"always assumed that this place was a burger bar, but during the visit we were pleasantly surprised. yes, it is an American thema restaurant and it is a bit like in a caffe in the new york, we loved it. the menu has a good one. Cutting food including burger, but also traditional meals and all day breakfasts. average size meal times, small meal times for children, whatever they want. coffee is also free refilling. the diner is located directly near newark with many parking spaces. the restaurant is clean and the staff was very pleasant and always smiling. the grinding times are in order (no point intended), but do not expect cordon Bleù. good disabled facilities and parking also. could not be connected to the wlan....can it be broken? position food staff performance wifi cleanliness disabled access negatives-none to report."

"We visited this pub for lunch and were pleasantly surprised by the variety of dishes on the menu, as well as the lunch specials board featuring a variety of sandwiches. The food was served hot and tasted delicious. I enjoyed the crayfish crab pasta with creamy sauce and garlic bread, while my husband had the gammon with all the trimmings. We also shared a bread and butter pudding, which was quite filling. The prices were good value for money and the staff were friendly, smart, and polite. The pub was clean and nicely decorated, with a welcoming atmosphere. We heard that Wednesday is steak night, which is a must for meat lovers. We will definitely be back!"

"Unfortunately, I had the displeasure of coming across the Square and Compass in Normanton on Trent while looking at properties in the area with my partner. Our experience at this restaurant left me unimpressed. The place seemed nice and the staff were pleasant, but the problems arose with our meals. I ordered a glass of Merlot and sparkling water. The water was fine, but the wine was far from impressive. My partner ordered a mint and pea risotto with edamame beans and pea shoots, but it came without edamame beans or pea shoots and was described as bland. I opted for a rare sirloin steak with flat mushroom, grilled tomato, onion rings, and coleslaw. Unfortunately, my steak was overcooked and full of gristle, with an overwhelming amount of peppercorns thrown on top. The onion rings looked appealing but were undercooked inside with a soggy batter. The reheated chips, slightly heated tomato, and lackluster coleslaw added to the disappointment. On the bright side, the flat mushroom was cooked perfectly. Despite only a few other diners in the restaurant, the service did not live up to expectations. I paid my bill of £42.80 and left feeling very disappointed with the overall experience."

"The pub looks great (although in fairness it looked ok before! and the ‘dining room’ is now more of a cosy comfortable room with a piano, armchairs and a settee but sadly this cuts down on the dining tables and the few that are left are mostly wedged in so that once you’re in, you won’t be moving. Except you have to struggle back up again because the table service has gone and you now have to order and pay for your food at the bar. I really hate paying for my food before I’ve even tasted it and when there’s a group of you out for a meal it’s much easier to have a tab and settle up at the end of the meal Instead of having to squeeze in and out from the table to get another drink. We went with vegan friends who were keen to try the menu however they were distinctly underwhelmed by the vegan sausage and mash (dry sausage and vegan burger (also dry and they felt the vegan offerings were uninspiring, merely copying the meat versions. It’s a small menu and quite odd, with a ‘sharing plate’ that consists of a sausage roll and a piece of cheese with chutney.. a vegan club sandwich and a fish goujon sandwich. Great for a lunchtime menu but not the sort of ‘meal’ I want on a ‘night out’! And the pub isn’t open at lunchtimes so the menu was confusing. My husband had the pie with chips. The pie looked delicious and tasted good but the chips looked as if they’d been soaked in engine oil for days they were so dark they were virtually black. IMO chips should be golden, and having seen them on other peoples plates this put me off completely. The menu would have to improve dramatically before I’m tempted back, it’s almost as if they don’t really want to be serving food which is possibly why the dining tables have been taken out. It is supposed to be village community pub but it just felt like it was trying too hard to be a trendy town centre bar."

"We were staying at a B&B nearby and decided to take a pleasant walk to the pub. We received a very friendly welcome and enjoyed some good conversation with the landlord and regulars. The food was excellent. We started with brie in a light batter and mushrooms with garlic mayo. The main courses were absolutely fantastic. The plaice with prawns and watercress sauce was delicious. The fish platter, with seven different types of fish including prawns, calamari, whitebait, swordfish, salmon, haddock, and bass, was one of the best we have ever had. The portions were generous and the quality was top-notch. We wish we lived in Norwell so we could visit this pub for meals and drinks more often!"
