A fleeting one night stay as I had a meeting in Mansfield the following day. A lovely welcome from Debbie, shown to my room. Spacious, comfortable, clean and warm. Fabulous bar with a great range of beers, the meal I had was superb. Whitebait with a spicy sauce for starters. I couldn’t decide between the sausages or pork belly so Debbie said the chef/she would decide. The pork was delicious, beautifully cooked and presented. Spiced pear crumble rounded off a meal that i shouldn’t have had however i couldn’t stop! Comfortable bed, an in room continental breakfast with good bread, pastries, fruit etc. This is a great pub serving delicious food and the accommodation was super. For the price I could have stayed in a Premier Inn/Travelodge; no contest. I know where I’m staying next time I’m in the area. Thank you Debbie.

Booked a lunchtime meal. Arrived and stood around waiting for ages, was informed by people drinking at the bar, that a party of 12 had arrived and that there was only one person running the bar and restaurant. Whilst we were waiting other couples were turning up wanting a table only to be informed by the bar drinkers of the situation and the people then deciding to go elsewhere. Long waits for food which when arrived was mediocre.
