The Royal Oak - Newark and Sherwood

First impressions really good. Drinks served and ordered light lunch. There is an open kitchen where you can see the food pass. Unfortunately part of our order sat there for approx 10mins and the rest at least 5 mins. We sat looking at it. It was ignored by serving staff and even more orders were added the the pass which was getting very full. Staff were busy serving drinks but seemed to get priorities wrong. When food did eventually arrived it was extremely tasty but only warm. Such a shame. I would return, if only to see if our experience has been taken on board!

Called here for a drink after driving from Yorkshire before visiting the village church. Very welcoming staff, nice atmosphere and clean establishment, nothing to dislike. Worth a visit.

Cannot thank MINA and staff and customers for your support and care following an unfortunate incident with our Sister. Mina took control and organised taxi and drink for us. Kept us calm. Fabulous woman! Thank you all so very much x

We went for Sunday lunch at this restaurant over the weekend. The starters were alright, but not quite what we were expecting. My partner ordered the scampi "monkfish" (as listed on the menu), but it turned out to be more like three oversized monkfish fish goujons. I opted for the whipped feta, which was more like deconstructed feta crostini. The portion was large and a bit overwhelming. We both enjoyed the beef and turkey Sunday lunches, although the roast potatoes could have used another 20 minutes in the oven.

Amazing Sunday roast!!! Lovely lamb shank, fell off the bone! Absolutely delicious. Service was great, everyone was friendly
