcome by staff and my order was promptly taken. The Eggs Florentine were tasty and well presented. Is well worth a visit when in Newark and I will definitely be returning .

Needed somewhere for dinner and chose The Bean and Vine due to how popular it looked with the ouside seating being full.Ordered an Americano and a Bacon and Sausage sandwich. I can see why the place is so popular, the coffee is lovely and the food is delicious. The owners were friendly and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Coffee was excellent but the cake was a bit dry for the price. Service could have been a bit more friendlier. Felt a bit ignored especially when paying - Standing waiting to be acknowledged directly in front of the staff. No genuine warmth in the customer service unfortunately.

Nice little building on the edge of the town square with small tables outside. Tea and coffee was brought promptly and we ordered two salads. Staff were polite and friendly but no follow up check at the table after the salads were finally brought ....after quite some time. Please correct me if I’m wrong but when I was a lad salad contained perhaps some cucumber,onions,tomatoes,lettuce of some description maybe some peppers and the main ingredient say chicken etc. Politely chopped lettuce a few chunks of tomato and the main bit with some sauce on did not strike me as very imaginative. The ‘Garlic’ flatbread was like warm cardboard and I guess they must have run out of garlic as there wasn’t even a hint . No salt and pepper on the table and none offered .Food was fresh but lacking any basic imagination.I must be getting old !

We came here twice, once for coffee, then having looked at the menu and hour or two later for lunch. I had Eggs Florentine and my friend Eggs Benedict. Both were good, and though it cost 50p extra having gluten free bread was not a problem. The coffee was also good and the cakes looked amazing. I'll be back to sample the coffee and walnut cake.

First time in Newark, found this cafe with outside tables in the market square. I had an amazing greek salad. Lots of it, with delicious dressing and beautifully presented. My husband had coffee and coffee and walnut cake, which he said were both excellent. Nice, welcoming helpful staff.

Bank Holiday Monday and off to Newark. We always used strays until we stumbled across The Bean and Vine , a little gem just off the market place. Staff really friendly, but the food and definitely the coffee is ace. Breakfast was excellent and a good choice and a selection of cakes to die for, and to top it all the prices were very reasonable. Try it for yourself you will definitely not be disappointed.

Only tried it for coffee etc., which was very nice, cakes appear to be home made, yummy, have not eaten anything more substantial but what I saw looked good, good friendly smiling service, recommended.

This cafe is nice enough with friendly staff. I tried their special Panini with bacon, Brie & red onion marmalade. There was a only a small piece of Brie in one half of the panini and only one rasher of bacon. I expected better for £5.95.

Small and friendly place, good atmosphere, lovely food, perfect for breakfast and lunch, great coffee

We love to stop off here for lunch on Saturdays after shopping in the market: it’s a little bit of Mediterranean in the midst of middle England. Their flatbreads are wonderful but you might want to share as they’re substantial in size. A good range of wines too. The owners are great fun too!Highly recommended!

Really lovely little place in the centre of Newark overlooking the market Square. We'd already eaten breakfast at our hotel but called in for coffee - next time we'll try the food as it looked scrummy. Lovely tasting, freshly ground coffee and very good value for an independent. Was given the choice of chocolate or cinnamon on my cappuccino and thought this was a nice touch...my partner was also very happy with his Americano. Looks to be well used by locals which is always a good sign and I really liked the community feel about it. Good selection of gins on offer there too! Will definitely try here again.

Great value & super service Central to Newark & really friendly Judi g by the interaction between staff & clients, this is a popular local breakfast eatery....

Amazing place, such wonderful staff, food absolutely fantastic, the coffee o my is absolutely the best coffee I've ever tasted

Centrally located in Newark, this small café is always welcoming, with a varied menu and appealing cakes and pastries, with vegan options usually available.

first felt let down, we went in at nearly midday.we were told breakfast up to 12.so we went elsewhere. second time we had coffee, samwiches, and cake all very nice.we will go again to try breakfast.let you all know if good.

