Fox and Crown in Newark and Sherwood

Delicious food and lovely service!

Super staff, beer selection and a very welcoming atmosphere.

Good old fashioned pub in Newark town centre, do Mexican food too

Friendly staff, a wide selection of delicious craft beers, tasty and large burritos. The pub brings the typical English heart-warming pub atmosphere. 1 portion of a delicious burrito (enough for 2 people) costs £10, pints of beer around £5.

To the Fox I want to say well done for being the best real ale bar in Newark but also having an awesome selection of craft beers and Whiskies. The Fox is a total gem in Newark. The staff are friendly and engaging plus you will always be served a perfect pint at a very reasonable price so good quality mixed with value which is hard to see these days. The interior is a mix because of the pubs quirky mix of an old shop, pub, yard (which is inside) and entry between (which if you look is inside to). It serves not only locals but the patrons that frequent the towns Theatre down the road so you might meet famous people like Jasper Carrot (which I did five years ago). If one is out alone or indeed with company this pub is a must. I have been drinking in the Fox for 22 years and it’s still fabulous. See you soon chaps Rikx

Great pub with tremendous selection of ales and fantastic mexican food.

Traditional pub, friendly service

Great food and a great craft beer selection 👌

Another nice castle rock pub with a good selection of beers. I’ll be back the next time I’m in Newark!

Good choice of cask and keg beer plus some interesting snacks

Went in to try the burrito did not disappoint lovely place will be back

Really good pub vibe inside. Tacos were very tasty. Decent beer selection with some quality guest ales in. The barmaid thoroughly knew her business and was non stop.

Food was ok. The atmosphere and welcome was very friendly. I will return

Just went for a drink with friends in a friendly pub

Great pub just needs more people to come to improve the atmosphere as is a large pub and people get lost in it. Fine if you want to bar hang. Beer selections are good and staff are great.

I do quite like this pub, all the elements I find nice... craft beer, good service.. tend to pop in more and more.. need to try the Mexican food next..

What a wonderful little pub. Cracking Mexican food and a bewilderingly good selection of both cask and keg beers. Had a taster of the carrot cake ale (surreal) and the Pride-friendly 'bubblegum rainbow unicorn sparkle' that was blue and evoked childhood raspberry Slush puppies 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔 Bar staff super friendly, particularly when we ordered Tuaca (being out-of-towner Brightonians, it's a regular tipple). Would highly recommend and will head back the next time I'm up in Newark.

It's been a well overdue visit to Holy Moly@ The Fox and Crown. Had a nice pint of IPA and a cider to help the fantastic pizza go down. Loved the base, and the pepperoni was quantity. We had a side dish of Jalapeños poppers which rounded the meal off. The next visit is to try the burritos 🌯.

A real pub at last, this feels as traditional as possible. A great selection of food, drink and customers. Like every London pub 40 years ago. Absolute bliss

Popped in for a couple of beers (Preservation) on way home only Castle Rock pub in Newark.

Really enjoyed being here , the mexican food was excellent, definitely coming back!

Bar staff didn't really seem to care if you were there or not building was tatty and not particularly clean. But a good selection of drinks on offer.

Great guest ales, good atmosphere. Enjoyed This One Goes Up To Eleven...

Lovely pub, great food and a great atmosphere. The young lad behind the bar was extremely helpful and even sorted us out with a taxi as we were struggling to book one. We will definitely return.

Ordered food and drinks for 8 people, once the barman could be bothered to serve us......chatting to his mates for 5 minutes before acknowledging us! Was specific about certain ingredients for one of the meals......the meal csme out incorrect. We were hit with a barrage of sarcasm and attitude. Such a shame, good real ales, food was average. To top it ifc the

I drank an excellent beer and breathed the true atmosphere of an English pub.

Friendly staff, cracking pints of Verdant craft beer, delicious spicy quesadillas, Castle Rock reward points, what's not to love? Will be back next time we're in Newark!

Called in for a cheeky pint while out shopping yesterday. Great selection of real ales, I had the Elsie Mo - obviously well kept beer, tasted great. Also tried half a pint of strong cask stout called "Snowball" which was excellent. My wife isn't as refined as I am so she wanted a prosecco, which they also stock - bonus. Got peckish while I was there and decided to try some of the Mexican street food. Really glad I did! I had the Chicken Pastor Tacos, which I ordered as "Spicy". Order arrived - 3 good size tacos with the chicken filling and a garnish of guacamole and salsa. Absolutely delicious , glad I didn't have the extra spicy as they were more than hot enough for my taste, (and I do like spicy food), so take on the extra spicy at your own risk. Overall: Friendly, knowledgeable service in a nice old fashioned traditional pub. Very well kept ales and an excellent selection. Food was top notch, could have been a tad warmer (temperature wise), but soooo tasty I just kept on eating. It's worth going just for the beers if you're a real ale fan, (and they have prosecco to keep everyone happy ). But the great mexican food is the icing on the cake, highly recommend you give it a try - we will definitely be back.

Phenomenal food and excellent beer. Highly recommended.

Great pub, great service and great price 👍

at pub. You order your drink and contemplate life choices next to the bar without anyone chatting you up. 5 stars.

