I WENT to BRITAIN'S WORST TOWN to an ALL YOU CAN EAT Chinese Buffet and was SHOCKED!

This town needs to be boarded up and left to rot. All the people have fled the town and left it rack and ruin. The only place I could find was this All You Can Eat Chinese Buffet Restaurant. Is this Buffet the town's best asset and is it worth risking visiting this crime troubled town to sample the food here? Let's find out...

    Mansfield and all of the surrounding area has never been the same since the pit, ( mining industry ) closed down. Overnight, thousands of miners lost their jobs and the money they earned, that would have been spent in the local area economy was'nt there any more. It was not just miners that lost their jobs but also shops, cafes, leisure centres and other industries that relied on the mining industry also closed down in the knock on effects of the pit closures. To this day the area has never recovered and probably never will.

    A buffet is totally against the essence of Chinese food, which is cooked hot and fast. Leaving it in heated trays for a long time and a lot of the flavour and goodness is gone. Also perhaps it's mostly a Northern thing to have chips with everything, even in a Chinese and then to mix rice and noodles and potatoes, much like pasta and chips.

Aberdeen which had an iconic all granite main St has virtually banned all cars from centre as well as LEZ non- compliant vehicles .

    Mansfield has changed a lot, it is also my home town. I remember the market being massive and the second hand flea market was a treasure trove for everything you wanted, the four seasons shopping Centre was always packed, it all changed just as I was leaving school and the pits closed, the whole area died. I moved to Grimsby on the east coast and it was worse! I now live in ollerton and love it! compared to the east coast it is paradise, specially with sherwood forest on my doorstep

But, when it came to the infamous "Mandarin Chinese Buffett", one of our guys, a 6ft+ rugby player held the record of 7 platefuls. I knew i had a big appetite, so made a point of having 8 platefuls and held the record till our contract out there finished. I felt absolutely stuffed to the point of feeling very uncomfortable for the night, BUT, i had the great pleasure of being our groups man for eating. Great vid Lee, and yes, Mansfield does look like it`s seen better days, which is a shame because it looks like it has some lovely old buildings.
