The Old Lock House Newark

Came today with a friend to lunch and our cake and gin (where in a competition) sa outside at the river, it was so beautiful. the food was delicious and the staff very friendly. we will return

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.

Lovely lunch and a cheeky gin in the sunshine watching the boats go by! Lovely little find, will go again!

We popped in for a drink and stayed a while............. The warm welcome was genuine and we ordered a mixture of coffees and Gin's , to wash down the amazing cake. Very pretty setting on a busy canal. Don't understand the previous critics
