The Fox & Crown, Newark

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.

Called Railway Tavern

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!
