Fishlake Mill Restaurant in Doncaster

What a fantastic evening! All of my guests commented on the fabulous food and how much they enjoyed eating it. Ben, the chef ensured that everyone's needs were met including the children and those with special dietary requirements. Graham and all of the staff worked so hard to make sure that things ran smoothly. It was a very memorable occasion. Thank you very much.

It was our first visit here & it won’t be the last. Beautiful Sunday lunch, all nice & fresh. Excellent service. We would definitely recommend going.

Decided to try here after seeing the turbot dish posted by someone on Facebook. It did not disappoint! After being shown to our table by the host, my partner ordered a bottle of Beyond the River Shiraz wine. A good choice and a good start to the evening. Then being faced with a menu and specials board bursting with foods we would like to try, we eventually decided on the seafood soup and the smoked trout pate for starters. Presented beautifully and tasted delicious. For our main courses I opted for halibut and my partner had the turbot. Again presentation and taste bang on! Without a doubt we had to try the desserts. Again it was a tough decision for me, as I love desserts and like everything that was on the menus. I finally chose bread and butter pudding, and my partner profiterole. Yet again, amazing! Both the host and the chef Ben are very friendly and welcoming and we are looking forwards to returning, hopefully to try the speciality seafood evening and Sunday lunch. See you again soon!

This was our first visit and it certainly won’t be the last. We all enjoyed a first class meal and in my case the halibut was out of this world, cooked to perfection. Great service with a warm welcome, thanks to you all.

Fantastic food with attentive service. Really enjoyed our time tonight, the hosts were warm and got to meet the chef who produced some wonderful food. We will come again.

If you can get out here, get out here! Really good farm-style food, made with fresh ingredients and served in an honest and authentic Yorkshire manner. Hardworking folk, dedicated to delivering good old-fashioned hospitality, but with a modern culinary twist. Decent selection of local and international beers - although the draught ale was not available during our visit - and a good, targeted wine list. Rotating list of cocktails and specials. What more could you want as an alternative to doing the Sunday roast yourself?! Give the person who has those responsibilities in your house the day off! Stop press - they assured us that they are open at other times - a lot of other times, in fact - and that they have regular themed nights and wine-tastings. Over and out!

We have visited Fishlake Mill a few times since it has opened and have never been disappointed. The food is always amazing and there is lots of choice on the menu. We have been on evenings and for Sunday lunch and always leave feeling full and well looked after. Graham is very welcoming and takes the time to talk to customers rather than rushing through the tables. The chef Ben caters to his customers depending on diet and is happy to make changes to dishes if required. The restaurant area is lovely, spaced out tables with a view of the windmill and it’s nice to see free roaming ducks, chickens and geese in the summer.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with family and friends for my 70th birthday the food was excellent and the service was lovely and friendly all round staff going above and beyond making sure it was a memorable occasion, will definitely be back thank you so much

It was the first time we’d been here and not somewhere I’d think you’d just come across as it’s down a little country road quite hidden but that’s exactly what it is…a hidden gem! We were really welcomed by all staff who were friendly and attentive. Lovely atmosphere. Busy but a nice buzz of people enjoying themselves and their food. The food was so good. A great choice and some specials too! The Jamaican rum & coconut cake was exceptional!! A nice bit of time between courses but not too long. The chef even came out after our meal to ask if we’d enjoyed it which we certainly had. Prices are good for the level of food we thought and worked out about £75 per person for 3 courses and drinks. Lovely choice of wine and all in all a really lovely experience. Left feeling nicely full and will definitely be returning! Thank you for having us!

Chose this little place based on the reviews posted. Meeting up with old friend and could really not have chosen better. The food and service were excellent. We just happened to be there on Caribbean night and were welcomed with carib cocktail. All three courses superbly cooked and really tasted of carib home cooking. The lamb curry was very good indeed! Could not fault the service, even down to showing me the way to get back to the main roads after we learned that the side roads were flooded! Cant ask for more thatn that. Will definitely return to this gem of a restaurant

Came here on the off chance of having some food without booking, we weren’t disappointed, food was excellent all three courses couldn’t have been more perfect. Can’t wait to have Christmas lunch here!

