The Old Lock House Newark

This is a fantastic cafe. The service is quick and welcoming, the coffee is top-notch, the cakes are absolutely delicious, and the setting is stunning.

I recently visited this restaurant with my family and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was fantastic. I highly recommend this place!

I had a wonderful dining experience at this charming café located right by the river. The staff were friendly and the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely return in the future.

The Old Lock House is a new discovery for us via Leisa Pickles her brilliant venture 'to my front door ' that we found while looking on a popular social media site.The Old Lock House dealt with our VE Day afternoon tea order perfectly, pre-paid, delivered with sunny smiles and appropriate social distancing. We appreciate how difficult lockdown what will follow is for hospitality businesses The Old Lock House team worked wonders. Delicious carrot cake, brownies, moist fresh tasty sandwiches, fruit scones a special mention for yummy strawberry jam.For the celebratory day in extraordinary national circumstances, The Old Lock House delivered a special treat.[This was a lockdown home delivery in Newark, Nottinghamshire]

We went here for afternoon tea. I’d requested no fish or macarons, both were served. The unlimited drinks were served by the cup and as service was so slow, we got two drinks, that we had to chase up before we had to leave.The fruit scones were lacking in fruit and tough and chewy, they were exchanged for more of the same. Two other ladies returned theirs for the same reason. No replacement or reduction in the bill was offered. There was a good selection of cakes and a lovely setting that gave value for money but the experience was spoilt by lack of drinks, edible scones and poor service. Tables that were full of previous customers crockery were still like it when we left.
