The Copper Beech in Newark and Sherwood

Visited for Sunday lunch with friends, grandaughter and dog. Food was good. Served piping hot which is good. Nice homely atmosphere. Young man who served us was a delight. Charming, attentive and courteous. Very good value and will definitely visit again when in area. Only criticism is no cranberry sauce to accompany roast turkey! Easily remedied I think !

I had a cheeseburger this evening and unfortunately both the burgers were only cooked halfway through. I did tell the barman and had an underwhelming response. I asked him later if he had told the chef, and apparently the chef didn't know how it had happened. The barman said he was going to come and find me but he was too busy with other people. There were only a few people in the pub, so not sure what he was busy with. The apology was half hearted, no eye contact, and noo attempt to make amends. So I paid £13.50 for a plate of fries. Not all bad, my friends burger was fully cooked and the fries were fine. I'm just so disappointed at the barmans response. Anyone can have a bad day in the kitchen but it's how the problem is dealt with that makes a difference.

I went here today with my friend, we sat outside in very pleasant surroundings and had a Sunday roast, it was delicious! The young girl serving was very pleasant and friendly, the whole experience was excellent. We will definitely go again.

Came with family for food and drinks, six of us in total, we all ordered different meal choices. The dishes came out together, all looked and smelled delicious, tasted fab! Great friendly service too, attentive but not intrusive. Will absolutely be back!

Lovely Sunday lunch big portions roast beef really nice . Demi and Tom great hosts and very family friendly and go out there way to please.

Lovely, family-run pub with a superb beer garden, perfect for the sunny evenings to come. The pub has been recently refurbished and looks fantastic, unlike some that have a refurbishment and change to pretentious food and prices the new menu is great honest pub food and huge amounts of it! Everyone is always made to feel so welcome and Demi, Tom, their family and team have turned round a pub that changed hands so often previously to a great place to eat and drink in the last few years despite setbacks like floods that would have seen most others give up and they deserve all our support. Must get along for their bike night one evening also!

Had a blue cheese bacon burger and it was Fantastic. great food served by lovely staff. Good selection of beer and a proper local atmosphere. Tom and Demi are wonderful hosts.

Great food, family friendly. Had the hunters chicken and sooo good! We’ll be back for sure! Also came Mothers Day for the Sunday dinner, awesome food, nothing too much trouble!

WOW!!!!!!! Best Sunday dinner ever, everything cooked to perfection. Bar staff very accommodating If I could give you more stars it would definitely be hundreds

Visited this evening for date night dinner. Great menu choices. Had the gammon tonight was cooked to perfection. Visited with a fussy eater and they went above and beyond to accommodate changing there menu to suit . fantastic value for money. Lovely looking pub nicely decorated. Staff friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for us.will definitely be visiting again.

Absolutely great pub lovely pint staff are awesome Demi the land lady is the hostess with the mostess Tom the resident chief cooked us a steak baguette specially And couldn't do enough for us The new blonde bar maid very nice only first night and was a great addition to the team The little bar maid Kia very flirtatious but gets you making it rain with tips Mia a pub stalwart always has a welcoming smile and makes it a measure to visit

not been for a few months but just had the best sunday lunch, wish this place was on my doorstep. looking forward to getting down here in the summer on a thursday for the bike nights

Lovely looking pub and decor suggests it would serve decent food-very wrong. When we went to order the first thing they said was a list of pub foods they didn’t have from the very short menu. The menu was very old fashioned and ‘normal’, the food served was even less impressive. They charge the prices for food that an up market pub would but quality of a school canteen. The meat portions were large but under-cooked, despite us asking for ‘well done’. A gammon steak came with a mountain of cheap, dried up peas and chips, no garnish or presentation. The burgers had no garnish, as the photos on here show and certainly did not look like their advertisement. Their excuse was “we are in transition from 1 menu tip another, so running stocks down”. They had no eggs, chilli and various other staples you may expect. Why would you “run down” stocks just because of a menu change? I have never encountered this before. Such a shame. The pub/restaurant itself could be thriving, despite being in a village,if the owners wanted it to succeed. Good quality at reasonable prices attracts custom. Most definitely will not return.

