Ye Olde Bridge Inn in Newark and Sherwood

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 😂

Amazing food and great atmosphere

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.

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.

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. 🥲

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.

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

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

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

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.

Excellent food, location & staff.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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.

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 🍔 ❤️👌🏼

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! ☺️

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😋

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

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

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.

In a pod outside different dining experience 😌

Absolutely gorgeous food! Today i had the parmesan chicken from the autumn menu and it was delicious! By far my favourite meal I've had here, so good that i thought id leave a review.

We have loved this pub/ restaurant for years, after just visiting we were hugely disappointed. The Sunday roasts are served on small plates so children’s portions are received, the stuffing was so small, and the crackling was the size of a 50p! The worst thing is the service, I actually felt like I had put the staff out by being there. So disappointed, the usual family who are there were always so helpful and friendly. ☹️

We booked a pod for a family gathering and we all had a really nice time the atmosphere and the staff and the food was amazing the young waitress that was there is a credit to you business

Excellent service and the food was amazing. Good portions and would defo eat here again.

Had a wonderful meal last night celebrating my dad’s b’day. Food was outstanding however the service from Sophie is what truly made the experience out of this world. She was attentive without being overwhelming, she knew her products and was able to give us recommendations, her friendly manner made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. A true credit to the establishment. Can’t wait to visit again. Thank you Sophie

This pub has the best pub food I have ever had, second to none. It is more like good restaurant food. Visited from reading a review and was blown away and after this, this pub became myself and friends go to place. Visited tonight for a work retirement do and all of my colleagues were blown away by how amazing the food is. The pub itself and decor is beautiful and the staff are amazing. Can’t sing this pubs praises highly enough, excellent

Visited here today weds 18th Sept 2024 on our way home from Southwell. Plenty of parking and lots of outside tables. We sat inside, menu was ok though a bit pricey to what we normally pay. Food was good, well presented and hot.

Nice food although on the pricey side.

Excellent service & the Sunday roast was delicious

Outstanding served 18 people no issues

Great place, great food, and great staff

We came here on bank holiday Monday for a family meal, I’d booked a dome as we came here before last year and saw how cool they looked. We had a speaker in there to connect our phones to - to play our own music, loved that! Fairy lights and a fan which was perfect as when we got in it was a little warm. All food was beautiful, it’s not often you go out for dinner and can say that all 3 courses were great. You have a little button to press for a waitress but we didn’t actually need it until the end to ask for the bill because the staff were so attentive. Upon booking a £45 payment was taken for the dome, I thought this was a deposit but it was a hire payment for using the dome, completely my error for not reading the small print but for a special treat or an occasion this is perfect. The play area at the back is great, lots to do including trampolines and a big play park. We will definitely be back, thank you 🥰

Food was sublime, we really enjoyed the lunch set menu options. Service was impeccable too! Khaya catered to our table and she was an absolute pleasure throughout. Definitely worth the trip!

I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a meal so much. Everything was so delicious! Lovely menu. Very nice service too, with polite & friendly staff; relaxed environment. Already booked again for a special birthday celebration.

Beautiful pub, amazing food and wonderful service. Shout out to Khaya who was friendly, efficient and lovely! I wish those wad our local!

Lovely food! Staff always friendly and helpful

The food was simply amazing, as was the service.

Have been a number of times in the past but felt our most recent visit was a let down. The staff seemed to not care, they weren’t great when dealing with food allergies and the food which we received was adequate. Not sure I’ll rush back.

Lovely as always - we keep coming back! Food is always delicious, really accommodating of allergen requirements and very friendly staff. Menu changes every so often, so you always have something new to try. The outside area is lovely, and suitable for so many different occasions and celebrations. Highly recommend and will be back again and again!

Fantastic choice of place to celebrate my 30th birthday with family! We had a dog friendly private dining area. The staff were very attentive. The food was fantastic for everyone. We had starters and main. The staff then brought out my cake and gave me a card too. We couldn’t have asked for better. We will most definitely be back!

We got to the pub 4ish on a Sunday. We had a table booked. When we got there we were told there were no more Sunday dinners left!! We were offered either sausage dinner or the vegetarian dinner. I had a salad!

Had to pre order 16 oz steak ,which the only option cooked ,was well done,also when it arrived it was only a 10oz ....very disappointed

Lovely pub with good food but the old woman behind the bar was really grumpy and a bit rude. Maybe she was having a bad day, but that wasn't my fault.

Another lovely meal at this nice location. Sat outside and enjoyed the outdoor seating Food was lovely and I think my Greek Bean Salad was the best I’ve eaten in a long time Homemade Nachos were really good! We also ordered the Parmigiana Chicken Burger which was loved by the person who ordered it.

