Ling Forest Inn in Mansfield

Only went in to drop off poppy appeal stuff.

Very friendly bar staff, lots of parking, nice and clean

Nice pub , popped in Saturday when passing with my son , sat outside and enjoyed a drink .

I big mention to pat who did my dad’s funeral buffet, it was up and above our expectations. We all said my dad would have loved being there at the bar with us all , the ling pub was my dad’s local. Warm friendly atmosphere, as soon as we walked in, and nothing was to much trouble We can’t thank you enough Pat .

What can I say about Pat & the staff at the ling!! Always welcoming, always accommodating and always a happy smile when we come in. Been a regular for a few years now and Pat goes above and beyond for everyone. Friday with the private event was beyond what anyone could have imagined for a local pub who doesn't do food. We had a fantastic buffet (which just never ran out) it was fantastic night with great atmosphere as always. Pat really needs the recognition of how hard she works and truly is the heart of The Ling Forest Pub!

What a night for annabel’s 21st birthday!! We had a great night and even better buffet that was done by Pat! The music was fantastic and we couldnt have had a better night! Pat made sure everything was taken care of and ensured we all had the best night! Couldnt ask for a better local!

Called in for the first time as my wife & I were staying overnight in the area. What a pub. A proper local. We were welcomed in by the staff who were so friendly. After acouple of hours we felt like locals. The pub was not doing food but were happy for us to order in. Great beers. Happy Days. Thank you to all the team for a great day. We will be back. Cheers.

What a lovely couple they are.it.s pleasure to visit the best pub inmansfield

Brilliant atmosphere . Just moved to the area and was made to be very welcome . Brilliant absolutely brilliant .

Great place to be and great people to be around always a positive and happy atmosphere The management and team members are so kind caring and approachable and engage with all customers This is our go to place

Our new local having moved to this area recently, friendly and hard working staff, nice beer at a good price, landlord and landlady seem very nice, went out her way to find me a chair for the euro final,enjoyed the live music nights also.

My local pub, great beer at a good price and friendly locals. You can drink at home, or go and support your local. I prefer the latter. Go and visit them!

I've given 5 stars for food, they don't do food inside but there's a pizza wagon outside and they are really nice. A very well run pub and a friendly atmosphere

I have never felt so welcomed in a pub thank you to both the landlord and the landlady🎉 we will all be coming again very soon

lovely staff, always greet you with a smile and a lovely conversation

Lovely , very friendly plenty of seating outside when the sun is shining lovely owners and staff , always made welcome

The land lord and lady are absolutely the best friendly sociable we had my fathers wake here we was treated with the utmost respect

Very nice local pub, selling a good choice of beers at a fair price. The landord and landlady are very friendly and sociable. Probably got the best beer garden locally which i am looking forward to using again when the weather warms up.

Lovely place to relax with a pint

Best pub quizzes and food during the quiz. Great selection of beer, what more do you need. The boys new pub after football on Mondays, get down to the Ling 🍺👍🏻

Started coming on Mondays after football. 2 quizzes, sticky 13s, a buzzing atmosphere, good drinks selection, sport on the big screen with great hosts and staff. We’ve found our new go to.

First time in the boozer, clean and well organised, staff were fab and the landlord was a cracking gentleman

Brilliant pub,all the staff are very friendly and good at their job , Ali and Dave make you feel very welcome

Great evening at the ABBA tribute group. Landlord and landlady always attentive to all customers.

Had an evening in The Ling Forest tonight for the ABBA tribute Fantastic night Very friendly staff , great service Already planning our next visit Lovely pub and such a lovely welcome Thankyou everyone Very much appreciated 👍

We had a lovely night when we visited in December. We came back with our friends later in the month to show off the recent refurbishment. The new managers are very hospitable and i really enjoy the decor, menu, music and overall atmosphere. We are looking forward to visiting again soon in the new year.

Our first visit here, made to feel welcome as soon as we walked through the door. The landlord and lady Dave and Ali came over to our table had a chat with us. Will definitely returning after our enjoyable afternoon .

Christmas Eve what a night! 3rd generation in this establishment! Great staff! Great atmosphere! Great beer! Management's looking after everyone, joining in. will be back. Highly recommend.

We haven't been in here for a few months. We are so glad we popped in! Staff were brilliant 👏 a warm welcome from the new managers and the have all the sport. What a great night. We'll be back. Highly recommend!

We didn't eat here but the atmosphere was good, and so was the beer

Lovely pub home from home and good beer 🍺 😀

Absolutely spot on, went in for the quiz a few weeks ago, staff were friendly, customers were having a good time, free food at the quiz and the football on. What more do you need.

We have visited you before. Its a very welcoming and friendly pub. that's why we went back. We're we normally go it's bottled Guinness. So to be able to have a pint from draft is heaven to me. As you don't normally get it on draft. The staff were really friendly aswell

Great little pub to watch the football, staff and customers both friendly

Fantastic new owners, very welcoming and had a great time at the quiz night 🎉

Watched Craig Williams last night - brilliant night! Lovely new landlord and landlady we had a great time! ☺️

First time in this pub, called in with my wife on the way too centre parks for a well earned break, after looking at reviews on the internet we thought this would be a good place for a drink to start our adventure and how wrong was we !! We walked in to a lovely polite young lady working behind the bar rushed off her feet, glasses everywhere and what looked like regular drinkers asking her “why are you on your own” much too our surprise that young girl just carried on working. We had a quick drink and left, I’m in the pub industry myself and was disappointed how some staff can be treated. The pub itself and the location is great the beer was lovely and the staff on the day was very professional even under the pressure. WELL DONE 👏 whoever you are.

