Gannets — Restaurant in Newark and Sherwood

Called in after a bike ride. Tea was nice, one cake was nice, one a bit dry. Service however was very disappointing. Three staff talking, the older waitress with the dark hair was all over some customers like a rash, and completely ignored others.We waited 20 minutes and then had to request part of our order which had been completely forgotten. We only ordered 2 things, and only 4 or 5 tables were occupied, how difficult is it to remember what people have ordered? Nice building, although a lot of the outdoor furniture is covered in black duct tape, not a bad menu, but the staff seem to have very few customer service skills and take very little pride...

Fairly new cafe situated on the edge of town. Large gravel car park for vehicles but the cafe seems aimed at the cycling community. Plenty of bike storage, a large tool station, work stand and track pump which we put to use,there is even a water dispenser for bottles in the work area. Fixed tables and benches together with loose tables and chairs are outside together with a large seating area inside. We appear to have arrived at the tail end of a rush,even so we didn't wait long. Delicious food was delivered quickly by very polite staff, we had vegetarian and gluten free members and these were catered for. Everything is on one level so access is easy...

We were coming home from Newark and looking for somewhere for lunch and Googled this Gannets Cafe. We couldn’t fault a thing, the food was fantastic and the service was the best we’ve probably had anywhere. We turned up without booking right at lunch time with a 3 year old and a baby and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly - our 3 year old keeps saying how much he enjoyed it! He can be a picky eater as well and they happily made him something that wasn’t on the menu. The other customers were also so lovely, speaking to our children and us and helping to make room for us all. I honestly wish we lived closer, we’d be visiting...
