The Harbourmaster bistro in Newark and Sherwood

Superb food beautifully served in a great atmosphere. Excellent service from very helpful staff. The entertainment was a pleasant background to an enjoyable evening.

Pre booked, restricted but varied 2 course evening meal (starter and main). Able to have a leasurely enjoyable meal with wife. Food absolutely perfect accompanied by a fine wine. Standard of service excellent. Andy and Jenni, mine hosts have set high standards which disseminates down through staff. A pleasure to compliment Chef. That's wife's birthday meal sorted out for September. This bistro is a "MUST" for that special occasion!

A family visit for eight people was our first visit to this restaurant. Right in the centre of old Newark, bit tricky with parking, but well worth it. A fairly small dining room, with very unusual but really effective decor. A very affable owner, excellent food and wine and to top it all a first class "rat pack" style singer. Staff were friendly and competent and the whole evening was a delight. Do try to visit when Matt, the vocalist is doing his weekly(?) gig.

Lovely little bistro which sells ice cream. Ordered at the counter, and asked to take a seat and it would be brought to us. What fabulous service just for 3 ice creams. Lovely location overlooking the river. Ice cream was delicious too!

This is a small, tastefully decorated and comfortable café close to the river Trent and Newark Castle, with public (paid) car parking right outside. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, coffees, beers, snacks and light meals are good, and the prices are fair.

Possible to sit outside in warm weather, with view over the quay, the river and the clock tower. Inside is quirky, comfortable and charming. Food is always hot (where appropriate), always well-served and the cakes are to die for!