Fantastic pub! We were in the area visiting family and we’re made to feel so welcome by the new owners Ali and Dave. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again

Fantastic service friendly pub Great beer

We visited the pub last week for the first time in many years. David and Ali have done a fantastic job and make everyone feel truly welcome. We'll done on providing a brilliant atmosphere 👌

This lovely community pub has now got a new landlord and landlady. I personally know them from their previous pub and they are the nicest people you could ever wish to meet. I visited the Ling for the first time last week and it is so clean and welcoming. Anyone visiting this lovely pub won't be dissapointed 😊

Went to Abba tribute night on Saturday 16th. Fantastic night. Very friendly pub staff very helpful and very pleasant. We're made very welcome by staff and regulars. Drinks reasonably priced. We'll worth a visit if you are in the area. Plenty of outside seating and parking spaces.

Brilliant atmosphere although really busy the bar staff were fantastic, had a right laugh with them this is definitely where I’d be spending more of my time

Called in for what was meant to be a quick pint on our way home from a bike ride which quickly turned into 3. The staff were friendly and very welcoming, and the pub has had a little freshen up since our list visit a good few years ago. We will definitely call in again

Great staff and the beer is kept perfectly

Nice afternoon drink with my friend, first time out for me following recent health issue, great beer garden

No chance ,£1.95 for blackcurrant and soda 38 pence in spoons

A lovely friendly cosy pub,and a very relaxed air about it

Lovely pub with a nice friendly atmosphere, staff were nice and welcoming.

A good friendly local pub with some guest ales

Great pub, not many left like this, the landlord and lady are amazing and have lifted the pub to new heights. Staff are fantastic and the beer is perfect

One of the best most welcoming places in the local area, from the bar staff right through to the management they are fantastic people who can never do enough for you

This is going to be our local!! Made to feel really welcome. Lovely friendly people !!

Fantastic atmosphere and great bar staff who can’t do enough for you. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be visiting again

Good local pub no food just good beer and good staff and lots of fun

Fantastic New years Eve . Band , buffet, and fireworks. Lovely evening

Lovely pub nice and relaxing good service would highly recommend

This place is a great local pub to visit 😀 the staff make you feel very welcome 🙏, even though we are strangers to the pub, we had a great time, even the locals were welcoming saying good evening and good night even though they didn't know us 😀 great pub great people 😀 😊 👍

Very relaxing popular pub, they don't do food but if you just want to meet up with friends, it the place to be, nice staff good prices for drinks (won't break the bank)

Never been here before popped in for a colleagues retirement party, really nice pub, nice staff too.

Great local pub. New landlord and landlady putting in a fantastic effort. great beer and fantastic staff looking forward to watching the World Cup here.

Went here for a quick drink with my best friend tonight, sat quietly out the way in the corner and did not disturb anyone at all. We then went into the toilet together for us to then have the male owner bashing on the door very aggressively and immediately telling us to leave and that we are barred and are not aloud to finish our drinks, with absolutely no explanation whatsoever. Would not recommend to anyone, atmosphere is rubbish ,whole place needs a good revamp and the landlord is totally out of order and rude. :))

Fantastic pub . .. great owners and bar staff are very friendly and make you feel so welcome .. not many like this left nowadays

Great local pub with a friendly atmosphere.. Good pint! Recently been renovated and had new upholstery throughout and decorated.. looks really nice

Was staying local in a bed and breakfast and found the Ling Forest by chance ..found landlords friendly great atmosphere.. beer was kept well ., will definitely use the pub again when we are back in the area.. Thank you for making us so welcome..

Watched the Forest game here, brilliant atmosphere, absolutely packed as lots of screens to watch the game on. Lovely staff, great beer!! Will definitely be returning.

Visiting the area and popped in to the Ling Forest for a drink. We found everyone exceptionally friendly, from the customers, staff and the as we found out, new land lord and lady. We stayed for a couple of games of pool, then sat in the sun, in the huge pub garden for a few beers. Definitely will be returning in the future, as made to feel very welcome.

Always have fun when i visit here and end up staying longer than intended. Brilliant pub.

Great pub! Loved our evening out there 😃

Lovely pub great atmosphere amazing staff! Enjoyed our visit here, defo be back again 😊

Great staff great beer and great prices and an epic atmosphere to go with it :)

Lovely pub, friendly staff. Great offers

Still good as ever. Proper pub wiyh great tasting beer and excellent bar service.

I always thought I wouldn't like this pub but in reality I really enjoy going now i have tried it. Its definitely a drinkers pub, honestly haven't seen anyone eat there. The decor is old school as you like but maintained well. Lots of lovely regulars and everyone is very welcoming. Give it a try. It even has an interesting history you can ask about (WW2 US military built it I believe)

Awesome staff, and real great beer highly recommended.

Fantastic place to be, great beer and atmosphere. The staff are marvellous and nothing is ever a problem for them 👏👏💛💙

10 out of 10 for all the bar staff. Firstly they were brilliant at keeping the place clean in a time of covid and taking away glasses. I am not a local and only went in to watch the sport but the staff were really friendly and seemed to have a great relationship with their regulars.

Soft drinks over expensive beer ok tap only £1 .95 for small glass of Blackcurrant &Soda rip off or what.

Great atmosphere / quality beers and staff. Fantastic prices

Great local pub. Great atmosphere. Great friendly service.

Not been heard since I was a teenager with the family. Nice friendly local pub. Staff are polite and friendly. Worth popping in for a pint.

Just a local nothing special no food. Beer expensive.

Beer very poor. I was served a pint of pipe cleaner. Took me 10 minutes to get my money back. Now go to the best pub in Mansfield, Priors Well. What a place!!!!!!

Sitting outside is very comfy I enjoy my stay x

Friendly staff and great atmosphere
