Horse and Groom Armthorpe in Doncaster

Our first visit but will not be the last! We love the fact that the menu has 'old fashioned' meals like liver and onions and braised beef with proper veg, not just chips and peas. Generous portions, in fact we shared a pudding! The menu is varied and we look forward to trying other meals, the specials looked good too. Every member of staff was great and we felt really looked after. We will definitely be back!

Our local pub and regular haunt for meals, but first time we've had Sunday lunch here for a while. Better than ever. All the family loves it. Lovely pork belly on the specials. Loads of veg

Highly recommend this dog friendly pub. Food was amazing 💜

Just been for lunch with family and wow - what an amazing place! Friendly and helpful staff (on the phone booking the table and in the pub) and the most delicious food. Everything was freshly cooked and beautifully presented. We would highly recommend the steak pie, the beef stew and dumplings and the proper old school jam roly-poly and custard!

Great meals one off the special board Ham,chips & egg added another. Me Cajun chicken,chips & salad off the menu. Great food friendly bar staff.

First visit but will definitely come again. Excellent food . Meat was so tasty and just melted in the mouth! Desserts were delicious!!Very competitively priced. Great range of meals . Very welcoming landlord. Lovely waitress , Leah who served us. Visit this pub and you will not be disappointed!!👍😊

First time going deffo be back soon brill pub and food is brill

Came with a friend who had been through the week for food. When we got here at 1.20 it was very busy. The place was buzzing like traditional village pubs used to years ago. A lady served us our drinks then showed us to our pre-booked table. There was a specials board and a menu offering 3 courses for £20. We both wanted the lamb shank from the specials board but was informed they had ran out so we opted for the 3 course. We wasn't dissatisfied. We both had tempura prawn starter which was beautiful and light. We then had roast beef served with Yorkshire pudding, mash and roast potatoes and stuffing and fresh vegetables followed in a separate bowl. The meat was very juicy and tender and all the vegetables were cooked to perfection. For dessert we both choice the apple crumble and custard. All 3 courses were on point. Amazing value. All the staff were very friendly polite and worked really hard. I would definitely be returning and recommending this place. It's nice to see a village pub so busy and organised. Just how they used to be many moons ago. Thank you all for our lovely lunch.

Been there this afternoon. My wife had braised beef which was lovely. I ordered fish and chips which were absolutely disgusting. The fish if you could call it that was just batter and overdone. I left it and won't be eating there again. Still charged me full price as well

Like to go there because you can sit outside with my little dog 🐕

Great food! Home cooked and worth the wait. The steak pie is amazing and my new favourite is the thai curry .

The meals where small and I left still hungry also there is a sign saying kids play area and there isn't one dreadfull wind from patio doors leading to beer garden because the patio doors are broken never again for me this place is in a state of repair

Jessica was really pleasant, polite. The food was really nice. Overall service was great. Thanks again The Smith and Heather family x

Beautiful Sunday Lunch and desserts. All the staff was very friendly, good atmosphere, we will definitely be returning another day

My family of four was heading to our Airbnb in Yorkshire on vacation and stopped here for a late night meal. We entered to the locals watching the Euro semifinals on the bar side of the restaurant. The dining side had already closed and they had finished serving food for the day, but I spoke to the owner and he was kind enough to open the dining room and provide dinner and dessert for us. The food was excellent and they were even more accommodating by allowing my wife to order an off-the-menu burger. The owner, our waitress, and the chef were all very friendly throughout our time there. The dining room was comfortable and decorated nicely. It was truly the quintessential English pub experience!

Sat in beer garden with family & dog. Would do it again

visited for a famly meal. food was lovely, however the experience was ruined as the staff are obviously not child friendly. There was no one in and we sat in a secluded spot in the restaurant area. We had taken my 5 year olds iPad to keep him occupied while waiting to eat, for the "manager" to come over and and rudely tell us to turn it down as she could hear it.behind the bar. I could understand if there were people around us & he was running around causing havoc, but he was sat quietly watching it & my child actually suffers from hearing loss unbeknown to her! The music was rudely then turned up. The experience was ruined and I would not recommend to go with children and I will not be returning!

