Location
The Old Bakery Tea Rooms is housed in a charming and unique Tudor building in the heart of Newark, Nottinghamshire.
The ‘Tudor Bake House’ is a medieval timber-framed structure and the only one of three shops to be restored during the area’s redevelopment in the 1970s.
From the main Market Square, a cobbled alleyway on the northwest side leads to Queens Head Court, where the Tudor Bakehouse awaits.
Dating back to the 15th century, this building is a must-see for visitors to historic Newark.
Newark, officially known as Newark-on-Trent, is a picturesque and bustling market town situated at the confluence of the River Trent and the River Devon, where the Great North Road intersects with the Fosse Way Roman Road.
The town developed around a 12th-century castle, now in ruins, and a large marketplace lined with historic buildings. Today, Newark has become a popular commuter town for Lincoln and Nottingham.
The nearest Pay and Display car park is Town Wharf.
Newark Northgate is just a two-minute walk from the café.
