Our menu reflects both our heritage and our innovation, blending the charm of British tradition with a modern, fun dining experience. And with our on-site roasting, we’re excited to showcase the art and craftsmanship behind every cup.

We ensure that 95% of what we serve is homemade, from our famous scones to our flavourful pies, quiches, sandwich fillings, and even our fish and chips batter. Everything is thoughtfully prepared with care.

We’re committed to making a positive impact in every aspect of our business. Sustainability is at the heart of our menus, and we’re deeply passionate about minimising food waste and maximising the use of our resources. 

The Newark café is our most modern location yet. Its industrial design is inspired by our wholesale roots, and playful graffiti walls bring an urban, youthful vibe. It’s the perfect spot for every occasion, whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee on the go, relaxing at the roastery window seat for a bit of people-watching, or setting up in the cosy restaurant area for a longer stay.

 Words from the designer

The design concept for Stokes in Newark was developed to embrace the essence of an industrial building whilst providing a harmonious, warm, welcoming space for all.

The design drew inspiration from the colours of decaying textures and qualities found within derelict buildings, such as broken plaster, galvanised steel, and rusted metals. Creating a series of eye-catching hand-painted textured feature walls, working from light to dark hues to convey an authentic, aged quality.

I hope all who visit here enjoy the space with their loved ones, and maybe feel a little inspired themselves! - Emma Chippendale
