31 Market Place Cocktail Bar & Bistro in Doncaster

Just had a pizza in this eaterie, not just a pizza but the nearest pizza we’ve had since we visited Italy, looked and tasted just as good. The 2 staff were very attentive and polite too.

2 couples out for pizza and a few beers, I was looking forward to this after hearing good things. 4 pizzas and 2 portions of fries ordered. Now I know it is fresh cooked but 2 pizzas turned up, 10 minutes later 2 fries then 10 minutes later 2 pizzas more. By that time we had finished. It felt a little disjointed. Pizza was nice though credit where it is due but please remember we are out eating together.

Fabulous wood fired pizza. Cute venue, friendly service. There wasn’t much food on offer, it was pizza pizza or pizza but it was tasty and fresh.

Best cocktails in Bawtry, avoid the rest as they are not a patch on here. Great bar staff and the chaps behind the bar let us wait in the warm for a taxi on a wet and windy night. Top chaps and amazing boozy selection.

Booked out for my dads 70th. It has a very nice private dining space known as The Cellar with its own private bar and music. The food was good. A great selection of tasty tapas and the set menu at £20 a head is a great price. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Visited here with friends on a girls weekend away. Stumbled across this place and liked the menu so we stayed. After ordering drinks and food, drinks came fairly quickly but waited nearly an hour for our food. Food came out separately, so 2 of us nearly finished by the time the others came out with no apology. Food was lovely but not enough cheese on the raclette fries. Would have appreciated being told when we arrived that food takes a long time, we had 2 hours on the parking and got back just in time. It wasn’t busy, only 1 other table eating. Overall food excellent but service needs attention. This could be an excellent restaurant offering something a bit unique but the service let’s it down.

Visited for lunch on Sat lunchtime and it was very quiet. Ordered a platter and 2 glasses of wine and waited nearly 15 mins for the wine and 30 mins for food. Only 2 customers infront of us and 1 staff member serving. Service then continued to be slow for others who arrived. We overheard 1 gentleman asking if his food would arrive before his coffee went cold! Food was very nice when it arrived but slow service spoiled the visit.

The cocktails here are really good. We were in the upstairs part of the place which is quite small so not brill if you have a big group.

We observed the owner tidying the secret patio and whilst we originally visited an other establishment close by things did not go well so we decided to try and find this hidden gem Whilst not busy provided a comfortable ambience - ordered tapas and drinks and after a while sat outside in sunshine and when the food arrived it was fabulous so tasty and fresh Excellent service polished the whole event off So well done keep it up fantastic menus and top quality food and drink

Lovely bistro with a great selection of beers. Cheese and meat selections and crepes. Good outdoor area and dog friendly.

We visit here most weekends when we go to Bawtry, the bar has a lovely atmosphere, unlike some of the other bars in the area! Each time we visit, the staff are very friendly and attentive, and the food is always very nice! They have a great selection of cocktails, and have more than just the standard range which is nice to see!

Lovely bar with limited menu but excellent food. We had a table for 6 in the bar area and the drinks and food were excellent. This said the service was a little slow but once it arrived the food was well worth waiting for the steak was fantastic quality and very reasonably priced. My daughter and I had the sharing board which was very good value and excellent quality. You must try The cheesy fries they are amazing..We will definitely be back soon !!

Visited recently for the meat platter and had some cocktails! Amazing food and beautiful cocktails! Will definitely be returning!

Went here with a group of friends for drinks .Went to the bar and the older lady behind the bar who must have been in charge tried to serve us and she did not have a clue what she was doing it .The cocktails we ordered took 20 minutes to make for three cocktails and a beer it’s the longest I’ve waited for a drink.And to top it off she made some of our other friends drinks and when she was putting the fruit into their drinks she used her fingers.Not very professional at all .Would return if had different staff on.

My friend and I visited on a quiet Tuesday evening and it was lovely and peaceful. With it being midweek, it was very quiet and there were only 2 other people there. We both got the all-you-can-eat cheeseboards and it was absolutely delicious. I was lovely to try cheeses that I had never tried before. The bread was so tasty and the meats were lovely too. I ended up taking home a doggy bag as I couldn't eat all that was left on the table! The lady who served us was lovely and so friendly and the place overall had a calming atmosphere. I will definitely be visiting here again to try more dishes.

We stayed over in bawtry during their Christmas time market and decided to call in for a couple of cocktails. It was very busy but as a couple were just leaving we were lucky and managed to grab a seat. The bar was also busy but the cocktails were made from scratch and took time to make so we didn’t mind waiting! Not everyone had the same view tho and we witnessed people actually giving up and walking out before being served. The cocktails were all very nice, they would have been pricey but at the time we went they were all on 2for1! we did have to keep reminding the girl serving us who twice tried to charge us full price. They have a good range of gin and for the area it’s reasonably priced. We didn’t eat here but the food we saw looked absolutely delicious and if we ever returned to bawtry we would definitely return for more cocktails and a nibble.

