Eagle & Child in Doncaster

Nice place to eat and has a good friendly atmosphere.

Excellent friendly staff ...the food was good with a good variation on the menu

Visiting friends for the weekend and they took us for a meal at this great village pub. Staff were friendly and very efficient. Food was excellent and catered for my gluten free allergy. Well done!

Never a bad experience! Staff are awesome, food is great quality.

We dropped in on spec', we'd just visited Yorkshire Wildlife Park and were looking for somewhere to eat. We were seated in the restaurant area and ordered two meals from the Specials Board and a child's meal from the menu. The food was great, good portions all round, the child's Gammon and chips would have stumped an adult. The staff were attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend and visit again if we're in the area.

Excellent as always! Lovely pub food at a good price served by lovely people!

Always amazing food & friendly sevice here at our local

Visited with friends and family on several occasions and it’s always been great. Food is very good as is the service. Very much recommend if nearby.

We were disappointed with the quality of our Sunday lunch and the service. My husband is vegetarian and asked for no meat but plenty of vegetables. My son ordered a large dinner and I ordered a small. The vegetables that arrived were not enough for three. To be honest it was a good portion for one. The gravy wasn’t sufficient and at no time did a member of staff ask if everything was ok with our meal. There was no opportunity to request more vegetables or gravy. At other venues when my husband has a no meat option he is offered a large plate with adequate vegetables and two Yorkshire puddings. It wasn’t a cheap meal and we were left feeling we didn’t get value for money.

This is an excellent pub, which is why we go out of our way to eat there when travelling to Doncaster Rovers matches. The beer is always spot on and there's plenty of choice. The food is very good, with side salads full of fresh and varied produce. Best of all, the mainly youthful staff are friendly, welcoming an very efficient. We only come once a fortnight, but they remember my grandson's faddy diet and make arrangements to cater for him without making us feel fussy. We're Camra members and would happily nominate the Eagle and Child as Pub of the Year!

Lovely food,relaxing atmosphere

Their mixed grill is to die for!

Excellent place to eat good choice menu friendly staff good selection of traditional ale s, at very reasonable prices well nice place to visit

Can't fault it, good environment. Nice and clean. Proper big horse shoe gammon. Great fresh fat homemade chips. The pint has a lovely head on it. Smoking area is decent. Book in advance. Gets busy..

Only called in for a drink with friends, no meal. The atmosphere was okay for the time of day, some were eating and the food looked good.

Great food; good range of rotating real ales; staff unfailingly fantastic. A brilliant village pub.

Great pub , and lovely food , would definitely return

Good honest freshly prepared food great value nice staff was a good recommendation from a local lady thanks £29 total large juicy steak homemade chips pees banging onion rings fresh fried mushrooms some sides and a pint coming back tomorrow night on my stopover back to London from Scotland

Food glorious food Just had a fabulous meal, great quality and quantity at a great price. Try the Homemade shortcrust pastry topped steak and ale pie. Generous quantities of meat. Very friendly and helpful staff as well.

First visit for may years very busy food was wonderful service good to say 40 mins wait for delicious meal will definitely return , steak and ale pie and chicken meal were both worth the wait staff very friendly .

We only had drinks, but the food being served to other tables looked wonderful! The pub has a lovely atmosphere, and it's great to be in a thriving local pub.

Very good friendly pub, good selection of cask beer (4 if I recall correctly), brilliant beef cob, one of best ever had. Looks like a very good beer garden too.

Had to wait at the bar for a while to get a drink but staff are lovely and the food is good pub grub all at a good price plenty of parking spaces still good

Brilliant local pub ... Good food good beer good company

Always great food and service especially the cheese cakes

Normally eat at our local pub. Were greeted and shown to our table. The menu had a great choice of home cooked meals. When the food came out it didn't let them down. Hubby had Steak & Ale pie,mash,peas and gravy. Lovely chunks of meat. I had the Chicken Tikka with chips loads of chicken,peppers and onions in with naan bread. Another friend had Gammon this filled the plate. Everything was perfect, they even came to the table and asked if we would like more drinks

Fantastic lunch .Best fish and chips ever eaten .

We went for a Sunday roast and it was excellent quick service. Reasonable price and plenty of veg. Would recommend and would go again. Servers were all so lovely.