We drove out to this restaurant - after checking Trip Advisor, their own restaurant and the menu board outside - all of which said they were open on Tuesdays @ 5 pm. We were there about 6 pm - walked in and asked if they were serving food. We were told “no” very rudely - like we were absolutely clueless. The barmaid went back to what she was doing - we asked her if anywhere else was serving food. She mumbled something unintelligible. We gave up and left. No explanation and clearly didn’t care.

Contacted by email to book a table for my sons Birthday as I wanted to try somewhere new. Had confirmation of the booking for the table for 4. My son travelled back from University to spend time with his brother. We travelled 45 minutes to the restaurant only to arrive and be told they were not doing food tonight. Explained I was unhappy as I had confirmation and was assured I would be contacted by the Manager which has not happened. Thank you for ruining my sons birthday.

Lovely food perfectly cooked , with welcoming friendly service . The Copper Beech is a great place to enjoy a family meal .

The food was unreal, I ordered a steak and it’s was delicious, we had a great meal & would definitely recommend! Thank you

love the new grill menu, the quality is superb and prices are really good. Nice presentation of the food and the range available from the bar is spot on. ill definitely be back

The pub looked so pretty and the girl behind the bar was really welcoming and helpful but unfortunately the food was pretty awful. My daughters had the veggie burger which had 2 unrecognisable patties both of which were inedible. My son had the pizza - extremely bland and tasteless as was the garlic bread. My sub was only part-baked from frozen. The skin on fries were delicious.

We've just had our first Sunday lunch at the Cooper Beech, and I have to say, it was excellent. We received a warm, friendly welcome from the staff, and were seated in the bay window overlooking the garden area. We were a little surprised that the pub wasn't very busy, as the food was promptly served and very well presented. We both chose the regular sized roast lunch, but the portions were ample with lots of roast beef and well prepared vegetables. Great value and very enjoyable. Recommended.

Fabulous food that is freshly made and fab portions also very clean and helpfull place Ryan was so helpful and lovely girl serving at table very polite. best burgers I’ve tasted in long long time and my mum and dad had pie and lasagna so fresh and very good food excellent pizza fresh aswell a clean and lovely pub

Visited at the weekend with my family. Lovely local pub, service really good and staff very friendly. Only thing that let it down was the lack of choice and the quality of the food. Would visit again but unfortunately not for the food.

Went with my mum for lunch. Lovely staff v attentive. Mum is GF and veggie (!) She had GF veggie pizza,cudn't eat all of it but staff v helpful n packaged it up for her to take home.I had the fish platter which was beautiful. We will be going back here, lovely environment, lovely staff and great food.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Food was lovely and not overpriced for what you get. Defo recommend.

Popped in recently for lunch and had a freshly cooked meal served by friendly efficient staff. Portion size was spot on and reasonably priced too. Would recommend highly.

Disgusting waited over 1 hour for food delivered burnt and overcooked we were the only ones in the only positive feed back is the waitress was lovely steer clear for food

Good was okay, burger was a little dry but was okay. This pub is always a bit up and down but is never awful. The garden is delightful.

Lovely food and great service. Very generous portions and no time pressures. It’s lovely to have this as a local and to be able to walk there for lunch.

We stayed near by and visited this pub on our way home for a drink, staff were really friendly, we wanted to book a meal the next night as our last night away and they were pretty booked up but they were so nice they fitted us in and we all had a lovely meal we could not fault and service excellent and they went above and beyond to make our meal/eve a lovely one, gutted this place isn’t on our door step as would def be our regular, will definitely visit again.

We went for a meal for my mums birthday, there was 15 of us and although there was a bit of a wait it was well worth it, all the food was really hot and all made fresh. The service was amazing and they couldn’t do enough for us, we will definitely be Viking again.

