Tom Mann Pavilion, Devon Park

Unfortunately, there has been further confusion caused by an article printed in the Newark Advertiser this week regarding Nesbitt’s Café. They have published a correction online, but it sits behind a paywall.

Nesbitt's Cafe is still open. Saturdays and Sundays for now, but please come down, enjoy the football and freshly cooked food. We have our pool table, dart board and foosball table free to use

Community Update: Nesbitt’s Café at the Tom Mann

We’d like to clarify recent events regarding the closure of Nesbitt’s Café on a Monday and Tuesday.

The volunteers who kindly ran the café on Mondays and Tuesdays informed us on Monday 1st September of their decision to retire. By Tuesday, they had cleared the premises, including items previously gifted to the club by another group.

We were not informed directly and only became aware of the café’s closure via social media on Thursday.

To be clear: at no point were the volunteers asked to leave by Newark Town Football Club or the council. We are incredibly grateful for their time, dedication, and the warm atmosphere they helped create.

We’ll be exploring options for the future of the space and will keep the community updated.

Nesbitt's is still open on a Saturday and Sunday, and we look forward to seeing you for a brew.

Thank you for your continued support 💙

Will you be joining us? Let us know!

After a lot of hard work and late nights the main work is done.
The Brown's and Beadling's have put in many hours of work to get the repairs done.
Some cleaning and painting to do, but the main pavilion room is warm and dry.
We are in need of a decent floor cleaner, 3 under sink water heaters and some plastic wall panels if anyone can help!

The pavilion is available to hire, please get in touch.

As some may know, In January we suffered flooding after the pipes burst.
We have been working very hard to get the repairs done and we are nearly there, through hard work by a few amazing people.

We look forward to welcoming back our groups who have had to relocate for a short while and have availability for other groups to hire.

Thanks to those who have helped, and offered support
