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

The menu may not look exciting, but the service is superb, and the quiche, calamari, toasties are all truly excllent, served with a wonderful salad with watercress, courgette silices, tomato and avocado. The pâtisserie is worth driving hours for, I have rarely encountered such fine lemon tarts, just bitter enough, but with citron written on the top in dark chocolate to enhance the lemon. There are many lunch options in Southwell, but this is memorable.

We had lunch here at Gunthorpe and was very disappointed. My mother and my wife had steak pie with a sauce that tasted like disinfectant. I had the fish and chips. The fish looked grey and also tasted funny. We mentioned this to our waitress and she apologised and offered us a free dessert or drinks. We ordered coffees. Not the waitresses fault she was very nice and did her best. This was the last meal I had with my mother before she passed and thank the chef for making it memorable for the wrong reason. Dont think I will go back.

Great experience, really accommodating! Manager & Rachel our server was amazing. We even went back for breakfast the next day!
