Paddock

You know what you're getting when you walk into this Hungry Horse on Mansfield Road, and sometimes that's exactly what you want. The Paddock does the classics properly – think hefty mixed grills, fish and chips that actually fill the plate, and Sunday roasts that don't mess about with fancy garnishes. The crowd's a proper mix of families treating the kids, couples on a budget date night, and locals who've made this their regular. Service is straightforward and friendly, and while it won't win any design awards, it's comfortable enough for a long Sunday session. The beer's well-kept and reasonably priced, which counts for a lot when you're settling in to watch the match.
