Looking at the Georgian frontage,you would expect to find a small pub interior with some original features but clearly Castle Rock have gutted the interior to create a large functional premises.The interior design hints at originality with several seperate rooms all divided from the central area by doorways wide enough meet DDA guidelines and high enough to avoid stooping by anyone under six foot nine. However no real fireplaces exist and electric wall mounted heaters provide warming.The ale range is extensive and the one over the 8 Castle Rock promotion is operated here. This is probably the best real ale pub in Newark ,which isnt a glowing recommendation given the other options in the town centre.The live music does bring in a younger crowd and some totty but this can be accompanied by a net loss of customers as some older drinkers slope off.

A large Castle Rock boozer which is split into a number of rooms, all of which are a reasonable size and it does lend itself as a live music venue which seems to happen regularly. A wide selection of 10 real ales over a variety of strengths and styles. Regulars are Batemans XXXB, Everards Tiger and Pale Harvest, Hemlock and Sheriffs Tipple all from Castle Rock with 5 changing guests in addition to the regulars. We sampled the Tiger, Pale Harvest, Bateman's Salem Porter and Spring Ale from Ryedale. All of these were fine, although the Salem Porter was slightly suspect but there didn't seem to be anything to tempt our, reasonable size, group into a session despite the variety on offer. We may have been unlucky and this is certainly a pub to visit if you're after real ale in Newark.

A castle Rock owned pub with a wide range of changing beers and is the only pub in town where you can consistently expect to be served a range of well kept beers. Great food too!
