The Crew Yard Cafe & Bistro in Newark and Sherwood

Tucked away within an antiques emporium this little jewel. From entering the shop you’ll be greeted by a lovely gentleman. The food was exquisite made to order not mass produced. The taste out of this world. Skill, time and quality ingredients. We were blown away. Will definitely visit again! Worth seeking out!

Excellent!! Tasty & fresh homemade food served in a very pleasant, laid back environment - inside, or outside in the courtyard. Lovely staff - very friendly & attentive, keen to cater for special dietary and vegan requests.

Amazing food, friendly and helpful staff. Surroundings and decor are very nice. Highly recommend

Very friendly staff and we sat outside soaking up the sun with a drink and a snack.

To call it a cafe or a bistro is slightly misleading, a tearoom would be more accurate. The only option of coffee is a cafeteria. Burger was said to be homemade, but the patty was clearly mass produced from frozen. Awkward staff, not very attentive. Hard to order desserts as nowhere to order and staff don't keep an eye on the dining room. When it did, had to get up and ask for a spoon. Lots of little things that let it down, it seems it's not been set up very well.

This was mine and mum’s first visit, we had the Easter special Blondie with ice cream, it was amazing. The cafe was lovely and clean, the staff were lovely and friendly. The outdoor courtyard is a little sun trap and dog friendly,plenty of tables and seating. We will definitely return.

Really nice place didn't go for food but had a coffee and cake 🍰😋

One of the best burgers I've had!!! Great little place, staff are really friendly but the food is something else 10/10

Somewhat disappointing, actually wasn't possible to order a cup of coffee! Only options were latte out cafetiere! To pay by card you have to go upstairs! We paid cash on the end. Unsmiling waiting staff all quite dreary and very cold we will not return

This is my favourite place to come for food with my mum. The food is delicious and there is such an amazing array of vegan food. It isn't just the food that makes this place the best though, the atmosphere and warm family feeling really makes for a lovely afternoon out!

Was in the area for the bike racing and chose here for a cafe stop. Both of us had a delicious breakfast. If you are in the area I would also highly recommend stopping.

It’s a pity it’s a small caffetteria. On top of that one has too book in advance, but we managed to find a seat ( I believe it was not busy and was a rainy day). But staffs are amazing, food takes a bit long to come, but you can tell it’s not like McDonald’s, quality food. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. We stayed in the garden which looks very lovely. My review might not be a five but it’s a 4.5!! Great place .

The veg platter was back on and brilliant! All other food was brilliant. It was very busy and the lady apologised and offered free drinks! The gardens are sublime! We drive all the way from Oxford to visit! Bacon for the dogs as well!

What a lovely place to stop. The breakfasts were just perfect, everything done a little bit different and great value too and afterwards you can browse the antiques, will definitely come back for lunch one day.

Been reading great things about this place recently from a veggie/vegan perspective and finally managed to drop in a few weeks ago. Very tasty vegan fully loaded burger. Loads of flavours! We'll definitely be back sometime soon.

My husband I treated my sister to a birthday meal and it was lovely, great vegitarian/vegan menu. Lilly, the dog, would also give 5✨ as she received a fresh ham treat

Really disappointing first visit. We were excited to go after seeing the photos but what we received on the platter was not the same as photographed, to the point of I even looked at the photo on the page to see. We had no jams etc. 4 small bits of bread not the 8 shown in the photos. Just looked totally different to the platter they advertised and unfortunately no one checked if everything was ok - had to ask for plates as platter was shoved in front of us after a older lady said is this yours quite abruptly. 2 in our party ordered large breakfast and didn't want egg or mushrooms, waitress said do you want anything else instead they agreed they would and 1 had a sausage and 1 a piece of bacon, usually when your ordered something in place of what you don't want it's a swap however when the bill came we found we had been charged £2 extra an item! The only positive was the staff did give us some yoghurt for our infant as we couldn't give any from the platter as it was lost under the toppings We basically spent just short of £55 on breakfast for 4 adults and an infant (who was sharing adults) that was average with poor service. We were waiting ages for someone to come over and had to chase up the bill, which again was a long wait. We didn't realise they had put the extra £4 on the bill until we were walking out and we didnt have time to go back and query it. We enjoy eating out as a family and have been to some lovely local establishments and had hoped we could add this to the list but sadly we won't be returning really disappointed.