A fantastic place to eat. Clean, relaxing atmosphere. Friendly, helpful staff. The food was fairly priced and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back

Had a beautiful Sunday lunch with family Everyone enjoyed their food Great service staff were so lovely Was a lovely relaxed atmosphere We will definitely return

The outside of the property looks like it needs some serious TLC, there are weeds coming through the stones dustbins really needed to be out of sight and generally could do with some colourful planting to match the warm welcome that we found on the inside. The host was superb, friendly, welcoming, and eager to meet expectations The front of house stuff were efficient The chef offers a very interesting menu, leaning on his Caribbean heritage ; he went above and beyond the meeting of expectations he delivered a professional and unique offering that was outstanding. Having delivered the first two courses to everyone satisfaction, we were disappointed to hear that the apple pie had sold out. The host went to speak to Benjamin the chef who came out and spoke with us. on observing the restaurant numbers would allow for him. He then offered to make fresh apple pie for the five of us that wanted it, but apologised that it would take him 15 to 20 minutes to make it from scratch. Ready, steady, Cook and Benjamin won hands down! His apple pie was absolutely delicious and this went above and beyond our expectations. We were blown away .

The food alone was excellent but what really made it was when they told us they’d run out of apple pie. My daughter had been looking forward to it, so Benjamin the chef came out and baked one fresh there and then to make her day. The staff were all happy to go above and beyond and the food was delightful. A must try!!

I really like the rustic personality of this place and the people who welcome you. It was quiet as we arrived for a late lunch, missing the earlier rush and too early for evening service. Perfect. The food was hearty, tasty and well presented. Well worth the money. Another family really wanted the apple pie special but it had sold out, when seeing 5 disappointed faces the chef offered to make some fresh, if they didn’t mind waiting. Top class service. The drinks menu, wine menu and food menus are plentiful and varied. Definitely returning soon!

We have just had the most wonderful meal at fish lake mill for our silver anniversary we got the warmest of welcomes ,A Very attentive service without being overpowering ,helpful and the food was better than any Michelin star restaurant. So thank you to the Chef and a Very fair price for such high standards. Thank you again for a great evening and looking forward to returning soon Huw and Jan Martin

We came here for the second time on Saturday lunch for a family meal and had a mix of Caribbean and more traditional meals. Once again, all the meals were outstanding, as were the far too tempting desserts! We came to Fishlakes on a recommendation, and are so pleased that we did, as both times the food and service (Kelly) have been amazing, and we have found our favourite restaurant now for when visiting family! Totally recommend!

We have just had an excellent dinner at the Fishlake Mill. It's not easy to find in the middle of a network of country lanes east of Doncaster but well worth the effort. Our seafood medley of red snapper, salmon and prawns with a sweet chilli sauce was a delight. The following bread and butter pud with summer fruits and the chocolate brownie were similarly appreciated. Setting and service excellent. We will be back.

We dined here last night for the seafood night. The food was absolutely delicious and as our daughter is coeliac the chef came out to speak with us to reassure us, which was really great. Couldn’t fault the beautiful food at all and the service was great, very friendly but not overbearing. I haven’t given it 5 stars just for a couple of reasons really. Firstly there is no ambience at all….please lower/soften the lights a tad and play music instead of having that dreadful TV on the wall. Secondly don’t clear plates away until we’ve all finished eating. Other than that, I’d highly recommend. 😀

I can't recommend this place enough. It was my first time visiting and went with a large party of 16 (adults and children of mixed ages). The restaurant was so accommodating. They don't actually have a children's menu but are happy to make things tailored...

Amazing food, a proper fine dining experience and a real hidden gem. We can’t recommend it highly enough! If they had local ale we’d give it a bonus star but it is 5 out of 5 anyway.
