Restaurant in Mansfield

“Went with my partner to the wine tasting we ith z set menu absolutely loved it, fantastic service from the waitress and waiter my partner got on really well with Danny, same daft sense of humour, he told us he's finishing the course soon and has a permanent job. I'm already looking to book again Return visit for Burns night serviced by Collin and Cody again excellent service nothing to much trouble, excellent meal very difficult to choose will be booking again.”

“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.”

“Let me start by saying i wish i tried here sooner. Ive stayed with the same takeaways ive tried and tested over the years and if im honest here isnt the best on the eye from the outside so ive been sceptical but i was wrong. Fast service very polite and the food was banging tender full of flavour. The smoked chicken was to die for curry full of flavours just the right amount and surprisingly cheaper than my normal go to. Can honestly say its worth a try. Credit to them. Only downfall is they do not deliver.”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“Brilliant venue, very clean, well kept.”

“I have left a review before and was really happy with our meals. But I wanted to do a special update. We got married on the 6th of September 2025 and decided to have our reception at The Gate in Langwith. Phil, Denise and the staff were fantastic, listened to what we wanted and had no issues with my requests. On the day we turned up and Denise had decorated the tables in the orangery beautifully. The meal was at the very high standard we have come to love from the chefs and could not fault any part of it. All our guests said it was a beautiful meal and it made our day even more memorable. I cannot praise Phil, Denise and the staff enough. Thank you all for the best day. Karen and Mike xxx We will add pictures as soon as we can x”

“Went to Barracuda tonight for the first time and it was STUNNING. One of the only places in Mansfield I've known to sell Savaloy which was absolutely delicious. The chips were incredible and very fresh. The servers were also incredibly friendly. I definitely will be coming here again!”

“Amazing food and service was great, definitely will be back. Peshwari Naan, mushroom rice, lamb shank in bhuna sauce, masala chips, tandoori lamb chops, tandoori king prawns, lamb puri, saag aloo, mushroom bhaji and a chef recommended curry which was all so so good and best I’ve ever had across the board, everything was just next level. Eyes bigger than our belly though so boxed up a few bits to take away - round 2 tonight, can’t wait ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Ordered on a Saturday night and food arrived after about 45 mins absolutely piping hot, food was delicious, we ordered a mini fish which was probably one of the largest mini fish we've had from a chippy, the chips were spot on and the sausages you could tell were fresh too. Will definitely order from here again.”

“Fancied fish and chips for ages. Decided to treat myself. The Blue Ocean did not disappoint. Large fish and chips was delicious! Big freshly cooked fish and perfect chips. And the staff were very friendly. Excellent thank you!”

“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.”

“Excellent Service and Food, the first time I have tried here, it will not be my last. Highly recommend.”

“Lite Bites do the best sausage cobs I've EVER eaten. At such great value too. And great staff. I literally drive 6 miles at lunchtime, past many other cob shops, just to experience the perfect food again.”

“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”

“Hands down one of the best roast dinners I’ve ever had. Absolutely faultless from the quality of the food to the epic portions! I’m never disappointed and the staff are so efficient and friendly. It’s worth the drive to come here!”

“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.”

“The food on both of my visits was nothing short of fresh and tasty! On the first visit, I had a Mexican (smash burger). This came with fries, but the drink was not included. The total was £11 but totally worth it. The portion sizes of the seasoned fries are good, and the chips were also very fresh with plenty of seasoning. The second visit, again, I tried peri peri burger with fries, this was also made to perfection, and they do not hesitate to give you sauces! The staff are friendly and always smiling and great at making recommendations and also gave me extra sauces to try! Overall, for the price, they are definitely worth it and I would recommend! Great presentation too!”

“Tried for the first time tonight, the food was absolutely beautiful and service was brilliant, staff were so helpful and friendly. Very reasonable prices too, would highly recommended”

“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 ;)”

“lovely lady serving us, we accidentally missed an item from our order and it was ready for us when we came to pick it up. she also gave us free drinks to say sorry despite the mistake being ours. lovely food, lovely staff.”

“Excellent gluten free options with 5 fryers used so gluten free available every day without forward warning. Prompt with readiness when ordered online. Great findz thoroughly recommend.”

“I've known it since I was a little kid so me n my mum decided that we would order from here and it was an absolute pleasure having a great meal very impressed with the food and the quality thank you and I'll order from you soon”

“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.”

“Really like this pub very friendly staff Go most weeks great atmosphere”

“Parking available outside the takeaway for a few cars. The menu offers a good variety. The set meals are brilliant and are ample. The food is nice and tends not to be really greasy. Really fast service. They are able to deliver to within their delivery area.”