Popped in for a drink as we've driven past the place a few times and the funky outdoor pods caught our eye. As expected, it's a really nice looking venue inside and out - a mixture of cosy traditional pub and modern bar. Inside, it's quite snug broken into three rooms - which all looked to have an emphasis on food. Outside, there's a large garden area with plenty of benches and a decent sized area for young kids. plenty of parking available. The pods looked really nice and looked suitable for large and small groups. Didn't try the food but everything we saw come out of the kitchen looked really good. Drinks were expensive and the bar service was quite slow. Update: been back to try the food and was as good as it appeared in photos. Had the mini fish and chips and tacos. Fish and chips was outstanding. Update: Been back several times now, all good I've tried has been outstanding.

Food very good. Could do with wider choice on menu

Absolutely amazing, definitely the best pizza we had for a long time around here.

We went here for Sunday dinner as friends said it was an excellent Sunday roast. We were not disappointed. There is a very good menu which accodates for food allergies as well as vegetarian options. The meal I had was more than enough and the home made yorkshire pudding was fantastic

Nice place, perfect for young kids with a great outdoor area, shame the food let them down, starters were nice, got the sausage main and had lumpy mash, found a whole boiled potato in mine. Someone else got the same meal as me and they got barely any mash compared to mine, when they asked for more they were told they would need to order more! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere just a shame about the food and how they handle dissatisfied customers.

Such a lovely establishment. Large children's play area. Outdoor pods are a quirky bonus. A giraffe. Lovely food. Excellent service from pleasant staff. Khaya in particular was excellent. Highly recommend this for a fabulous dining experience.

You know when you go somewhere new and it just hits a chord that you love.... That's here. Go try it out. ❤️

Bit expensive for a Coke and bag of crisps each!

Overall it was nice, small carpark and a park for the kids

Good food, service and ale selection. Great outdoor area for families and indeed for wedding receptions, parties etc. Nice little outdoor "pods" to sit in, if weather is bad.

Lovely decor. Sunday Roast was lovely although the plate was too small for the amount of food they served.

Celebrated my birthday there with my family 9th June, we had s mixed orders of food but Sunday roasts was a bot cold apart from that we had a good time

Very quiet on a Saturday night, food okay but not worth the money

Great beer. The kids play area is fantastic and well maintained.

Impromptu lunch here. Great service, food was lovely. However room was freezing cold!

The whole place food service and outdoor facilities are fantastic.

Nice little pub with friendly service.

This pub we pass a lot on our travels between Kelham and Nottingham via Southwell. We moved to Kelham about a year ago and like to go out for Sunday lunch as a family. We have tried other freinds recommendations around the area, where we live and have been really Impressed with the standard and presentation of the food. We decided to try this pub last Sunday. Nice welcome on arrival, and duly sat at a nice table. A young waitress looked after us and was very efficient all the way through our meal. We placed our orders and the food came out. The food looked nice but on a closer inspection my meal was served wrong, but the waitress soon changed it for me. My wife was dissapointed in her meal as there was only one slice of beef and the size of the plates were small compared with other pubs we have visited. My elderly father had a child's beef and he also had 1 slice which was fair enough. I made a comment, only having 1 slice of beef, then a team member brought my wife another slice. The Cauliflower cheese was a bit watery and the stalks were tough. The taste of the food was good but for the price of £18 for a roast, and only 1 slice of meat this was not good value for the money. The Yorkshire pudding was very big and it made it hard to navigate the rest of the meal with being served on a small dinner plate. Like I said earlier the service was great and deserved the 5* rating.

What a beautiful place for tapas for myself and my friend today. The staff and food were Amazing thank you for making it memorable

Can I just say a great big thank you to Hannah, Katy and Lucy for all their help with organising my wife's special birthday evening. The food was marvellous once again, everyone made comments as to how good it was. Nothing was too much trouble on the night with prompt and excellent service from all your staff. A special thank you to Poppy for her making sure everyone in our party was catered for, she's a credit to you. We will see you all again soon, very soon. P.S. thank you for Lynn's kind gift, she's looking forward to using it. All the best to you and all the staff for a continuing success at Ye Olde Bridge Inn. Ian & Lynn

All good, lunchtime visit. Not too busy, ideal for us to have catch up time with our daughter.

Lovely day brilliant food was great

Popped in for lunch, totally unplanned. Welcomed on arrival. Offered a table in the restaurant. Excellent, varied choice of food. Had a delicious meal.
