After a funeral we were invited here , the food arranged was dried out sandwiches, and a reasonable sausage roll /pork pie. Very disappointed that they didn’t have decaf tea or coffee. Considering the pub was fairly busy , only one young girl on the bar . Toilets weren’t very clean either.

Visited a few times now with friends, on all occasions we got a very warm welcome, the menu is very good alot of choice. The food is very good came out piping hot, and in very good time. Really good portions too, the side orders are of a good size aswell. All at a very reasonable price. I will definitely be returning and would highly recommend.

If your In Mansfield and want a bite to eat this is the place to be or simply relax with a drink on your own or with friends your always made to feel welcome. We popped in for a light lunch and a drink the staff were professional friendly and knowledgeable of all products they offer A friendly lady called Alex served our drinks and took our food order in less than 15 mins a well mannered young man called Dan brought our food to us, great value great service

Visited with our grandchildren. Food was fine, fresh and hot except on the medium kids meals very small portion of chips. Actually 8 chips on one of their meals, which isn't enough. I will mention this if we go again! The disabled toilet needs a really good clean as it was grubby and very smelly, stunk of urine!! Not just from that day either as noted this previously. Staff as always polite and pleasant.

My fellas attended a funeral wake here, and whilst driving by we, impromptu stopped for lunch. I used the app Q to order food - simply done no trouble! The food is gorgeous (he had scampi and I had the kerbab), and when asked if I could have a sprinkle of cheese for my jacket potato, Alex was lovely and obliged. Relax atmosphere and brilliant service with piping hot food - definitely coming again and would 100% recommend a visit to others !

We came for a wake after a funeral and it was very disappointing, it's a sad enough day as it is but felt let down by the food and tea/coffees,£1.50 per cup and not a great quality,a lot were buying their own from the bar so that says a lot,the food was poor quality and at £8.50 a head I thought it would be better,dry ish bread,not great sausage rolls or pork pie,the crisps were the nicest thing on there,£50 for the hire of the room too so it mounted up.we didn't say anything as we were upset enough by the days event.came to one here before and the food was nice that's why we chose it.

Came here for lunch with friends, was quiet for a nice bank holiday, but the way the owner talks to staff I'm not suprised, went to ask a member of staff about pool ques (I was fully masked up the whole time unlike all the staff) and was rudely asked why I was at the bar. Before I could say ven answer a member of staff ran over and said what I was there for then she proceeded to speak to me through him and was extremely sharp and rude. Being in the customer service industry you'd think that she'd be able to speak to customers in a better manner

My partner and I visited the Rushley for lunch. The guy front of house was so rude and unwelcoming that we nearly turned around and walked straight out, but decided to give the place the benefit of the doubt. Big mistake. The vegetarian selection was limited so we opted for margherita pizzas with a side of cheesy garlic dough balls. The same guy was rude to my partner when he went to order but once you’ve paid there’s no going back. There was not so much as a smile, no welcoming chat, no basic customer service at all. When it came the food was well presented, however that was the only good thing about it. The “cheesy garlic dough balls” were not only devoid of garlic, they were completely raw on the inside with lumps of unmelted cheese, and came with a dip that consisted of tomato passata. No herbs, garlic or seasoning of any kind, just straight out of the packet. At least you can’t go wrong with cheese and tomato pizza... or so we thought. The pizza topping was the same as the dip - plain passata with zero added flavour at all. We’d asked for an extra topping of red onion, which was fine apart from us each having a big chunk of onion root - the bit you cut off and throw away. The underside of my partner’s pizza was also covered in little black bits of burnt semolina from a dirty pizza oven. All in all, a very disappointing experience and not one we ever intend to repeat.

Poor Service; Dirty Tables; Miserable Staff..An impromptu get together with friends at The Rushley. Not been there in years, suggested by one of the group.Car parking was good, plenty of spaces, outside appearance not bad. Get to the bar to order ‘Diet COKE’ with brandy, offered ‘Pepsi’. Now most people in the hospitality sector know that Diet Coke is not Pepsi Max... change time lemonade, a simple, straight forward drink. I’m presented with brandy and lemonade, when I confirm I asked for just lemonade, wow ... attitude of the barman, my friends heard what I said clear enough.. oh and served in a dirty glass.. nice touch.So we hunt for a table, most are either reserved with no one sat at them or dirty, full of used crockery and glasses.We clear a table and ask if they could take them away and wipe the dirty / sticky table .. eventually the crockery & glasses were taken away but after 4 requests for the table to be wiped, a staff member was cleaning tables around us and we again asked for it to be cleaned.. this didn’t give us confidence in the attention to hygiene.. we all four decided not to order food.Instead we decided safe to go for 3 coffees and a hot chocolate... ‘It’s not working’, the hot chocolate, no apology, no alternative offered, no upselling - tho I doubt they know what that actually is, nothing - it’s not working... :( :( Not a place I or we will return to, needs a better management team, better customer service training and hygiene training..Wouldn’t recommend, would suggest avoid and drive a little further in to Mansfield for better hospitality, better service, better hygiene and a better evening outI’d struggle to give 1 star rating out of 5

