Restaurant · Newark
A small Newark café with a proper local feel — busier than it first looks, though there are more tables upstairs and a few outside with views of the castle, which helps if you've arrived with a pram and need space. Service is quick and the food comes out hot, which matters when someone small is losing patience. Breakfasts are the thing here: crispy hash browns, thick butcher's gammon with runny eggs for dunking chips, and a cottage pie with a crusty top and properly cooked veg. Portions are huge — genuinely hard to finish — and prices are low. The staff are noticeably kind, the sort who'll go out of their way for a customer. Coffee is the weak spot; stick to an americano. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options and free parking.
