Quick info
About The Caunton Beck
The Caunton Beck is a countryside gastropub in Caunton, Newark, with a menu that is entirely gluten free, desserts included, so coeliac diners can order across the whole card. The kitchen cooks British dishes with a Mediterranean influence, and a roast lunch pairs beef and pork with roasted potatoes. The bar mixes fresh cocktails and keeps a wine list. The building was formerly a local pub and now runs as a restaurant, though drinks alone are still welcome, and the interior has been recently refurbished. Waiting staff provide table service, and tables are booked ahead.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the completely gluten-free menu, and coeliac diners call it a gamechanger. One describes a Sunday roast of beef and pork with roasted potatoes and well-cooked vegetables, though another was disappointed to find no gluten free Yorkshire pudding. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, attentive and helpful, and the courtyard drinks and the refurbishment draw praise too. Several call the food excellent and say value felt about right. Not everyone is won over. One reviewer preferred the old place, where you could equally drop in for a drink or a meal, and calls the new version a restaurant that fancies itself, new and shiny but out of character for the Nottinghamshire countryside. Another notes it is no longer a local pub, though people still come for a drink, and one says service could be a little quicker. A few already have return visits booked. One reviewer recalls the manager feeding their dog and mixing a Malawi shandy.

“Really nice meal. Service could be a little quicker but not something that has put me off as have already booked again. Nice refurbishment, courtyard really nice, value for money was about right. If you are considering dining here then do it it.”

“A totally gluten-free restaurant, a coeliacs dream, but unless you read the small print you wouldn’t know! Staff were welcoming and friendly. No, it’s not a local pub anymore but you can still go for a drink. The food is of excellent quality and tastes good.”
- Geoffrey Hibbert
“We were there for dinner on Friday 22/05/26. You can, with great confidence, book The Caunton Beck. It is bright, modern and welcoming. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. The staff are smart, attractive, helpful and engaging. Highly recommended.”
- Matthew Morrell
“Amazing 100% gluten free food! As someone with Coeliac Disease who lives fairly local, this place is a gamechanger. The food quality is outstanding, and the waiting staff are attentive and personable. The level of detail and quality of the refurbishment is also excellent. We shall be coming a lot 🙏🏻”
