The best restaurants in Castle Newark and Sherwood East Midlands

Large cup of Hot Chocolate with delicious cream is really large. Looks amazing. Location of Costa is good. Just next to one of main roads in Newark. Close to Mark and Spencer and close to BP petrol station. Small but new interior of cafe makes this place unique. It's not my last visit here. Will cone back for another cup of hot chocolate

We had such a lovely meal at The Ram. The staff were so friendly and the food was delicious. Really reasonably priced for high-end food in a lovely setting. Will definitely return.

We dropped in for Sunday lunch, as we were staying on the campsite behind the pub. We were warmly welcomed, our drinks order taken at the bar and our food order taken at our table. My wife chose the roast lamb and I had the pork - there are also the options of beef or chicken, plus a vegetarian roast. We chose the standard sized meals not knowing how large they would be. Well, take a look at the attached photos! We were stunned and you can even add another Yorkshire pudding for a quid! The quality of the food was excellent and I can honestly say that this was the first roast I have eaten in nearly 65 years that had ten, (yes, ten!) accompanying portions of vegetables! To say we were stuffed would be an understatement. For those who don’t fancy trying the standard plateful, there is a slightly smaller offering for a quid or so less. Either way, you get a great roast meal for a really reasonable price. For two roasts and two soft drinks, we paid £30.15, which in anyone’s book, is a real deal. Neither of us could manage a dessert, but there are some lovely options! Last, but definitely not least, the staff were lovely and very attentive. We would definitely recommend this pub for a cracking good meal.

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.

On our way to Lincoln but got stranded due to floods and blocked roads. Saw the White Swan Inn So popped in and asked could we possibly stay the night on the carpark in our motorhome. No hesitation,we were welcomed and given perfect directions on how to avoid floods in the morning. We ate a very large delicious piping hot Roast meal with a big jug of gravy. Washed down with great beers. Lovely atmosphere,very reasonable price for the food and drinks. Back to the motorhome with our new directions to Lincoln. Slept like logs. Will definitely call back and really recommend The White Swan for great food and great hosts.

Didn’t arrive after 1 hour 38 mins so far

Great place on a sunny day, right next to the river.

Popped in for a quick lunch. Good selection on the lunch menu and decently priced. Food was very tasty and the staff were excellent. Table service was a pleasant surprise. We'll be back next time we're in Newark!

Great little place. Have eaten here on a previous occasion. Helpful staff, relaxed with no time pressure. Other diners meals looked excellent in terms of both portion size and preparation

Now closed and has been for a few months now

I had a coffee and a scone . It is expensive and the scone was ok but nothing special ,it was crumbly . The staff were friendly . It isn’t very smart inside , not because it’s an old building but needs improvement .

The menu says Cod & Haddock but it's not that and they should not be selling disgusting fish as a substitute.

Nice people, great atmosphere, a real English pub.

A hidden gem, just parked up this evening and had a Bacon cheese burger and chips! The best truck stop dinner I’ve ever had! Would 10/10 recommend and the staff and manager are all lovely! Thanks :)

I really enjoyed the service and the food was top noch same it has closed it should reopen so I can eat there every day
