The best restaurants in Oakham Mansfield East Midlands

When someone says breakfast out a burger van I automatically think greasy undercooked tasteless food! But this wasn’t the case when myself, husband and two little girls decided to try Cater King! The food is cooked perfectly, it’s very filling and great value for money! We all enjoyed it! Definitely worth going and having a taste yourself!

Visited here on a Tuesday as a last minute decision! Very accommodating as we were nearer the end of service! Starter was very nice, mushrooms on toast. Bread tasted very much like shortbread but the mushrooms in sauce were delicious. Main was chicken chasseur, absolutely delicious! Chicken was very tender it fell off the bone and the gravy was full of flavour. The mash potato was perfect and the veg was cooked to perfection! The chocolate tarte was very tasty. Overall the service was very good, staff were still a little nervous as they were new to the role but very polite. Very reasonably priced and we will definitely be returning.

Absolute gem! Fantastic food, superb service and a lovely environment. Cannot fault it Seek it out, it's worth it. So glad we did.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely. Chloe, who served me today, was very friendly and was committed to great customer service.

Portland College has a lovely coffee shop, there is a great selection of sandwiches, cakes, drinks, sausage rolls etc. Staff are very friendly and dogs are more than welcome with drinking water and dog treats available! The woodland walk is beautiful and if you’re lucky enough you may even get to see the therapy Donkeys that they have on site!

Smashing place as always never fails

Google and Costa website said it closes at 9pm on a Sunday, but when I turned up at 8:30pm they were tidying up and told me they were closed…

Food was gorgeous, very popular

Last weekend my old school friends and I enjoyed a reunion at 281. The owners and staff were helpful, friendly and could not have done more to make our event a success. Some stayed overnight in the refurbished bedrooms and said they had comfortable, clean rooms and also enjoyed a good breakfast! I have booked another reunion of work ex-work friends for April next year and have no doubts that having this also at 281 will be as good! Thank you 281 😊

On this occasion it was really busy the staff gave the impression that they couldn't manage as it took them over half an hour to bring two drinks out when they was bringing meals out

All i can say is food must be Microwaved. We ordered at 17:10.. paid £55 for crispy shredded beef , chicken chow mein,salt and chilli.chicken ..chips and half of duck ..we was told it would.be 1 hour ! 20 minutes later ot arrived ( we live around 4 miles away. All food was cold.. parts where warm but other parts cold! We wasted the whole lot . I did try calling the store but the owner wasn't interested. Usually I go spice of canton but they do.cash on delivery and I didn't have cash in house . The picture added is the whole food order chucked away into.1 bag..(£55 worth :-(

9 of us dined here and it was excellent - speedy service, delicious food, and a surprise cake for my mum's birthday. Our waitress Jo was lovely. We can't fault it and will be back.
