The best restaurants in Newark and Sherwood East Midlands

Great selection of real ales well worth a visit. If we are ever back in the area we will be calling again

Wow what an amazing find such a lovely little cafe amazing prices very reasonable but the food the venue looking delicious we tried a slice of cake each they was both amazing, I totally recommend this cafe over every other I have been in go and try it.

Been here Several times now and it’s always and nothing but amazing. Never had a bad meal or even a bad dish. Can’t wait to return again

Super little cafe, excellent breakfast, very good value and lovely ingredients lovingly prepared for a hearty breakfast.

Called in here for a take away cob one Saturday lunch,very friendly service and our order was quickly made up,one Ham salad and one cheese and onion,both were delicious with quality ingredients,this will be our lunch shop from now on.

This place is a little gem! Dropped in on a wet Wednesday and was told about their latest creation, The Cuban Sandwich with Mojo sauce. Wow! It’s got, ham, pulled pork, cheese, pickles, mustard, and I don’t know what else! But it was simply delicious. All the elements combined beautifully to create this culinary masterpiece. The coffees were great too. I also love their attention to detail, everything was beautifully presented and the take-away packaging is environmentally friendly. If I pass through Newark again, I’ll definitely make a bee-line for The Loft.

Nothing can describe this experience. You have to try this lovely restaurant with the high quality of homemade Italian food. If you are a food lover, do not miss it 🙂

Friendly staff. Food is always fresh & Generous portion sizes. Definitely recommend. Best chip shop in the area

Brilliant little micro pub with great local ales

A lot has changed in the year since I left my last review which I have now deleted. We visit about once a month. Food is still very good but the service is mostly suboptimal. Could be much more attentive and attuned to customer needs.

There was a big football match on, so the place was crowded and noisy. The staff were pleasant, but I had to go and seek them out a couple of times.

Great spot for friends, work mates or partners lovely place to eat at during the week or during the weekend great atmosphere.

The coffee and cakes are nice enough, and the general atmosphere is pleasant. The outdoor seating with views over the river is a nice place to spend some time, but I was extremely disappointed to have waited 40 minutes for coffee and cake last Friday. The lady who brought it was at least apologetic, but there was a surly member of staff on the counter who pointedly ignored me as I walked in to look at the cakes. We were going to get some actual food but decided against it as we were told there was a wait of 45 minutes. However, there’s no good reason a couple of coffees and cakes should have taken anything like as long as they did, and it’s put me off returning next time I’m in Newark.

Friendly staff, nice cocktails and good food. We had a couple of platters, which were nice, and a couple of cocktails. Staff were attentive and polite.

Tasty food served by a family run business. I visit this fish bar regularly and have been impressed with the food and also how much they support and care for the community around them. They are always ready to support the local, special needs, Newark Orchard School alongside other worthy causes. Well worth a visit!
