The best restaurants in Newark and Sherwood East Midlands

If you take your coffee (or tea) seriously, you must pop into the Major Coffee shop. They will make your coffee to order from the beans of your choice (they stock a remarkable range) and it invariably tastes fantastic. The same goes for their range of teas. Friendly, prompt service and very inexpensive (I thought so, for the quality of the products) and if you sit in, rather than takeaway, you can enjoy the mellow blues playing low on the sound system. Super atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic Vietnamese restaurant! The phở here is more flavoursome than many of the 'famous' Vietnamese spots in London—it brought back memories of the cafes in Vietnam. The waitor was incredibly friendly and helpful, making for a very pleasant dining experience. Plus, it's toddler-friendly, which is obviously a bonus for families. Definitely a real gem for Newark and highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine!

Taylors services amazing food beautiful to look at and tasting even better. The service is just wonderful and I can’t recommend Taylor’s highly enough

Nice little cafe stop on our way back from Melton, very nice brunch in the garden room

Fabulous array of delicious tapas food. Lovely cosy setting with very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be returning soon.

This is a lovely place with very friendly staff. It's also dog friendly. Within a few minutes of sitting down, they bought out water and food for my dog, it was so unexpected and lovely. They have a good value "drink and a meal" menu. My wife had mussels, which came with a lovely seafood cream sauce and bread, and I had ravioli, which was also very nice. There's a very good selection on the menu, and I think it's going to take quite a few visits to work through it. There are numerous gluten free and vegan options, so it should suit most people. They offer some very nice cocktails, the ones we tried were very impressive. We also had something off the desert menu. There's a good selection, we had the cheesecake and it was lovely. We won't hesitate to visit again. Edit: We've been going back for a number of months, and absolutely love the place. The great food and wonderful staff really make this place feel ma Edit 2: We're still going back to this place. They've updated the menu to keep things fresh. I think they've done it a couple of times since we've been going. The food is still wonderful and the staff are all really lovely. Edit 3: We still love this place. They've recently won some well deserved awards. It's great to see such nice people do so well. Edit 4: We've just gone back after their most recent menu update. We tried a new dish, crab filled pasta, it's absolutely lovely. We will be back again soon.

Delicious, But a bit messy. But this can be a nice thing (With plates). But without plates this can be problematic

Excellent micropub with a great selection of quality beers and cider. Friendly staff and regulars.

What a lovely little cafe. Found via TripAdvisor, this proved to be as good as people said. Meals were above average prices but worth every penny and nothing, not even the side salad (which was lovely), was left on the plates afterwards. Even went back in and took some scones with us for a mid-afternoon snack. Weather was good so we were outside with 2 dogs who enjoyed seeing other dogs going to the nearby groomers. We will be back in the future.

Amazing tapas. Was a little cramped. Very small inside

Such a welcoming place to visit. We visit quite regularly and the people and atmosphere is great.

Nice food and friendly staff. Was personally served by the chef - what a delight! I had spaghetti with chicken and top it off with a glass of diet coke. Also bought a piece of Japanese pound earl grey cake to share with my husband.

The real deal. Will be going back. Great for ales and the food is phenomenal

Great food as always. Issue with order was sorted really well and quickly thank you

Amazing food from Zoe and her team would defo recommend