We'd booked the Copper Beech as part of a big family birthday weekend. As a big party (34), we'd checked ahead they could accommodate this and were told it would be fine as long as meals were pre-ordered. We sent through our orders over a...

Booked weeks beforehand as a group of 34 and pre-ordered all food. Yet we waited over 2 hours for our meal and were made to feel unreasonable for complaining about the wait as apparently we should expect to wait that long for food that is freshly prepared. Others in our party had their meal served to them over 30 minutes before us. Why hadn't staff prepared prior to us arriving? They knew what we were all having! When it finally arrived it was overcooked and dry as you can see in the photos. Would never return or recommend to anyone! This was booked for a special occasion and it was really disappointing. Some others in the party had the string from the meat served to them on their plates! Had we not been part of a group we would have left. I certainly would avoid booking a function or large party here as the staff clearly can't cope with it.

We travelled 20 miles to meet up with our family. The Copper Beech is a really nice friendly restaurant. We all had Sunday lunch with dessert which was delicious. It is worth travelling a little further from home for a nice meal. The staff are...

Large group of 35 so pre-ordered. The first 3 of our party received their meal after 1 hour 45 minutes wait, the last after 2 hours 40 (this included a salad). Unacceptable. Despite complaining, nothing seemed to hurry these people, they came up with numerous...

Been today had a lovely meal ,friendly staff very welcoming .Enjoyable engaged in conversation with us was really nice .

Booked a table for 3 people for 12.00 for today’s Sunday lunch, we entered the pub and had to find someone round the other side who told us to just sit anywhere. We sat at table 12 which was very sticky? No one came over...

This is the best that this beautiful pub has been for years. The current owners have put enormous effort and love into bringing it back to life in the most difficult circumstances having took over just before COVID. Many would have given up with what...

This pub has come a long way recently, the new owners are really making an effort to build its customer base from where it was. Nipped in the other day and was very pleasantly surprised. The only issue we experienced was a slight wait time...

The new owners have really made a great job with the food. Great service, choice and quality. The price is sensible and good value. The mixed grill and Sunday roasts are amazing. Good value pub food. They should be much, much busier that they are,...

We have recently moved to the area and stumbled across this beautiful little pub, everything was bang on from start to finish, the staff were all lovely, food plentiful & atmosphere light & bubbly. We will definitely return and highly recommend!

Had Vegan Lasagna which was very tasty. Just a walk away from where we live so really great to have somewhere to eat out that caters for different dietary needs. Will definitely be returning.

*HIGHLY RECOMMEND* Had a lovely Sunday lunch. Generous portions, great presentation, delicious food, very friendly and obliging staff. Will definitely be coming again!

Popped in Tuesday evening despite the recent bad reviews...what are they talking about? Had the breaded Brie for starter... to die for! And chicken leek and bacon in the creamy white wine sauce...amazing! Food fantastic, staff were polite and couldn’t do more for you. Am...

This pub has had a refurb and started really well. Then over the short period of time it's gone downhill rapidly.

We found the food was extremely overpriced for average meals. Vegetables a big let down on the Sunday lunch. The desserts were very bland too certainly nothing to shout about. The drinks very expensive and were charged for a drink we never had but didn’t...

We were just passing through the village and stopped for a drink, only one other person had the same idea. Found out why when a glass of wine and pint of lager came to £12:60 even the bar tender checked three times and seemed very...

Came here with my son and my friend. We both ordered the Pollo alla Crema. The food was hot and delicious. The tarragon sauce with mushrooms was really tasty.

