Delve's cafe in Doncaster

This was a lovely find. We spent the afternoon here. Coffee and cake. A stroll around the fishing lakes. Then pie potato and peas to round off. Al at really good value. We will be back!

Superb little stop off, minutes from the M18. Picturesque by the fishing pools. Nice range of food with a couple of nice surprises; from toast and full breakies to jackets and larger meals. A small range of nice cakes too. Coffee was decent. Staff were great with the kids and very friendly. Toilets very clean.

The food was lovely and the staff are very friendly. The young girl who served us chatted to everyone, including my 3 year old Grandaughter. I would definitely recommend it.

Lovely friendly staff, really nice good, good atmosphere.

Over priced to well done sausages done out nice from way used to be

Wonderful wee place. Just 3 minutes from the boring motorway services you have this beautiful Oasis. Cafe is wonderful Staff are lovely. They work hard, quickly, quietly, efficiently Food is great value for money. Very tasty. Lovely presentation. And, a great price too, very good value for money. A real gem of a cafe, we found by accident, but I'll now be a regular every time I pass on the motorway. Thank you for a great meal and experience 👍👍

LAKEVIEW CAFE as its now known as, is absolutely amazing, lovely venue. Clean, staff are very attentive. Nothing is too much trouble, even gave my daughter some lollies . Breakfast is delicious 😋

Brilliant service, food excellent in size & taste. Nice location. Thank you.

Only got a sandwich but way overpriced and the sausages looked boiled and was cut into slithers?. No Bueno

Great food, decent price, nice staff & hood atmosphere. It's a lot better since the new refurb 👍🏽

Please be careful cars are getting damaged in the car park and no camera's facing car park BE AWARE CARS GETTING DAMAGED.

Nice & airy with big glass windows. Dog friendly & they do a dog ice cream as well. Menu varied to. Was busy with the older generation even mid week as the morning went on. 🙃

Lovely friendly place great food n fab views .Highly recommend

Only popped up for a quick tea; the staff was very friendly and kind, the place smells nice and it's clean. Prices looked ok, not the lowest, not too high. You can sit by the window and look at the lakes and ducks, which is really nice.

Food was great fast service friendly staff will definitely be going again

Amazing food, lovely staff great service wonderful location

Went for a walk round the ponds and a bite to eat. The cafe is very nice with a good atmosphere and really nice staff. The milkshakes are top notch and the coffee is also very good. The early breakfast was well cooked but the roast lamb was not so good. This is a constructive criticism and not a complaint, the lamb was more like mutton and the veg had no flavour at all, the roast spuds, gravy and Yorkshire puds were very nice. We will come back again. Thanks

Very friendly staff, lovely food. Only critisim if you can call it that, is the portion size was huge. Will be returning

Lovely food , a welcome atmosphere and great service 😊

First time here today, will definitely be going again, everything was great, even the tunes they had playing 🙂👍

Lovely place to chill with a view

Amazing little cafe! We visited Boston Park Farm and found this hidden little gem on our way home. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was homely and nothing was too much trouble. We will most definitely be back for a visit. Thankyou so much.

Great place the food is lovely and the staff are very friendly and cant do enough for you .. a lovely cafe with a lovely atmosphere

Excellent meal and service. Warm and friendly atmosphere. Xxxxx

Great place with lovely people and excellent food 👌 😀

Lovely breakfast clean and inviting cafe in a gorgeous spot by the lake friendly attentive staff will definitely be back ☕️🍳

Lovely food at reasonable prices

Great dog friendly cafe, only had coffee and chips. So couldn't score really for food. Staff all seemed happy and the ONLY cafe in Thorne that takes dogs that we could find. Great view, great family place. But not so noisy it would get to you, so someone must have thought about sound proofing. Appeared extremely well run place. As a cafe for coffee I would give it 10/10 as the coffee actually arrived hot.

Good food well presented, friendly staff. Good menu selection

Really pleased to see the cafe open, and always busy with customers.

Recently reopened with new owners. A varied menu, serving breakfasts, sandwiches, and hot meals. Much improved on previous owners, decent food, very good service. Always been a nice spot so good to have good cafe running there now.

I have been to The Delves and cafe many years ago with my elderly mum. It is quite a "gem" of Thorne, and I loved the fishing ponds, the cafe was a lovely old building with great staff and food. So, I decided to take a good friend for a walk. I found out the cafe had been modernised but was temporarily closed. I will one day visit again.

Beautiful place to go just pop in and grab a bite

Permanently closed, apparently been nearly a year since it shut, shame as it was a good little spot. Still a nice place to stop for a breather, just take your own drinks.

An excellent place to come..walk round and reflect, with plenty of waterborne birds to keep you company and is a big hit with local fishermen. There's a car park..cafe & WC.

Very poor service today, sat down at 9.30, 2 meals came out at 9.55 and the other two at 10 20, rude uninterested staff almost threw the plates down and had a couldn't be bothered how long we waited attitude.In the end they didn't charge for the meals, just the drinks, I had bacon double egg cob, the bottom of the cob was drowd in oil.....won't be going again, very very disappointed, it used to be good friendly smiley service, that's not the case now....Adiós Delves.

Excellent views. First Class food ingredients used. Superb front of house staff. What a great wee find Sat next to a family going to the Grimsby Town game who had left their Halifax home, and always have breakfast at Jessica's cafe on route to the game.