An eye opening experience. We expected good food but to be impressed with Vegan food, from the menu, was very pleasant. A special thank you to Chloe and Jackie.

Very good food and interesting place to visit.

Fabulous and different to general mainstream menus ,that’s twice we’ve been in 2 weeks, and will be there again next week. Lovely daughter we understand is front of house, bubbly and very knowledgeable. This little gem is a must for any food lovers, with pricing exceptionally fair.

We called in at the antiques place on the way back from picking something up in Edwinstowe off Ebay. After a look in the antiques shop we thought we'd pop in the Cafe. It was situated on a sun trap courtyard with the option of sitting outside and a pink house in the Normandy style to the back (apparently this is common in the Dukeries and was built in the Edwardian period by th Estate. As I've got older I've become intolerant to dairy as it is a migraine trigger, so was relieved to fid they catered for me when I asked for tea with oatmilk. In fact they had a very extensive Vegan menu. (I'm not a vegan but dairy obviously limits me). On the dessert special was a vegan offer for a Knickerbocker Glory. Now I used to love ice cream and Knickerbocker Glories take me back to my childhood in Forte's or Pacitto's. Obviously something that I cannot have as a matter of course so as I treat I thought I'd gove it a go. It was Heavenly. All fresh fruit, vegan cream and ice-cream. My wife had a stuffed hot croissant. The staff were freindly, chatty and helpful and if we're ever passing we will call in again. I will also definitely be telling my friends about this gem.

Was tempted by the new spring menu & the large choice of vegan options. Went for 1 or 2 courses but had 3 as the options sounded so delicious. Staff very friendly, food freshly cooked & tasted amazing. I would definitely recommend. Very good at checking dietary restrictions & allergies too.

Wow, just wow Been a while since we visited to be fair but our experience today was outstanding. Soup and Quesadilla, was out of this world and a real change to other places with the menu. Having a nosey at the food to other tables looked fantastic, and later, all empty plates. The table service was exceptional. So pleasant and open to a bit of banter. Today , your team made 4 of us really welcome and most definitely will be back very very soon Have you made my room up ?

If you have not been to this hidden gem seek it out...beautiful courtyard in summer .. wonderful, friendly staff and AMAZING food...4u come at least once a week and never eaten anything that's not delicious and all cooked to otder..fantastic abd there's the lovely antique emporium tp browse after.

This is by far the best cafe/Bistro in the area..its a gorgeous courtyard or you cab eat in . The staff are fantastic.friendly chatty welcoming but what brings me in every week sometimes twice is the food its EXCEPTIONAL...I'm a meat eater but I don't miss it the vegetarian mood. All the food is home made tasty and hot...kitchen to table...treat yourself to the afternoon tea...like nothing you've had .no sandwiches but a vast platter crammed with tasty treats and desserts...stunning value and I think everyone should visit...youay have guessed...I love it

Pre booked afternoon tea for multiple people including a 2 year old which was mentioned when it was booked. No high chair provided for us as ‘it was not specially requested’. I’m sorry but this should just be assumed at that age. Nevertheless the food was very nice, but just wouldn’t rate the service in my honest opinion. Would I go back again..probably not for the initial bad 1st impressions. If you’re taking your child, don’t expect a high chair.

Awful visit Spoilt our birthday weekend away Poor service Rude Overpriced! AFTERNOON TEA FOR 6 £130 Charged for every tea or coffee! Didn't provide A highchair for 2yr old grandson Even though we booked ahead, left a £50 deposit We couldn't relax and worried constantly about him falling off adult chair! Have been to much better places They did not provide the service we deserved when taking family out for a special occasion

Great food and an Antique Centre next door, my two favourite things, I love it

Called here for lunch whilst staying at Warners Thoresby Hall. Food is good but mainly vegetarian. Service was good even though they were short staffed. Its attached to the building of Budby Antiques Centre so a nice place to wander round. Check opening times though!

