The Riverside in Newark and Sherwood

A very nice and friendly pub. The food was nice and hot. I would recommend going here

Met friends here for Sunday Dinner, everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the roast pork which was very tasty.

Great pub food is great to worth a visit

Lovely pub nice food good atmosphere, nice location in the river plenty of parking

Pleasant, welcoming atmosphere, excellent food and attentive staff, no pressure to vacate premises after eating.

Nice pub/restaurant - bar/restaurant staff excellent - service good BUT £20.95 for two small Sea Bass Fillets, £6.30 for a pint of Brixton Reliance and £1.60 for a dash of Lemonade - come on !!!!! Best advice is to go before 18:30 and take advantage of lunchtime menus

Comfortable restaurant/pub by the River Trent. The lunch menu is quite adequate or for more comprehensive choices go for the full menu. A few good ales available including local beers.

Delicious food, excellent service and a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Great food great place after a walk

Way over priced for the quality of the food. 4 people who all had 1 soft drink each a main and a dessert

Group of 15. Pre ordered. All dishes tasty and well cooked

Great food and drinks in a great location.

The beer was good. But you don't get a full pint. Be clear I am not talking about the head. I mean the top of the head was 1cm lower than the brim. There were three cask ales, the doom bar was the best. There was a very light ale also. It is not really a pub. But not really a restaurant.

Overpriced for portions, but food nice enough. Parking tricky due to lack of availability, especially for larger family vehicles.

First time coming here today. Sadly incredibly disappointing. Me and my partner had a roast beef dinner. Roast potatoes were hard and tasted a bit plastic. Partners Yorkshire pudding didn't taste nice. The veg wasn't too bad. The beef wasn't the best. But edible. For the price of the meal it really wasn't worth it. Very disappointed to be honest. Atmosphere was lovely and the staff were lovely when we told them about the food.

Excellent food,difficult to park as very busy.Would definitely return

Can't knock the fixed price menu. Very good.

Love this place. It use to be my local. Still go even though I've moved to Lincolnshire 👍.

Another fantastic place to eat with great staff! 👍

Excellent place to eat and the staff are very friendly

Beautiful food, great service. Fab place

Lovely surroundings, food not as Impressive as the price.

We had the roast dinners. Chicken was dry, unfortunately, but the beef was amazing. Really enjoyed our meal.

Thank you for looking after us at short notice

Had an amazing meal tonight cooked to perfection, two courses for myself and my husband came to around £65, very reasonable.

Treated my two boys to food here last night ..absolutely lovely ..well presented and delicious..would definitely recommend 🤩

Excellent food, great we had a steak. Customer Service brilliant nothing was too much trouble

Had a lovely meal with friends. Good choice on menu and very tasty. Will definitely return.

Had Sunday lunch a little bit disappointing

Great food and drink. Good service.... prices above average, but not too high. Surrounding is first class. Only gripe is the seasoning of the burgers. Simply tasted like minced beef. Like you had cooked mince to go in a cottage pie. Needs lifting to give it wow....

Had lunch with my sister the other day. Absolutely perfect in every way. Excellent food and service.

Excellent food and presentation, lovely staff.

My friends and I ate from the Fixed Price Menu which is great value at £18.95 for 2 courses. Food was excellent. Service was good but unfortunately the Bill was incorrect so could have been overcharged for drinks, which are expensive enough, if not checked. We like the atmosphere which is cosy and relaxed so will be visiting again.

Our first visit to the Riverside we will differently be returning . Food was excellent catered very well for vegetarians so nice to have a choice . Service was very good to Highly recommended

Group of 9 family from various locations met for a meal, really excellent in all aspects. Only slight disappointment for me was my sweet, so that's probably down to me not the Riverside.

Love the place best in Newark area

Had a lovely meal out with my wife and mum and dad brother his wife and daughter for our mum and dad's diamond wedding anniversary food was amazing nice atmosphere and a great experience 😁

Lovely atmosphere, excellent staff, beautiful food & value for money

Fantastic food and great service We will be back.

Great place we found by chance. Very busy stylish decor and great food. Would be so nice in the summer I am sure as right by the canal with some outdoor seating.

Really nice place, we've been here loads over the last few years. Sometimes for drinks, sometimes for food and it's always very consistently good. Not cheap but good value food and friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Easy to park, great exterior and interior design to realy be able to relax and enjoy the fantastic food and create a very relaxing atmosphere. The staff were amazing and also interactive with our group able to have a laugh with us and at us 😄. Highly recommended for anyone to visit and have a great experience too.

A lovely atmosphere Excellent home cooked food and friendly staff

Had full English breakfast....portions quite small for price....not value for money really Avocado not ripe...price was adjusted accordingly. However, quite disappointed when we've been before now it's changed 😕 there's only certain corners to cut before losing the customer....that doesn't return,,.....

Visited with my parents Beautiful clean restaurant Welcoming staff Lovely decor and ambience Lovely food nicely presented and piping hot Can’t fault anything I had vegetarian option of mushroom risotto it was delicious with spinach and pine nuts My dad had fish and chips they were beautiful Mum had chicken with potato dauphinois she said the mushroom sauce with it was divine We will return again soon

Always a good choice for a good quality Sunday dinner, booking is recommended

A lovely setting for a nice meal and a few drinks .

Beautiful food. Helpful and kind staff. Fast service with a smile. Recommended.

Very nice lunch meeting whilst sampling a variety of the 'sharing plates'. Falafel, wings, squid, olives n bread, ribs etc all very nice. Good draught ales aswell. Plus on a sunny day like today lovely down on the river! Was here again on Tuesday night for drinks, every draught Ale was rancid! And not cheap I'll add. Real shame....

Always enjoy the Riverside. We go about once a month and are never disappointed. The staff are great and the food is lovely.

