The Springfield in Newark and Sherwood

We recently visited this beautiful pub and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The staff were all very friendly, and the open fire was a welcome site, particularly with the darker evenings. We will soon return.

We meet here with friends and use for drinks regularly as it is such a beautiful pub with flagstone floors and real open fires and is decorated beautifully A large car park , dog friendly , lots of cosy table areas, good range of beers and extremely friendly and helpful staff We had a great server for whom nothing was too much trouble We had pizza which was tasty , steak which was perfectly cooked , lamb shank which unfortunately wasn’t a good size portion for the price and lasagne which also was on the smaller side We had desserts which again disappointed the crumble was very shallow and sticky toffee was bland Saying that I love the place and will definitely give the food another go

The pub was very busy but our order for both drinks and food was taken quickly. Excellent meal as always. All three of us had roast beef, generous portions with separate huge dish of perfectly cooked vegetables, with lashing of superb gravy. Perfect Sunday roast. Mini pub and coffees to finish. All excellent and well done and thank you to Nicki and the waiting staff.

Friendly welcoming staff, great last minute availability. Local to us, food and drinks very enjoyable and prices are reasonable

We had a Family Reunion with 20 of us using the Weekday Lunch Menu and had the ‘Secret Room’ reserved for us. We met as planned in the bar before having lunch and all of us were more than satisfied with the quality of the fare and the service provided by Jan, Jess and Phil who were attentive to our every need. Top marks to the team and thank you for making it a memorable occasion.

Had a lovely meal with a catch up with a friend. Can definitely recommend the chicken Penang curry, so tasty!! Looking forward to eating there again. Many thanks to Jan for being so attentive

Breakfast was lovely and served my the lovely and helpful Jess, nothing was a problem and service with a smile, will be coming back

Stayed here after reading some good reviews . Pleasant welcome by a young man at the bar - full payment taken on arrival . Downhill after that Room was ok - not large for a ‘double’ Bathroom sink so small you bump your head on the shelf - and on washing your face water spills on your legs, feet and the floor. Bed ok, but no blanket and I was cold . First morning my room was tidied but the bed left unmade . Breakfast poor, with microwaved rubber scrambled eggs and no choice of bread - just white rubbish . No fruit, fresh or tinned . Second night the fire alarm sounded at 3.15 am, and continued for 4-5 mins before it was deactivated . No explanation or apology from any staff, then or the following morning . Booked a table on arrival, in the bar for dinner in order to watch the England game . Asked large assistant manager ? If she could change TV channel and turn up volume slightly - to which she replied she’d ’get into trouble’! Not allowed - she said ! Finally convinced her that it was England playing an important semi. …. All breakfasts poor - dinner that evening also poor . Last morning there was NO HOT WATER to wash and shower . At breakfast I told a member of staff I was unable to shower or shave - he was totally disinterested! On leaving nobody asked about our stay / or even said thank you or goodbye . A total waste of money

We used a room at the Springfield for business training over a few days. The staff were great in making sure the refreshments in the room were topped up throughout each day we were there and even made sure lunches were served on time to help with our tight training schedules. They organised the room just how we needed it too. The room has an exit to the seating area outside, so we took our quick breaks throughout the day out there without needing to go through the pub. Thanks Jess and the team!

Me and my Mum had another lovely meal here today The fishcakes were amazing and my Mum had the fish and chips. The food is wonderful and Nicky the waitress is lovely. We came here a few months ago and it was really good then ,but even better this time. Love it here . Melanie and Joan

Treated ourselves to a bank Holiday Monday meal and booked in to listen to the entertainment, which was very enjoyable, well done to the organisers, look forward to next time. Thank you to Amanda for excellent friendly service!

Lunch last Friday with friends. Warm welcome and attentive cheery service. Excellent king prawns starter, main courses pie and sea bass. However chicken in both the burger and the curry were overdone. Thankfully our waitress arranged for my wife’s burger to be replaced-and it was fine 2nd time. Nice location with plenty parking.

Visited for impromptu lunch and we were not disappointed. The food was very tasty and the staff polite and attentive. Very cosy surroundings. Definitely going to visit again in the near future

Been here many times before and found it to be very good indeed. This time, we went for lunch and although the decor, atmosphere and server were all great, the food was not as good as it had been on previous visits. I had the smoked haddock and spinach fishcakes - they were hot, had a good flavour, but were quite soggy (I'd expected them to be a bit crispy). My husband had steak, which he said was fatty and didn't have much meat on it. It hasn't put us off going again, though, but we'll know not to order those particular dishes.