Firstly I cannot believe the recent positive reviews are genuine on our expo ight. This used to be an amazing restaurant and I can honestly say I’m gutted with what’s happened to it. Went tonight for sons 21st birthday meal just 6 of us. Menu had 4 starters, two weren’t available, also they only one steak, and no sea bas and few other bits missing. This was at 7.30 on a Friday.. and at this point we should of seen the warning signs and walked out. We where the only other table in there so it wasn’t busy. We ordered anyway but what came out was simply appalling value for money. The hand formed burger, should read hand formed in a factory awful! The quiche was dry and tasteless and shop brought and either Tesco value or Asda basics range. The pate was ok, but 3 pieces of Melba toast about an inch big wasn’t quite enough but we did ask for more and they brought us two yes two more pieces, we just laughed at this stage. The Diane sauce on the steak was the same consistency as water and just made everything soggy. This used to be a great restaurant but the life and soul has been sucked out of it, and there is no atmosphere, character, or love anymore. The sooner this place gets taken over by some who knows what they are doing and doesn’t rip people off the better.

Just dropped by copper beach, lovely decor and great food since the revamp, would love to come again

New management at the Copper Beech have breathed life back into this lovely village pub. Separating the restaurant to run independently from the bar is a great idea, so diners book in at the restaurant entrance and order drinks from the table. Pleasant friendly young staff and a comfortable dining room makes for an enjoyable start to the evening. All you need now is good grub, and it doesn’t disappoint. Freshly cooked honest home made food and ample portions. The landlady has said the menu is under constant review and will be amended/updated as they establish those items that prove popular. For those who just want to nip in for a comfortable couple of drinks they have created a very comfortable little lounge area between the restaurant and the bar, with comfortable upholstered chairs where you can also relax after your meal. Then there’s the bar which is dog friendly, has a juke box and a pool table and proving popular amongst the locals. A great Pub resurrected, I just hope it continues to go from strength to strength.

Nipped in here for a spot of lunch after a walk around Rufford Park on a Tuesday daytime. We had three dogs with us so were advised we couldn’t sit in the restaurant (which looked nice), but were more than welcome to sit in the bar area. Nice variety of flavoured gins and bottled soft drinks. Menu was simple sandwiches, steaks, burgers and “pub meals”; we chose the Chicken and Stuffing sandwich and Blade of Beef. Food was good value for money, and looked appetising with it being presented well. Was very quite on the bar side (we were the only ones in) but the staff were very friendly and welcoming, who made a fuss of the dogs. Only criticism is the toilets, although clean, they seem very dated. Would visit again though.

I visited this pub (my local) today for lunch, hoping that after many changes of hand, it would finally be a nice place to go....wrong!

Oh dear. Never really rated this pub but has recently changed hands and booked as a last resort. The dining room was cramped and dark and once seated could not get out until the table next door had vacated. The food was disappointing. My starter of onion and chilli bhaji was over cooked but had a nice chilli hit . Small portion. Other starters of pate and creamed mushrooms were better. Roasts came plated with meat and everything but vegetables. Had to send veg back as it was cold. The roast potatoes were undercooked and insipid as were the Yorkshire puddings .The mash was lumpy and the stuffing was a lump of hard glue. The beef, as expected , was brown so I had the pork which was nicely done and not over cooked like the beef. Gravy was tasty and more provided when asked. Staff were extremely helpful but the addition of white gloves when serving the main course is a pretentious addition and completely inappropriate for a village pub. Needs to find its niche

Friendly traditional local pub with a pleasant atmosphere. Good selection of beers which are fresh and crisp, clearly well maintained lines. Good selection on the menu, had a nice steak salad. The beer garden is fantastic in the sun, lots of families and children playing.

The pub has changed hands, so decided to pop in to see if the food had improved!

Unforgettable experience recommending the latest new management team. Brightened up the previous dull and aged decor. The meal was excellent in proportion and temperature. The quality of the Steak and Ale pie was beautifully prepared with the meat as tender as any steak we have tasted. Will visit again soon. David - Sheffield

First I've lived local to this pub for three years and my God it's overdue a referb! 2nd it's been left to rot in the hands of children. Good riddance, the last punk landlord having avoided over year. Heard they had left thought give it another chance, met with the same miserable staff member over the fact their cash terminal stopped working and asked to walk to the local shop after offering 80% of the bill by cash. So for £2.40 you upset a local that spent 400+ a month prior to this on slaughtering of bad management. Well done marstons yet again. Won't be back until the witch is gone quite happy to go the lion with its new referb god it was better before it's referb than this hole lol I suggest you go and learn off the lion and reindeer then reopen! I wouldn't spend a penny more in this hole !