Wonderful food. Thank you so much!

Absolutely amazing meal today. Full Vegan menu and great service. Will be coming back!

Antique shop with cafe/ Bistro. Cafe not dog friendly but outside seating in the courtyard very shelted

Great little place. Good value for money. Excellent Veggie & Vegan options.

Great food, cooked well, excellent diverse range, staff friendly and knowledgeable of diets, vegan and vegatatian options and antique shop attached is a good browse on a rainy day

Really enjoyed our vegan afternoon tea, it was marvellous.

Had lunch... Good food..Nice staff

A lovely place with tasty food in the flower covered courtyard.

Beautiful garden and we were amazed by the quality of the delicious food that is produced by the kitchen team. Really friendly service too. Highly recommended!

Nice food with vegan and vegetarian options. Friendly staff and an interesting antique and vintage shop to look round too.

Fabulous little gem. The service is warm, welcoming and friendly. The outdoor area is stunningly beautiful, what an amazing, creative gardener. Then the food arrives! DELICIOUS! Taste sensation, fresh salads, tasty dressings, very very nice. Good lunch good value for money.

Amazing food in an absolutely gorgeous setting. As a family of vegetarians it’s so rare for us all to get different meals but there is plenty of choice for us at this cafe. They’re also super dog friendly and bring our two rescue dogs ham which they adore !

My partner and I popped in for some lunch after spending the morning viewing some antique shops. Oh my goodness ... outstanding quality food, as good as any michelin standard food we've eaten. We ordered their homemade burger and pannini. Wow ... a wash with flavours and textures. The banana cake dessert, again delightful. And finally, the staff ... friendly, attentive and up for a giggle. Thankyou Crew Yard Cafe and Bistro. See you again soon panninni

Such a wonderful place Nothing too much trouble Food is so tasty Beautiful setting Hidden Gem Thank-you for a great lunch X

Excellent food Excellent setting

Lovely food and friendly staff. Stopped for Sunday breakfast, excellent quality with Yorkshire tea. Very interesting antiques shop ... couldn't leave without buying something.

Excellent and unique place to visit and eat. Excellent staff and a definite must to visit!

Handmade Burger was juicy, tasty and accompanied by a delicious salad and dressings. Ploughman’s was lush with happy salad, pickles and chutney really tasty. Ham cooked perfectly. What’s not to like about cheese.

The food was lush and the setting was cute, it was a cold day and I think this place would have been even better if we could have sat out in the courtyard. I took a star off because we had to wait a long time for our bill, not a major issue but it is a frustrating end to a meal.

Ate here multiple times. Came today for an afternoon tea (available if pre-booked), which was one of the best I've ever had. Catered for vegans, and 2 pescatarians (including one GF). Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent ploughman's, really enjoyed it.

Lovely lunch yet again, the fact that they where short staffed didnt effect the quality of the food here, lots of vegan options.

Lunch was really high quality. Tasty, fresh ingredients. The Haloumi Salad was outstanding, jam packed with veggies and generous helping of haloumi. Bowl was not filled up with lettuce as so often happens elsewhere. Tucked away on a side road but we’ll worth seeking out. Prices very reasonable for the quality.

We visited Budby Antigues over the May bank holiday and then went to take a look at the menu in The Crew Yard Cafe as it was lunchtime. We are so glad that we did!My wife had heard how good the food was but it surpassed what we expected. The lunch was really delicious and looked amazing when it arrived. I had the ploughman’s platter and my wife had the Happy salad with grilled halloumi.The waitress and staff were great and very friendly and helpful.We also took away a piece of toffee cake which was lovely as well.We would definitely recommend this to others and will be back.

Stumbled on this little courtyard cafe after a trip to nearby Thoresby Hall.. had a superb lunch in the sunny garden, freshly cooked home made soup, salad with zingy dressing snd fresh herbs, ploughman’s plate with home made relish and ham, amazing choice of veggie and vegan dishes, followed by home baked scones with cream. Was so good we ordered extras to take home with us. Would love to come back and work my way through this menu. A rare find!! Astonishing that there weren’t queues to get in here!!