Everytime myself and partner have visited the food is fantastic…Amanda took our order and was lovely friendly and checked in on us to check everything was good…Thankyou x

The food was excellent with a great choice. Service was wonderful and Nicky the waitresses was very attentive and ensured everything was satisfactory. We were there as a family to celebrate my mother's birthday and Nicky made sure mum enjoyed her meal and time there.

Had a very enjoyable evening at the Springfield on Saturday. My mum had been out for a meal on Mothering Sunday and recommended it for our visit. We booked a table for 6 adults (ranging from 16 to 84) and requested a dog friendly area. We were located in a top corner of the restaurant which was perfect for us as we could tuck our labrador away to avoid any disturbance. Jess introduced herself not long after we sat down and was extremely helpful, polite and accommodating throughout our meal. Everything was great, absolutely no complaints. Thank you - we will visit again when we are next in the area.

Great food and atmosphere,friendly staff,very good Sunday roast, thank you to Jess who served us very friendly and professional.

Very slow service, Had to ask when our drinks would arrive.Had lunch menu two course for £16 50 only had one course but was charged full price,so decided to have take away desert being has I had to pay for it,will not be returning

Food and service very good with friendly staff however the unavailability of a number of deserts listed on the menu and a 10 % service charge added to the bill disappointed.

6 day's ago I wrote a review which was rightly complementary about the Springfield and I'm sorry to say what a difference 6 day's make. My wife and I arrived at 17.15 hrs for 17.30hrs booking and the requested table was unavailable which isn't a problem but we were offered the smallest and I considered to be the worst table in the restaurant which was right next to the out door of the kitchen. My wife asked if we could sit at one of the many empty tables but she was told no because they were all booked due to the 40% discount night on the meals. I don't understand that when our booking was accepted and we arrived 15 mins before why a more comfortable empty table wasn't offered to us. Because a 40% discount on meals was available on this particular night why were we greeted with 40% less servility. Subsequently we declined the worst table in the restaurant and went and enjoyed an exquisite meal at The Springwater Chinese restaurant. The staff at the Springwater were friendly and the welcome and service was excellent.

We have not visited here before, very impressed with the food and service. We will definitely be coming back for another visit.

Another great lunch . I went with two friends and we all made main courses with starters and sides which they were very happy to do. Our waitress Jan was very attentive without being too overpowering. Food was good and well presented. Thank you.

My favourite place for a Sunday roast, you must try the pork belly, it won't be beaten!! Thank you chefs and team 😃look forward to next time!

Beautifully cooked turkey and wonderful service. Lovely atmosphere for a relaxed Sunday dinner. Will return to sample the weekday menu.

Sunday lunch ,, Food lovely Service abysmal (waited over 30 minutes to even order drinks ,refused to serve at the bar ,) Toilets stink (ladies and gents )

The food as usual was brilliant. Nicky was very friendly and super helpful. Table by the fire on a cold winter's night was just lovely.

Visited this week as we could not resist the 50% off mains offer. As always the staff were very accommodating and it was nice to be recognised by the manager Myles, who is always very welcoming. We particularly love the open fires, especially with the cold weather. We look forward to returning soon for another delicious meal!

Great food at one of our favourite restaurants. Food was on point as always. Great service from Jess, recommended dessert and it went down a treat

Had a fantastic stay at Springfield Inn.Felt warm and cosy from the moment you walked through the door, even warmer if you sit in front of the open fire. Myles and his team were absolutely amazing, nothing was any trouble 1st class service in both the bar and restaurant. Rooms were spotless, warm and well furnished including including the hot beverage tray. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend. Sunday lunch is a must. Would be here every Sunday if it weren’t the fact it’s 180miles from home.😁😁😁

The pub is a great idea for a get together. The pudding was piping hot so it must have been freshly prepared

Lunch today at the Springfield Inn was thoroughly disappointing. It was the worst steak and chips I've ever had to be honest. The salad? A few sprigs of watercress on its own ( no dressing) was starting to go yellow. Frozen chips and the thinnest bit steak ever. The garlic butter was tasteless. The only good thing about the meal was the waitress (Nicky) who I couldn't fault. She was v polite and attentive...I would not go back..

