TL:DR
Amazing service, great food and lovely scenery by the water.

I don’t live in Newark but live nearby and decided to go for a walk and explore what was nearby.
Firstly, a lovely place to go for a meal. Sat on the balcony by the river with a beautiful view in the sunshine. My only criticism would be the cleanliness of the balcony seating / tables. Lots of cobwebs 🕸️.
Secondly, the customer service was amazing. The staff were efficient, friendly and happy to assist with everything.
Finally, the food was excellent. Delightfully presented and delicious. Worth every penny.
Great view across the river.
My spag bol was great as they replaced the pork meatballs with chicken. Tasty, homemade sauce. Good portion size. Other guest had scampi and enjoyed it. Friendly manageress greeted us.
Don’t order the sticky toffee pudding - it was bizarre and didn’t look right. Certain it came from the microwave; not much sauce at all and the colour was peculiar.
Service was extremely slow and somewhat disappointing.
Quiet Tuesday night, great food, background music just right. Service attentive.
Check out the back page of the menu, offers certainly worth considering, only noticed on ordering the sweet course!!

The BEST steak in Newark.
I've had the rump steak from The Swan & Salmon a number of times now and it is FANTASTIC!
Cooked to perfection & the accompaniments are delightful. Roast cherry tomatoes on the vine, rocket & parmesan salad, choice of skinny or chunky chips. And the STILTON SAUCE - my god that is delicious! 😋
Could not recommend enough - I'm sat waiting for my 3rd or 4th rump steak order right now. I just can't get enough of this place! 😍
P.S. Beautiful views from the balcony!
Stopped for a quick lunch (road trip off A1). Just had a lovely cheese sandwich. Superb staff and wonderful location. Thank you.
Took my mum in there yesterday, and she had the mussels on the specials menu, I had the lasagne .... absolutely gorgeous , the portion size of the mussels was huge ! It made our day trip to newark even more special as mum had her favourite meal ! The bill was so reasonable too !We will definitely be back ... the staff were so polite and friendly , roll on next time !
We held our wedding reception on 3 August.
Exclusive use of venue including a sit down meal for 30 and evening party with buffet for a further 60 guests.
Thank you Tony and staff, (Heather, Andy, Tilly, Lee, Mark and more), for making our wedding day the most fantastic occasion.
The food was superb, roast beef with all the trimmings and a variety of vegetables cooked to perfection with a light lemon tart desert equally as good. The service was excellent, very attentive to all of our needs for a wide age group…..9 months to 90 years!
The atmosphere and room setup were amazing and all parts of the venue spotlessly clean……..what more can we say other than you did us proud! Thank you!
Thursday lunch outside; we had the dog with us, he was invited inside but we wanted to watch the action on the river, being newly arrived by boat ourselves. Service was excellent, even offering water for the dog. Food was delicious. Even people passing commented on how good it looked! I think there was a wedding party going on upstairs judging by the delightful children in beautiful dresses which must say something to the quality of the place too.
Lovely place to go for a afternoon lunch. We had the loveliest time sitting by the river with a beautiful view of the castle, sipping on a cold beer in the sunshine. There was a birthday party going on and some live music playing and it was just the nicest atmosphere. Had a beef burger and chicken burger which were both sooooo good! Also staff were very lovely and helpful. Thanks for a lovely Saturday afternoon. Will be back again :)
Called in for a drink, sat outside in the sunshine, and decided to have some food. Ordered the beef Sunday lunch, and we couldn't fault it. Hot, tasty, and the beef melted in your mouth. Lovely fresh vegetables and extra gravy. Will definitely return.
We had a very lovely meal here last night. The booking was accepted at the last minute due to us having been booked in elsewhere in newark and their service being just awful. So we called on a whim here and I'm so pleased we did! A burger meal and a pasta meal were ordered and it was all just lovely. We enjoyed eating it on the balcony overlooking the locks. I will definitely return!
A modernised trendy feel when entering. A pleasant warm smile received from the bar staff. We only popped in to get a pint and I was quite pleased with the variety on tap.
The setting of the restaurant being next to the river was appealing and so we found ourselves enjoying our libations amongst the soft flowing river whilst people strolled on by with their new year walks accompanied by their loving pets.
We need to return to the Swan and Salmon to give the food a go...a quick glimpse at the menu suggests fair pricing and decent food choices... lets see ...
First time visit here for a Friday lunch. Found the staff very friendly, with a good selection to choose from on the menu. Really enjoyed the food, reasonable price too. Looking forward to returning at some point.
Service here was brilliant, staff couldn’t do enough for us and went out of there way to help us. We where staying next door for the weekend and they were so welcoming and gave us lots of information. Food was really good and price was reasonable too.
Great setting beside the river. Choice of inside and outside seating, with some on a balcony for a premium view. Was very pleased with the whole experiance. Friendly, Polite staff, who could not do enough for us. Nice pint of Aspels Cider. We sat in the small atmospheric Bar. I had a light bite Haddock and Chips with garden peas. All expertly cooked. Minimal waiting time from ordering to at our table. My parther had the Prawn sandwich, which she really enjoyed. Wholemeal bread was great. Will definately be returning. Five stars to the whole crew!
Only visited for drinks, but its a lovely place and really looking forward to trying the food one day. Loved being able to sit out by the river, and the staff behind the bar are really helpful and friendly!
Called in for a drink whilst out.
I've never been in as we don't live in Newark, but hubster goes on a regular basis to Newark, this was a spontaneous few hours out.
Lovely place and a calm atmosphere.
Then we had food, an unexpected treat.
Hubster had the spaghetti and meatballs, the bowl was stuffed to the brim.
I had the chicken club, OMG it was fantastic. The chicken was so tender, the bread toasted and chunky granary 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Staff were nice and friendly 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Will definitely be back 😁😁
