Can't say enough good things about our waitress, Grace - charming and helpful. One of our party was…read moreallergic to eggs, and she took the time to go back into the kitchen and store room and actually read the labels on things like ice cream to make sure it was safe! The food was all right. Not brilliant, but certainly nothing to be ashamed of. If I were going again, I'd stay with deserts and the many beers. Then again, if you like the very old traditional pub food, this is a good place for you to eat. But again, the service was GREAT. And the views are astounding. Make sure to sit by a window, visit the churchyard and graveyard next door too. A lovely area.

The Little John is a lovely little pub, just tucked away from the main Mansfield / Nottingham Road,…read moreand set in a lovely countryside surrounding. We have been there on a few occasions, most recently a few months back and it seems to have been refurbished and modernised since out last visit. The inside decor is nice and welcoming with a good atmosphere and friendly bar staff. They have a great choice of meals and special offers if you eat before 6pm. We went for the carvery on Sunday and I was really impressed, quick service and plenty of hot and filling food. I am vegetarian and they had 3 different choices of main meals to go with your Sunday dinner, they were also more than happy to make me some vegetarian gravy up! They have a small but nice beer garden and also a seperate function rooms for parties etc. A really nice pub, not too expensive and one I would highly recommend a visit.

Went in yesterday for the first time and ordered our meals. My partner asked when paying for extra…read moregravy to accompany our lunch. When the waitress came we asked for the gravy and she said that she was sorry and would fetch it. That was the last we saw of her. The place sounded like a creche with the screaming babies around the place and their parents seemed oblivious to their offspring instead choosing to play with their mobiles. This is not the fault of pub I realise that. TV screens were on the tables next to the wall all displaying football and their volumes were turned up so it made talking very difficult. My partners said her veg was cooked very nice but the meat seemed as though is was from a cheap cut of beef. Beer selection was good. The Lurcher is situated in a nice area. All in all maybe we went on a bad day but I won't let it put us off maybe trying once more and then giving it a fair crack of the whip.

Sat in here now after ordering three meals on their two for one deal. After ordering I said to the…read moreserver (a very loud and blunt man) "as we have ordered three meals can we have a take out pizza?" (they have done this several times before). Server replied "sorry pal, you have to do this when you order. Too late now" As I was walking off from the bar he shouted after me "you should remember for next time". 2 issues. 1. The first time I went here we had a great server who actually came to my table to tell me we were entitled to a take out pizza after we had ordered. 2. What difference does it make if he has already put the order through? It's simply an order to the pizza chef and ingredients. Luckily with plenty of other places to eat locally I won't have to come back.