Had booked in here several weeks ago to celebrate my mum’s 90th birthday.I am a Coeliac, and the restaurant were aware of this beforehand.My starter was supposed to be King prawns, but turned out to be frozen shrimps, not a good start.My wife and I both ordered nut cutlet. When the meals arrived we asked which was the Gluten free one, which I started to eat. After a while my wife noticed that my meal contained parsnips and roast potatoes which hers didn’t. We then realised I had been given the wrong meal. When I told the waiter, he could not have cared less, stating he had told us which was the GF meal, but all our diners said that was wrong.For dessert I had ordered cheese and biscuits, but no GF biscuits arrived. Why, when so much notice was given, were GF crackers or biscuits not available?My grand nephews burger was burnt, solid and inedible. Again, when mentioned to the waiter, all he could say was “I’ll tell the chef”. There was no mention of replacing the meal or any refund.My wife’s dessert was inedible too.Service was extremely slow, despite there not being many diners.Overall a very disappointing experience, on what was an auspicious occasion.I will never return here.

Typically poor pub chain food. Grabbed a quick lunch as was meeting with others there. The burger was dry and overcooked. There are more chips in a kids happy meal than were served with the burger. And the few chips that were served were cold and overcooked so rock hard. I knew it was a risk before ordering, but come on guys, put a LITTLE effort into the food!!!!

Having eaten many times before we 7 of us from work decided to book for the xmas fare for 1pm.Having waited a while before the starter came out the bread roll with the prawn cocktail was a part baked roll which came out cold straight from fridge not even crispy or warmed through then we waited even longer for main everything was microwaved and not cooked fresh and the pig in blanket was no bigger than thumb nail and waited even longer for dessert.Cheese and biscuits came with no butter or knife so had to ask staff to which was obviously too much trouble. Asked for butter and got flora had to ask again for butter.So it took 2 hours to serve us 3 courses. Had to wait a while at the bar to get served drinks even though it wasn't busy.Staff walking by not even acknowledged the fact we were there.Staff need training in customer care and service.Would not recommended.

After having several beautiful meals throughout the year, I decided to book a Christmas meal with friends. There were 7 of us and we had to pay a £5 deposit each to book. I had to inform the manager that one of my friends wasn't coming as she was poorly. I was told 'well we've got all the meals prepared' in a very stroppy childlike manner (this was the manager). I apologised and said we have already paid her deposit.When the starter came out, one of my friends had to return the tomato soup as there was loads of cream on the top and she's allergic (it only said 'tomato soup' on the menu. Never stated it involved cream). Anyway, 1 of the members of staff and the manager both did an eye roll when my friend mentioned it, which we all noticed and thought it was absolutely appalling customer service. The main turkey dinner came out and it looked like a microwave meal. Veg was hard, no parsnips, potatoes tasted like aunt Bessie so they were lovely but pigs in blankets were burnt. Turkey was beautiful. I wouldn't recommend ordering from the Christmas menu if this is what you get.

The bill arrived and we paid over the amount asked, leaving tips for the waitresses, just before leaving the manager came over and said we had underpaid by 85p!!! After objecting she walked away, told me I owed £13.49 for my meal when it was only £6.99, then told me to calm down when I questioned it, what a rude person, hence we will not return again.

We had Sunday dinner at the Rushley today for a change as we usually visit on Saturdays. Our Sunday meal was absolutely delicious and we'll certainly be doing this again! Well worth the money too! Very tender meats and lots of tasty veg and gravy, including Yorkshire pud. We certainly think The Rushley is worth recommending and it has been our 'local' for a long time, even before it changed hands. In addition, the the staff are great; always friendly and helpful, and welcoming to all. The tables are cleared quickly after meals and it's a pleasant venue for a get together with friends, a party or a wedding reception (we've seen a few of those)!. We've also noticed improvements since the new manageress took over. She is very efficient. All the staff work hard and our opinion is that the Rushley gives excellent service and great food! Give it a try!

Firstly I'd like to say the staff were fine, no issues in that department at all. However, the food wasn't acceptable. This again is probably not the fault of the staff as Im sure it arrives prepackaged and just needs heating. The beef in red wine was horrible, didn't feel or taste remotely of beef. Both my wife and I had this and both portions were identical. Three fatty pieces of connective tissue in a sauce. Brussels that were hard as golf balls, carrots and peas with roast potatoes that were almost tasteless. The pudding, festive cheesecake was eaten, only because we were hungry. Not exactly a great pudding.The staff were informed at the end of the meal.To sum up, excellent staff hospitality poor food...

