The Fox Inn in Newark and Sherwood

A lovely welcoming place . Good food and the staff really friendly, even to our dog 🐕. Would definitely recommend 👍💯

Quite possibly the most welcoming pub I've ever been to, fives across the board.

Dropped in while passing. Great sunday lunch served very quickly

Lovely community feel about the place, immaculately clean and very welcoming. Dog friendly, amazing food, great prices, and a lovely outdoor section under a marquee on the grass for the warmer days. There is a fenced playpark for children, and even a pizza oven around the back as well (though we didn't look at that this time around). Staff were super friendly and made us feel like we'd found a piece of home - free pool table and darts as well, we will definitely be back.

Stopped off with the family. Pleased with the food, especially with the portions served with the kid's meals. Kids play area is a plus 👍.

What a smashing pub. £10 to park the motorhome overnight with ehu. Excellent and friendly service. We were even served our evening meals in the motorhome ! The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. Well worth a stay.

Campervan over night stay. Great food busy road quiet over night. Bear garden tent covered area, ideal for local stop over walk on river about 3 minutes away.

A lovely place full of character and pleasant staff and lovely food

Ordered a caramel cheese cake off the dessert menu, the menu did NOT state that there would be nuts on it. When it came it was topped with nuts so I went to the bar to ask what nuts they were as I have allergies to certain nuts. The bar staff didn’t know what was on it and got annoyed at me for asking. The one with red dyed hair was partially rude to me about it and told me “it’s your fault for not telling us you had allergies”. I said I should have been asked if I had any before ordering and that it should have been stated on the menu clearly. She and another lady tutted at me and stormed off into the kitchen. I was left with no clear answer on what nuts they were and felt like an inconvenience for having allergies. No one with allergies should be made to feel like a problem when eating out. Do better. The chef came out to apologise on behalf of the other staff, but by that point I had already given up and no longer wanted to deal with the drama caused by a few nuts on a cake.

Very good food friendly service great little snug

A cosy friendly pub with traditional decor and many fox themed decorations! The pies we had were hot and tasty served on hot plates too. We enjoyed our visit and would visit again.

Normally a fan of the Fox, however if a member of staff is going to make fun of a customer when getting a drink from the other bar perhaps she should do it out of earshot. Everything else was great. Shame, won't return out of choice.

Nice pub with flat carpark for a good stop over in motorhome, food good, service great and friendly

Lovely country public house. Very friendly young landlady, good food.

Nice place had a drink there after a walk with moor and mountain group .

Great friendly service and delicious food and good range of options

Only had a drink but nice place and friendly staff

Lovely ware friendly atmosphere, we had a light bite and it was very filling 😋

Lovely little place staff are very accommodating and the food wow amazing fresh cooked to perfection hat off to the chef!

Very friendly place, great food. Definitely recommend the pies.

First visit on a quiet Saturday afternoon with my wife. The single barmaid served 4 regulars before even bothering to acknowledge us. No IPAs on draught (barmaid looked confused when I asked) and only Spanish sauvignon blanc. Could not recognise any of the wine brands so had doubts over the quality. Decided to leave as just wasn't feeling the love. Large outdoor beer garden. Atmosphere seemed nice too.

Popped in as we were staying nearby. Great feed, nice pub.

Stunning place, great atmosphere, lovely food.

Has a great sunday lunch here recently. Elderly relatives weren't keen on the couple of 'friendly' foxes and made for a some awkward questions from the kids but food was amazing. Staff very friendly. Some nicer looking tables in the raised restaurant area might be nice, or cover the current ones with nice tablecloths. Also allows dogs inside so another plus to remember in future.

Stayed 1 night in our motorhome. Didn't have electric hookup but was available for £10. Had a lovely home cooked meal. Great communication when booking and welcome to the pub.

Pleasant enough staff, friendly but somewhat stand-off-ish a few times. The atmosphere of the pub was nice, though; homely and nice decor. The only thing that disappointed me was the dining area set up. The tables were set up a bit like a canteen more so than a restaurant. That being said, the food was absolutely lovely, and we had no complaints about the service itself. Definitely would recommend it, and we would like to go back when the pub is a bit busier and more lively!

Great pub, lovely atmosphere. Small menu but the food was gorgeous

Lovely food with a broad menu that has something for everyone (braised blade of beef, battered haddock; Veggoe chilli & lasagne all excellent) friendly service; excellent choice of different flavour gins. Reasonable prices too.

Nice pub and pretty good food however the building is a bit tired and dated. Wanted an outside table but there was only one and a little on the pricey side for lunch but enjoyed it anyway.

Took my fiancée there for an impromptu birthday dinner. What a delightful place!! Best food, great atmosphere, great service

Bar maid was wonderful & helpful (Jordy lass) Food amazing. Always a pleasant place to visit 🌟

Really nice stop over. Good very good will be going again very soon

Friendly atmosphere,didnt eat but menu and choice good

We dined at the Fox Inn yesterday Excellent building / decor, excellent atmosphere, good food, good staff, spacious car parking. Overall it did seem a little pricey to be rated 5 stars, but 4 stars is very good nevertheless! We'll be back!

