Ye Olde Bridge Inn in Newark and Sherwood

Went for first time for husbands birthday. Food was amazing and the staff were super attentive and pleasant. Very nice place indeed. We will definitely return

First time here, on a whim as we’re always driving by the place. Locations great, lovely outdoor space, lots of local produce and the service we received was great, attentive, friendly staff so thank you. It looked like it’s a place which can quite easily get massively backlogged, but the service and food we received was pretty awesome. Thank you to all the staff - tough job

We went for Sunday lunch & ordered the beef. They told us it comes pink which made it quite chewy & we had to ask for a steak knife. I'll ask for it more well done next time. The service was good & we didn't have to wait too long for the food to arrive. The toilets could do with a deep clean.

An amazing experience in the Dining dome for a special birthday celebration. The service was truly amazing and made very personal by the team. Although the restaurant was very busy we felt like we were the only ones there. The food was delicious and the experience as a whole was 5 stars!

It was lovely just like when I was there before, everything about it was enjoyable, don't have a bad word about it very nice

Lovely food and staff were very helpful.

Came here for a quiet midweek drink with a friend. Nice little bar area, away from the food side so it was just what we wanted. Prices are a bit high, 10 pounds for a beer and a coke. Good service

Beautiful food at reasonable price for the quality,service wad a little slow though

This was our first visit to Ye Olde Bridge on the recommendation of our neighbours. The occasion was the 72nd birthday of my wife. Frankly? We have NEVER had a Sunday roast lunch to better the meal yesterday. Obviously it was an exceptionally busy day because of the weather when many restaurants would have buckled under the huge numbers of patrons - but the service, the food (in particular the roast beef) was superb in it being served ‘pink’ and quality. We will be back!

We love this place, the domes are excellent as is the food. No preorder for large groups which is a massive plus. It was a little hit and miss on our last visit but other than one particular grumpy staff member it was as good as always

Great Sunday lunch. Wonderful veg selection, Very friendly service and comfortable seating indoors. After the meal we be moved outdoors to enjoy the sun.

Very efficient service and pleasant staff

Service excellent; Dome experience - good fun! Pizzas, burgers & certain main dishes very good. Toilets could be improved.

Excellent pizza's and the staff were superb.

I’ve been here a few times and it’s always great. The setting is perfect and the outside is amazing. Food was good although I’d like to see a bit more variety on the menu if I was being really picky. I’d definitely visit again

A really good traditional country pub with a balance of good food, good surroundings and good service.

Food nice but on the upper price side for what it is. Service while at the pub is friendly and can’t be faulted. The pub itself is lovely so definitely worth a visit. Only downside is contacting the place , booked a table using online booking and asked on booking whether dogs were allowed, never got a response so had to turn up and hope. Booking was easy and yes they allow dogs 🙂, in case you want to know. Was charged for food we didn’t have and only realised once back at our accommodation, tried calling to save us another journey that evening and no one answered phone, so had to return to pub to sort it out. Obviously honest mistake and we probably should have looked closely at bill when there but you don’t really assume it would be incorrect. Only small niggles for us , don’t let it put you off well worth going for meal

lovely country pub...relaxing atmosphere

The large dome setting was perfect for the family to gather for a celebration of life. Big round table made it ideal for chatting with everyone. Excellent, sensitive and friendly service throughout, didn't feel rushed... given extra time we needed. Food good, menu varied. Thank you for making this a very special day for us all. If you are visiting on sunny day dress in cool clothes..gets warm in that dome! 🥵

We came to the pub after the kids last game of there under 8 football season. Outstanding set up. Lovely pub, outside area is fantastic and the kids loved it. There was a bit of a mix up with the food but we did order a lot of food so quite understandable. Food quality was really good as well. The price of food and drink is on the expensive side but that wasn’t a problem for how good a time everyone was having. All round very good. If it was a bit cheaper it would definitely hit 5 stars no problem.

I went with my partner on a beautiful day, and decided that we wanted to stay for some food. We ordered a stone-baked pizza, the Caesar salad and a side order of parmesan fries. The food came and the pizza and Caesar salad were lovely, but couldn't believe that the only difference between the normal fries and the parmesan fried was a bit of sweaty cheese on top. We were expecting a bit more considering that they were almost £6 dearer! We tried to get some ones attention to send them back but gave up in the end. The cherry on the top was when we asked to take the rest of the pizza away, we charged an extra 50p - what? Not the best experience, and won't be returning.

