    The staff were superb. They communicated clearly and were attentive without bring intrusive. There were a few items that weren’t on the menu but it didn’t detract from a lovely meal. Would recommend.

    Roast beef was good but would prefer a bit pink rather than well done so was a bit tough. Hot plate and gravy jug. Veg was good but disllke peas on a restaurant meal. Large Yorkshire which was not cooked well at the bottom but otherwise crisp. The portion was ok. Mini desert of lemon meringue was miniscule but very good. Great service and lovely pub.

    Hi, Liz. Thank you for your feedback which is valued and will be taken onboard. We hope you will visit us again in the future for some pink beef (we always aim to do our best to provide the beef how you prefer it cooked, please just let a member of the team know when ordering).

    We went for a Sunday lunch and it was fabulous. Loved that there were plenty of side dishes to add on if wanted. Such as mashed potato ( dinner comes with roast potato). Will definitely be returning.

    Great pub with lots of history. Food was excellent as always, never had a bad meal. The staff were friendly and helpful, didn’t have to go looking for them, they kept an eye on their tables.

    After eating here last week where the food was so so good, I was disappointed that our visit last night - where I took new friends especially to experience the food - the quality was barely average. The chicken schnitzel was really small, and very overcooked. The fish was also very small and more batter than fish. The chips were quite underwhelming I feel that even a bag of frozen McCain's chips would have far exceeded the quality that was served. The place is great but I feel more effort needs to be made when it is busy in order to maintain the standards that they are trying to achieve. Overall great service and friendly helpful staff but more attention needs to be given to the quality of the food being served.

    Lovely historic building. We ate in an upstairs room , heating was not on so chilly. Asked for them to turn heating on and waiter brought a small fan heater, which did improve things. Sunday lunch . Vegi pie excellent, but 3 meat roast dinner meat was too thinly sliced and not enough. Desert , sticky toffee pudding good. Cheese cake was tiny considering £7.95 price tag. Newark needs a place that provides an excellent quality Sunday lunch. Prince Rupert has the opportunity but needs to up it's game. Waiting staff were good and sympathetic to the small portions. Will give it a second go in a couple of weeks.

    Shocking service of average food at inflated prices. Service problems: We ordered 4 starters. Two arrived. We waited for the other two until they came to collect our plates. Won't be going back They offered them with our main course. In the meantime, we'd been offered a number of other starters that other people had ordered. We were asked if we needed sauces with our main course. We did. We asked three times during the meal where they were. We never got them. Food problems The flatiron chicken is a very dry lump of flattened chicken and a pile of oven chips. Mixed grill: I hope you like the steak well done. I asked for blue. The waiter said they couldn't do blue for H&S reasons. I asked for as rare as you dare. It was medium to well done. Also, oven chips? Chicken Burger. Exactly that. Nothing special except the side of oven chips We