Great pub, friendly staff and really nice food

Called in to the Fox on our way to Derbyshire, purely on the off chance, for lunch. The young lady was friendly, professional and helpful. My wife had scampi and I the ham & eggs. Well cooked, generous portions and served quickly. Great place to stop for lunch at a fair price.

We have a arranged end of year shoot dinner. I understand prices go up. But how can you justify. £31.95 for a three course, when you look at the menu and when you price each individual course it comes to a total roughly about £25. The Christmas meal was £24.95. When asked they have reduced it by a pound . Arent they considerate . I won't be attending this meal. When you have about 40 people attending and spending money on drinks too, someone is making a handsome profit

Lovely place and lovely helpful staff.

Lovely food very tasty good portions

Two different cask ales. Timothy Taylor and Speckled Hen. Dogs are allowed Three separate bars and an eating area. Catering, party markey out the back. Decent sized car park.

Food was amazing with very nice staff

Really fab friendly staff, very good food and one of the best pints of beer I’ve ever had.

We got there on rainy Sunday when other places were fully booked and we were so glad we did. Amazing little cozy place, with fireplace. We ordered Sunday roast and it was heaven 🥰 absolutely amazing food highly recommended.

We were here for a Christmas meal. The food was superb. The staff took great care to look after us, and we were a big group, and were simply lovely. Definitely recommend.

Best roast I've had at a restaurant!

The best Sunday dinner we have had in years! Would highly recommend!

The only reason I couldn't give 5 for atmosphere is we were there when the surrounding area was flooded, and therefore a lack of clientele. However, top marks for friendly people, the food and the value was good, we had dinner here. Would definitely go back.

A great stopover for campervans as they offer everything you'll ever need. A nice welcome and good food

Quiet, clean, good, quick service . Very filling well cooked food.

Amazing the best king prawn linguine I have had for ages xx lovely girl behind the bar can't wait to go back 😘

Great location! We had a very nice time in this inn and had a delicious meal. While paying at the bar we had a very nice conversation with the lady behind the counter. We wish the pub all the best and would be happy to come back next time we visit England. Best regards from Katrin and Uwe from Germany

Great staff and a lovely Sunday lunch!

The chicken Sunday meal was faultless, I would have paid double it was that tasty, hot and delicious. My wife had the pork Sunday meal , she couldn’t fault it, absolutely delicious we couldn’t eat all of it.

First time visiting today . We visited as my sister in law was visiting from London and we were dropping her off at Newark train station. We were a bit dubious to start with as there were no cars in car park. We ordered sausage and mash , homemade lasagna and hunters chicken . The food was absolutely lovely and well worth the money ! Only criticism is the cobwebs in the dining room from all the dried hops and skylights but other than that , a very lovely dining experience!

Sadly didn't quite hit the mark. Stopped for food and went into the main bar/restaurant area. Great ceiling area with beams and hung hops which look great and fit a pub theme, but the area in general just lacks warmth and character. Even the dining tables are out of place and more what you'd expect to be outside or in a cafe. My meal (the Fox Burger) was tasty, but just a little too salty for my taste, that said, anyone who salts their food would be OK but I never salt my meals. My partners meal had overcooked pastry on the pie, and the green beans were under cooked, so based on price, taste and comparison with other similar places sadly I can only say OK and not a wow that makes you want to return. Overall, OK, but I'm looking for better than that.

Really nice little pub , popped in by chance and glad we did

Lovely food and service with a smile from Corina ☺️

Great pub didn't get chance to try the food as they had stopped serving. Friendly staff great outdoor seating area, dog friendly children's play area. Will call Again and hopefully try the food.

Food was absolutely beautiful. Very fast coming out as we pre ordered for a big group. Kids meals were big portions too !

Best sunday lunch ive had for a long time. Cheese cakes are beautiful.

Called in for lunch and chose the meaty sharing platter. Everything was well cooked and very tasty. However, we found the selection of accompanying dips bizzare. Guacamole, salsa and soured cream is fine with nachos but with chips, sausages, wings, duck rolls etc ??? we should have had dips that complimented the food. We asked for ketchup and were given 3 sachets of unbranded stuff. Please change your dip selection and it would be a great plate of food.

Very popular but as we went on a week day was less busy food was reasonably processed and good portioned and nice what can I say a positive experience will go again thank you 😊

Love this place. Loved it as a bar. Loved it a place of solace. Now a wedding venue with the central courtyard roofed over as a warm wedding venue. Couples can even be wedded there ,as opposed to just wedding reception venue. Recommended. Lovely beers as well.

Great village pub. Quality freshly cooked food. Good range of beers.

Nipped in on a Thursday lunch, food was OK but a little dull, no one in, but food was ok

Good size food portions. Excellent service and atmosphere!

