Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Southwell

A lovely lunch for 4 in relaxed surroundings upstairs in the grain store. Great service by our super friendly waitress, great food and a very efficient service from all involved. We have eaten downstairs before but much prefer the upstairs with less hustle and bustle. We will definitely return for a tasty and very good value for money meal.

Italian food is generally overpriced in the UK. In Italy you would get the same food and consistent quality at a fraction of the price. That being said the Rustic Crust is the best pizza and food I’ve had outside of Italy. Love the place!

Devour has always been our favourite restaurant for ambience, decor, staff and service but food has been a bit variable sometimes. We have visited and had great food then another time not so great. The style of food is Italian and a lot of the main courses come with pasta and this has not always been our choice. So we were delighted with the Festive menu which had a great variety of fish and meat dishes without pasta and certainly won our votes. The smoked salmon and prawn roulade was delicious as was the salmon in lobster bisque and the pork chop We had our usual lovely time with great staff and wonderful festive ambience but our visit was vastly improved with the more varied menu Thanks to all and merry Christmas

First visit & won’t be my last. First time my son has come with us to a decent restaurant, 11 years old he had mussels, sirloin and a chocolate fondant. Loved everything he ate. Comte gougere- phenomenal!! Snacks through to dessert all cooked & presented well, can tell they use quality ingredients and have a kitchen team that can cook. Servers all polite and friendly. As a chef it’s hard to go out to eat and enjoy it however the Duncombe arms delivered great food, friendly unintrusive service at good value (£75 each snacks, 3 courses with service charge and tip too)

First time we have been to Ole Ole. Our annual pre Christmas meal with my family before an evening at the castle walk and ghost walk. Everything was perfect, from being greeted at the door, prompt table service, to the tasty food. We chose a selection of dishes from the menu to share and my 11 year old grandson tried everything and loved the food. My 6 year old granddaughter loved the crispy fried potatoes. Thoroughly recommend and we will definately be back next year (if not before).