Delighted we found this gem of a place. Fabulous food, staff friendly & attentive to dietary requirements including vegan/vegetarian. Finished with a wander around their antiques centre. Nice outdoor eating area. Will be returning!

Atmospheric outdoor seating. Great ploughman's lunch. Good coffee (cafetiere). Friendly helpful staff. Dedicated veggie menu.

Great breakfast, freshly cooked to order. Perfectly cooked and presented, definitely a great place to go for brunch or lunch

We were staying just up the road at Clumber Park Lodges and booked a breakfast here so we could eat then have a look at the antiques. Breakfast was delicious, my husband had the full English and I had the smaller version. The ingredients are obviously fresh and very good quality, the service was great and really friendly, the staff are coping with the current Covid regulations really well. The restaurant itself is lovely and the courtyard area would be a beautiful place to eat in nicer weather.If we lived in the area we would go regularly.

Very nice coffee and lovely cheese scones

Had lunch here today after looking around the Antique centre. It was amazing food for a very reasonable price. What a find on the middle of nowhere really. They should move to London, they could make a fortune. Hubby had veggie burger. It came in ciabatta roll which was huge. Packed with haloumi cheese and salad, choice of Brie, cheddar or Stilton as extra cheese. He chose Brie. Also served with a dish of coleslaw and some roast potatoes. Really, it was enough for 2 of us, we could easily have shared it. I had the open sandwich on tomato bread with goats cheese and salad. The attention to detail was amazing. Both salads were finely chopped with all sorts on them, celery, sweet corn, red onion, tomato cucumber, kiwi fruit etc etc! The dressing too was delicious. Balsamic base, I think. The whole thing was a taste sensation. How can she be raving about a sandwich, you’re saying? Because it is the very best sandwich I’ve ever had. The menu was quite large for lunch time. All sorts of sharing platters, sandwiches, panini ,salads. Plus lots of yummy home made cakes, scones etc. Even wine and beer if you wanted it. If you are staying at Warner’s nearby, please go and have lunch here. It’s 5 minutes away and you’ll get a much better lunch than at Warner’s.

We didn't stop for anything to eat, although it appeared busy and the waitress very friendly, and the food looked delicious. The reason being that the waitress serving food (nor the lady on the door of the Antiques Centre, for that matter) were wearing face coverings, whilst every customer we saw walking around the Centre had been until they sat down at their table. We have been to several eating establishments and this was the first time we've encountered this. It really was very disappointing to see, particularly with the increase in Covid infections so close to home. It all looked lovely and the Centre very interesting and not overpriced like some, but we will not be returning until things return to normal. What a shame. Please reconsider this decision to reassure your customers.

Good choice of traditional breakfast., cooked and presented well, Served with a smile , what more can you ask , we’ll definitely be back

My daughter and I visited the Antiques Centre floor the first time today and were pleasantly surprised at the quality and presentation of the food. My daughter had an open sandwich with caramelised goats cheese on Welbeck artisan bread and I had a panini with honey roast ham, mature cheddar and caramelised carrot chutney. They both came with a side salad dressed beautifully and so tasty. We'll definitely be back husbands in tow next time!

Love this place.I always call in when passing and have a coffee and usually end up having cake or a scone too. All homemade!. The service from the staff is second to none, always friendly, nothing is too much trouble.I have on many occasion had a meal in here and again it cannot be faulted.Good size portions. Well presented,piping hot and all cooked to order.Today I was served by Tia,and Debbie upsold me a scone when she brought my coffee to my table.No need to worry about Covid either, they have got it spot on for social distancing, I felt very comfortable.I would recomend this place to anyone .....FANTASTIC.Well done the Crew yard

Visited for breakfast with friends today. I made a booking and I was shown to my table. The staff were very friendly and happy. Tia served us and she was so helpful and the surroundings were beautiful in the court yard. We were greeted by Debbie who again was so helpful and friendly. The food was stunning and beautifully presented. It was nice and hot.We had the large breakfast, the breakfast wrap and a vegan breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you we will be back again now we know where you are.