Popped in 4 drinks. Good selection. Couple of G+T's and lagers. Very refreshing on the decking. Also 4 u sporty types. Big tv 4 footy . Thanx 😆

Gosh such huge servings!!!! Really good food and do affordable

Popular cosy traditional pub, serving good range of food at reasonable prices

Usually Very good, seems to be slipping a bit, had the over 60s meal, hardly any meat in the lasagne, chips tend to be overdone, having said that the gammon with egg and chips was great, just put a bit more mince in the lasagne and fry it on its own first, then wash any grease off, because cooking it in the sauce makes it look horrible .

Arrived at 8.10 tonight after being let down by two other venues. Definitely third time lucky. All staff very polite and helpful. Food was amazing, well worth the money. My son and I had the mixed grill. We even pretended to join in the quiz night. Fantastic little pub

Having been here a couple of times before and enjoyed a meal I was disappointed firstly with the service which was was bland to say the least, a smile and a chat costs nothing. Secondly the Sunday roast dinners that 4 of us had were poor. The Yorkshire puddings were dry and burnt, the beef was tough, the mash was lumpy, the roast potatoes were poor and the gravy was tasteless. Needless to say we won't be going back.

Had to wait an hour for food. Husband ordered super rare steak and came out medium/well. Also there was alot of tension between the staff and this could be felt.

we have had many good meals here in the last year the food was always so good until the last month. We went about four weeks ago and then again today . I had gammon on the first occasion it was so salty and uneatable when i complained they said i could have a free pudding totally disgraceful. today I was standing at the bar for ages waiting to order the two children behind the bar just ignored me and kept speaking about football to each other. I then asked if they were going to serve today which they rudely said in a minute even though they were not serving anyone else. I ordered the lamb skewers which came and it was like tying to chew elastic bands I sent it back and had it replaced with hunters chicken which was dreadful. What has happened to this place is there a new chef or using cheaper butcher meat. It has gone badly downhill and the staff have become so poor. We wont be back. I got a decent burger on the road home from Macdonalds.

I have to say what has happened ?? We have been many times to the eagle and it has been fabulous,but not this time had to wait for food parents steak was terrible chewy and not cooked as asked.Is there a new chef ? Not up to the mark at all.

The food here is consistently excellent and really good value. On my most recent visit last weekend I had prawns followed by tuna steak (which was cooked perfectly) and then lemon sponge. All delicious. The service is always warm, friendly, and attentive. I will always recommend this place to others, too.

Stopped for bite to eat all very good.

Turned up, 6 people, admittedly it was quite busy, but lots of 4 people tables they could have added chairs to (which they seemed to have managed to do to fit in a table of about 16) - simply couldn't be bothered / were being lazy and said they couldn't fit us in despite the obvious space - wouldn't come here again given the lazy, sullen and rude staff.

Very poor meal tonight. Booked a table for 6pm for a treat for my partner. Meal took 45 mins to arrive. Salmon was still raw. Chips were like crispy bits you usually find in a bag of frozen chips. My partner had finished his meal and my replacement salmon had not arrived by this time. The bar staff were very appologetic but would have been more professional if the chef had acknowledged their part in this very disappointing meal.

My two beautiful friends had made arrangements for lunch to celebrate my birthday, I had to wear a large badge with 65 on, a youngman bought the menu on a chalk board an put it on a chair close to us. I suddenly felt old but we all had a good laugh. Enjoyed lunch, great value for money and the staff were brilliant. Will dine there again.

the food burnt my mouth and i started to bleed

Called at lunch today could have booked a table in the restaurant but it was short notice. The pub was packed so we waited for 10 minutes for a table. The service and food was amazing. I had the Jamaican jerk lamb😋

A classic british pub with a great seasonal menu,. The regularly changing specials board adds a twist to the regular fare also. Sometimes consider the Kangaroo burger or rabbit pie, but usually plump for the Hunters Chicken, burger or lasagne. Can't go wrong either way + a nice selction of ales. All reasonably priced.

We were a party of 12 celebrating a family birthday. All the party enjoyed their meals, good friendly service and exceptional value.

Lovely pub to go for a meal, the food was very good . We had to wait quite a while for it but it was a very busy Saturday night. You need to book in advance for Saturdays.

Excellent food and great beers!

Went for a birthday lunch and we all had a great meal. Choice and quality is fantastic. Portion sizes are massive so plan an afternoon nap after lunch!

