The Redgate Inn, Mansfield

Situated amongst housing on the outskirts of Mansfield, I caught the number 6 bus from the town centre here. The pub appeared in the Good Beer Guide as recently as 2022. So, I guessed it was worth the journey out of town. I was proved right. There was a friendly welcome from the smartly dressed barman and he also had 2 Castle Rock beers to offer me. One was Cosmic Dancer and the other was Forgot Me Notts, a collaboration with Ossett. I chose the Cosmic Dancer, which turned out to be my favourite beer of the day in Mansfield. Locals were watching an Australian resurgence in the cricket, as the after-work and after-school crowd started to arrive. I found the pub and especially the toilets to be clean and comfortable. It was well worth the trip out of town.

The Redgate looks like an early 60s built estate pub,the pub is a decent walk from the middle of Mansfield. Once inside the pub had two rooms with a smart comfortable lounge and a decent bar,i had a drink in the bar which was quite busy on my mid Saturday afternoon visit. When i went in this pub it was a Kimberley tied house and there were no real ales on the bar,i had a drink of keg Kimberley bitter which was a pretty poor drink. This is a locals pub,i only did this pub because it was one of the few pubs in Mansfield that i had'nt been in. Pub visited 26/3/2005
