Mansfield Hotel

Can’t recommend going if you’re vegetarian or vegan the menu appears to have changed since the previous Happycow review and there is no vegan burger now As of dinner service on August 7th 2022 there was 1 (one) vegan or vegetarian main of “Vegan Spicy Mapo Tofu” on the menu which was frankly terrible and absolutely not worth $28. Some flavourless silken tofu on jasmine rice with some steamed veg is not mapo tofu and the dish wasn’t even slightly spicy. Service was friendly and attentive but I would never return here unless the menu is completely revamped. There was not much of a pub vibe in the annexe where we were seated either a too brightly lit, high ceilinged room with tile flooring and lots of hard surfaces. Not at all the country pub we were hoping for. Updated from previous review on 2022 08 07

We stopped here for lunch on the way through. The pub doesn’t have the most amazing atmosphere in the world but we did score a shady table in the courtyard. The vegan options are there but limited and both my companion and I ordered the vegan burger. Outside orders are made from a counter. On advice of the previous review we were worried our food would take forever to arrive but it was delivered in reasonable time. The burgers were unremarkable but filled a gap. We weren’t drinking but it could be a dece place for a social beer in the courtyard. I wouldn’t make a point if stopping for food or atmosphere though.

Perfect in many ways. Service was super friendly, ambiance perfect, GM was the nicest and then after all that.... The food was the highlight.. mushroom pie was off the charts good... Goulash was amazing.. crumble could be crumblier... But a great dinner and memorable regardless. Thank you so much.

Very nice place to crash for the night. Very reasonably priced and prime location. 3 of us arrived Friday night for a late check in around 10.30 pm. The staff was very welcoming and showed us the room and around the hotel amenities. There was water, kettle, coffee, sugar, tea and milk and a bar fridge in the room. These details were not mentioned in the booking site. (Couldn’t get a response to the message I sent to the property via booking.com) The room also had a inverter AC and a ceiling fan. The shared toilet and bathroom were very clean. Great water pressure in shower, heated lights in the shower room. The beds were pleasant. We booked the Family room and was perfect for 3 (can accommodate 4) people. Saw great reviews on the food/bistro. Kitchen closed by the time we arrived. So maybe next time! A point to note the hotel parking gate closes around 10 PM and reopens around 6 am. So if you arrive late (like us), you’ll have to park off street and there were enough free slots anyway on the street.

Incredible service from the manager (I assume) and staff. A super busy Easter Saturday evening and our booking for 9 people had unfortunately been put on the wrong day. Despite them being fully booked, they found us a space and ensured all our meals came out quickly. All of which were delicious! They went above and beyond, despite being run off their feet, and remained so warm and polite. 5 stars. Great pub with fantastic staff. Will be back next time we are in town.
