Pub in Doncaster

“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted like family. The service at this Italian gem was truly exceptional — warm, attentive, and perfectly timed without ever feeling rushed. Every staff member seemed genuinely passionate about making our experience special. Now the food… wow. The pasta was clearly homemade — perfectly al dente and bursting with flavor. I had the truffle mushroom ravioli, and it was hands-down one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. The marinara sauce tasted like it came straight from a Nonna’s kitchen, and the tiramisu? Divine. We also appreciated the thoughtful wine recommendations, which paired beautifully with our meal. From start to finish, everything felt authentic, elevated, and full of heart. This is more than just a restaurant — it’s an experience. Can’t wait to come back”

“Great little venue! Good atmosphere.. Reasonable prices and some very friendly staff and djs! Good management and owner. Would highly recommend”

“A friendly lot of locals and great bar staff x”

“Went as a group of 6 on a busy Friday evening (11th Oct) and had a great reception from the get go. Fantastic food and service all night. I had the scotch egg and the duo of beef… both absolutely brilliant from taste to presentation. We were very comfortable, the decor was modern and well done whilst keeping a country gastro pub feel. 10/10 all round”

“I visited Tuesday evening and had a bbq chicken pizza and cookie&brownie desert. Both were full of flavour and were prepared with love, care and passion. The pizzas been made on site with fresh dough it was simply amazing thr best pizza I've had anywhere. I was visiting as part of an organised prepaid meal through my work but would have happily paid for this myself and another visit is definitely on the cards.”

“We go here a lot but never leave a review I recommend it. It is a good Place to eat! Five stars!”

“Went there for the braised beef with mash on a tuesday night. Food was top-notch, Guinness was great, service was superb. The atmosphere in this traditional pub was as brill as always. Still love the Horse & Groom!!!”

“A brilliant local pub with a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The team always makes you feel right at home, and there’s a real sense that they care about keeping things lively for the community. It’s great to see so much being planned over Christmas — the place already feels festive, and you can tell they’ve put real thought into creating something special for everyone. I’m especially looking forward to the comedy night in January. If it’s anything like their past events, it’s going to be a fantastic evening. A perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends, and enjoy what a proper local should be.”

“Awesome venue for live music, the small stage and pit is great for intimate gigs, especially when you see a band that are gonna be massive and they're literally dripping sweat on you”

“It doesn't serve food but it's still a great pub with friendly staff and fellow drinkers also had a singer on and disco. The prices are on par with witherspoons.”

“We had a fantastic time in here over the weekend for a retirement do and whilst visiting family. The drinks were perfect, well prepared with expert service behind the bar from staff who were friendly and offered great advice on what went with what. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend whether for a quick visit or a longer evening in. We'll be back!”

“Attended a family race night here for Carlton Youth Group. Had a great evening, staff polite and friendly. Lovely clean place.”

“Favourite pub in all the world, Ellie is always polite and service is great from her! She goes above and beyond always, perfect for a Friday night pint after work!”

“Wow. Fantastic food and they made every effort to get us a table for food. 3 of us had the chicken kebab which was excellent, and pizza. Definitely won't leave it so long before we return. Highly recommended Merry Christmas Thank you”

“A regular spot when i visit from winchester. Good beer, a great set of welcoming locals, lovely staff. Always good conversations to be had.”

“Jen, Amy and Jack the front staff were excellent and very friendly. Took time out to talk to people, and their friendly nature was excellent. Paul and Jade the chefs made great food and in great time. We have been here many times before and would always recommend this prior to any train journey. They are a great asset to the company .”

“Was a lovely night out! Some female bar staff very rude and have a bit of attitude but rest of staff was pleasant! Sound was great as well whoever does the sound for live bands is great! Need to hire him for a few of my gigs I do.”

“Lovely traditional themed pub in the heart of Doncaster Great entertainment daytime live music Heart of the community”

“This is by far the best ever Chinese me and my husband have ever had, it's not just one thing that is outstanding here it's everything between the staff being absolutely amazing and welcoming, to the food that is just something you can't get out of your head, then the atmosphere of the place is spot on nice and open with a cozy atmosphere and finally the price well let's just say eating in or out the food is amazingly priced if you eat in it is slightly cheaper and with it being all you can eat well it's a no brainer, between all of this it all keeps me and my husband coming back.”

“Good Sunday dinner - I had beef & the boss had lamb - brought to the table by friendly front-of-house people. It's not excessive (like a carvery can be) but it's nicely presented, as much (or as little) gravy as you need and was well worth the visit.”

“Visited this afternoon for Sunday carvery since it has new been taken over by Kevin and his family! The carvery was unreal, so many different things to choose from, 4 different meats (you get nice thick cuts of meat, not just thin pieces!). The environment and staff were also great. I would definitely recommend visiting!!”

“Meet up with friends once a month and we always have a fantastic time in here. Music and the atmosphere is amazing”

“Great vibe, what a place, great food and good drinks… Staff, don’t get me started, Karen is a true asset to any establishment and always greets you with a beautiful smile. I will be back.”

“Went there on 24th May. It's now called 21. New owners, very friendly and polite. Prices are spot on. Nice place for a drink.”

“First time at this pub and I was impressed by the cleanliness of the car park, internal areas and toilets. I had the carvery which was hot and well cooked. The staff member who served me was called Sophie she was polite, friendly yet professional. Even during the meal I was asked if everything was OK. Will definitely come back.”

“Lovely food. Had the carvery, everything was fresh. Staff very friendly, will definitely be coming back.”

“Great night out family and friends”
