The Plainsman, Mapperley

Was invited to the Plainsman by a great offer and decided to check out Mapperley Top as a fresh venue for pubs & dining. Nine of us arrived and we parked two cars at the Plainsman to dine there. Not being familar with the local nightscene we decided to look at what the area had to offer. Within three minutes of leaving the cars, they were both ticketed and fined a total of �150. The staff said it was nothing to do with them. Luckily we visited the cars before spending any money in the pub because we realised then that we could no longer afford to dine there. We will never tread foot on Mapperley Top again if this is the welcome we can expect. So be sure that if you visit the pub, do not step off the premises, you must drive off the premises.