Generally a good pub early evening. Good selection of beers (a bit heavy on the lager side). Eaten here once, with others. All ate different meals. Presentation ok, but ingredients poor quality.

Visited for Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed. The meat was tender and the vegetables were all fresh. No frozen veg here. The staff were ALL pleasant and attentive and nothing was a problem. My request for extra custard with the jam sponge was also satisfied!

Just been here with our 2 children (4 and 8 years old). We were really impressed with the place and wpuld definitely recommend it. We walked in and were greeted by a lovely lady who served us our drinks and was really welcoming especially with tge children. Sometimes you can feel uncomfortable with children when they are the only children in the pub but definitely were made to feel more tgan welcome here.

Having experienced the new landlords daughter giving me a finger gesture on leaving 10 months ago, given this followed an appalling customer interaction from her farther, it is no surprise to me that Marstons see no future in this partnership. I will certainly look forward to frequenting this very pleasant put on their exit.

Took the family for bank holiday dinner.

We have just come home from an excellent Sunday lunch! It was our first visit for 5 yrs and we couldn't fault anything. The staff were efficient and friendly and the food really tasty. I had Hunter's chicken which was delicious. We also had a roast beef dinner and sausages and mash. All great. I particularly liked the fact that the veg that came with 2 of the meals were different. Not just one type for everyone. I also noted the children's menu. Although we didn't have children with us this time I always check and was happy to see they were serving 'proper' food and not the average junky kid's menu that you often see. All meals were very reasonably priced and a good wine list (although on this occasion we had soft drinks). We will definitely be eating here again! Thank you.

We were away for new year near here and called for a meal. Very good food I had a lovely gamon on one visit and then had steak and ale pie if your near call good food with good service can not recommend enough.

Been a few times now with the other half, lovely food, warm welcoming atmosphere, very helpful staff :)

On completion of a long, cold walk it was great to receive a warm welcome and reserved table for our walking group. The staff quickly took our orders and supplied drinks whilst our food was prepared. The menu offers a range of good pub food and everyone was happy with their selections. We would most certainly use this pub again.

Absolutely fantasticooooo. After visiting for food 4 times in past couple of months we thought we must come for Christmas dinner, absolutely fantastic food,service, the whole shabang. Deffo coming back. Good prices. Very welcoming. Thankyou to all you staff for making our Christmas extra special.

Our first visits - twice in one week - to The Copper Beech since the new managers took over in the summer! One of the nights was very busy with large parties having their Christmas meals but the staff coped extremely well and our service was not affected. The menu hasn't changed too much, thankfully, the staff (some new) were excellent - attentive, professional and friendly - the food was very good too and still brilliant value. Any Issues following the arrival of the new managers reported by previous reviewers may have been 'teething troubles' and seemed to have been sorted! Will definitely go back again - soon!

We have visited several times , always been very good, food excellent, service also good, lovely staff, very welcoming village pub

My partner and I stopped by as we passed through. A loverly pub with lots of charm. We each had a loverly meal and with drinks it only came to £16. Would stop by again if we were passing through :).

We recently visited the copper beech... The food was really nice , All the staff were lovely and made us very welcome .

Food was very nice. Staff was ok got a little mixed up with food orders but there was 20 of us in total so i guess it was to be expected being as only one waitress was sent to deal with us all..other than that cannot fault it

Good beer garden and decent draught choices and friendly staff. Does food as well but haven't eaten there yet

A second visit since the new owners took over, the food was much better as was the service. We were in a large group and sampled a fair amount of the menu, which was enjoyed by all. Pleased to report the substantial improvement.