Very friendly, welcoming and well maintained pub serving excellent food.

Amazing, biker friendly, dog friendly, amazing food and great parking. Nice quiet location ☺️

Very friendly and accommodating, nice play area for toddlers and kids

Lovely Sunday lunch , well treated by the staff

Me dale and Alex have been popping in here on way home from work . and we love this place ..its our new pub of the yr 5 stars all round great venue

Always driven past here when I work around the country and tonight realised I was staying just around the corner so I thought I would give it a go. The staff are very pleasant, it was a warm welcome the food was absolutely lovely I had brie to start and then the fox inn Burger for mains. Everything tasted like it was homemade with a perfectly seasoned burger which if it is brought in I want to know the supplier as that tasted homemade and perfectly seasoned will definitely be visiting again. Prices were reasonable and genuinely a great little pub.

Probably the best Sunday dinner I've ever had eating out. If I had to be picky, I'd say the roasts went done enough, but they were still nice, and the Yorkshire pudding & gravy was tip top. Thank you very much.

Stayed over in our motorhome. Staff very helpful and friendly. The food was great, especially the belly pork! We will be back!

Great food (Steak and Ale pie delicious) and 2 of my favourite beers, Timothy Taylors Landlord & Old Speckled Hen, on draught! Friendly staff, huge car park, lovely village just outside Newark. What's not to like!

Popped in whilst the daughter had a 'do' down the road for a cheeky pint and a burger. - service, excellent. very polite young ladies. attentive, working with purpose. Good stuff - atmosphere. could be tidied up here and there, but ticks the "local pub with food" box. the raised dining area wasn't particularly welcoming , so went outside ... a nice and tranquil spot - Food. Fox burger. damn fine, melted cheese, decent bacon and a very well cooked Burger.(Thick, juicy and perfectly cooked.) Skin on crispy chips, lovlely Home made onion rings, not greasy, and very crisp..... lovley I'll definitely be back. Thank you for looking after me Fin

Went for a lovely lamb roast or so i thought, meat was tough, roast potatoes carrots and yorkshire pudding was all hard, also found a piece of string from the meat on the plate, won't be returning in the near future

Quality food at very reasonable prices.

We called at The Fox on Monday 5th June for lunch but having waited for 20 mins for them to open were told that they had no chef. Disappointing as I have eaten there before and the food was amazing. Would definitely call again when I'm travelling that way.

Food was good and friendly service but tables looked a bit like canteen furniture. A few tablecloths would have added a bit of sparkle

Staff very friendly ☺️ food was great

Lovely food, shame about the kitchen closing at 8pm.

Had a couple of pints with my mum here on sunday 4th june 2023....on a glorious ☀️☀️☀️☀️ sunny evening! 😉👍

Great pub, we stayed overnight in our campervan van, which wasn't a problem at all. The staff were excellent and service second to none. The two girls behind the bar were very efficient and friendly. We also had an excellent meal, the belly pork was beautiful. Will definitely be going back.

Beautiful food, good prices. Well worth a visit. Xx

Corrina welcomed us on arrival and was amazing and friendly throughout our stay in fact as we're all of the staff. Food was wonderful and plentiful much enjoyed by myself and my wife. Thank you Corrina your hospitality is amazing. Best wishes until we return Stuart and Louise

Really enjoyable experience but rather a long wait for food. This was down to a staff shortage on the night we went in.

A lovely find on our way back from the east midlands outlet. Excellent food and drink great service too. Highly recommended.

Stopped at The Fox Inn, with my wife on our way back from Derbyshire. We were welcomed by a lovely young lady. We ordered our food and drink. Our food was of a standard. Would fully recommend stopping there if passing. We will stop again when passing that way

Lovely friendly pub. Great staff who were so helpful and fanrastic value for money food

Waste of time. Their website said they served dinner until 8pm on a Sunday. I arrived at 7.30pm to find they'd already closed.

Gorgeous meal had by all... Ribs - burgers, there was quite a wait but worth it. No room for desserts...

Over priced and poor quality food

Nice pub. Nice area. Nice pint. Nice food. Nice staff. Nice.

Place was empty today (Sunday) god knows why as the Sunday dinner was lovely! Nice cosy pub, we will certainly return

Me and my partner always drive past here and say we will go in but never did. Today we decided to and had a beautiful roast dinner. We both had the pork dinners. Portions look small but it’s deceiving as everything is hidden under the massive, delicious yorkshire pudding. We were quick to get served and seated and food was quick to come out too which was good as we were absolutely starving. The pork was lovely and soft too, barely any fat and they didn’t skimp on it either. Only complaint is that we wish we came here sooner! We will 100% be back.

Great food ,only £10 ehu for our motorhome friendly staff

Just had a Delicious Sunday Lunch at the Fox it was hot and well presented and plenty served by pleasant staff and didn't have to wait long, we've had a few meal and everyone as Good as the last 😋highly recommend

Excellent food and great service.

Friendly staff & excellent food.
