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

Stayed here after reading some good reviews . Pleasant welcome by a young man at the bar - full payment taken on arrival . Downhill after that Room was ok - not large for a ‘double’ Bathroom sink so small you bump your head on the shelf - and on washing your face water spills on your legs, feet and the floor. Bed ok, but no blanket and I was cold . First morning my room was tidied but the bed left unmade . Breakfast poor, with microwaved rubber scrambled eggs and no choice of bread - just white rubbish . No fruit, fresh or tinned . Second night the fire alarm sounded at 3.15 am, and continued for 4-5 mins before it was deactivated . No explanation or apology from any staff, then or the following morning . Booked a table on arrival, in the bar for dinner in order to watch the England game . Asked large assistant manager ? If she could change TV channel and turn up volume slightly - to which she replied she’d ’get into trouble’! Not allowed - she said ! Finally convinced her that it was England playing an important semi. …. All breakfasts poor - dinner that evening also poor . Last morning there was NO HOT WATER to wash and shower . At breakfast I told a member of staff I was unable to shower or shave - he was totally disinterested! On leaving nobody asked about our stay / or even said thank you or goodbye . A total waste of money

Outstanding pub food and service. Beef cheek literally melting. Crispiest fish batter I’ve ever had. Definitely will be going back to try more of the menu

Looking for something different - phone and book a table at least 24 hours before going and discuss what you like to eat - ask for different and enjoy gorgeous food. If gluten free /coeliac this is a perfect place to have gorgeous food and not the ‘off the shelf’ style either - far from it. Alan consistently produces delicious food with portions that can be varied as requested. Otherwise if dropping by - the menu is great pub style and puddings to make anyone smile. The beer is good too with a decent range of ciders. Great outdoor space for families and gatherings too. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. One of my favourite places to eat chill and chat.

Just been for lunch with my friend and was served by Jordan who was the perfect host.. Had a fabulous experience and wonderful food. Definitely be back again.

Visited for Sunday lunch. First of all the food was very good. We ordered roast beef and a roast pork belly. Both well cooked and with all the trimmings. The only complaint and it is a general one, is that the place was very busy, we were crammed in and felt that the tables were too close together. I think that the pub has become a victim of its own success.

Bank holiday Monday. Group of 6 of us. Very nice food, lovely staff and a great pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord bitter. Thank you.

Quiz with Tom and Sam was great, they kept it fun and fair with their questions. The pub had some great vibes all round and the staff were very friendly and accommodating!