Today I came here and had a lovely breakfast with my partner. The service was brilliant and friendly staff. Thank you

Excellent gluten free options in a lovely setting. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about gluten free and the beautifully presented food was high quality. We had a sourdough pulled ham sandwich, homemade cauliflower soup and a ham, mushroom and onion omelette followed by a variety of delicious desserts. We would be regular customers if we lived nearer. Highly recommended.

We called by to look in the Budby antiques emporium and what a treat! Had a look around and found some really interesting things. Then we went into the Crew Yard Cafe and had an amazing lunch! The food, atmosphere and service was fantastic! The food is outstanding and they seem to cater for just about any different appetite or food allergy! Well worth a visit and we shall certainly be returning!

We had a perfect morning strolling around the antiques and then went for lunch in the bistro! Really nice home cooked food at a reasonable price and the service was great, lovely friendly staff. The cafe is warm and cosy and has a homely feel with artifacts and pictures to look at giving it an interesting feel. Will definitely be returning especially for cake which is excellent!

Visited with my daughter this morning. Enjoyed freshly baked scones with homemade jam and cream, a lovely pot of tea, and a surprise extra of fresh strawberry milkshake in a shot glass. Safety measures are in place, but it was still a relaxing experience. We were made to feel really welcome. Highly recommended!

We found this place on trip advisor Good reviews Great little find within antique shopNice to have table service in such a small placeWe ordered toastie & panini with drinksNearly all tables filled up with 1/2 hour so popular placeDrinks arrived, more people etcFood arrived Presentation was something to work onBut made up with the quality of the food, nice thick cut ham for toastie & panini, good quality mature cheddar cheese Would go back as good quality home cooked foodThankS

We had a friend visiting from Canada for the weekend and after a walk in Sherwood Forest we visited the cafe for lunch. My husband had a burger and our friend and I had the ploughman’s with ham. All our meals were delicious and beautifully served. The staff are really friendly and helpful. It’s the second time we’ve been, the first time we called in on the off chance when passing, so glad we did. We will definitely be back!

Visited the cafe and antique shop recently. The veggie quesadillas with halloumi were lovely with such a mix of tastes/flavours. Having worked in catering it’s not often I have to check re items on my plate (seaweed and a particular type of radish - I was right about both - staff member knew immediately). Great service.

Delicious food, very interesting antiques to browse.

Having visited the Emporium and Crew Yard Cafe a number of times, it was time to share the goodness. This is a little gem buried in the Dukeries where you can get some absolutely delicious home cooked food and then browse away to your heart's content in the Aladdin's cave that the Emporium offers. Here you will find a range of items from the expensive and valuable to the economical and cheap (but one man's trash is another man's treasure etc.) plus the genuinely unusual! As for the food, the staff do their utmost to cater for all tastes whatever your dietary requirements are. The Spanish omelette is gorgeous and extraordinary value for money. The cakes are divine and sandwiches are filling and tasty. The staff are always friendly and helpful doing their best to ensure a good experience for you. This place is different, quirky and definitely worth a try. It can get busy at times and although there isn't a lot of seating, you won't have to wait too long. My only worry is that it becomes too popular and we won't be able to get in!

Pleasant food and a warm welcome. But this is a particularly, and perhaps surprisingly, pleasant place to visit on a nice day when you can sit outside. Lovely outside space. Check opening times.

What a find. I was amazed at the variety of antiques on display when we arrived. We had lunch at the cafe and were pleasantly surprised. We both had the pork & stuffing ciabatta with roast potatoes. It was delicious. Lots of choice on the menu & other food looked good. We then had a salted caramel chocolate brownie & rocky road shortbread. Both very tasty. We were given a loyalty card as we had spent over £15. Our waitress Terrie was very attentive. Will definitely return.

Called in here a couple of times whilst staying in Sherwood forest. Being dairy and gluten free I'd done my usual trip advisor research on where we could eat that would cater for my intolerances, my main problem eating out is finding desserts that are both gluten and dairy free, well the crew yard have certainly come out tops with that one and they are the best I've had really tasty, so wish we lived nearer we'd be regular visitors, will definitely be returning daily on our next break to the forest!