We had our Christmas dinner here. Lovely table and setting. Food was plentiful and excellent. Staff worked very hard. Just three things to note that would have made this perfect - staff would have looked better in a uniform, tables could have used a tablecloth and being the price we paid I think tea and coffee should be provided. Overall excellent though and would go again

Had a wonderful experience today for Christmas day! Food was very tasty and high quality. Received a lovely warm welcome and the service was very warm and attentive. Even received a Christmas card on the table!! Being looked after on Christmas day means a lot, and me and my partner appreciated it very much!! Thank you to the entire team!😊😊🎄🎄

The staff want to stand by the fire talking rubbish. The table service was absolutely terrible.when you have to go and ask for your main course to be served. Then they ask anything else 😆 🤣 😂. Then a bill for 90 pound turned up for terrible service and lukewarm food. No nay never no more I would advice you to vote with your feet and keep away good luck.

Excellent food and great service value for money waitress Jan was lovely and polite very friendly 😀

Lovely surroundings and good ambience, food tasty and good value. Well looked after by Amanda. Like the location.

food was really good, and although I arrived first i felt safe . i really enjoyed my experience here and was lovely to meet Amy Wesson, also friendly and welcoming

Really nice place .. food has always been spot on .. our waitress nicky was really friendly and attentive

Fantastic meal and fantastic service. We came as a family and could not fault the food or staff. The general manager was great fun and runs a great pub! We look forward to visiting again. We would highly recommend.

This was the worst Sunday dinner I have ever had any where, the beef was ridiculously thin, the roast potatoes, parsnips and cauliflower, were all hard, we paid to have extra to have cauliflower cheese, then also received cauliflower as part of the vegetables, nothing...

Great place with lovely and helpful staff. The food portions were generous and of good quality. Would happily return.

VERY VERY POOR!!! After waiting 15 mins to get a drink for my wife and i, we walked out. Never even spoken to. Wont recommend

As usual the team at the Springfield didn’t disappoint. Great food, usual excellent service. Can not fault this place, would always recommend

Becoming a favourite of ours to visit. On arrival we was greeted by a lovely gentleman who looked to be in charge. Staff are also extremely polite and friendly. The food was enjoyable and the open fire a welcome delight. Highly recommend!

Had the most amazing lunch with my best friend here today, food was delicious and service top notch - could recommend high enough

Great short stay at this lovely welcoming restaurant/hotel. All the staff were attentive, warm and friendly. We stayed 2 nights B&B but ended up eating in the restaurant both nights too. The food selection was just right in terms of choice & cooked well. Would...

Came again (as food is always amazing) for friend’s birthday and was not disappointed. Service spot on and Sunday dinner spot on.

Visited The Springfield for Sunday lunch with friends, and I must say it's by far the best vintage inn facility we have visited for a very long time The whole experience was first class from the food to the very present staff and would highly...

Great place good food excellent service by Nicky definitely coming again. It is absolutely asurd having to write a review using over 100 characters when you say in just a few, it's the last review I intend to write because of this.

Lovely food & drinks Catered too our needs and wants Lovely experience for a joint birthday party

Amazing Food, Amazing Staff. A Special Thanks To Nicky For Taking Care Of Us. Beautiful Scenery, As Well As Lots Of Parking.

Very slow service for both food and drink approx 20 mins waiting for a drink, 30 mins waiting for a main coarse, then another 30 min waiting for a desert

Food ok. Service not good. We have the vintage inn app fro spending Over £30.00 we should have £10-00 off. The waitress couldn’t scan the code. Sent for manager who quite loudly said there were problems with the app and he couldn’t do anything about...

Very nice visit, food excellent, our waitress Jan was very friendly and helpful, well presented pub with the flowers outside and the dog water station, will definitely visit again, thankyou. 1

Great food & service. Friendly and welcoming staff (thanks Nino). I had the chicken & chorizo pie and loved it. Also try the duo of Lamb.

Just stopped on the way home for a meal. Nice food served by Nicky, who was excellent, in a lovely old looking pub. Not bad experience overall.

Came for lunch 28th May with our family and little girl. We absolutely enjoyed our lunch, and my ever so fussy 6 year old enjoyed her pasta, followed by ice cream! Nicky was our server and was very pleasent throughout. Will definitely come again when...