There's a general lack of customer service from entering the front door. The pub was relatively quiet with only 3 tables occupied. We had made a reservation and couldn't find any staff, even the bar was deserted. Eventually a young girl of school leavers age appear in the bar whom pointed to an area in the lounge, so we went off to find our own reserved table. Within 5 mins another slightly older girl appeared and took our drinks order and handed is menus....and then the wait started...20mins before someone came to take our order and then 35 mins before food arrived. Bearing in mind the pub was virtually empty give me the impression this place has some real issues ewith the capability of the staff employed here. If this place is going to survive then the staff need either training or replacing.

Got to tell you how different The Cooper Beech is since the change of landlords. Atmosphere exists!Staff attention is great and engagingFood tasty, served hot, clearly fresh.

We go out as a group on a Saturday night and thought we'd steer away from the usual themed pubs and try' The Beech ' and we weren't disappointed. It was excellent, one of our group is a difficult customer and he said his fish was superb! Definitely going again. xxx

As a regular to my local we did get used to local staff, however the new menu is good, range of drinks good, food was good but the two members of staff on were just poor :/ the girl in particular, no personable skills at all, totally got our 3 drinks mixed up and made no attempt to rectify. Poor poor service :/ needs sorting out please !! It's a local pub for local people.. not sure why you would get rid off existing staff that were good !!!

The Copper Beech truly had dropped off, the previous landlord regularly defended his poor service and produce to an abusive level... HOWEVER NOW UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT.... the food, the service with a smile and nothings too much trouble attitude will surely pay off.... Food was delightful, staff all attentive and landlord and lady clearly out to impress..

Visited the Copper Beech on late Sunday afternoon, looking forward to anew menu and managers. We wasn't disappointed, although the Sunday dinner option was finished the new menu options were great and the new look menu was more appealing. Family meal, all had different dishes, chilli sea bass, bangers and mash and a huge mix grill. Everyone was very satisfied, hot food, tasty and pleasant waiting staff.I meet the new landlady before I left and had a chat about the pub, menu and events, she seems full of enthusiasm just what our village pub needs...

It is sad to say but our first experience of the place under the new management was bad. I tried my once favourite dish of the burger and it was poor. The quality of the meat was bad and it was burnt. I suspect McDonalds offer better. The other dish tried was at best average.It felt like a lower end chain pub offering.The staff did try, but it felt like they had not worked in hospitality before. We will try again and hope it improves.

We had a fantastic experience at the Copper Beech. When we arrived at the bar we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. The lady behind the bar gave us some recommendations from the menu and so we both chose burgers based on this. The pub has a lovely outdoor seating area so we chose a table outside. The service we received once at our table was great. When the food arrived it was clearly fresh and made with high quality ingredients. We were certainly glad we followed the recommendations! The sweet potato fries were also some of the best I've eaten. We will definitely be coming back!

Lovely olde pub, serving excellent home made food which is great value for money. Wish this was our local. Been here a few times after work with friends, and can definitely recommend it. Lovely staff, and really friendly.

I enjoyed Great Fish and chips medley in wonderful surroundings with a mate. The service was great and it is generally a pleasant place to sit and eat.Well worth a try before the pleasant current owner moves on, who will be missed. Support your local.

Third visit and each time has been lovely 'pub grub' well prepared and presented with good sized meals. Traditional setting and friendly environment. Shame the Lamb Shank is not now available as was the best I've ever eaten on first visit being very tender and generous cut. Definitely return. Only downside was heating could be turned up a bit on a chilly day. Other than that is a good place to eat and not overpriced.

the food was excellent home cooked & fresh service was really good with cheerful attentive waitersambience lovely we ate in the library and thought it was fab slight negative & certainly wouldn't stop me recommending or attending again was the quality of the napkins When the food/service is that good please spend a wee bit on napkins & not kitchen roll x

Went with my 23yr old son for Sunday dinner. Lovely meal with big portions. Staff were all nice and polite. Good atmosphere with a nice open fire that was burning nicely. Great value for money.

