The Ladybrook in Mansfield

Booked this venue for a birthday party. The venue is a pub and although I realised the room was to be used prior to our party, I was disappointed that the room wasn’t cleaned up for our party. We arranged food for sixty and only just had enough for the 30 guest we had come. The food we ordered was hot roast beef cobs, roast potatoes and a veggie option. We didn’t get the roast potatoes and the veggie option was burnt. The whole event cost £300.00 with the disco. It didn’t spoil our evening but I wouldn’t recommend it for a hot food buffet but I have been told that the cold sandwich buffets are good. All in all I feel the cost of the venue and food was expensive and of poor quality.

This venue does NOT pretend to be a restaurant, it's a pub that serves food but I found the premises to be clean and the staff friendly, cheerful and helpful. My first visit for Sunday lunch and I was offered the choice of large (£6-00) or small (£4-00) I chose Large and was told there was a choice of three meats and I could have two on my plate, I chose beef only. My meal arrived and it was enormous ! 5 vegetables, creamed and roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding ans stuffing with 4 large slices of beef and SO WELL cooked, the whole meal was delicious. I didn't have room for desert in fact I left some of my meal because I was full. I would venture to suggest that t this is the best value Sunday lunch in Mansfield, not posh but comfortable. I don't live far away so I'm going to try a weekday lunch soon.