Called in here for lunch. The cafe has a great position on the market place. Busy but we managed to get a table. Picked the rarebit with red onion marmalade and asked for the marmalade on the side in case it was overpowering or there was just to much of it. Waitress was very friendly and accommodating and said this would be no problem. We needn’t have worried though as the onion marmalade was, I think homemade, and delicious as was the whole dish. Really enjoyed lunch in this pleasant cafe and will return if I get chance.

We visited on a wet morning, sat outside with our dog, what a good find, pleasant staff.very good large toasted teacakes & a large pot of tea,it was pleasant sat there people watching.

Sat outside busy market square and music! It was lovely felt like we were on holiday! People watching and chatting. Didn’t even have to go and fetch our coffee.

Nice to have an reliable and consistent cafe to visit in Newark. The coffee and hot chocolate are enjoyable. We visited for a late breakfast, we had the breakfast flatbread which was incredibly good. The waitress was attentive and upbeat.We will be back to try the amazing looking cakes.

Have been a few times. Coffee nice, food tasty and staff are professionally polite. However, on the first 2 visits the pie was small and a bit greasy and the panini was very average. On the last visit I chose from the tapas and the food was lovely including a very tasty salad. The only criticism is that the staff need to remember that their conversations can be heard in the shop. All their debates about whether another member of staff should be sacked, the incorrect orders (most concerning where someone was unknowingly given pork in their food) and the following begrudging comments from the server after a waiter forgot to amend an order which was sent back. I will go back again as it is a charming place for lunch but I left feeling that if your staff don’t have a love for the intimate style of your business then perhaps work somewhere else or at least keep it to yourself?

Located on Market Place it is quite small but nicely furnished - a little a bistro. We had cappuccino & flat white, tuna sandwich, mozzarella & tomato. Rather larger lunch portions than we expected. Promptly freshly prepared and served well by attentive and friendly staff but not intrusive. Toilets very clean. Would happily use again & recommend to others.

Awesome breakfast in a stunning spot overlooking the market. We tried lots of variation and all were superb. We sat in the sunshine for an hour or more.

We stopped here on Saturday while the market was in full swing, still got a table and the service was efficient and friendly. Will definitely be coming back here

Lovely atmosphere and the cafe is very well presented and clean. Staff are very friendly yet Saturday staff could be more informative on the foods they serve. However I couldn’t say a bad thing:)

This is overlooking the Market Square and sometimes has a busker playing outside but always has activity coupled with the best coffee in Newark, great food from home made cakes to full breakfasts and quirky lunch options (vino is available)

Great little coffee shop . Busy despite it being a drizzly day . Staff charming nothing too much trouble . Coffee and cake delicious . Most enjoyable

Relieved to find this place on a hot day in Newark. The outside cafe opens onto the market square so plenty to watch on market days. Inside is small, possibly cramped. People tend to linger so it can be hard to find a table. Lots of people eating a late breakfast and lots eating eggs Benedict. Food on display inside suggested Greek influences so I'm very surprised to seeing a breakfast as the promotional photo. I only had coffee which was very good.Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Lovely setting as the sun was shining sat outside! Nice glasswear, good sandwiches v good size but don’t bother with the Greek salad!!! Disappointing to say the least! Large bowl of lettuce with a bitter dressing, cheese sufficient, but good luck on finding the cucumber & tomatoes! For nearly £7 Totally unacceptable. Stick to the sandwiches. :(

The cafe is situated on the Market Square with tables both inside & outside but there is not so much space felt a little cramped. It was quite busy (thursday) & the staff seemed to be rushing around before they took our order. The food was delicious well presented & good portion sizes.

We came out to Newark to get some relief of the stress of moving house!! It certainly worked. The staff here are fantastic, could not fault them in anyway. A waitress with short dark hair was so lovely, just what we needed. She helped us choose off the menu and cheer us up so much. My husband chose a tuna sandwich and I had a flatbread.Delicious food.Everywhere was spotless and tidy, we loved it. We will defiantly be back very soon. Thanks to you all.

Enjoyed lunch here, sitting outside on a lovely sunny day. Overlooks the market square, lots to see. Varied menu, food choices for us were soup, chicken pies (the April special and very good) and mushrooms on toast. We (4 of us) all enjoyed our meal. Sandwiches served looked very nice. Staff pleasant and helpful. Seems a popular place. Can recommend and would return.

