The best restaurants serving British food in Newark and Sherwood East Midlands

My new favourite place for lunch! Really good beer and really good food. Friendly staff, great relaxed atmosphere. Will be going again ASAP.

Went here today with my exercise class. We had hot drink and biscuits then a talk about floral media then a demonstration of a tied bouquet of flowers from the gardens where couples can have their wedding. Then a delicious buffet prepared by Steven plenty of choice and delicious A good outing and warm welcome from Paula and Steven.

Beautiful visit here for a jacket potato and cake not long ago. Food was delicious! Can’t wait for an icecream in the warmer months! Absolute gem of a place

Visiting our Grandaughter to help move into her new house we decided to go into Lincoln City after a long hard day. We looked around and because of a very long wait at Nando' s, we walked and found homemade burgers. We were greeted by very friendly staff and chose our table. The friendly helpful waiter gave us lots of information about the varied choices of burgers and side dishes with great knowledge of the menu, so we were confident when ordering. I had peppered beef with Mexican chips as a side. It's be Y far the best, tastiest and perfectly cooked burger that I ever eaten. The chips had chilli sauce, guacamole and jalapenos over the top. Excellent food. My wife, daughter and Grandaughter had varied items from the menu and all I can say is there wasn't a need to wash the plates when we had finished. Highly recommended.

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.

we went for a few of pints of Doombar which was excellent, it varies from time to time, and from pub to pub, we were served by Emma a friendly and lovely lady, beefeater are lucky to have her.

Myself and my boyfriend recently stayed here. It is in a perfect location, right in the heart of the countryside. The hosts were wonderful and super friendly. The bed was incredible and the hot tub was just the icing on the cake. There is so much to do in the area and lots to explore.

Wow! Absolutely stunning food. The tasting menu is exceptional. Beautifully paced and balanced with fabulous wine parings. The atmosphere is perfect, relaxed but with a buzz of excitement expectation and delight from all the diners. Every course was packed with flavour and invention, visually appealing delightful eating and delicious fascination with the skill of the chefs. Front of house staff were attentive but unobtrusive creating a truly memorable evening. I can’t wait to dine here again . First class !!

This was a wonderful find and I have been back on a number of occasions. The food is amazing and the staff and atmosphere is brilliant. The sad note to this is that it is closing soon and we will be missing yet another excellent pub due to lack of custom. I’ll be very sad to see the end of yet another amazing establishment.

Proper jackets, nice staff, great portions - perfect. We used to get jackets from this place around 30 years ago, and they’re still as good as I remember them! 🥔🧀

Friendly, homely, pub (with loads of interesting pictures on the walls). Good value and we had fantastic cooked breakfasts too.

Great lunch. we go 3 times a week so must be good .food fresh and hot .haddock fish is so big goes over the plate. Can't fault any of it ..

Amazing food and amazing service, staff were friendly service was quick the food was great and I will definitely be going back

Nice pub with friendly staff and fellow customers. Only went in to keep warm before going to a Southwell Minster Evensong (we like sacred music and fab architecture). Beer okay,excellent home-made sausage rolls straight out of the oven - could have eaten three! Coffee poor but it doesn't set itself up to be a coffee shop. Overall worth a drop in.

We ended up in Newark feeling very hungry, having found the A17 from Norfolk surprisingly void of good cafes. Not been to Newark before and, I'll be honest, the first place we tried, so I can't compare with what's around. However, what we wanted was a place that did a sensible (not too fancy, not too greasy spoon) vegetarian breakfast god coffee and was dog friendly. We had the vegetarian and vegan breakfasts. The veg sausages were particularly good and we all left satisfied and full. We're sticklers for a really good coffee and this was definitely firmly in the good coffee category. Friendly service, really quick and you can see them cooking in the kitchen. The Quiches for the day we're being baked and if we come back, we'll give them a try for sure.
