    Very tasteful pub opposite Newark Castle. very good location. delicious drinks are served . In the winter it is climatically by the fireplace. The fireplace there is definitely on +. Nice to sit by the fireplace to eat or drink something. I would recommend more German and Czech beer. because they are definitely the best. The only downside to this pub is that there is no happy hour for drinks . In these times it would definitely work and more customers.

    I visit here once a month for food because it is amazing. My parents recently hired the function room upstairs for their wedding reception. We had a meal, DJ, dancing, photographer, music and shots lol. Amazing restaurant/pub.

    We only had a bottle of wine, whilst stood at the bar, three members of staff stopped and asked if was being served, in this day and age this is Golden!! The staff are on point. This is how you keep customers, I will return and sample the food next time. Well done team, great customer service.

    After waiting an hour and a half for my food despite the restaurant being empty my food with inedible. My mum and myself both ordered the steak and after waiting over an hour with no explanation of where our food was when it finally arrived the chips where cold and stale and salad dried out and stating to go off and the steaks themselves where inaccurately cooked, bland, and tough. The bite in which I had was chewy and gritty with the meat itself being tough and dry. The waiting staff offered no compassion or explanation. My mother ended up paying £60 for a bite of steak and 2 chips

    Lovely food, staff friendly and service is quick. Needs a little more atmosphere, possibly due to the very spaced and against the wall seating plan? Outside seating is nice, especially in summer.

    as a birthday treat from my brother. we booked in for Sunday lunch well what a let down .It took twenty minutes before we was asked if we wanted a drink from the bar. I decided to go for the beef and my brother had the chicken I can say the beef was inedible. the roast potatoes were definitely not cooked fresh that day the chicken was better but only just decided not to have the sweet menu was not worth the risk .we asked for the bill that came just short of £60 pounds what a rip off. never again

    Had Sunday Lunch on 7th January. Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful taking a drinks order and allowing us time to browse the food menu. Both had Sunday lunch which was very nice. They brought our dog a bowl of water and small things like this make all the difference. Well worth a visit and trying the food out at the Ram.

    Was in unexpectedly tonight with kids after a hectic day at work. Lovely staff on shift. The young very smart guy looked after us, exceptional customer service. He actually acknowledged the children, which i find most places don't. Food was fast and great. My only qualm would be i wish there was an option or 2 for children. Not all kids can have cheese so pizza is a no no, the other dishes are beyond a childs taste, unless they eat fish, although they're amazing for adults!!! (Maybe it's my kids that won't eat the stroganoff or things with a beaut sauce and mushrooms). I've been a couple of times now and food is so consistent, it will definitely be my first port of call for food out when in town, probably not with the little people in toe. Wish i got the persons name who looked after us. Excellent staff member!

    We really enjoyed the Ram. It was a really hot day and the outside courtyard space was much appreciated. The service was really good - very friendly and reliable. The food was delicious - me and my dad had the pork belly which melted in the mouth, but the bubble and squeak on the plate was even tastier. The only thing I could say to improve is if they could ban smoking in the courtyard - the nature of the courtyard means cigarette smoke gets trapped and is unpleasant for the non-smoking guests.

    Having walked around Newark looking for somewhere to eat, we settled for the Ram as it seemed the most welcoming and had a good looking and varied menu. We were instantly greeted with a warm welcome from the bar staff. The service throughout was brilliant - I unfortunately didn’t get the lads name that served us (dark hair and glasses), but he is a credit to your business. He was attentive throughout and really polite. If back in the area we will be sure to visit again.

    Very nice food with a decent choice on the menu from meat meals to fish. I can see why so many rate the Ram at Newark for its food menu. Bitter seemed slightly overpriced at £4.80 a pint compared to some places though.

    Went in for an afternoon feast with my mum and we got some tapas to share along with a bottle of wine. The food was lovely. We had halloumi fries, patatas bravas, gambas pilpil, pork belly, lamb samosas and some calamari. Staff were very attentive as they were coming to the table every ten minutes to see if everything was okay. Will be back again soon.

    lovely, friendly good service. Have the pork belly, it took a while but the waitress told us it would - it's a slow cook dish. Worth the wait for sure. The two mains and a bottle of wine deal on Tuesdays and Fridays is a bargain. Clean pub, lovely outside area, nicer than it looks from the front.