Called in for a coffee and bite to eat. Friendly staff and nice ambience. Food a tad expensive but good quality. Will call in again soon.

In a town where there are many original and unique coffee shops this one stands out .It's small and has a lovely warm and cosy atmosphere with staff who want to make you feel at home. In a great position on the market square it has outside seating too although not warm enough for us to try it today. Only had a snack, hot cross bun and coffee but it was enough to experience the great service and quality of the Bean and Vine. Menu looked really good and hope to experience this on another visit.

We visited today for a late breakfast and a hot drink and we're greeted in a friendly cheery manner, a real pleasant surprise in this day and age. It was cold outside and the log fire was a welcoming sight, we were quickly given the menus and our order taken, we both had the Eggs Benedict, our drinks arrived promptly and soon after so did the Eggs, nicely presented and a real joy to eat. My pot of tea was also very nice as was my Wife's latte. A very nice experience, it is not the cheapest venue in town but you have to pay for quality and we found the service excellent and there were obviously a lot of repeat customers there, we will return and try other items on the menu.

The Bean and Vine has to be the best eating place in Newark. I have been going with my Mum who is 90 and my sister for nearly two years. The staff are so friendly and helpful and really make a fuss of my mum. The coffee is just perfect, they will go out of there way to make it just how you want it. We usually have cheese scone, the best anywhere. Soup is also delicious. It is only a small café but if you are prepared to wait a seat soon becomes available. Highly recommended.

Good food and drinks at reasonable prices with an extensive menu and friendly staff. What more do we need.We looked around the market place and this was the busiest cafe which is always a good sign. A small independent that serves better food and drinks than the multiples.We will definitely be returning.

Called in for a coffee. It is an independent coffee shop and the owners obviously care about their offering. We didn't eat on this occasion but the menu looks interesting.

Dined here one lunchtime after reading some very positive reviews. Well this little gem doesn’t disappoint.Its quite bijou inside, and I can imagining it can get very busy. There is some additional seating outside and several dog owners used these seats.We ordered one of the flat breads (goats cheese and caramelised onions)which was beautifully presented on a wooden platter and tasted delicious. The waitresses accommodated our requests for extra hot water with our tea for two and also gave us a glass of tap water. One of the ladies serving, was a true hostess and was friendly and chatty with the customers and checking if everyone was happy with their order. We really enjoyed our dining experience. Highly recommended.

We enjoy breakfast out with a good coffee - the coffee here is excellent but unfortunately we wont be returning. My husband loves his fried bread with breakfast, the first time we visited he left a happy man - although its not on the menu he got his fried bread. On the second visit the request was met with a look of horror...Ill see what the chef says...NO. The third visit was today - we were told that we couldnt have toast because the toaster was broken!!! Fried bread request was once again met with that OMG Ive got to go and ask the chef face....we work in catering...we know the look! Husband still didnt get his fried bread...we had hard bread, runny egg and black pudding that tasted like it had been cooked in old fat.. Now. On leaving we were asked if everything was ok? I wasnt rude but I left cross when my complaints were totally ignored and I was charged the same price !!! By the was, the people next to us had toasted muffins with their eggs benedict! What a shame.

Visited on a trip to Newark with my grandad as we were peckish around lunchtime. Lovely small place with a nice friendly atmosphere.We sat down and greeted by staff who were all welcoming. Ordered two lattes, and I went for the cheese scone warm and my grandad had some fruit loaf. The reason why I'm only giving 4* is because we had our food way before we even had our drinks without an apology. I know we only had some warm snacks but expected drinks to be out first as we ordered prior. Once we got them they were very hot and we had already eaten before we could drink. Quite expensive for what it is also but had a nice quick break stop.

Although my mum is in a wheelchair, we always manage, with the help of the great staff, to fit in at a table somewhere. The coffee is wonderful, a special roast with a gorgeous flavour.

Called into the Bean & Vine on a Sunday lunch after a walk along the river in Newark. Lovely friendly atmosphere with very attentive staff. Situated on the market place in the centre of Newark with seating available inside and outside, lots of people sitting outside drinking coffee with their dogs in toe.Food was very good, wife’s prawn salad had a copious amount of prawns in it and my open flatbread with goats cheese, sun dried tomatoes and caramelised onions was very tasty. Would definitely return when we are next in Newark.