We came and ate here on Saturday afternoon, after a long journey back from Cambridge, it was great that they served food all day long (other restaurants we googled finished their menus at 2:30pm) we’ve been here for drinks a good few times before and a meal a couple of years ago so thought we’d try it as I’d heard mixed reviews. I have to say we were so happy with the service and the food. We only had a burger and a desert each but it was all superb, the restaurant was so busy and we can now see why! Thank you so much for such efficient service and a wonderful meal. We will be back to try your Sunday roasts very soon!

Really enjoyed the Sunday roast.

Took advantage of the Terrace in the sunshine

I don't like the new look. It looks like a dentist office waiting room.

First class service and meal ,immaculate setting in restaurant with excellent attention to detail. Meals outstanding Thank yoy

Nothing to fault here. Service is good, not the fastest, but just about right. Food is excellent, so although the price is on the high side, you don't mind.

Wasn't impressed I had steak very tough I asked for just salad well it was just mixed lettuce leaves and a bit of onion had to ask for some tomato had no chips or anything else but was charged full price very expensive for the amount of food I got

Excellent. Second visit and a wonderful menu and very attentive staff. Only one small glitch, the Pear and Apple Eton Mess when served was Plum instead. Suitable reduction made to the bill with many apologies. Look forward to future visits.

I booked a meal for 3 online for my wife's 70th birthday we had not visited for some years and we were very pleasantly surprised at the improvements made in Nov 2024 the place looks really nice and the staff are all very friendly and professional. The food was 1st class with vegan options and good selection of drinks. I would recommend visiting and we will definitely be coming back again

My partner and I absolutely loved the food and the dome.

Had family get together for late mothers day and really enjoyed it The food was delicious and plenty of it Desserts to die for Waitress was lovely 😍 👌

Another amazing casual lunch treat with my son. Thanks Katie, Morgan and Kitchen team for a great afternoon. 10/10 as always

Just amazing the food was amazing best I’ve had as a vegetarian and people were lovely

First visit to YOBI. Lovely place, great design and layout throughout. Friendly bar service. Good menu options and specials. Food was delicious, I had the braised beef pie, my wife and daughter had the pizzas (which were massive!). The main gripe I had was that the service was slow. We waited nearly an hour for our mains, which was too long considering it didn’t seem especially busy… I have to say, the serving staff themselves were very friendly and helpful though. Also, a bit of background ambient music in the restaurant area would have made it a better experience. I can’t stand being able to hear other people’s conversations in restaurants, but that is just my opinion, obviously. A bit of chilled music would definitely add to the vibe of the place, which is top notch. Overall, I would highly recommend YOBI.

Best roast dinners in the area! We tried here last year for the first time, and it has become our regular place to dine for special occasions. Three of us and a dog for lunch on Mothers Day. We were booked in before the rush started, but service was fast and efficient, and the food was as lovely as ever. Knocks the socks off other places for Sunday lunch. Not the cheapest, but certainly feel like you get value for money

Really enjoyed our mothers day dinner

This place is brilliant, it looks great, the food is lovely, the drinks selection is good and the outside seating and play park is mega. The only improvement feedback would be that we sat for over half an hour waiting for puddings, when we wanted to get out and sit in the garden in the sun, if this had been quicker I would have marked 5 stars. Thanks for a great visit.

I celebrated my 25th birthday at Ye Old Bridge Inn in December, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the very start of organising the celebration to the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. I want to extend a special thanks to Lucy and Hannah for their attentiveness and care throughout the event. A huge shoutout to Katie for upgrading my celebration to the private event room, which truly elevated the atmosphere. The food was simply gorgeous, impressing all my guests and adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. Everyone had an amazing time, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to mark this milestone. Thank you, Ye Old Bridge Inn, for making my birthday celebration so special!

A great meal with old friends. Very nice and welcoming decor and friendly service. Only reason for a 4 star rating on food is the very limited gluten free choice.

Great food, great atmosphere and a amazing place for kids to play outside, would highly recommend this restaurant to bring your family too.

