The best restaurants in Southwell East Newark and Sherwood East Midlands

Good local pub and friendly staff

It was nice and quiet when we visited (mid week) Friendly and a atmosphere when the clock tower bell sounded .

We love this pub for so many reasons, great service, fab food with all your pub classics. Comfy seating area and warm atmosphere, not to mention the outside in summer. Fantastic sun spot ! Thanks from the Team for yet another great meal.

As one earlier contributor mentioned it is ‘card only’ but is clearly stated on the door. What a wonderful pub this is. It’s like stepping back in time and has a super range of draft ales, craft ales, ciders and some stouts too. The beer was excellent and served by knowledgable bar staff who clearly know their subject. The interior of the pub retains a quirky railway theme and it was spotlessly clean and had a good trade mid afternoon on a wet Tuesday. There is plenty of choice for non beer drinkers too. A lovely range of bar snacks available too. A real gem of a pub and I’d strongly recommend a visit to this CAMRA award winning venue.

As fairly frequent visitors to the tearooms over the past few years, we knew that the lady in charge could make cakes, but today she surpassed herself!

Very poor welcome with slow attention to seating even when Cafe is half empty. Waited a while once shown a table but gave up in the end. Not very good service and very unfriendly welcome. Such a shame when the Cathedral is absolutely brilliant. Needs attention to detail as it would be a superb addition to the lovely Cathedral.