Popped into town to do the Banking which can take an age but on this occasion managed it quickly so with time still on my parking ticket thought I would have a coffee and some cake Have been to the Bean and Vine twice before without any complaintUnfortunately on this occasion the coffee was not up to standard Seemingly very little coffee had been added to the milk!! The cake for the price was nothing special Such a shame how often this can happen You go twice fine Third visit not so good So do you go a fourth time? Should have said something but........

We popped down here Bank Holiday Monday lunchtime. The setting and outdoor seating was perfect for the hot sunny afternoon - it was like sitting in a little cafe in Europe. Service was not only excellent for us but we also noticed how helpful and thoughtful the staff were to other customers too. Only had light bites but they were delicious. Sadly we only spotted the very tempting G&Ts just as we were leaving. Doh! Will be back for those!

Very cool little coffee place that also does Gin and Prosecco.We only had drinks, I ordered a flat white which was good and you could tell it was made with 200 degrees beans. The milk was a little too hot though. Wife had a tea which fine.Nice independent business that offers a heap more personality than your usual high street coffee shops.Pop along and give them a try.

We sat outside and ordered a cappuccino and home made scone - the staff were very helpful and pleasant, lovely sitting area under stylish turquoise umbrellas, where you can watch the world go by in the Market Square (we sat watching Morris Dancing in the square). Great coffee and an equally good home made scone, thank you!Recommended!

Went there for lunch, Sunday afternoon, not too busy. We were there with my granddaughter who is 1 1/2. Got a table at the door and ordered our food. 1 prawn sandwich, 1 poached eggs with toast and 1 pancakes. It took an hour to come out. My eggs were in a bowl which had water in it and they were hard. Pancakes was 4 small ones and two rashers of bacon (£4.50 I think) prawn sandwich looked ok. I certainly would not go back, no apology or even told there was a wait for food. With a toddler this is not what you need. My 15 year old son said it was a ploy to make us buy more drinks. Simple food made hard.....

We had a very nice cup of tea/coffee and slice of cake here yesterday afternoon. We sat outside and it was nice watching the world go by through the Market Square. The slice of Lemon Cake was a good as it looked and was very moist which was nice, as a lot of cakes look good but don't live up to expectations - top marks!The staff were pleasant and welcoming and they brought our order out to us which was appreciated.I know a previous reviewer thought it was a bit expensive and not good value but, as a Londoner, I thought that £7.50 (or thereabouts) was pretty good for what we had.Well done and would recommend.

I felt like I had to write this after seeing a previous review. WellI tried the bean and vine and had the classic tuna sandwich, to which I found it to be as it was. A classic tuna sandwich, it was lovely fresh bread a good filling of tuna, nice little salad AND crisps. I feel that what you got was well worth the price.

The best tasting coffee in Newark!! Nothing is too much trouble. Staff are attentive and very welcoming. Ambience excellent and decor very tasteful. You have to visit The Bean & Vine and experience this little gem for yourself.

A quick coffee and cake for us!! Coffee was hot and good taste, cake was waist expanding and as you would expect!! Friendly staff.

Went there yesterday for a late lunch as they advertised the excellent '200 degree coffee' on the door. The coffee was great of course but the 'classic tuna sandwich' at £5.95 was made of two small slices of white bread filled with rather bland tuna mayo and a small side salad... so overpriced!Was not impressed by the waitress' rushed style either...

We visited twice during our day in Newark as the staff were really friendly and the atmosphere was great. Lunch was lovely, it was well presented, tasty and good value for money. We enjoyed it so much we called back for tea and cake later on in the afternoon. We were not disappointed, the chocolate brownies was superb !!

Superb coffee and cake. Sitting outside watching world go by on the main square. Can't be beat. Highly recommended.