We had a brilliant evening, lovely cocktails, awesome service from Amy, great menu suggestions and great pints pulled by Ben 💪🏻👌🙌🏻

Came on Good Friday, fairly busy but friendly service. Enjoyed our fish and chips finished by a drink I the sunshine in the garden. Perfect start to the long weekend, thank you!

😀 Excellent, attentive and friendly staff, nice ambience, comfortable. 🙁 Mushroom tagliatelle turned out to be mushroom linguine. If you’re out of an ingredient just tell us, don’t insult our intelligence by serving something different, hoping we won’t notice. 🙁 Chicken and veg curry: I...

Went for a family birthday meal,unfortunately the starters of crispy camenbert were 2 pieces lost on the plate with some limp rocket and missing the sour dough bread.The plates were not cleared before the main course arrived and had to ask for more cutlery. Drinks...

Been a couple of times and the food is lovely and the staff are warm and friendly highly recommend this place

Fantastic food, had the Sunday turkey roast, served quickly and with a warm welcome. Fantastic service and would highly recommend

We have had Sunday dinners here on a few occasions ( always left good reviews and recommended to friends and family) however this was our first Friday night visit and it was very disappointing from the service to the food, nothing like our Sunday visits...

We popped in during the week and although busy, our evening was lovely. We was greeted by very friendly staff and the food presented was beautiful, highly recommend the seabass. The open fire was a welcome sight during the cold weather.

My son and I called in on Sunday afternoon, we didn’t book but they managed to fit us in . We both had Sunday lunch I had beef my son had the trio of meats. Everything was hot and nicely presented. The beef was really...

Due to a family bereavement we travelled to Nottingham and booked a night in the Springfield. They were extremely good in having our room ready early. However sincere apologies but I thought I had stepped back to the ‘70’s!!! The decor is in desperate need...

Been here many times before, but not since April this year. The decor is very attractive, and the service excellent. The only thing I didn't particularly like was being seated at the table right next to the Gents' toilet (although my husband said it eas...

The food was good, the decor was lovely. But we got hugely overcharged because one of our party asked for some swaps. There aren't any "swaps" you just get charged for two whole meals even though only one arrives. Really disappointed and seemed very opportunistic...

Stopped off at this place for a coffee, clean and tidy with very friendly staff, we decided to stay for a meal too. Food and hospitality wonderfull.

Great night out at The Springfield Inn. Super staff behind the bar and in the restaurant. Great food. Served at a good pace.

Had a great meal in a lovely country setting with great service and reasonably priced Definitely go back again

We went for a Sunday dinner yesterday and have to say the experience as a whole was perfect. Not too long to wait, not too rushed and I have to say the ‘Sunday Trio’ was amazing. I’m always hesitant with the beef but yesterday’s was...

This is becoming a favourite of ours, greeted by a friendly gentleman, believe to be the manager. Politely shown to a table and asked if we would like drinks or a few moments, menu explained. Food was presented beautifully and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Came for Sunday dinner, not for the first time. It’s normally really nice and is always our first choice for going for food but the last few weeks we have been have been utterly diabolical. Taken to a table and forced into ordering drinks straight...

This has been one of my favourite pubs for a long time but after my visit today, I’m not sure I’ll be going back. Normally everything is excellent, food and service but on this Sunday lunch time, it couldn’t have been much worse. Although our...

I’ve eaten in many restaurants over the years, of all different types and ratings, from amazing independent places to pub chains to Michelin starred establishments, and this lunchtime was my all-time food experience low. This was not my first visit to the Springfield as we’ve...

Food service amazing and really lovely service from Bethany, she’s a real credit to the restaurant and can go really far!

Came for Sunday lunch with my family and 2 dogs, the atmosphere was alive and although the pub was filled we got served really quickly. Food was divine and the raspberry house sodas are so nice! Credit to the the team working, they were all...

We were a party of 5 and we ordered our food and waited almost 2 hours for our food to arrive! Bad service. I appreciate Sundays can be busy but that's ridiculous.

Lovely, pretty building friendly team and lovely food, highly recommend one of our favourite go to places, especially on a sunny day in the garden.

Absolutely exceptional. Food was cooked perfectly not a long wait despite having a large party in. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back in the very near future

Stayed for one night as visiting relative nearby Plenty of parking Room with comfortable bed bathroom needed updating good value accommodation Enjoyed well cooked dinner and basic breakfast the next morning

Came here for lunch today to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Food was amazing as always. Staff attentive and friendly. Lovely place to eat, highly recommended
