The best restaurants in Southwell North Newark and Sherwood East Midlands

Went in for birthday drinks with a voucher sent by the brewery only to be told they won’t honour it and then accused us of leaving a bad review previously. Val behind the bar was very aggressive and hostile from the off. Terrible. Went to the post office in Newark which is the same company and they couldn’t have been more helpful and nice!! Suggest val is in the wrong career

The menu may not look exciting, but the service is superb, and the quiche, calamari, toasties are all truly excllent, served with a wonderful salad with watercress, courgette silices, tomato and avocado. The pâtisserie is worth driving hours for, I have rarely encountered such fine lemon tarts, just bitter enough, but with citron written on the top in dark chocolate to enhance the lemon. There are many lunch options in Southwell, but this is memorable.

This restaurant is surprisingly good and you really should give it a try. Needs a smarten up from the outside, but decor inside is lovely. Four of us had different dishes- all really tasty and authentic. Great poppadoms and naans too. Good friendly service.

Had a market stall outside the pub today & I just wanted to say the landlady was fantastic! If she looks after customers the way she looked after us I can imagine it's a cracking place to socialise in. Thank you!

Lovely cafe with staff to match but the coffee was as weak as you know what which is a shame because the cafe itself is really nice. A new coffee machine required!

This coffee house looks impressive from the outside but be warned it is very pricey. We ordered to lattes + two small mince pies, total cost: £14.00 The service was very good but there were no individual prices shown on the display as you walked in. We couldn’t find anywhere displaying the price of the small mince pies anywhere. Couldn’t believe it when we came to pay even the receipt only showed total cost no individual prices of what we had. We shall not be frequenting this coffee house again.

Visiting an establishment that titles itself 'All Mine Cakes . . .' we had the impression that we would be presented with a display of cakes from which to make our choice. A grave error! No cakes on display at all, the nearest to 'cakes' is a blackboard listing what is available, which I was advised to take a photograph and make our choice at our table. It seemed significant that scones were on display and a large number of customers ordered scones. During our visit no one ordered cake - you do not order what you cannot see. Reading through the menu the outstanding point was the price for each item. Far from saying the prices were a rip-off, they seemed 'over the top' (in my opinion). Most probably the quality is very good, but not that good. Still - you have to try these things once, I just have to ensure I do not make the same mistake twice.

The most disgusting curry we have ever had It was a treat but couldn’t finish it Chicken tikka masala was full of coconut!?! My veg Balti had sprouts in ?!?! Onion bhajis dry Will not be returning

Mosedale’s staff welcomed me and my dog (Bruce) with a kind smile as soon as we entered. A wide variety of filled rolls and paninis was on offer. I must recommend treating yourself to a superb Carrot Cake! All in all I would definitely recommend!