Staff always welcoming. Love the updated decor. Food piping hot and delicious. See you again soon!!

Great food again, ultimate Sunday roast is to die for followed by banana bread and butter pudding ,heaven.

Had a lovely baby shower in the stables function room such a brilliant space for private events! Thank you

Had a wedding here and it was incredible. The guests were raving about the food. The service was fantastic. The venue is gorgeous and dog friendly. Highly recommend for weddings and functions.

Fantastic. Hidden gem of a venue, everything from wakes to weddings. Staff are just superb, very accommodating and the food,ong, to die for.

Beautiful place, delicious food & great service.

Lovely food and service. . The staff were lovely and were very attentive. My husband had the burger which was lovely but could have done with a bigger plate as he struggled once it was cut . Would definitely revisit

Great night in large dome celebrating Daughters 40th birthday with all my family Had a fantastic time😊

A stunning pub. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Good was delicious.

Wednesday night so fairly quiet, very friendly staff, service excellent and a nice bottle of shiraz for a reasonable price. Food very good we both had steak pie and it was freshly made and beautifully cooked not like lots of pubs where its been kept warm for a couple of days and dried out! Veg and fries good too. Followed by two desserts both very good. Finally a roaring open fire in the grate! Five stars all round.

Really good Sunday Lunch all the staff were really great, I was on crutches and they were so helpful making sure I had an appropriate table. Will definitely return without crutches 😂

We arrived for my birthday at 7 pm a table for 8 and 3 being children. Waitress came and asked us if we wanted drinks quickly then it went downhill after that. After 1/2 hour they came back to order starters and another 1/2 hour the shrimp tacos were not good (bitter), main course came nearly 40 minutes later after asking the waitress what was happening. People who came in after us were being served really quickly we were just left after 1 1/2 hour, mains came they were awful I had steak pie the pastry was rock hard my husband had fish and chips and the fish batter was hard everything looked like it had been forgotten under some heat lights and everything dried up. After nearly 2 1/2 hours we complained to the manager who gave us some money off the bill but my birthday meal was awful and upset all of us, we won’t be coming back. 🥲

Amazing food and great atmosphere

It took 40 minutes to receive our starter when it wasn’t very busy, the main took an hour when it arrived it the food was overcooked and people came in after we arrived and left before we’d received our mains, the manager didn’t seem very impressed when we raised our concerns regarding the food and long wait for food, she offered us a very generous 10% off a £260 bill… won’t be returning in a rush.

Food was lovely, very enjoyable meal, and very mindful of allergies. however what made it so special was the service from Ruby and Natasha- lovely girls.

Lovely meal in the restaurant, very tasty and served promptly by excellent staff. Not the cheapest but we'll worth paying a little more than normal.

The food was all fabulous, the service was great and a lovely ambience for Valentines with an acoustic singer. The one downside was the chairs. Let’s say they are not very inclusive. I am a pear shaped lady (size 16) and struggled to feel comfortable in the somewhat snug seats. I heard a gentleman saying the same across the room. Please bear in mind we are not all supermodels!

Friendly staff and a great meal. Will definitely call again when in the area

Really nice venue. Eclectic menus with a very wide choice. Excellent service. Good very tasty and good portion size. I thoroughly recommend Ye Olde Bridge Inn

This is our fourth visit in the dining dome and we love it. The atmosphere is great. The staff were amazing and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent

Enjoyed our Sunday roast the food was cooked to perfection 👌 Thoroughly recommended Definitely going to return later in the year

Excellent food, location & staff.

Superb food…great service and lovely refurbished setting made for a fantastic Sunday Lunch! It had been years since I had visited and what a change! Lovely bright and airy decor throughout with warming fires blazing. Lovely country pub feel to the place. The service was lovely- friendly, helpful, informal and speedy. The quality of food was exceptional.. I had roast beef which was a really generous portion - Yorkshire Puddings you could probably sit in and a lovely selection of fresh veg for sharing. Super puddings too - not too heavy but some classics here including Pear and Apple Crumble (my choice) and Cherry Bakewell tart and a really lovely and unusual Plum and Honey Eton Mess. All in all- a fantastic experience and I would strongly recommend for a visit.

Staff very attentive thank you 🫶🏻🙏🏻 kind and friendly. Food hot and delicious. Thank you

Lovely meal. Prompt and friendly service.