Highly recommend, traditional village pub, very friendly, great food

Very nice staff gorgeous food and lovely atmosphere

Came here after finding it on trip advisor as we were staying in the area. It was really busy however there was one table left in the bar area. Nice choice on the menu and all reasonably priced. Food good , staff all friendly and we enjoyed our evening.

We called for a meal as we have done so manually times usually very nice food and staff. Well, they must have been having a bad day or we were just unlucky as I stated before myself and my partner have eaten here loads of time before and never a problem or if there was it was rectified straight away. I told them my steak was overcooked, so a nice little waitress took my plate, apologised, and told me she would get it sorted out. Then she came back with my plate without my steak told me they would cook another one while I ate the rest of my meal I declined politely and asked for it all to be brought our together I got a very cold response. Then my partner asked if they could redo his meal as the steak chicken and grilled tomatoes were overdone. The next thing we new was a waiter that has been there for some time came out and asked what was wrong with our meals as to him they were perfectly done (sorry customer should know how they like there food cooked) he asked what part of the meal wasn't right and then he would refund that part, I must admit my partner was not very happy with this so I told said waiter to speak to me which he did but eas not happy with what I had told him about the meal. I said we would wait for it to be cooked again as I didn't want my money back but he refused saying there was nothing wrong with any of it. Then when he didn't get what he wanted he stormed off saying we were not worth it (great customer service guys lady behind bar said they are told to say that again way to fo guys. The waiter told rje last behind the bar my partner has spat in his face never in hos life would he have done that to anyone disgusting We eventually got our money back but £3 short I would have preferred to have my meal rectified and none of the animosity. They would of been happy and so would we. I know I will get a very curt and scathing reply judging from what they have replied to the other negative comments on here but there we go. I'm just sorry it had to come to.this as this was the first meal we have ever had a problem with.

Lovely atmosphere, gr8 food n value.

Visited this lovely venue with both family and friends recently. Warmth of welcome, quality of food and service received all get 10 out of 10.

Great pub & consistently good food. Very reasonably priced as well for the quality & quantity you get. Would definitely recommend.

Always a pleasure to eat with family who are local to you guys. Excellent service and food. 😃

They ought to be taking bookings via their Facebook page.

Had Sunday Lunch it was amazing. We returned tonight I had the Cajun chicken pasta. My partner had the blade off beef. Both was delecious. It was nice to see Trifle on the special s board. You often don’t see Trifle anymore on the sweets menu. Yet again delecious. I hope you keep doing the trifle. All the staff lovely xxx

Popped on for dinner after a full day our locally on New Year’s Day. The staff were really friendly. The lass behind the bar with dark hair was super smiley and had a laugh so was super warming on our arrival. The food was delicious, proper home cooked pub food. Kids portions had nice options too and a good size for the older kids. The steak and ale pie was amazing, so much meat in it and what I’d call a proper pie! Will definitely pop back if we are ever in the area again.

Excellent quality food and really friendly staff

What a great find! This just looks like a standard local, but the food is just amazing! The service is second to none and the quality of food for the price paid is great! Staff are helpful and there is a great selection of beers and wines. Definitely worth a visit!

Regularly go to eagle & child never fails to satisfy lovely food generous portions and fantastic value for money

Lovely meal here last Wednesday with friends, had the senior menu which I must say was plenty for us, hate wasting 0food, had the lasagne served with garlic bread , it was very tasty , well presented, great atmosphere, good service, will most certainly be back 😋

The Eagle and Child is a warm, friendly and inviting pub. We went for a Christmas lunch and we’re really spoilt. I have never tasted such tasty soup, the main was turkey with all the trimmings, dessert was warm waffle with ice cream and chocolate sauce, mine was tiramisu although there were plenty of puddings including Christmas pud available. The service was first class, no waiting to be served, the food impeccable and the staff brilliant. We will be returning !!

Love this country pub, great food, not mega expensive.

Good food, beers and friendly staff. Definitely recommend

Called in without booking and had not been before. Very friendly waitress quickly took us to a table in the small restaurant. A good menu, plenty of good choices. The food was delicious. All homemade. We had to try a pudding and the chocolate brownie was to die for ! Highly recommend and we will certainly go there again, when next in the area.