Staff night out food was passable service was good... Seating terrible... Perched on tall seating / stools... Might be trendy for drinking.... Not for socialising & eating

A friend wanted to call somewhere for a coffee, and suggested Budby Antiques. Having arrived we were met by Alan of the Antique emporium section, a very welcoming and sociable man. We continued to the Bistro cafe section and again was met by a pleasant and very welcoming member of the staff ( Terrie.) having seen the menu and quality of the wholesome food, we decided to have a dinner. The quality of the food was excellent, the service was excellent, the antiques section is very interesting full of different interests. It has become one of my favourite places visit and dine out, and not one to be missed. Definitely will return.

Lovely place a real gem. Friendly staff great service and lovely food and at good prices. Definitely recommend

We have visited the crew yard cafe a number of times as we are very fortunate to live close by. As vegans it’s so refreshing to have such a delicious variety of vegan food literally on our doorstep. The staff are always friendly and happy to help. The food is freshly prepared and you can tell the chef is really invested in creating fantastic vegan food! We love it here and would recommend vegans and non vegans alike visit, you will not be disappointed.

Having been to Thorseby for a walk we were ready for some food and I decided to try and find Budby Antiques, where I'd been told it was now possible to get a very good meal. My informant was right. The food was freshly prepared, well-cooked, beautifully presented and reasonably priced. There is a good choice, some unusual combinations, they cater very well for dietary needs and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. Added bonus is the browse around the fascinating Antiques Emporium after your meal. An all-round winner.

We have always drove past this place and the Budby Antique building but had a planned visit today and wasn't disappointed. What a gem of a place, large building with lots of vintage goods and antiques which are very well displayed along with a lovely cafe with great quality food. Was served by a lovely waitress named Terry who was very informative and helpful during our stay. Would definately recommend and have a return visit ourselves.

What a find this cafe is. Situated in a beautiful area close to Clumber Park and Thoresby Park, and set within an antique shop full of treasures. The staff are friendly and can’t do enough for you, it’s warm and cosy and the food is excellent. My family and I are vegans and the food is superb, with one of the best selections of beautiful dishes that I think I’ve seen anywhere on our extensive travels! It’s very reasonably priced and also has a wide range of dishes for vegetarians and meat eaters, all of the same quality. Brilliant place and we’ll worth the trip.

Really friendly and welcoming staff accompanied by amazing food, would highly recommend for a nice meal on the way back from a day out. Not much of a veggie but their veggie soup was gorgeous, and the service by Debbie was great!

After you've had a nosy round the very interesting antique shop you can have a drink and something to eat in this very pleasant little cafe / bistro. Friendly staff and nice food at a good price and there's plenty of car park space and it is set in a small rural village and if the weather is OK you can sit out in the sunshine. It ticks all of the boves

We were on our way to Sherwood Forrest and stopped to look at the antiques. We decided to try the bistro as it was more convenient than trying to find a pub. This was a fantastic decision!!!! Service was second to none and the food was delicious and very good prices. My son is a Vegan and lactose intolerant and there was plenty choice for him too. I now wish I had chosen a vegan option as it looked amazing. I got the feeling that people who have a vegan/vegetarian diet are regular visitors ???? We will definitely be returning; thank you for the warm welcome and gorgeous food.

We were staying in Sherwood for a few days and after a long walk in Clumber Park we wanted to have a good meal. We saw Crew Yard's high rating on Google so thought we would give it a try. My husband can't have milk so it can be awkward but this place had vegan options so it was promising. Both of us decided to have the vegan burger. Wow. The flavours in this burger are amazing. I asked for just salad on the side and was presented with an amazing selection of salads and pickles. Every thing tasted lovely and the staff were warm and very knowledgeable about food allergies. We went back the next day as well for another delightful meal. We would have eaten there every day if we had known about it sooner!

Oh my goodness. We popped in for a light lunch after visiting Clumber Park, and were totally blown away by the meal. We had the vegan burger and the vegan Chocolate brownie with ice cream. They were both totally amazing. The food was so good we're re-arranging our holiday plans for tomorrow to go back again! I'd give it 6 stars if I could.

