A couple of minutes walk from Doncaster railway station. Behind the buff faience frontage is a lovely, small two-room pub with a well preserved interior created under plans of 1934 (displayed in the corridor). It was remodelled by the Grimsby brewers Hewitt Brothers Ltd who were Doncaster’s biggest pub owners for many years. Their legacy here is a straightforward but pleasing design of front bar, back lounge and side corridor. Apart from the modern fireplaces in both rooms and missing side panels from the serving hatch to the lounge (called a ‘music room’ on the plans), there is little to detract from the pub’s authentic 1930s character. Leaded glasswork, wall-coverings and fittings typical of the period are much in evidence, including the fixed seating with bell-pushes in the lounge and the bar counter with its horizontal banding (but modern top) and which appears to have been built larger than shown on the plans.

Old fashioned sort of pub with a pleasant atmosphere, good service and a good selection of ales and spirits.
Great little town centre old style pub, great Guinness and real ales. Regular venue for meeting old friends. Don't do food!
3 guest beers on tap and 1 bottle. 1.95 a half pint. Friendly service. There's free wifi.
Easy to see why this is a Good Beer Guide CAMRA 2023 pub. Proper town centre two room pub with an older cliental opposite the station. Madge went for Acorn Barnsley bitter as the very short lived British August Summer ended in a downburst. Really love the traditional back lounge. Madge took a pint of Acorn Barnsley bittet. Lovely. Nice place to start or finish a Doncaster pub crawl.
As it says, untouched for 80yrs +. Traditional old pub, blast from the past, gives you faith in life, i.e., some things should never change, particularly if you are a genuine pub goer. Beer well kept, served with a smile.
