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

Visited today for a Celebration of life following a funeral. Near to Church where Funeral Service took place. Nice old friendly seemingly well managed Pub / Restaurant in the easy to access Village.

Popped in whilst walking the dog earlier .great little spot to sit in the sun next to the river and enjoy a pint. Great walks either way. Drinks averagely priced with a good range . We will be back

I usually enjoy every meal at Gannets for its freshness and the friendly staff. However yesterday I had a feta quiche and for some reason had cubes of beetroot in it which were tasteless and spoiled the taste and texture of the quiche. Might I suggest to not use the beetroot in future.

Atmosphere very sombre, hard to have conversation due to it being very silent. Service very slow, felt like I was a child being told when to go for the carvery. All staff including managers don't know how to provide service with a smile, very miserable. Cutlery blunt, struggled to cut through especially the very tough beef, gravy was like water and the cauliflower cheese needed armbands as the sauce was also very runny, possibly powdered. Plates are tiny and can't fit much on, Toby carvery is definitely a better option. Also only accepts card, wanted to split the bill and that seemed like a chore

Fabulous place to stay lovely room everything you needed in there fab breakfast Had evening meal in restaurant staff absolutely wonderful friendly and efficient food really great and well priced

I brought my Nana here today for Sunday Lunch and it was perfect! The service was excellent, food came out quickly and was delicious. I had the pork loin dinner which came with Yorkshire, stuffing, pig in blanket, parsnip, roast, mash and various vegetables that come separately. It was huge! I felt they went beyond too as my Nana struggles to walk. So the chef noticed this and opened the side doors meaning it was less for her to walk back to the car. No complaints and booked again for next weekend. Thankyou very much for a very enjoyable visit. I would definitely recommend.

It was nice and quiet when we visited (mid week) Friendly and a atmosphere when the clock tower bell sounded .

I really hate writing this review but was so dissatisfied with our food that I feel I need to warn others We decided to stop on our way home from work. The husband had gammon, egg and chips and I had chicken breast with Brie and brandy:cream sauce The husbands was swimming in grease with frozen chips, mine was shredded chicken (not breast) in a greasy sauce with frozen roasties and veg that had been on the boil all week I had a couple mouthfuls of mine but couldn’t eat any more It cost us £43.70 - including 2 drinks We will not be returning which is such a shame as we thought this could be our go to place for food locally

Superb home cooked food at a very reasonable price. Friendly staff. Good informal atmosphere on a rugged old boat. Definitely worth visiting.

Birthday luncheon, we hadn't planned to come here, we met a butcher at Rutland show, he had just opened a bistro in Sherwood, unfortunately is was not open today. Being probably the hottest day of the year I did not want to travel too far, we have seen Launay's on a previous visit to Edwinstowe. We were the on dinners in the restaurant. I found the chairs a little too low and not quite supportive. Starters which we share were salmon wasabi pea puree and fennel citrus sperified balls, absolutely fantastic then chorizo cumberland and a wonderfully cooked egg. Mains, fried pulled pork and a sousvide steak, I had to try it because I sousvide at home, however I felt that it lacked taste and was a little dry. the tomato relish was pretty good, served in an old marmalade jar. dessert was to die for, basil cheesecake with micro lemon balm Definitely be back to ravage the a la carte menu

Great friendly place. Fabulous food, good prices and lovely staff. They couldn't have made us feel more comfortable. Definitely going to visit again.

We love this pub for so many reasons, great service, fab food with all your pub classics. Comfy seating area and warm atmosphere, not to mention the outside in summer. Fantastic sun spot ! Thanks from the Team for yet another great meal.

Went for Sunday lunch with family. All the staff were brilliant and the atmosphere was good - nice to have a pianist playing while we ate. However the vegan version of the roast dinner wasn’t great. There was a nut roast listed on the website menu however when we got there it had been replaced by a different option. It was a spiced cauliflower patty which tasted good but didn’t fit on a roast dinner IMO. We were told that the mash wasn’t vegan so we would get extra roast potatoes instead, but we only got three small roasties each and when we queried this, we were told you usually only get two. The greens were inconsistent; I had a pile of kale while my cousin had green beans. The carrots and parsnips were rock hard (and cooked with honey so not truly vegan). The vegan dinner felt a bit measly compared to the others, with very little effort to substitute items or present a filling plate of food worth the price tag.

What an amazing experience we had for Sunday lunch. Carvery was to die for as had 4 meats with as much as u like for £10.50. Bargain. Roast potatoes and yorkies were perfect (let’s face it that’s the litmus test of a quality carvery!!). Even gave us meat for our 2 dogs. Kids meals were a good size for £3.75 (bargain!) and the pie of the day was a choice of three - steak was fantastic as full to the brim with meat! 7 of us ate with drinks and 5 had dessert for £100 which is for the quality of the food and the service was unbelievable. Staff were so friendly and made us feel more welcome than any restaurant I’ve ever been to anywhere in the world. It has a large car park and small play area for the kids at the front

Need to tidy up outside. Weeds everywhere and generally scruffy. Car park at the back is very messy and there is a smoking area with an assortment of seats for staff on their fag break at the side. The front door is very scratched. Gets better once you are inside. Staff friendly. Just needs more TLC and effort.