I really wanted to leave a good review for this visit by my wife and i, but sadly the food let us down.I ordered Steak and the Sirloin steak was atrocious. I asked for medium rare, and it came medium to well done.I also think that it must have been a really cheap cut as it was extremely chewy and very very dry.The onion rings were a real mess and possibly the worst i have ever tasted.My wife ordered the scampi and it was dry and so crispy she struggled to get her knife in. When she did, it tasted foul, really fishy and i mean stale fish, so stale you could smell it!The young man that served us was pleasant enough, but failed to come and see if our meal was ok and when he came to collect the dishes, i told him the meal wasn't very nice and although he apologised, i felt he wasn't really interested. So all in all.......disappointing!

Visited again, marvellous food, nice drinks, brilliant customer service. Would recommend to everybody with a large appetite who likes a full belly (smaller dishes are available!)

Love this pub... hopefully we will be able to go more regularly now... the food is delicious... Lovely staff.. and a great atmosphere.. what more can I say!! ❤️

I visit here every Thursday with my girl friend and have tried every meal on the menu, and please believe me when I say, I have enjoyed each and every one of them and will continue to do so for a very long time I'm sure.

Great freshly cooked hearty food at our lovely local! the carbonara is to die for! Fantastic value for money; go and sit by the fire for a few after dinner drinks, lovely and cosy. Accessible for wheelchair users and an accessible loo. Looking forward to our next visit - see you next week!

Spicy Mushrooms, pork steak for hubby and chicken chassuer for me. Love it here. Great food, great service. The lunch during the week is amazing, two courses for £6!!!! .

This restaurant is about 3 to 4 miles from the Centre Parcs, Sherwood site and is well worth a visit. We visited mid January for Sunday lunch. We were appprox. 30 minutes late, arriving about 2.30 pm. This did not affect the quality of the food or service even though it must have been close to last lunch servings.We ordered a variety of 7 meals between us and all were tasty, good quality and generous size portions. The staff were friendly and polite and the restaurant room was spacious and inviting. Not expensive, very good value.We had a very enjoyable meal and would recommend this place, particularly if you are staying at Centre Parcs.

This was our 2nd visit - and why not, the first was so good, but this one was even better! The platters were excellent and very tasty, hot and plentiful. The staff were very attentive without being in your face. Excellent value for money and yes, we will be back. The artwork on the walls are pretty good too and some are painted by the owner's son. Once he gets around to signing them, we'll be back to buy one or two and have another good night I'm sure

After a walk, our group look for a good lunch, preferably not too expensive, and we normally pre-order which is convenient for us and the pub. Nearly all of us had the special 2 course meal which was really excellent value and attractively presented.

Moved to Bilsthorpe a few days ago & tried the pub meals rather than cooking for the first night. Great food, large portions and good service. I had steak pie - large, full of tender steak and a lovely pastry lid with red-hot chips & mushy peas. My wife had sausage & mash - 4 butchers sausages which she says were delicious.Going back tonight for curry night - can't say better than that!

I am writing a review again after taking friends to the Copper Beech for Sunday lunch. Great staff, amazing food and such a lovely peaceful atmosphere.

We have now been to this pub many times this year and each time it has impressed. We have been as a couple and in small and large groups and our experience has been good every time.The staff are incredibly friendly as is the landlord. It is a friendly local pub, and one that is now our local. The atmosphere is very pleasant and we have never felt rushed to complete our meal.Value for money is incredible and the quality for the money is astonishingly good. We will keep going back and our visitors always want to go back.

What a wonderful restaurant this is! Superb countryside surroundings, warm and friendly atmosphere, homely and welcoming place, complete with open fire!We went for lunch last week and had a meal which included a starter and main course for £6, our expectations were exceeded by the quality of food which is absolutely delicious. We will certainly be visiting again! This place is a brilliant example of how a countryside restaurant should be!
