The best restaurants in Newark and Sherwood East Midlands

We had lunch here at Gunthorpe and was very disappointed. My mother and my wife had steak pie with a sauce that tasted like disinfectant. I had the fish and chips. The fish looked grey and also tasted funny. We mentioned this to our waitress and she apologised and offered us a free dessert or drinks. We ordered coffees. Not the waitresses fault she was very nice and did her best. This was the last meal I had with my mother before she passed and thank the chef for making it memorable for the wrong reason. Dont think I will go back.

Good drinks selection. Good sun spot for a few drinks. Nice location, friendly staff.

Been going there for many years for special occasions and Sunday dinners and also Christmas day. Once the place was sold the place went down hill very expensive for what food we got and the food wasn't great very fatty beef for our 10 year old daughter the place isn't good enough to be a adult only place and will never visit again with out our children very disappointed

It was a quiet night for a quick drink but pleasant enough and nice friendly guys behind the bar

Call in with my partner on way home from Newark looks a nice place. States that's its home cooked food. I had the scampi witch was clear bag of frozen scampi from farm foods and frozen fries not home cooked at all and over priced for the quality of food won't go again🤣

The worst gyros I have ever tried. Basically it's got nothing to do with the Greek gyros. The chicken was not even gyros style. Pita was cold and old. Just awful. The location was good and the pricing reasonable but that's about it. Not recommended

I have been a client for 4 years, I always come back there, the food is always fresh and delicious, the service is always smiling. This place has an amazing atmosphere, I highly recommend it.

Great pub, very clean, plenty of parking. Staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful. Dog friendly inside with treats and water provided. Great choice of drinks including draught and bottles. Pool table and TV's showing sport. Delicious food and good menu with specials too and not overpriced. Highly recommend a visit, we will be coming back to sample more drinks and food 😋

Really friendly and helpful staff

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 :)

Went for Sunday lunch and had the roast beef which was cooked pink, perfectly,as were the vegetables. Proper homemade Yorkshire puddings and real gravy. The belly pork was superb with beautiful crackling. The burger was amazing as well. Finished off with a sticky toffee pudding and panacota. Beautiful food in relaxed atmosphere with friendly service.

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.

The workers are very friendly and the food was very quick to be served. Definitely recommend

Edited. Previously was a good review, however since finding out how badly staff and suppliers were treated by the owner I wish I’d never stepped inside the place. Seemingly the owner isn’t capable of running a fit and proper business, which is perhaps why this has now closed down in Newark.