Great traditional pub, good choice of ales to choose from, meals top notch, staff very pleasant and helpful. M

Nice little pub. Food excellent and friendly staff.

My mate and I went there yesterday after the remembrance ceremony. We ordered our beers and when we went to pay the barmaid said it was free for veterans! What a wonderful gesture. Thank you so much Jason and the team.

Lovely meal with friends good service

The steak and ale pie was excelent,best i have ever eaten.

We visited on Wednesday 18/10/2023. It was our first visit but it won’t be the last. Everything was perfect, the food, presentation and the setting. The staff were excellent, although they were busy we were well looked after. I would highly recommend this place.

We stumbled across this place after a day at YWP, we arrived at 6pm on a Tuesday it was Full we managed to get the Last table sitting in the bar, we were starving hungry so just ordered the first thing on the menu - Homemade Beef & Ale pie mash & peas, it was Beautiful The staff were welcoming friendly & helpful. This was a real find

Food was very tasty and portion sizes were amazing. My 4 year old enjoyed his food just too much of it. The service was great, staff were friendly and seemed happy. The reason I gave 3 stars for atmosphere is because it is very cramped and as a disabled person it was a bit uncomfortable.

Visited for the first time and was pleasantly surprised after reading reviews on the way there. Service was good and there were plenty of staff on duty, not like a lot of other places these days. The food was great and the portion sizes very generous. We will definitely be visiting again in the near future. Only negative point if being really picky would be the glass place mats and coasters. Plates swivel about when you're trying to cut your food and coasters don't absorb drips. Oh, and a bit of background music in the restaurant wouldn't go amiss. Overall an enjoyable experience and can't wait to try some of the other dishes which we saw going out.

Wish I were there. America sucks I hate it here.

Great food great atmosphere loved it we will be back

Great place to eat. You can eat outside with loads of space or indoors. The food was very tasty and good portion size. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Great local pub. The staff are great and the ambience is so charming. Everyone knows each other. Most important this is that it's super clean. As a family we love the place. Thanks..

Didn't have food on this occasion but just drinks, always good service and staff are very friendly. Would always recommend

Nice cosy traditional local village pub, friendly an welcoming atmosphere

Had a mixed grill, I've had better to be honest and it wasn't cheap

Really enjoyed it here. It's a great menu, great service, and a nice proper pub atmosphere 👌. We'll be going back again soon.

Myself and husband called at the Eagle an Child on Saturday tea time for food .we bought drinks and sat down on a very small round table near the door , My husband went to the bar an ordered a jacket potato for myself and garlic mushrooms and a steak and kidney pudding On arrival of the mains my husband found the end of a blue glove in his food we told the staff who whisked away the food mine included as I felt physically sick they came back to the table and pushed 20 pounds and 20pence in my husband's hand we left leaving our drinks and feeling very very sick and underwhelmed. I sent a email to The Eagle and child and got no apology nothing disgusting will never return

Lovely pub with superb food, helpful and professional staff, and village atmosphere. Plenty of parking and pleasant outdoor area.

Last time we were here I gave a good review This time 3 months later .very disappointed We ordered fish & chips from special board mine was fine for a reduced price menu My wife.s fish was pertheticly small ..when asked .we complained about this .and got the "SORRY BOUT THAT " attitude ... The place was almost empty at 12.00 noon this may tell a story.

Excellent service, great food, our go to place if we go south!

Love this place and it's beer. Popped in for a drink after shopping with my lady wife, I had a couple of pints of Black Sheep and my wife had a nicely chilled white wine. A nice, well run village pub with a lovely atmosphere.

Rude bar staff for no reason I was polite and courteous must of been my face normally I have no problems here made me feel worse about myself as I already do as she was extremely rude

We called in around 2ish on Sunday afternoon on the off chance we would be able to have Sunday lunch. Although all the tables were booked we was offered seating if the bar area if we could find a seat. We was lucky that a...

Amazing food, quick and timely service. Huge carpark bit small dining area inside. Highly recommend the food

Brilliant pub friendly staff excellent food made to feel very welcome be bk soon

Lovely atmosphere, great food and very good service.

Been coming to the Eagle and Child quite often since moving back to Doncaster 7 years ago and I have never had a bad meal.

I have always liked this venue very enjoyable

Lovely place to dine, staff, service and the meals excellent,
