The best restaurants in Castle Newark and Sherwood East Midlands

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.

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.

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

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.

Wow! Absolutely stunning food. The tasting menu is exceptional. Beautifully paced and balanced with fabulous wine parings. The atmosphere is perfect, relaxed but with a buzz of excitement expectation and delight from all the diners. Every course was packed with flavour and invention, visually appealing delightful eating and delicious fascination with the skill of the chefs. Front of house staff were attentive but unobtrusive creating a truly memorable evening. I can’t wait to dine here again . First class !!

Great wee pub, excellent beers and service

The real deal. Will be going back. Great for ales and the food is phenomenal

This place is so beautiful !. The staff were friendly. The coffee was tasty and the cake was fresh and delicious . We will definitely be back again.

Delicious curry as ever. The seafood starter (pictured) was great too.

I wish my curries tasted like this.

The food at this restaurant is good, and the lady running it is friendly. However, the service was extremely slow. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty when we arrived, it took over 40 minutes to receive our breakfast. With only one staff member handling everything—both serving and cooking—it's clear that the place is severely understaffed. While the food is nice, be prepared for a long wait, and don't plan on being anywhere soon after your visit.

We visited from London and honestly best Nepali food we’ve ever had. The food was warm and tasteful. Hospitality is out of this world, all the staff are very attentive and friendly. Will definitely visit again when I’m in Newark.

Disgusting food. They must be reheating old chicken and putting it in the curry’s. The chicken was dry and chewy not fresh at all. We left without finishing our mains. I will be finding a new Thai restaurant from now on.

Stood at the front of the queue whilst the poor employee made 4 subs Infront of me for two separate deliveroo orders. Took 20 mins until served. No apology given. Absolutely shocking. I'll think twice about coming here until the policy changes.