Called in before going to the theatre . Great pub with a good variety of Real Ales and Craft Beers

Castle Rock pub serving a good selection of beers on cask and keg , Don't know why the food menu is all tacos and burritos tho ??

Lovely beer selection the 7 percent one I had was so nice before the theatre I just had to return and stay till closing 😀

Nice pint.....great choice of real ales. Fair price too!!! Will be back!

Wonderful people, wonderful selection of drinks and a truly fantastic atmosphere 😊 absolute pleasure whenever I pop in

Friendly staff and nice pint of Castle Rock Elsie Mo beer.

Had a great vegetarian pizza here

A super friendly and welcoming pub, with a great relaxed atmosphere. Loads of craft beers on offer and the Holy Moly mexican food is so good!! Definitely recommend the veggie burrito.

Mexican food was well nice and very reasonable, beer was excellent and the service and staff were very good. Atmosphere wasn't great but it was 5pm on a Monday so can't blame them for that! This was the last of three work visits to Newark and I'm very annoyed that we went to other pubs/restaurants for food on the first two, this place was way better. Would definitely recommend. Will be back if I'm ever in Newark again

Great beer selection and amazing Mexican food

Bar tender seemed reluctant to serve me

Lovely pub that we love to visit on our trips to Newark, great selection of beers and enjoyed the holy moly street food too

Great pub great variety of beers ales and ciders

Great place for a pint, and the food is out of this world

Fantastic pub,with a good choice of ales and to put the icing on the cake great atmosphere........I'll be trying the food on my next visit

Brilliant pub. Holy Moly's is now situated here too which makes it even better! friendly staff, warm and welcoming and the decor is beautiful. cracking place!

Great food and beer, nice relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent food served quickly but nicely. Draft beer also served correct. Overall good value for what we paid

Good and friendly service at the bar and mexican food!

Great to see Holy Moly back in Newark! Tasty food and great service at the bar!

Great friendly place for a choice of excellent beers!

Great real ale venue in Newark, love the selection and varied strengths of beers, something for every palate.

I recently visited this place to celebrate a birthday. Initially, I felt like it was very stuffy and there was no air to breathe, but I got used to it with time. Air-conditioning is missing tho. They have a great selection of beers, which is beneficial. Very clean toilets, however very cold. Felt like in the fridge. I would lower the music, otherwise, everyone has to shout to hear. Very friendly staff. Generally, I enjoyed my time out

Lovely staff and very good selection of beer. Cool vibe and look .

The guy behind the bar was completely detached from his customers. Unusual for a pub connected to Castlerock

First visit since reopening, great selection of keg beers fresh from Neon Raptor tap takeover, no major changes to how the pub used to be, definitely back on the Newark pub trail.

Top pub. So glad it's back open

Great pub with some spectacular beers on both keg and cask. One for the beer lovers.

Great to see it open again. Needs a little TLC - but top pub

Wonderful atmosphere, lovely staff, excellent customer service, very welcoming, highly recommended. Added bonus of great music and cake!!!

Hello nice visit to see my Freind who's Bithday it was the previous Day and a Bonus her Brother was there to ..A very pleasant Afternoon freindly bar staff and background music and they have my regular drink Carling Lager .....🥰🤣😘😚🍻🍺🍻🍺 x

Glad this pub has reopened. Was busy as Beermuda triangle was on. Guy behind bar was working like a one armed paper hanger. Could've done with a other person to help out. Lovely selection of ales, well kept amd delicious. I'd go back again.

Great pub. Very nice staff and good selection of beer Update: And I am so glad it has opened again.

Glorious range of beers but sad it's going to close,it will be missed

We are so sad to hear you're closing, you have been our go-to pub for years after work after a good day or on birthdays and you're just round the corner for us. Thanks for the good times and we wish you all good luck inthe future. Thank you all and we hope a new Fox & Crown emerges.

My first visit and probably last as they are due to close at the end of Aug. A really great pint and full attention to social distancing etc. I shall miss you.

What a great place. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and a fantastic selection of beers, ciders and real ales.

Great pub. Lots to choose from for ale drinkers. Friendly staff too

Great atmosphere and even better selection of beverages.

Good food, cosey pub, great staff

Came with a friend last year for the first time because there were good vegan choices. I was very impressed of the choices when I seen the menu and I plan to go back again this weekend. A lovely place. It really felt welcoming and lovely staff.

Rustic atmosphere friendly staff.Very tasty Christmas meal.Caters for veggies and Vegans.

Nice place good choice of beers nice food to.

Nice but the choice of live music could have been better. And the staff can very choosy to who they want to serve they seem to want to serve requlers first.

Although this pub is always busy it is a very friendly, sociable place. Being so convenient for the Palace Theatre, this is where we come for a pub meal when over from Lincoln to catch a show. Pub meals are good value too.

Had a great impromptu night at the fox and crown. Open mic night on a Wednesday was a fantastic compliment to great beer and good food. Well worth stopping by for friendly service any day of the week.

The best French and English staff

Good atmosphere, great selection on real ales

Friendliness, respect for a good environment

Friendly pub with a decent array of craft ales and spirits. Excellent food and lovely staff.

A lovely pub from Castle Rock, near the Palace Theatre, a great selection of real ales, and a good place for quizzes and live music.
