The 30 Best Restaurants in Doncaster

“I always have my food for take away. Best Indian by miles. The service is great, can't fault anything about them. Would highly recommend”

“This restaurant was recommended and see why. The food, staff and location was wonderful. We had the 'while you waiting' snack - delicious, then starters, main course and sweet. All the food was tasty and flavoursome. I had the homemade 'pie of the day' (mushroom and ale) which was absolutely delicious and plentiful. The triple cooked chips (pinched from my wife's plate) were some of the best we have ever tasted. The menu is not extensive but after seeing what other diners had ordered as well, we noticed all the dishes had the same care and quality and represented very good value. The staff were very attentive and pleasant and we insisted on leaving a service charge as none was included. We throughly recommend this establishment.”

“A fantastic visit for a birthday celebration. Many years since last visited but the food was top notch, good service. Many thanks”

“Fantastic service and excellent food manager couldn't help us enough and he's very knowledgeable about currys and takes pride in what he does”

“I love this hotel. It’s quirky, original and fun!! It’s also impeccably maintained with spacious comfortable rooms. But it’s the staff who make it such a great place to stay, always happy to help, to provide great service and always with a smile. It’s a great team. I would however agree with one of the comments that the breakfast is overpriced. But overall I would highly recommend it.”

“Visited the Elephant and Castle in Doncaster yesterday evening for my friends hen do. I cannot recommend the place enough. The food was absolutely delicious, they boxed up what we had left for us to take away. The service was amazing, they changed the table size last minute and yet still provided us with a free bottle of Prosecco & mocktails. Evening though the restaurant was empty - due to football most likely the service did not fail us! We didn’t feel rushed to get out in the slightest. Absolutely amazing place and I for one will be sure to be returning! Big shout out for Becka, for being the best waitress and checking in on us to make sure everything was good for us! Thank you again!”

“Went today for Bottomless Brunch, Gave 4 stars for atmosphere as we was the only ones there... It was a Wednesday afternoon though. Food was great and fresh, Freya was a absolute diamond and a credit to this pub, we never went without a drink , she surprised us every time with a different cocktail. Made sure we had everything we needed .. Thankyou Freya ❤️ Will return if ever in Doncaster again”

“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”

“Absolutely beautiful flood reasonability priced and the staff are very attentive and lovely Thank you so much will be back again :)”

“Always busy. Amazing food and great staff. Highly recommended. Make sure you book.”

“What a treat! We had never heard of this place until today, we booked for 5.30 and were welcomed with the most delicious smell of meats smoking. Firstly we sampled cider to see which we wanted to drink, we chose the peach then We had the pit tray and the tapas for 1, both came out after about ten minute wait and what a treat it was! Hot Smokey Crispy meats more than you can eat. We shall be back very soon with a few extra people to show them what we have all been missing! The staff went all out for us tonight and made us feel really welcome thank you!”

“Food was absolutely delicious, service was perfect. 10/10”

“Very good quality food from an excellent salad to really good lamb, tzatziki, olives and bread. Good Greek wine (a bit pricy), very good coffee. Top class service from Elena. Highly recommended. Cash only.”

“Called into the Restaurant for a drink after a long walk around the Lake. Although the restaurant was busy the staff were attentive, polite, in Xmas spirit and the atmosphere felt festive and warm.”

“This is my 4th visit to the Premier. Always the friendliest greeting. Jill was on reception & I must say she is a credit to the Hotel, with her warm smile and welcoming conversation, nothing is too much trouble for her, also this was the 1st time i have had breakfast. We had the all you can eat continental. Porridge was lovely as was the pancakes. We were looked after by the lovely Bernie, who again couldn't have looked after us more. Another credit to the hotel. Definitely the only place I'll stay when visiting Doncaster.”

“Reserved a table for 5:30, rang at 5:30 to say we’d be late (due to traffic) & they were very understanding and completely fine with this. We arrived 15/20 minutes late and was taken straight to our table. Nathan was our server and was an absolute gem the whole time we were there. Was very accommodating and great with the kids too. Helped make my sons evening by bringing out cake and candle singing happy birthday. Food was delicious and kept on top of, nothing in short supply. As a whole, our evening was very enjoyable. Shoutout to Priscilla and Nathan for helping make our night a good one. Thankyou”

“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.”

“Called here on a Monday evening, staff are warm, friendly and helpful. Food was excellent with decent portions. Highly recommend will deffo visit again.”

“Outstanding bar! Sports, music, fruit machines and a pool table.. plenty of seating inside and out (front and back) Lovely out back when its sunny. The owner knows what he's doing here!! Excellent.”

“The reception was very polite and professional. It was a easy check and a good price. The place needs renovation but all was OK.”

“2 absolute whoppers below commenting on a place they have never stayed in based on a tv show from about a decade ago. One needs to give his own head a wobble.”

“Absolutely amazing service, I ordered a coeliac meal and the manager was unbelievably helpful showing me all the allergy menus and reassuring me throughout. I would definetly recommend.”

“If I were you I'd be very suspicious of poor reviews for this place. Have been about half a dozen times in the last year and the food is REALLY good. The buffet is exceptional for quality & choice. And I grew up in Bradford where the quality is mostly high across the board as the locals demand it. This place is up there but don't whinge about it being spicy - it's real Asian food made freshly with real spices!!!”

“Always an enjoyable takeaway meal”

“We find the food to be consistently tasty and of high quality. The delivery times are good and prices reasonable. Seems a very good local takeaway. Premises also fresh and clean after a full refurb having previously been a Chinese-owned chip shop.”

“This restaurant is a really good place to eat if you have young children. I won't ruin the surprise but I will tell you that there are events that occur whilst you eat your meal around the decor of the restaurant that will keep the kids entertained. The staff were so friendly and the food was well cooked. The prices were a little bit "Theme Parky" but that's expected given the venue its situated at. All in all a good place to eat for the experience.”

“Amazing burger the best in Doncaster first brioche bun not to disappointed fabulous.”

“Really nice food and atmosphere”

“Best falafel in town! Reasonably priced and made fresh to order.. it didn't take too long to get it. I will be back!”