Been here a few times, lots of regulars it seems which is a good thing, and there coffee is amazing. Lovely location and so much potential to go on and be an amazing cafe and bistro :)

We called in for a coffee on a very rainy afternoon to be welcomed by friendly staff. We only had coffees on this occasion, however it was extremely good coffee and we wlll return to the Bean and Vine for lunch next time that we are in Newark

Brilliant service, very effiicient and friendly staff. Had a lovely leisurely hot chocolate and mocha with a superb chocolate crunch cake. The mocha was not too sweet or too bitter and smooth to drink, perfect temperature too. The hot chocolate was chocolately and thick a proper one not a powder in sight......mmm well done ladies we shall come again they also have a points card for drinks so you get a chance to have a free one!

I have visited The Bean And Vine twice over the last week, we went Christmas Eve afternoon with family members and the dog, we sat outside and had lovely hot drinks, then Wednesday 29th Dec with my partner, I had the best Hot Chocolate ever, if you fancy something stronger to drink they do serve bottled beer and wine, if you are in Newark Market try this local place for something to eat or drink, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent coffee and hot chocolate and the food was great too. Asked for bacon to be done in a certain way and it was.

Visited for the first time today 11/12/16 my husband had the breakfast , can highly recommend, service was excellent , lovely atmosphere, great surroundings. we will be back 😀

Really pleasant cafe. The staff were friendly. I had a beer, Maid Marian by Springhead brewery. Really nice to see local ales in independent cafes. My wife had the house sauvignon which was beautiful. Really nice location however we visited on a drizzly sunday and so the market Square was empty. I'd like to think in the spring summer evenings the area would be much busier with people milling about. Didn't eat but the cakes looked good and the menu had some good choices. I'd like to see some patio heaters outside with a few more tables and chairs. It works on the continent and Newark has lots of potential to be a really nice cosmopolitan town. Haven't lived in the area long but enjoying finding gems like the bean and vine. Good job.

We visited on a cold Sat afternoon so we decided to opt for the soup. The soup was broccoli which was very tasty but the portion size was very disappointing !!I am a petite lady who doesn't eat a lot but even by my appetite basis I came out of the cafe feeling really hungry , the bowl wasn't full & we got half a piece of bread ! We have visited this cafe before on a few occasions & to be fair the food has been good maybe we caught them on a bad/ not generous day

There's a good selection of food & drink (including several veggie options) and they're happy to modify dishes to suit your taste. The staff are all very friendly & welcoming and so our lunch was a pleasant experince.

Needed a coffee and Cake mid afternoon on a Saturday after a walk along the river. Lots of places to choose from but this place had great kurb appeal. Very good coffee and a nice piece of coffee cake. It is quite tight for room and was quite noisy when we were there but it didn't spoil it at all.

Take a seat overlooking the Market Square, taste the real coffee and enjoy the sumptuous sandwiches. The only thing missing was the warm sunshine, but the warmth of the welcome and speedy service was good compensation and made this visit, like many others, memorable and enjoyable at the Bean and Vine. Give it a try you wont be disappointed - you may even enjoy the friendly chat and banter whilst sitting outside.

went for a lunch time snack with my wife and a friend it was ok but the sandwich presentation could have been better . My friend ordered a Pimms after seeing it advertised on a table flier but she had to wait a while because they did not have enough ingrediants eg some of the fruit . Staff are welcoming but waiter tended to hover a bit because my friend was taking her time looking at the menu and i think she ordered soup of the day because she felt a bit pressured . May go again but the jury is still out for all of our party.

Visited today and had a great latte and brownie. Great place to sit and relax. The staff and owner were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Will certainly be back. Thank you

I have been here a number of times and it has always been brilliant. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and there's plenty of choice on the menu.Centrally located in Newark so it's a perfect place to watch the world go by. Highly recommend.

A beautiful little place, set just by the market square offering lovely views of the town centre. It's lovely too see that they have retained a traditional looking shop front which compliments it's surroundings. The coffee is divine, brilliant staff and the food looks fabulous and smells delicious. Easily the best place for catching up with friends or just watching the world go by enjoying a drink and a slice of cake. A real gem.

What a lovely little place set in the best part of town. Place to sit and watch the world go by, and place I feel you can sit comfortable even if on your own, while enjoying the experience of the food and drink.

Definitely the best cakes I've had in a cafe , the brownie and flapjack were unreal , Only thing I'd slightly say is that I'd have liked a large latte in a round mug 👌😍