Favourite bar in Bawtry, excellent service and even better cocktails.. All made with love and attention to detail..

great bar, great staff, great character..One of our favourite places to visit in Bawtry..Cocktails are great, and a great selection of off the wall beers and lagers.

The starters were dreadful goats cheese starter resembled cottage cheese served with sliced pickled beetroot from a jar and pickled onions cut into quarters!!!! The bread served with the other two starters was stale!! We had Fillet Steak for mains the steak was OK but served cold dauphinoise potatoes which were smothered in cheese, a blue cheese sauce, a strange mushroom ketchup and an even stranger carrot puree ( which was basically a splodge on a plate. No veg to be seen. Very disappointed.

Fantastic food. Nice touch that the menu changes daily and is hand written on a blackboard each day. Superb food presented brilliantly

We found this little Bistro. When shopping in Bawtry we sat out on the terrace to watch the world go by. I had the smoked salmon crayfish sandwich my husband had the steak n blue chees sandwich both delicious followed by a crepe with orange we shared one but I could have had a whole one really yummy. We will definitely call back the next time we are shopping in Bawtry. We recommend you pay a visit you won’t be disappointed.

Called after being dragged to Bawtry shopping and really enjoyed the place. Quiet on a Saturday afternoon so choice of outside tables. Really tasty wheat beer in a black glass. Wife said dry white wine was very good so thumbs up to this place.

Went to 31 Market place last Satuday night for both food & drink and it was fantastic! Highly recommend.

Been visiting 31 pretty much since it opened. Had the occasional meal here always a good standard, but got a really nice surprise last Saturday. We decided to go for a beer and called in saw ribeye steak on the menu and as we hadn't eaten went for it! Best steak I've had in Bawtry. Tender, perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked plus a nice pile of crispy fries and a little bowl of Greek-ish salad. There are other establishments in town which are far more expensive but I haven't had a steak there to match this one.

I've been in this Bistro several times, Breakfast and Lunch. I would suggest Mezze Platter, Breakfast Galettes! Absolutely amazing.

We visited for outdoor lunch on the first day of heat and sun of 2018 and enjoyed The Bistro platter for two which is charcuterie and cheese plus breads and crackers. Accompanied by Merlot and a lime and soda. They had just opened at midday and they still managed to serve us quickly and efficiently. Will return as it has a uniqueness which is unavailable elsewhere.

Went here yesterday ordered 2 gins £12 for both. The menu for the drinks implies that tonic included it is not as it gives a plus sign underneath each gin.

Great place to catch up with friends lunchtime or evening. We went on a Saturday lunchtime. The barman was excellent, and the espresso martini was superb. Nice little outside area, and covered.

always feel that independent is best, and this little gem of a bar/creperie is no exception. Great for a quick catch up, or an evening out, its not your standard place its perfectly eclectic and welcoming. Reminds me of so many European bars where every type of visit is encouraged, whether it be an intimate soiree, or after work drinks. The owner and staff know there stuff and are passionate about what they serve you, and to top it all its not a rip off like so many other Bawtry places.

Great vibe in this little family run bistro.

Lovely place to enjoy a glass of wine and a platter, plenty of side dishes to choose from all excellent. Good crepes very different from the usual run of the mill places to eat in the area.

Great place , great lunch , great service returning on 4th August for evening entertainment with the girls

Can't get enough of this place the platters are amazing, very reminiscent of my time in France, high end charcuterie and cheeses and the most amazing cocktails. Outdoor seating area and indoor dining with fully stocked bar.

What can I say finally a place that caters for people with meat and alcoholic desires.

After relocating to Bawtry with husbands work, this place rapidly became our favourite bar in the town. Lovely surroundings and atmosphere, great range of cocktails and drinks, friendly locals and most splendid staff! We haven't tried the food as yet but that is definitely on the agenda, watch this space!!

Lush place to have breakfast, lunch, dinner or just for a drink. I can't get enough of this place. Very relaxing environment, good music and nice staff.

Very friendly and welcoming bar staff happy to whip up any cocktail of choice. Love the fact they have a coat stand. Brilliant night got very drunk and met some lovely people! Will the bar man is a legend x

We decided to try this place today at lunchtime and we were not disappointed. The staff were helpful, kind and knowledgeable, the cocktail was among the best I've tasted and the galette was to die for, took me back to my time in France. We did not have room for dessert however I can't wait to try the sweet variety. My partner had a platter and the charcuterie was way above standard. Overall a fabulous lunch and we will certainly return.

