“ Just off the busy A617 Mansfield - Newark road in the tranquil grounds of Hexgreave Hall and Deer Park is a little gem of a Bistro called the Old Boiler Room where we had our Friday lunch yesterday. The Manager and Head Chef Wayne was away on holiday at the time but his highly trained staff still continued to deliver the same first class service even when under pressure from so many unexpected diners who had come to enjoy an early autumn treat either on the sun terrace or like us inside. Simply Delightful! ”
“ ’ve been to The old Boiler Room a few times now both for lunch during the day and for a few of their evening food nights and it’s always spot on. The food is amazing every time, the atmosphere is really welcoming, and the staff are always helpful and polite. Whenever I get the chance to pop in for lunch, or even just for a cake and coffee, it’s definitely one of my go to places. ”
