This Week’s Hot Pick 🔥
Teaspoon Tea Co, Kirk Gate.

Tucked away in Kirk Gate Newark, Teaspoon Tea Co is all about keeping things high quality—proper loose leaf tea that’s easy to brew and genuinely tastes better. Whether you’re a lifelong tea drinker or just fancy switching things up, it’s a small local brand doing things the right way and there are so many flavours to choose from.
This month also marks their 1-year anniversary in Newark, a great milestone for an independent business that’s quietly built a loyal following. If you’ve not tried them yet, now’s a good time to see what they’re about. Great shop, owner and product.
P.S I tried the Blood Orange tea and I may have converted!

Remember which pub was through the gates on the right?
🍺Newark’s Best Pint?
No right or wrong here … it’s a tricky one. Lots of great pubs to choose from with tons of locally produced ales.
1st Place - The Old Post Office (18% of votes)
2nd Place - The White Hart (14%)
3rd Place - The Organ Grinder (9%)
Loving seeing the support for the pubs, hopefully the elusive sun pops his hat on and those beer gardens fill up. Cheers!
