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

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

A superb jewel in Newark, amazing food and wine. Food can be seen being prepared, lovely ambience, great selection of wines too. Super service, would definitely recommend.

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.

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! 🥔🧀

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.

Lovely food ,well presented . Great atmosphere, attentive staff . Restaurant was roomy enough to get a pushchair round . Well done..

We dropped in for Sunday lunch, as we were staying on the campsite behind the pub. We were warmly welcomed, our drinks order taken at the bar and our food order taken at our table. My wife chose the roast lamb and I had the pork - there are also the options of beef or chicken, plus a vegetarian roast. We chose the standard sized meals not knowing how large they would be. Well, take a look at the attached photos! We were stunned and you can even add another Yorkshire pudding for a quid! The quality of the food was excellent and I can honestly say that this was the first roast I have eaten in nearly 65 years that had ten, (yes, ten!) accompanying portions of vegetables! To say we were stuffed would be an understatement. For those who don’t fancy trying the standard plateful, there is a slightly smaller offering for a quid or so less. Either way, you get a great roast meal for a really reasonable price. For two roasts and two soft drinks, we paid £30.15, which in anyone’s book, is a real deal. Neither of us could manage a dessert, but there are some lovely options! Last, but definitely not least, the staff were lovely and very attentive. We would definitely recommend this pub for a cracking good meal.

When you walk in you are acknowledged and welcomed. Ian is a star in keeping his beers in tip top condition whereas Jackie runs the kitchen with speed and efficiency. The food is real - not boil in the bag and the variation in specifically theme nights every week means you don’t get tired of the menus. This pub is a must if you are within 30 miles its well worth a visit. You won’t be disappointed.

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

Believe Me guys you'll find any better in Newark on Trent...should be Newark IN (the) Trent!!!

Whenever I find myself in Newark this is the place to stay, close enough to the center and has ample parking. Rooms are clean and warm, the staff always make you feel welcome

very friendly place , on main road near all ameneties. Had a late breakfast, very nice . Reasonably priced. Great atmosphere, like it very much

Absolutely gutted that this Wetherspoons closed it's doors. A really handy spot to have a break, a bite to eat and continue on around Newark. A sad, sad loss.

You need to remember your number plate and make sure you type it in when you go there or you will get a 50 quid fine

Delicious Sunday Roast . First class food at fabulous price. Proper home made gravy and superb roast beef and veg . Friendly people and good service
