Shout out to Mitchell who made us feel like family, great reccomdations on what we should eat, yummooo, he made our evening. We will be returning for sure, Big up the hendos.”

“Always a brilliant coffee when visiting Fables, they always have a good choice of cakes to choose from. You get a good sized portion too!!! Service was great, Lorraine always goes that extra mile with great service every time we visit. Great atmosphere always a pleasure to visit! :)”

“My daughter and I had afternoon tea here yesterday. It was really nice. The food was fresh. Good selection of items for afternoon tea. Beautiful Teashop and lovely staff. The owner was very nice and accommodating. They also do theme nights, which I'm sure we shall be back to join. The menu was great for other occasions. Breakfasts and lunches, or a drink and a snack. The shop itself was decorated lovely, with indoor and outdoor seating. Dogs were also welcome. Set in lovely surroundings in a park. We will definitely go again.”

“What amazing food! We did have to wait quite a while for our orders but everything seemed to have been made fresh from scratch, so no complaint there. Meals were very fairly priced. I'm lactose intolerant and when asked if there was a dairy-free cappuccino, he said he had dairy-free milk of his own so he would use that if necessary. The cappuccino was great and the servers couldn't do enough for you. I will definitely be wating here again.”

“Delicious! This place feels underrated, it’s really strong especially compared to relatively local competition and delivers some great, elegant, well presented tasty dishes. Think fine dining for some, but without unnecessary faff and with more accessible dishes on the menu. The service is friendly and classy - we’d visit more if we were closer.”

“Love, love, love this place, great food, good coffee, buzzing atmosphere, friendly staff in a gorgeous building on a beautiful little park smack bang in the middlr of Mansfield”

“Really nice little spot, we visited a week ago and had a couple of baguettes. The bacon and sausage were cooked perfectly. The coffee was great as was the Yorkshire Tea.”

“Brilliant venue, very clean, well kept.”

“We had such a great day here! tons of exciting slides as well as a fun obstacle course. What really made it special was the paddle boarding! Right next to the water park where you can rent paddle boards. It was the perfect way to wind down after all the water park excitement. The water was calm, the scenery was peaceful, and it was such a fun activity for both beginners and more experienced paddlers. Only “downside” is if you don’t have a car it’s a 40 minute walk from the nearest bus stop but if you enjoy walking it should be no problem! It’s rare to find a place that combines both high-energy water park fun with something more relaxing like paddle boarding — we loved both and would definitely come back. Highly recommended for families, couples, or groups of friends looking for a full day of water activities!”

“We eat here once or twice a month and they never disappoint! Good portion is sized perfectly, the food is delicious and the staff are lovely. The place is kept clean, and service is fast. Would definitely recommend! Be mindful that it’s cash only :)”

“My wife and I went here on a recommendation, I'll be honest it's not the kind of pub I'd usually choose to go but on the way back home I was thinking maybe my usual place id go to isn't that good. The Black Market upon entering was extremely friendly, Dave behind the bar was lovely we had a talk about the craft beers and a giggle. My wife and I had a three course meal here, I had the Nacho's and my wife the garlic mushrooms, it absolutely wasn't what I was expecting. The Nacho's were for Nacho's amazing, the salsa was so fresh and zingy, my wife's garlic mushrooms were really saucy and garlicy (is that a word?) Big portion too. We then had the fish and chips, I have no problems saying this was one of the best if not the best fish and chips I've ever had (being a Norfolk local) I've had my fair share of good fresh fish and chips, the batter was fresh the cod was succulent and fresh. Was a great atmosphere, service was quick and the waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. Food was phenomenal This is a place in my humble opinion I would class as a hidden gem, I am doubting my usual technique for choosing where to eat, some of the best places I have eaten are buildings I usually would walk straight past whilst thinking god no. The food here is amazing, the atmosphere and locals here were extremely friendly and welcoming. If you're passing or local and wondering should I try it, absolutely do. Next time I am back in this area I definitely will. Nice craft beers too, also worth mentioning. A real credit to the village. 10/10 from me.”

“Dropped in for lunch today and was greeted by super friendly staff , such a warm and relaxing atmosphere. I had the steak pie with mash and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was, packed with tender steak and bursting with flavour. Couldn’t resist dessert and went for the fruit crumble with custard… absolutely unbelievable! I’m not local, otherwise I’d be back on a regular basis. Thanks for the warm welcome , keep up the amazing service and top quality food!”

“Delightful hidden gem. Parking. Light and airy, with amazing big windows - perfect for watching the world go by. Comfy sofas for relaxing. Fabulous bacon cob. Nice hot chocolate too. Lovely owner. Great value. Love all the pictures with the history of the place and local local area. Looking forward to returning.”

“A fantastic, proper pub with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Always a perfect pint, whether it's Guinness, lager, nitro keg bitter, or cider, and all at a very reasonable prices. The food is amazing and the Sunday carvery is without a doubt the best I've had. The prices are also really good.”

“It's a nice friendly club, good people run it,good people go in it, never seen any trouble, they have good entertainment on a Friday and Sunday night.”

“Always a great atmosphere when we walk in. I've lived in Edwinstowe for 8 months now, and the Wedge is by far my favourite place to drink!!”

“Amazing service food was outstanding cute little dog and most importantly super kind staff”

“Met a friend here and it was the first time I've been in the week. I had one of the hub/lunchtime meals, cheese and ham lasagne with lovely fresh salad and homemade coleslaw. It was so good! It filled me up for the rest of the day. Highly recommend”

“Called in to Forest Lodge about 4-15 on Sat 1st Nov for drinks and food.Was served by Scarlett in what was a very busy pub with people watching sport.She seemed to be working the bar on her own but was very efficient and polite.Great to see a young lady doing a fantastic job in a busy environment with a smile on her face.5 stars from us”

“Sherwood Forest is a well-preserved and accessible destination, suitable for visitors of all ages. Throughout the forest, there are comfortable sitting areas, along with a wealth of fascinating information about trees, animals, and nature conservation efforts.”

“Amazing food, all sooo tasty, well presented and fresh. The staff were reslly friendly, the place was very clean and well lit. Got good vegetarian options.”

“Lovely pub great location brilliant service Sunday lunch good price roast beef Yorkshire pudding fresh veg very nice pint of IPA went down well”

“The service is always great here. The staff are always friendly and professional. I also really like that every Capo Lounge has the same vibe through the UK. The ones I have been to in Mansfield, Birmingham and Stratford upon Avon are anyway. I can honestly say we have never had a problem with the service here. We eat and fine dine most weekends, but we still just love going for a good old English Fry Up! The cocktails are lush and YES, I drank one before 12pm ;)”

“Me and my kids visit often, Staff are friendly, food is always great and atmosphere is so relaxed, it’s a nice place to go”

“We came to the Ling Forest on a Monday, not only was it such a welcoming atmosphere but they also do an amazing quiz night. The staff are all so friendly and the landlord and lady cannot do enough for you. Making you feel welcome, talking to all customers and spending time getting to know them. This is why the have such dedicated regulars. It’s a truly lovely happy place to be.”

“Incredibly busy at 9pm 3 deep at the bar. Place was nice beer was ok. Guinness was a very decent price.”

“Amazing little cafe! The staff is super friendly, the place has a cozy and unique vibe. Most importantly, the coffee is so good! I would recommend their fudge to go with the coffee too, cappuccino fudge was delicious!”

“This place is by far the best cafe in Shirebrook. Staff are amazing and the atmosphere in there is fantastic. I struggle with a variety of sensory issues and the owner has made it such a lovely place to come to.”
