The best restaurants in Mansfield East Midlands

Delicious pizza, chicken only here, delicious and fresh I recommend

Arranged a party for my mums 50th. The staff were so amazing and helpful, they went above and beyond when helping arrange and set up. Amazing prices as well!

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

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 😊

Went to nandos for evening. Was totally disappointed. Was met at the door with miserable girl.who wasn't overly friendly. Seated at a small table virtually on my neighbours lap! Could her all their conversation. Ordered food at the bar . Had the meal deal of full chicken. Sides. Drinks . £33.75 !!! Totally overpriced. Meal arrived 6mins later. Chips cold. Chicken was overcooked and very dry. Full of tiny bones. The waitress never came back to check everything was OK. Until we finished the meal. . Wish I had gone to the bar now and complained. Worked all week for a rare treat and this was the outcome. Totally disappointed. Also I've worked 25yrs in catering. I know the rules and the work involved. But found appalling the waitress came and cleared the table next to us. She wiped the floor with the cloth . Then wiped the table With the same cloth!!!! . Food and hygiene gone through the window. Finished the dried up meal and then the waitress decides to come then as she needs the table for next customers. Asked if everything was OK with the meal. I said no not really. The chicken was overcooked and dry. Full of tiny bones. She just laughed and said sorry and ran of . Very bad standards. Scruffy. Overcooked. Overcrowded. Poor value for money. A really disappointing meal and experience. Won't ever return. Waste of a lot of money. !

Now Spice Cottage, I ate on Friday with a friend and it was truly delicious. My mate ordered phall which isn’t even on the menu, I had a chef’s special that I hadn’t heard of before and after being told it was quite spicy they turned down the temperature to a bit below madras which the waiter suggested to me. Starters were ace too, bread and rice tip top. Also the wine was cheap because you take your own!

Ordered a Donner kebab, not had one in ages. The kebab meat is nice but they were stingy with the salad, hardly any salad at all and that's the best bit for me, so a disappointing 3 star. Probably won't go back, just went to this one as was visiting my mum.

My girlfriend ordered this evening for a delivery as she does each week, and has done for years (chicken rice and chips). Rang up at 5:43pm and was told it would be an hour. By 7:10pm it still hadn’t arrived so she rang up to enquire about the delivery and was met by a load of verbal abuse down the phone by one of the staff members, shouting that they were busy tonight and the food would turn up when it does. They never mentioned about it being busy on the original call. All she got was verbal abuse with him shouting what do you want me to do about it.? We finally got the food and it was stone cold and the girlfriend had to put it in the microwave to warm up. She then rang up about it, and it sounded as though the manager was there then, as they were sympathetic and offered us a free chips on our next order. Just be careful when you order and make sure you get your food on time (if not beforehand) I’d avoid if you can…!

Terrible, took 20 mins, for large chips and currys from taking order. Portion size was very small. It seems they taking advantage that they only chippy in woodhouse.

Poor customer service, filthy and treat their staff unfairly. Pay £4.50 a hour if in a good mood, calls them names, threaten their friends and family and then sacks them with no warning or explanation or pay. Feel sorry for their staff :( #neveragain

Truly awful. Cold pizza. Cold sausage rolls. Cold cheese slices. Cold everything. Complained to head office....they were even more useless than thus awful shop. Apparently Greggs serve everything cold unless you purchase when it's fresh out the oven. Don't be fooled by the lights in the display cabinet, it's designed to look like a hot hold but in fact everything in it is cold.

The place looks very inviting, traditionally decorated with a huge selection of cakes. Unfortunately the food that was served was very underwhelming, bland and basic, dumplings were greasy and tasteless, bacon and scrambled eggs just about cooked. even the cheesecakes we took away promised so much but delivered very little. The one saving grace was the sourdough bread, fresh and very good. Maybe we didn’t choose the right things? But probably won’t bother again.

I ordered for me and my daughter last night , we had special fried rice , beef and peppers in black bean sauce, king prawn chow mein, salt&pepper chips and salt&pepper spare ribs. Food came before the estimated delivery time and was piping hot. Will definitely be ordering again in the near future..

They forgot the chipotle sauce for 2 items, now we have dry sides. Not the best when we have spent £40!

Short staffed for a birthday Party had to wait a long time for drinks at the bar . The Place needs renovation as well
