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

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.

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 !!

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.

Four very nice meals. We had a rib eye steak, pie of the day, vegetarian wellington, & liver & bacon. Well presented & served with a smile. Waited about 25 minutes - good time for fresh tasty food. Followed by sticky toffee pudding & cheesecakes. Nothing left on plates! Clean throughout with ample close by parking. Thank you. Very reasonable prices. Will return.

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

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.

What a great little bar and restaurant! We loved it.

Me and my friends had a lovely time here dressed up in our steampunk finery, locals were very friendly and welcoming

I am so grateful for Colin Middleton, working the night shift on Saturday 23rd Nov. He went above and beyond!

Service was fast and food was great. A nice, cosy like-home coffee shop. Home made dessert was amazing and toilets were clean.

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.

Popped in for Lunch, we both had carvery, it was lovely and hot.

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