Nipped in for some lunch after spotting this place on the Retford Vegan Information page and it's an absolute gem. Had a vegan burger which was honestly the nicest vegan burger I've ever had in my life, packed full of different vegetables and flavours. My girlfriend went for vegan bean and lentil casserole, tasted similar to steak in ale, slow cooked and absolutely delicious. They do vegan takeaway food at weekends and cater for events too, would recommend to anyone that's either vegan or fancies a bit of a change!

We had the cafe recommended and were so pleased we gave it a try. What a refreshing change to encounter such friendly, efficient service and such tasty food. It cheered up a drab, rainy day and we look forward to returning soon and also will look forward to enjoying the pretty outdoor eating area in the summer sunshine. Keep up the good work, word has obviously got round as it was good to see how popular it was in such a quiet backwater.

What can I say, had a lovely afternoon with family. Definitely recommend the afternoon tea if you fancy something a little different to the traditional. See you again soon 🎂☕️🍰😁

We went on Friday for their Can’t Believe it’s Vegan night and we were treated to an incredible spread of gorgeous food. It was to launch their vegan takeaway and catering services and they absolutely smashed it. Great variety of food, wonderful flavours and an abundance of it all. A fantastic night.

We go to Budby Antiques fairly regularly and know the food there is very good - we were told about the vegan taster evening about a month ago and have been looking forward to it since. This was to promote their new takeaway service and to raise awareness of the diverse possibilities available for vegans. What an absolute triumph, there was a lovely atmosphere and an air of anticipation as a very packed dining room were seated and nibbled away at some artisan bread with hummus, oil and balsamic and Caesar dressing. The food was laid out in the area by the kitchen in a buffet style, there was an incredible array of dishes, hot and cold, loads of colour and texture and some very innovative ideas, we tried a bit of everything and it was all incredible, I was blown away by the staffs attention to detail, even down to the little pots of pickles and pitta for mini vegan kebabs, there were roast aubergine slices, curry, lentil stew, roast vegetable wraps, filo parcels of aubergine, little canapés of mixed crostini (all delicious) but my favourite was the beetroot and mint?? Who would have thought to put those together but it was fantastic, we were really full and our plates were clean, then we were given a plate each of individual desserts which were rich, delicious and not an animal product in sight - the staff must have worked so hard to put this evening together and it was a real success, amazingly the food was complimentary and we only paid for our drinks, what a great evening, the food was knockout, the staff were lovely and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening, we will be using the takeaway service for sure, thank you Crew Yard cafe!!

I have called in for lunch twice in the last week and have to say the food is excellent. The staff are very friendly and a wander round the antique centre afterwards made the visit even better.

Arrived about 2pm on a balmy Saturday during a busy working schedule ...no tables outside as a family group of about 12 had descended, but a waitress brought one out for me in the sunshine. I ordered filter coffee and a cheese an onion toastie with salad and home made slaw.. then I waited, and waited...After 15 mins I asked about my food and was told 'it's on its way.' The party was being served (slowly) and I was getting hungrier! After 25 mins and having no coffee left I went into the kitchen and said that if it wasn't ready I'd leave it and just pay for the coffee, but I was annoyed because I'd wasted nearly half an hour and had to move on for my next appointment. How long does it take to make a toastie for heavens sake!? Apologies from head honcho lady who was very polite and said I should have been told there would be a wait, and that she'd be reprimanding the negligent waitress concerned. The food was now ready and there would be no charge...so I went off with it in a takeaway carton with one of their 'proper' forks and it smelt delicious. I did pay as I felt they had made up for their lack of customer service, but surely it would have been better to serve my toastie first then deal with the big order? There were four young helpers in the kitchen - so I think one of them could have handled my order whilst the others got cracking with the family food.... Anyway, it was probably the best toastie and slaw I've ever had, so well done team, eventually! PS I will return the fork :-)

Both me and hubby wanted to go out for lunch and had been told about the crew yard. We both had the ploumans and it was lovely the staff are very friendly and made us both feel very welcome the food is delicious and its a right little sun trap. We have both said that we are definitely going back

Fresh food. Cooked to perfection. Great for vegetarian and vegans with attentive staff and a lovely garden area.

Only had coffees food looked very appetising very welcoming