Every time in Newark have to come to Riverside, never disappointed. Keep it up. Lovely Lunch today. Blade of Beef. 10 out of 10.

Lovely venue. Service a little slow and food not the best value but would return again.

Food was good although a little expensive compared to some other pubs I have eaten in.

First time visit on 27th December. Called on speck with family and was pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent, nothing to complain about here. We will definitely return when we're next in the area.

First time visit, it was a lovely place.

Food excellent!!!.lovely atmosphere bar staff brilliant.we had a fantastic time honestly couldn't do enough.love love love the place 🎄

We had our team Christmas meal there this year. The atmosphere was very homey, and the food was excellent, the same as the service. Would recommend it.

PLEASE PUT PRAVA BACK ON….. IT WAS YOUR BEST SELLING BEER LOVE THE PUB, VERY CLEAN AND TIDY AND THE FOODS GREAT 👍🏻

Close to the river is always great experience

Went on a Monday so nice and quiet. Restaurant is very inviting with plenty of tables and nice decor. Food absolutely wonderful.

Excellent night , food was great and waitress was fab x

I was very surprised at how good the food was.. great price and perfect food in fact that the best chicken I've had..

Nice pub excellent food and great atmosphere 🙂

Had a great meal, staff were friendly and polite

Excellent food... Attentive service...

Had an excellent meal here today lovely fresh cooked food courteous staff and beautiful decor

Amazing food. Lovely helpful staff.

Had a wonderful meal with family, for our son's birthday. The staff were lovely, and the food, likewise. Will definitely be returning.

I had delicious mushroom risotto but they had no parmigiana cheese

Really great location, staff are friendly and helpful and Sunday dinner was perfect. I would highly recommend and will be returning soon

Had a fabulous Full English Breakfast with extra Potato Tots on Good Friday. Brilliant way to start the day with great service, excellent food, especially the Tots. Just a shame the piped music is a little lame, especially in the mornings Edit 24 Sep 2023 - The music is now much better and the breakfast is still excellent

This place never fails to disappoint. Really really great food.

Dodd was excellent and service superb. Janna was a credit to your team and really made our visit enjoyable. Please visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Went for a birthday meal with friends great atmosphere, quick service, lovely food great night had by all.

Have eaten here a good few times whilst on the river. Food is excellent, staff attentive and efficient, real ale options are limited but its a restaurant not an ale house. My only real "gripe" is the menu stays pretty similar and when coming regularly would be nice to see some fresh options once in a while.

Service is very good, attentive, and polite, and couldn't do enough for us. We weren't waiting long for drinks or food, which was piping hot and freshly cooked. Absolutely delicious. We tried each others and don't think there is anything on the menu that we wouldn't like.

We should of gone to the other bar down the road!! Or McDonald's. Was my birthday treat! Partner had these awful chicken wings statrer, followed by an even worse steak pie full of kidney and looked awful, veg over done and meal was very dry! Pudding was the best can't fault that. Portions are very small. We only drink water took ages to get a refill then had 4 glasses bought over, communication in any establishment is key sadly this place lacks this. 1 spoiled birthday meal

Top place good food and beer good staff will be back keep going back must be good . 18 Miles from home see you next week thanks John

Had the most delicious Sunday roast at the Riverside 10/10 Would highly recommend 👌

It's a beautiful clean presented pub, immaculate, lovely location. Food was just OK, staff was excellent, extremely helpful and cheerful, very attentive. The biggest issue was the High volume noise of children, it's a verge big eating area, shame cannot divide family's from customers without children. The noise pollution definitely ruined it for us.

Tasty food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Had a wonderful relaxing evening with friends.

Came with friend for breakfast and was no disappointed. Really lovely staff and great food. Good selection of beers too.

The best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Very good quality which is hard to find these days and reasonably priced.

Great service. Really nice food.

Really enjoyed a lovely meal with my partner in a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Food was fantastic and the staff are a credit to you. Thank you.

Great food and friendly staff. Could maybe do with some background music and no atmosphere.

Having moved out of the area last year we still come back to the Riverside for the special meals. Always good food, very attentive staff & a very pleasant atmosphere. The fixed menu is good value for the money.

Popped in on the way home from a day out. Despite the late arrival time, the staff were very helpful. Food excellent, very happy

Lovely spot for lunch and a drink. super service.

Lovely atmosphere, clean and welcoming. Friendly staff. Lovely location by the river

We had the best experience. We turned up late and they catered to our needs perfectly, food was lovely and the beer was refreshing.

Had to wait a while for meal but pleasant staff good fod and good value

Nice little hidden gem with great food. We stayed the night and were well looked after.

Lovely place service good food good staff obliging helpful

Arrived without a reservation as part of a party of four having visited the NT Southwell Workhouse on Sunday afternoon about 4.30. Just everything was spot on in all aspects from meet and greet, bar, food and service. Happy to recommend and would certainly revisit when in the area - this time with a reservation just to make sure!

What a brilliant PUB. excellent food and service. Great atmosphere and great staff. Definitely on our go to list for a great meal and drink with friends. All the food is excellent.

Beautifully cooked food. Lovely staff.

Food ok nothing special. Nice place and location

We decided to celebrate our 50th Anniversary of our first ever date here as we had eaten here several times previously and had good food and experience. You excelled yourselves this time with superb food (Lamb Shanks)/Apple&Cinnamon Crumble and wine (New Zealand Pinot Gris). The service was top notch - calm, efficient and friendly but not OTT. An experience worthy of the occasion to be celebrated. Many, many thanks for making this evening special!

Just popped in for a drink as it was hot. Barman very attentive, food smelt great, pub is to side of a Marina. Lovely location, quiet. Adequate parking in front of pub and plenty of outside seating. Pub looked a fair size inside.