Nipped here for a cocktail yesterday and from walking in the staff were there with a friendly face and the atmosphere felt good straight away, they didnt serve the cocktail we wanted to try however the young man behind the bar was quick to offer us a similar alternative and we had the french martini, wow it was fab. Wish i had longer to stay and try some more, i really liked it here, only advice i would say is the toilet is quite small and unisex so didnt feel too clean however this would not stop me returning, i think maybe some antiseptic toilet wipes left in there wouldnt go a miss.....

If you like well sourced local produce simply prepared and presented then this is the place for you - a very European style approach to eating with sharing or solo platters of charcuterie and cheeses well presented with breads, oils, dried fruit and nuts, pickles and olives to complement the various tastes and textures going on - a fabulous selection of produce introducing you to new suppliers and producers - like Skegness Blue - who knew - an amazing blue cheese !! Plus a knowledgable owner who can recommend great wines to pair with your selection, plus a wider menu selection of crepes that I didn't bother to look at as mesmerised by the bresaola, wild boar salami and carpaccio - all reasonably priced so you can indulge without feeling guilty, all available to take-away ! So much more than a cocktail bar - we will be back - daughter ate the wild boar takeaway in 5 mins when got home !!

My wife had a delicious lunch with work colleagues and suggested a quick drink before dinner later that day at this Bistro Bar. What a great find friendly and informed bar staff served us with cocktails and craft beers. A pleasurable experience and we will return. Great staff who should be commended for their professionalism.

Visited here 18/01/17 after my friend recommended it after previous visits.

After being here before and really enjoying sampling the variety of gins on offer, I called in on Saturday night with my friend who loves a gin. We asked for the menu and were told that we did not need the menu, they had a new gin which they were recommending. Feeling relaxed we listened to the description (which in hindsight sounded like something your granny would make a pudding out of) and agreed to try it. We were deciding which other one to try but the bartender recommended we should both have this new one, again feeling relaxed we agreed. When I asked to pay he asked us to try it first - after we had tried it he told us that the two gins were £18. Did we feel ripped off? Yes Will I go back again? No

Lovely wine, good beer, great selection of cheeses, friendly welcoming staff, look forward to going again

Went there for my sister's wedding party this week. Best laid back party ever!!!

My wife and I had a fantastic meal at The Bistro. The food was exceptional and the choice of drinks amazing. I love my beers and this had a great selection.

Had a very pleasant and relaxed lunch here with friends. Lovely platters of meats, cheeses, olives etc. Great selections of less 'off the peg' charcuterie that really set it apart.

Never fails. Great food and ambience. A relaxing place to chill out with friends eating lovely food and drinking wine

Couples night out, called for a drink, Girls had cocktails both thought they we great, explained well by the staff, I had a new to me lager, gave me a small tester to try first, excellent service, great place

Tucked away on the street corner this was a lovely spot with a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of ambience. Newly into Gin I wasn't sure which of the long list of choices I should go for, but the bar tender was very helpful. I tried a couple of her recommendations after explaining my taste preferences and enjoyed both. The sloe gin mojito was incredible! Very enjoyable evening. Thank you.

The sharing platters are really nice, visited one teatime with friends, shared a meat and cheese platter, nice casual dining. Owner really chatty and informative, friendly staff. Haven't tried cocktails yet ...but tried a few of the gins with the fever tree tonic, quality.

We've walked passed this little bistro on many occasions saying shall we, shar'nt we!! Well we finally made the choice to try it out, now mad at ourselves for not trying it sooner, great little place for fine food, fine drinks, amazing service. We had the tasting platter of meats and cheeses with a little bit of everything thrown on for £20, accompanied with a nice glass of wine (or 2 ☺), this bistro has certainly filled a big gap in Bawtry. The staff are all very passionate and proud to serve you which certainly makes a refreshing change. Can't wait to go back,

I went in here with my mum, granny and daughter. We had already had lunch so decided to go in for coffee and crepes, something different to the tea and cake we normally go for. There was only us in there, the one member of staff who was working was attentive, but not pushy! He made us our coffees whilst we painstakingly decided on which crepe to have!!

My family and I have been here four or 5 times recently and have not been disappointed.

A lovely relaxed place to eat. Been a couple of times now. Sharing platters are fab. Feels like you are on holiday sharing tapas :)) Great service and very reasonably priced for the high quality of food.

We recently visited this new bistro in Bawtry. The cocktails are nice and the cheese and meat platters are great comes with bread as much as you want. You can have butter or olive oil for your bread. The platters also have olives sun dry tomatoes feta cheese bits and walnuts. The bistro is only a small place and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Would return

We visited here on a weekday evening . We had the cheese and meat sharing taster platter and then dessert crepes . This place is amazing !! That platter was fantastic with loads of meat and cheeses and the pancakes were also great . I would highly recommend and will definitely return .

Called in for a drink and to check out the menu.