Lovely venue. Great food. Friendly service. We will definitely be back

Monday lunchtime so quiet but the staff were very friendly and the food was excellent.

Very nice venue, the service was great and the staff are very nice. A very good roast, good portion size and reasonably priced.

The atmosphere when arriving was really welcoming and the smells coming from the restaurant were lovely. The food was amazing quality and portion size. Service was very good but we did have to ask for the bill.

Haven’t been here for many years,wanted to try somewhere different,looking on the website food looked lovely & good portions,but in reality it had shrunk,when I mean shrunk…a portion off garden peas in a tiny pot probably equating to two small spoon fulls,definitely not going to reach one of your five a day.I had ordered fish & chips for £18.95 I would at least thought I was going to get homemade chips not those skinny frozen fries,fish was small & quite rubbery so all in all not good value.One thing I can say was the staff were very efficient & polite.

This is our first visit to Ye Olde Bridge Inn, the food was plentiful and the service was great and there was a lovely family atmosphere, we will certainly be going again. Ken and Ann

FANTASTIC! Booked a Dome for a birthday gathering which was fabulous. The service was superb, they give you a buzzer so you can order and a speaker to connect to and play music through, we had such a great time and the food was spot on. I would definitely recommend the Bridge, the staff are brilliant too and were on it from the start, can't thank them enough for helping to make the day a special one!

Lovely place! Staff were spectacular although they could work on greeting people better. Food was beautiful and worth the money.

Great experience - food, setting, atmosphere service. Even the music was great!

The Sunday roast was the best!! The service was outstanding!! Most deffo will be returning.

Food is fantastic, staff are brilliant and a lovely cosy atmosphere. We had a couple of sunday roasts (one a nut roast), a couple of burgers and a kid's burger. All the food was great and the service was top-notch. Will definitely return.

Had sunday lunch everything food wise was very good. Service was prompt organised and friendly. We will return.

Was looking for somewhere local to the Tithe Green Natural Burial ground that could accommodate 10 persons for lunch, visited a few places the week before and booked at Ye Old Bridge Inn. We were not disappointed and had lovely meal, thanks

Delishious! Had the pie and mash...so so nice, full of flavour served with a rich gravy 😋 The coffee (Americana) was huge and very much enjoyed. Service was very good, making the whole experience very pleasant, will definitely be visiting again.

We had a combined birthday party this weekend and the team was very accommodating . The table was perfect and in a quiet area of the pub . Aesthetically from the pictures on the website the place looked amazing .. The decor was cute inside and the stables was really lovely for summer vibes The first round of drinks were left on the table behind us by a staff member by mistake , it wasn’t until a party member saw them and realised they were ours so she had to reach behind her to retrieve the order , also our pre orders were all wrong and we had to re order again at the table . The dishes are very mixed reviews in the fact the vegan tacos were a hit as was the prawn starters, however the Caesar salads were very very disappointing, the lettuce was limp beyond help , and very soggy . I was ravenous and when it was placed before me I wanted to cry , we asked for a fillet to be added on top and we got the dishes back with some vegan oomph covered in bbq sauce - they were truly dismal for the high end prices and quite frankly they looked like they needed mouth to mouth resuscitation Two other main courses including a burger main bun was burnt to a crisp and the patty very dry flavourless and also disappointing. And one of the chicken fillet burgers had to be sent back as the fillet was dry , over cooked and inedible . The pizzas for the kids were good , and the pies looked great . The service was very good and the waiters and waitresses accommodating and sweet , the waiters were unsure of which starters were vegan and which were not which made the non meat eaters feel a little uneasy . An apology was fed back to us from the chef and a 20 % reduction made a little difference , however the items which were being fed back as inedible should have been removed in my humble opinion . In all honesty some of us left feeling somewhat deflated, as we all had very high hopes for this establishment , and as a family of foodies and chefs it wasn’t the culinary experience we had hoped for some of our party but overall was a pleasant experience

Popped in for the first time for several years, lovely meal with a very good and varied menu. Will come again.

