What has happened to The Mansefield since Martin left??? the Patronising little man that is running things now needs a personality update, especially since opening again after Covid shutdown. He insists using a tracking app that does not work, in front of him I tried to log on to it and he still insisted I try even after trying himself. then after 35 minutes and me deciding to leave and go elsewhere he took the details and my order manually, no apologies just excuses. The food was at best mediocre, when asked how it was and told politely it was not up to any standard that we have been used to for 30 years, again, no apologies just excuses. his patronising manner is so off putting we will not be back after dining here for 30 years. Other diners backed me up and what happened? MORE excuses. Martin could be grumpy sometimes but always listened when you had a problem and always tried to sort it out if not there and then, after you had gone and made a point of contacting you and offering his solution. Then the bill came, a BIG rise in prices for a poor meal and even poorer service. Now I understand why for the first time ever it was nearly empty at tea time on a Thursday night on pay week. After making my own enquiries from people we have met dining here over the years they also commented on the nasty little manager and the poor food nowadays. Bye Bye...

If you're looking for that mystical 'pub lunch' that fills your belly with gloriously cared for food. This place does that and I'm very thankful for it. They had Inch's cider on draft which is perfect for me and made my partner a healthy pint of orange and lemonade.
Staff all genuinely love the food too and nice can see why, its classic food items done well which shouldn't be as rare as it is.
I find it tough getting proper good grub from pubs at times but this place did not disappoint. Pricing was very reasonable, I've paid more for significantly less quality food before and I've kept the recipe to remind myself that truly good food need not be attached to a ludicrous price tag.
Well done everyone who makes The Mansfeild Arm's operate day to to, you all...
Read moreThis is a working man's pub with the restaurant sit-down area being separated by a wall partition. Unfortunately, you can hear all of the banter from the pub area, and it can get a little lively. If you want that modern sit-down restaurant, feel.... this isn't that. In saying this, the service and food are excellent with good portions and great choice and value for money. The sit-down area has an open fire with good table layout and seating areas. I would recommend this place if you have been shopping at Sterling Mills or the outlet. It is a five minute drive and better value for money for...