We sat outside as the weather was good and inside did have a strong frying smell. We only ordered tea and cake for 2 and it took a long time to be served and then 10 minutes between the cake and drinks. There were only 3 tables with customers too. I think a half hour wait was very disappointing

The hole breakfast belongs in a urn that how burnt it was sausages jet black even the egg was hard don’t waste your money

Lovely and clean, friendly and the food was good also a great view while you are eating you can also walk around the ponds

The first time ive ever been here and oh what a joy. The Breakfast was absolutely lovely and came piping hot. The staff were very friendly and couldnt help enough. We will certainly be going again after this visit. Well recommended and nice to have a walk around the ponds after finishing it. Thanks Ladies, keep up the great work.

Can't see anything on the menu or on the walls that say they stop serving food at 11. Fisherman walks in asks if he can have food, woman knows him and says yes. I go after him and told no, I have kids with me too. We have only been once before and the service was extremely slow. Only seems to be one woman who knows how to cook and she looks stressed and annoyed. Slamming microwave door, moaning how many orders she's got. Not very welcoming. Maybe you should consider opening longer on a weekend and employing more than one staff who knows how to cook!. Very poor and very disappointing. Dont recommend.

Poor staff, had to wait an hour for a breakfast which come and wasn't warm enough. Wasn't busy on the day. Wouldn't recommend

Discussed wouldn't recommend waited near 1hour still no breakfast very dissapointed

Bacon and sausage sandwich tasted like it had been warmed up in a microwave.Very rubbery.Did not enjoy this at all

Gorgeous breakfast this morning. Completely forgot this cafe had reopened. Good food, nice clean and inviting place, friendly and efficient staff. Definitely eating here again 👌

My favourite little place at the moment. Pop in grab a beautifully made coffee and go read my book near the pond. 👍

Great breakfasts and friendly staff. Really nice to see a veggie breakfast on the menu. Definitely recommend.

Great place friendly staff and excellent food

Grea food, fabulous staff, will be going again soon, probably with a red rose for the lovely woman who runs it. Seriously I can't give enough praise to this hidden gem cafe. A great venue for a motorbike bike run out.

Was fantastic to call again, such a wonderful, great breakfast and lovely staff

Good service and all so you can fish there as its got fishing ponds

Was a good place to get a quick bite. Closed for remodeling right now

Nice place for a little walk, snacks & drinks at the cafe, great place for fishing on the lake.

Just to let everyone no who keeps turning up it's closed down for council referbisment and could be months away from opening back up

Nice quiet place to sit and relax outside while eating, not a fan of the bacon there, it's always the fatty stuff, but you get a lot so only 4 stars from me, very friendly staff too

Lovely food and very welcoming staff

Nice place for a walk and a coffee

Nice place,great sausage and egg sandwich, very friendly and a beautiful fishing lake,oh and you can buy bird food to feed the many ducks,and only 50pence.

They do a good bacon and sausage barmcake

My family and I called here on our way to visit relatives in Thorne. The cafe is a lovely location, next to a pond etc.We wanted some drinks and the prices seemed reasonable. £1.75 for Latte/Cappucino etc. Then you realise what the staff are going to do... They open a packet/sachet of powder, pour into a cup, put in some boiling water - "Voila ! There's your cappuccino!"Absolutely putrid! Tasted terrible, I couldn't finish it. But of course it would, it's out of a bleeding packet. I'm no coffee snob, but Christ On A Bike ! :<The unsmiling and unfriendly staff appeared without shame serving up such a drink. It would have been cheaper and much tastier to go a few hundred yards down the road and drink the McDonalds Coffee.If you do one thing after reading this review - Steer well clear of Delves Cafe (trades description act)

Always a good cuppa and I adore watching all the ducks !

Went for ice creams and pop with nieces and the staff were fabulous lovely food and great location well maintained beautiful setting

Always my first stop on my bike ride at 12 miles and great priced coffee ☕☕ Jules

Friendly staff clean and great home cooked food 😁next to well stocked fishing pond good parking

Friendly good old greasy spoon cafe. Good quality honest food at a good price. Pond and wildlife thrown in. Cyclist friendly.

Had the BBB 3 times while I worked in the area miss this place

Cold tough bacon, cold beans, cold egg, re-heated sausage. Friendly enough staff, but that's it.

The best breakfasts, friendliest staff!

The food is always good, been coming here for over 30 years,extensive menu, new salad bar, afternoon teas if preferred booked, great coffee!,and the burgers are bigger and better than McD's,the daily specials are great value, plenty of parking, and easy to get in with a wheelchair, and a nice place to spend while waiting for the train, we'll worth a visit.

Beautiful carps. Friendly stuff and very quiet place!

Sorry it was shut on a Friday dinner

Variety of food ,also caters for children,restroom , menus,caters for everyone.excellent prices ,go there all the time.well done delves keep up the good work!

Nice fishing venue with onside cafe

I am sick of you dirty fishermen thinking that it is ok for you to relieve yourselves in the cut through rather than go to the toilet in the cafe..you dirty dirty people. My house overlooks the fishing lake and my granddaughter saw you with your willy on full view. This has gone on long enough...it has to stoo

Been going here years fantastic food all staff are really nice and pleasant. The fishing is just as good in a match anything can be pulled out from 70lb - 130lb+ few pike in there but they have F1s common carp mirror carp roach perch skimmer bream Hyde tench and few ducks ... nice little nature place too for kids. Great family day out and for the people who like to fish then £3.50 for day ticket you can't go wrong ... also got a toilet in cafe too A*
