A very large spacious restaurant with lots of space in between tables and quite surprised that it was not busy although a very large party did arrive. Menu was only roast... More

Others in our party chose liver and onions (which looked wonderful), steak, scampi, pie of the day .....and everyone enjoyed their meal. Excellent table service from... More

We go here nearly every time we visit my inlaws who live in Ravenshead. We usually go for the '2 main courses for £12' which offers a good choice, including steak, steak and ale pie, fish, mixed grill and liver and onions. Most of the mains come with a choice of potatoes, and vegetables. They do a few children's meals... More

The staff are efficient and friendly. We are steak lovers and the chef certainly knows his stuff. Portion sizes are generous and we have always been delighted... More

The pub was the old Mansfield Brewery flagship pub, but seemed to suffer a long period of neglect and, even though several managers did their best - it suffered from a lack of... More
