The best restaurants in Newark and Sherwood East Midlands

Been to this wonderful place before. The food is absolutely to die for. The service is brilliant, friendly and professional. This is our definitely our favourite place to go.

My new favourite place for lunch! Really good beer and really good food. Friendly staff, great relaxed atmosphere. Will be going again ASAP.

Visited Lockdown for the first time and we were both very impressed! Great service, fantastic burgers and a wide selection of drinks. Very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back!

I came here for lunch with my daughter one sunny Saturday in August. It was a lovely day so all the front was open with views of the river. A great menu of small open sandwiches and a few other options. We went for the open sandwiches and they were great. There was a good choice and the bread was soft and the toppings plentiful. Very nice laidback vibe. Service was good and efficient

Fantastic place for toddlers to play and parents to chat. I’ve never known my busy 20 month old be so absorbed in equipment before. It’s easy to keep an eye on your child with clear sight lines while you enjoy a drink and food.

Super little cafe, excellent breakfast, very good value and lovely ingredients lovingly prepared for a hearty breakfast.

Tasty food served by a family run business. I visit this fish bar regularly and have been impressed with the food and also how much they support and care for the community around them. They are always ready to support the local, special needs, Newark Orchard School alongside other worthy causes. Well worth a visit!

Called in for a bite to eat, never been before but I must say I am well impressed! The food is very reasonably priced and it was delicious. The staff were very welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. Will definitely call again.

Great food. Definitely recommend

Went here today with my exercise class. We had hot drink and biscuits then a talk about floral media then a demonstration of a tied bouquet of flowers from the gardens where couples can have their wedding. Then a delicious buffet prepared by Steven plenty of choice and delicious A good outing and warm welcome from Paula and Steven.

Beautiful visit here for a jacket potato and cake not long ago. Food was delicious! Can’t wait for an icecream in the warmer months! Absolute gem of a place

Called in here for a take away cob one Saturday lunch,very friendly service and our order was quickly made up,one Ham salad and one cheese and onion,both were delicious with quality ingredients,this will be our lunch shop from now on.

This place is a little gem! Dropped in on a wet Wednesday and was told about their latest creation, The Cuban Sandwich with Mojo sauce. Wow! It’s got, ham, pulled pork, cheese, pickles, mustard, and I don’t know what else! But it was simply delicious. All the elements combined beautifully to create this culinary masterpiece. The coffees were great too. I also love their attention to detail, everything was beautifully presented and the take-away packaging is environmentally friendly. If I pass through Newark again, I’ll definitely make a bee-line for The Loft.

Visiting our Grandaughter to help move into her new house we decided to go into Lincoln City after a long hard day. We looked around and because of a very long wait at Nando' s, we walked and found homemade burgers. We were greeted by very friendly staff and chose our table. The friendly helpful waiter gave us lots of information about the varied choices of burgers and side dishes with great knowledge of the menu, so we were confident when ordering. I had peppered beef with Mexican chips as a side. It's be Y far the best, tastiest and perfectly cooked burger that I ever eaten. The chips had chilli sauce, guacamole and jalapenos over the top. Excellent food. My wife, daughter and Grandaughter had varied items from the menu and all I can say is there wasn't a need to wash the plates when we had finished. Highly recommended.

Superb micro brewery, brilliant beer selection, outdoor or indoor seating, and a huge gin selection. Highly recommend!