I and my family have been going to this place 15 years. It used to be a nice atmosphere. Not any more. It is now attracting groups of loud obnoxious middle aged blokes that spoil the previously pleasant quiet atmosphere. The staff are all still pleasant, but the new manageress seems to be difficult. One day we sat at a table where there was no reserved sign, and she came and told us to move as it was reserved. This is insulting, embarrassing and inconvenient. The next time we went, there were NO reserved signs ANYWHERE, but we were told to get out of the entire back section as she "Had a few coming in later." She either has a serious problem with us in particular, or is irresponsible and overbearing in general. We have stopped eating here after being regular customers for many years. Several times we have been abused by drunken loudmouths while in and outside of this place, too. Not worth bothering to try to spend any more quiet pleasant afternoons here, the food is okay, the staff are very nice in general, but the recent clientele and the attitude of the new manageress has put us off. A terrible shame.

Effort has clearly been made on making the place look better but also run better. The staff look happier and as far as pub chains go this is now a place I would re-visit.Our family held a funeral gathering here recently where one of our party was taken ill and an ambulance had to be called. The duty manager Callum was so helpful and genuinely seemed concerned. Couldn't have asked for any better service, we was looked after very well!! To anyone who has been whilst the other manager was here, I urge you to give this place another try as we were very pleasantly surprised!

Food here used to be quite good, ordered Steak and ale pies with chips, received a soggy clearly microwaved pie and soggy chips, with frozen peas! mmmm thanks! Was it too much trouble to have crispy chips and a crusty pie? Used to come here alot with the Mrs as its closed to town, has it had new "chefs"?

Went yesterday .. 4 adults and 2 children !! Do not order the Sunday lunch XL !! It was disgusting the roast beef didn't taste of anything. I've been here a few times and food is generally good for pub grub !! The mash potato was smash lathered in marg!! And the chef's special gravy was to put it bluntly an oxo cube the plate was swimming in water !! However my husband had burger and he enjoyed it !! When the waitress came to clear the table I mentioned the watered gravy and she said she noticed when she was brining the lunches out that it was watery !! ?? Did she bring it out then !!!

Big open plan pub with big car park. Bit dark unless you are by the windows or outside.Loos were fresh and clean. Some of the tables weren't particularly so. They'd been wiped but some very old food smears were still stuck to them. And the bottoms were literally falling out of the bottom of some chairs. Menu quite varied for a pub and the quality was pretty good if a bit oily. But watch out for the offer of two courses for a set price. They don't tell you either in the menu or in person that if you don't order say the dessert when you order the main (how do you know what you will fancy then?) you won't get one unless you pay extra. I could have argued the point but if that's their attitude...

Have been there several times in 2016, and always had good meals and usually better value than other venues in the area. Its usually quiet which is not a good sign, but the staff are friendly and the food cooked and served professionally. Decor in need of refurb but don't let that put you off.

A good modern open plan pub with food. Food is pub style and usually delivered very quickly with a smile. Inexpensive simple food and good value. Decent ale usually on too. Great for young kids. A good pub

Went in for a quick drink with the Mrs and was greeted by friendly staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere. But as soon as I walked through the men's toilets door was greeted by wet floors and toilet seat splattered with urine and faeces.

Called in for a meeting and ordered a wrap to eat. Service was prompt with friendly staff. The wrap came without one of the main ingredients unfortunately. I pointed this out and received a polite response and the offer of a free drink, which I took up.This is your normal chain type premises, it is clean and tidy and ok for a visit if this is the kind of menu you are after.

This evening my husband and I went to the Rushley with our daughter and her friend. It has recently changed its manager and we thought we would give it a go as in December we had a really bad meal there. Wow! What a difference new management makes. Dawn is the new manager and after our bad experience she convinced me to return. I can honestly say she is a wonderful manager who puts her customers first. She has gone out her way to make the pub a better place and this was noticeable when we returned this evening. Dawn is definitely an asset to the Marston's company and her customer service is of a very high standard. All the staff were polite and courteous and kept checking to make sure everything was okay with our meals. The blonde lady behind the bar was especially nice and went out her way to talk to you. The food was excellent. Good, hearty pub grub. They also had a gluten free menu which was useful as I am a coeliac. My daughter and her friend loved the playground outside but we're a little disappointed when it got dark as they couldn't see very well. I mentioned this to a member of staff who informed me she was sure there was an outside light and she would go and check. True to her word afew minutes later the outside light came on. My little girl was thrilled she could go out and play for a little longer. Thank you to the young girl who did this, it was nice to be listened to. The Rushley you have redeemed yourself and we will definitely be back to enjoy your great service, food and hospitality. Thank you again, especially Dawn the manager, Louise xxx

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!

Recently I’m new to the area and am trying out new pubs to go to with part of my rugby team. Came here for a couple drinks after one of my games and was pleasantly surprised. Service was great and quick from the 2 lovely bartenders and was relatively cheap. Would recommend to the rest of the team to come again.

Lovely warm welcome from the staff, nicely decorated restaurant, glowing in warmth and friendliness. Prompt service at the bar, good selection of beers, shown to our table, nicely situated in the corner (Table 20). Order taken quickly, food cooked to perfection, delivered exactly as ordered. Excellent table side etiquette by the servers, table service for extra drinks, pots cleared away promptly on finishing our meals. All the staff were well drilled in customer service, which to me is a reflection on how training in attention to detail, is operated by the manager and team. Excellent.
