user reviews of the Fox and Crown, Newark

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Lovely beer served in the old fashioned way - one notch short of surly. But if you fancy a pint in Newark while you are waiting for a train, at least you won't get stabbed, which is more than can be said for some of the other pubs in Newark, such as the ones frequented by friends and relatives of the burglars shot by the famous and unjustly imprisoned farmer Tony Martin.
In my youth all pubs were like this, so it's a trip down memory lane. You will be absolutely guaranteed no-one will say "Have a nice day".

Locally, this place is known as `the doom and gloom`. It earned this reputation years ago and after a recent visit i can find no reason to disagree. It is an indifferent place that serves good beer. If a person were prone to bouts of melancholia then this is certainly one place to avoid. I agree with previous comments that the staff are downbeat and somewhat miserable. But it has always been so - hence the nickname.

Good beer sold by indifferent staff. Food is OK - Lamb stew was a bit watery on the whole not a bad pub.

Tynemill pub with the not happy tynemill bar staff.Is it a term of employment that you have to be a grumpy git here ? But you can't falt them on there beer,good range and kept well,food good also if a little over priced for what it is.Present Manager leaveing soon so the staff might start to smile soon(we live in hope)

This is a Tynemills pub with lots of nooks and crannies where they serve between 5 & 8 cask ales on glistening handpumps.