Went for a lovely Sunday lunch with our dog. We were in a quiet room which meant we missed out on the Christmas atmosphere, but can't fault them for that, we had a great meal

We had the most superb Sunday lunch . Staff really attentive and on the ball. Food gorgeous… we will definitely be back again soon

My friend and I ate here yesterday evening. The decor and ambience were great. As was the food we were served. However, the service was very amateurish. Examples include: - We were seated but not brought menus or offered drinks (we asked for menus after 20 minutes) - The waiter took my friends food order, then turned and left (I was not offered food, this was very upsetting) - My friends dessert came, but with no spoon to eat it with - My friend ordered an extra drink but it did not arrive Very bizarre. The staff seemed very young and whilst friendly they were clearly lacking in any sort of training or organisation. This could be a 5 star pub with some more experienced staff.

Our first visit here & we were delighted with the Sunday roast. We went for the Ultimate roast! The roast beef was outstanding. Topped with pork loin & succulent turkey. The stuffing was perfect, crispy on the edges. And a gnarly price of crackling. Yorkshire puddings were the tastiest I've ever had! Service with smile. Couldn't fault it. Highly recommend! We will be back.

Booked a table of 8 people including 2 grandchildren for my husband’s birthday. Hannah was amazing, after being unable to book online I emailed the restaurant and she sorted us a table even though they were very busy. She emailed me back quickly to answer any questions I had. The meal was lovely, grandchildren ate almost every bit ( little one is very fussy but he finished his whole meal) Service was excellent - staff regularly checking if food was ok and if we needed more drinks etc. The pie and mash was delicious with large chunks of steak, everyone thoroughly enjoyed their pizzas, burgers and chicken meals. My daughter is coeliac and had plenty of choices and she said her meal was delicious. Brought us plates and a knife for the birthday cake - very accommodating. Many thanks for such a lovely evening.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is very welcoming and relaxing. The food was excellent, with plenty of options for vegetarians. The staff were very friendly and helpful, would definitely come here again! ☺️

It was our first time at Ye Olde Bridge Inn, it was recommended by a colleague for our work Christmas Lunch out. The recommendation was really good, I have to admit the staff were all very polite, friendly and very helpful and the food was really good, I cannot fault the food at all. It was quite busy and everyone was being served both food and drink by the very few staff members that were on duty. Although this led to a slight delay in service, not by much, 10 minutes or so. I would definitely recommend Ye Olde Bridge Inn, as a good place to go for good value food and service, in a wonderful place.

Fantastic meal tonight haven’t been here in a few years. by God I was shocked with how nice it looks after a refurb. Staff was very friendly and Helpful and made sure everything was good with our meals It was our best meal out we’ve had an over a year will definitely be recommending to friends and coming back credit to the chefs 🍔 ❤️👌🏼

Another amazing meal here with my step dad, the food is incredible, the interior is beautiful, but ultimately it’s the staff who make it so special, they were so busy, but first class service as always. It’s a special treat pub, for us, but worth it every time. Thank you

Amazing experience, fantastic staff!

Place was very busy as we arrived but we were seated and served very quickly. Nice to find that the voucher I was given on our last visit was still valid. Food was really lovely, full of flavour and well presented. We thought all the staff were lovely, professional and courteous throughout the meal. We will definitely visit again soon.

We had a pod outside, it was great fun, lovely and warm, we had steak pie which was perfect and thank you to all the staff for great service

Went for a Sunday roast, and it is gooood. Everyone’s meals were excellent, well cooked meats, good roasties, impressive Yorkshire’s tasty veg and genuinely lashings of gravy. Orations a lot bigger than expected so great value for money, fast service and really nice staff. One member of our group is Gluten Free and they went the extra mile to ensure everything was gluten free, rare to find somewhere that does a roast where literally every dish is gluten free so no missing out, really impressed by this. Will absolutely go back

Great vegan options, service and quality. Visited for my birthday. Look forward to my next visit. Shout out to Khaya for your amazing service :)

Came for my mums birthday and the food was insane! Massive portions and delicious cocktails😋

Both service and food were excellent. Really enjoyed the veggie sausages and mash - highly recommend. The interior is lovely and cosy. Lovely!

First visit. Very grateful to be accommodated at short notice. Nice roasts and veg. Sausage and mash particularly good.

My first meal here and really enjoyed the brazed steak pie. My wife had scampi and said said the chips were the best she had all year. Will definitely make sure we visit again.
