The best restaurants in Castle Newark and Sherwood East Midlands

Baseri is a really special restaurant. The food is beautiful, but what really stands out is the incredible hospitality. The staff are attentive, generous and kind. They make fantastic recommendations and fill the restaurant with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Great food, friendly staff and fair pricing. Such a great place for food and drink anytime of the day.

This has turned into my 'go to' place for lunch in Newark. The welcome is always genuine, the food & service are good, and I'm pleased to see that it is usually busy on a lunchtime. Have to admit, I regularly go past on my daily walk and the smells coming from the restaurant are always amazing, one of these days I'll go in for breakfast or Sunday lunch. I started to go back to the Swan and Salmon first after Covid, and then after the devastating floods we've had here in recent years, feeling like I wanted to support them. Now I just go back because everything about the place is good. One of the better lunch spots in Newark, and given how many people were in there today, I'm not the only person who thinks that.

Great atmosphere, great food, good beer 🍺 Best Live Music Venue in Newark

Gentleman welcomed us and was so helpful and accommodating. Beautifully decorated for autumn/Halloween. Comfortable bay seating. Couple of steps into cafe, toilets upstairs. Wonderful porridge and extensive breakfast combo menu. Great food and lovely staff in a pretty cafe, could not ask for more.

Have been going here for an Indian both sitting in and getting takeaways for years. I have tried many Indians, this one is by far the best I have had. Food is always warm and tasty, service is always spot on. 10/10 would recommend.

Came to Newark to drop off the RV at Brownhills. Walked into this delightful market town. Strolled along the canal and wandered into the Ram. We were welcomed in by a charming man who couldn’t do enough for us. He came to take our drinks order from the table. Got the dog a water bowl all with a cheery smile. Food excellent, service impeccable! We will be back.

I was looking forward to dining here as a coeliac but the service I had wasn’t exactly accompanied with a smile. The gluten free pancakes that I ordered were delicious but unfortunately they clearly were not gluten free due to the terrible reaction I had later on that day.. very disappointing. Even though I confirmed with the waitress that the pancakes were gluten free!

We used to use it weekly, now they are very regularly, running out of Jacket potatoes, and Paninis, before 12 30, they always say, they are waiting for deliveries, why wouldn't you order more stock each time ? [ if you are going to reply, you haven't got the storage space ?, then start using the Morrisons supermarket 100 yards away to restock, until your delivery arrives ?, as I have suggested numerous times ], the last time we visited, there was a lady doing the cooking, and the food was not good, there was a tiniest slither of Brie, on our Cobb, [ we wanted a panini, but they had run out again ] hardy any cranberry, and the bacon not well done, as we had asked for, the place needs a refurb, the staff are always nice. we will try it again, I am hopeful, that after they read our review, things might change.

Four very nice meals. We had a rib eye steak, pie of the day, vegetarian wellington, & liver & bacon. Well presented & served with a smile. Waited about 25 minutes - good time for fresh tasty food. Followed by sticky toffee pudding & cheesecakes. Nothing left on plates! Clean throughout with ample close by parking. Thank you. Very reasonable prices. Will return.

Lovely food ,well presented . Great atmosphere, attentive staff . Restaurant was roomy enough to get a pushchair round . Well done..

Can't comment on the food as it never arrived. Tried contacting them several times but the phone was switched off and the place was obviously closed. How hard can it be to not take orders and payments when you aren't open?

Literally come here all the time to meet my parents, they even know my coffee order when I walk in which always feels lovely. Staff are friendly and can’t do enough for you or the dogs which they always make a fuss of! Lovely to have a nice family coffee shop where you can come to meet your own family with the dogs!

When you walk in you are acknowledged and welcomed. Ian is a star in keeping his beers in tip top condition whereas Jackie runs the kitchen with speed and efficiency. The food is real - not boil in the bag and the variation in specifically theme nights every week means you don’t get tired of the menus. This pub is a must if you are within 30 miles its well worth a visit. You won’t be disappointed.

Tried to ring to warn them of 13 people for breakfast but they had no phone but surprisingly a served us up very quickly was impressed