Good food, great atmosphere and friendly service. Good choivmc3s on the menu and more on a specials board. Highly recommend.

Great food! The beef is absolutely unreal! Would highly recommend the braised beef or steak and ale pie! 🥳

Great place, tasty food, good prices and friendly staff highly recommend. 4 of us had x2 fish and chips, braised beef and steak and ale pie all great!

Meeting friends we hadn't seen in years

We are new to Armthorpe, and my wife and I have been here now four times. The food and service are both great. There is a separate bar and restaurant. There is a nice, large beer garden, just right for these warmer evenings. Give the Horse and Groom a go, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. We aren't. Buzz & Wendy

Excellent food and service on a quiet Friday afternoon.

Our chicken burgers were bland and soggy. Served with a few fries and dollop of coleslaw. Not worth £11.00 Sorry 😔

The staff are lovely. We have had lunch here a few times and the staff remembered what my husband wanted for pudding!

Lovely meal today. We had fish, chip, mushy peas and lasagne with a chocolate fudge cake as a pudding. It’s nice to finally have some good pub grub within walking distance.

Fabulous food, wonderful staff. Visited several times now, both midweek and at weekends. Travel from near Louth as a half way meeting point with family. Now visit as a couple as the Hour and a half journey is worth it. Their Sunday lunches are especially good, and midweek signature special, braised beef is amazing. Please don’t change anything, you can’t improve on perfection!!!

We went in for Sunday lunch on 7/4/24. You can tell the food is freshly cooked. We had roast beef and homemade steak pie followed by homemade lemon cheesecake and chocolate fudge cake. The staff were friendly and attentive. I will definitely be returning

Absolutely shocking food, used to be really good. Waited at least an hour for food to come out, the fish in the fish and chips dish was unbelievable thin and dry extremely unappetising, lasagne dry, chips were cold on several plates. Thick skin on gravy. I respect we in a cost of living crisis and costs have to be cut somewhere but this was diabolical, won’t be returning for food, shame because it used to be a really good pub.

Great food , friendly staff. Not much more I can say but will definitely return.

Travelled from near Louth as a tester to meet up with family half way who live near Manchester. Wonderful meal, helpful staff who could not do enough for us. First time we have ever given ten out of ten for food. Thank you so much, we will be regular visitors.

Always friendly and decent food

Lovely meal with fast service and reasonably priced.

Best pub Sunday lunch I've had in years.

Booked on speck for my dad’s Birthday as he lives in a home in Doncaster. We had Sunday lunch and it was like sitting down to a home cooked lunch. One of the best I have had. Dad who is 93 ate the lot. We would definitely call in again if in the area. Friendly staff and great food. Well done

Had to wait over an hour for starters to arrive only to be wrong.... no rush to go back... wasn't as though it was busy...

Over the past few years many fine pubs have gone to the wall. Sadly this unwelcoming, dingy whole wasn't one of them. Unless you're desperate for an experience right out of a 1980s dystopian drama then you'd be better off going thirsty As for the response below, for which replies are turned off. 0.125ml of the flavour (which you don't sell) in 500ml of purchased beverage.... please do the maths , this makes the legal ABV of the resulting beverage a soft drink and indeed below the alcohol free beers available

Lovely food but on the day we were there service was very slow

Very friendly & the food was excellent

The food was plentiful and homemade. I had lasagne, side salad and garlic bread, which was really nice. Most dishes were accompanied by chips and typical pub grub at very reasonable prices . The room was cold and wasn't very busy so this let the atmosphere down

Really good value. Good old pub grub. Would recommend.

Went down last minute tonight, our own fault that when we got there it was quite busy. However the staff welcomed us in. Both me and my partner have to say it was one of THE BEST meals we have had here, that good we ended up halving each others burger and sharing. 100% the rodeo burger and the ultimate roast sandwich. Well done to Ado, chef and the team. Definitely will be back 😊

Just had Christmas dinner here and was very nice 👍 will definitely be coming again next year 5*

Christmas day dinner £72 each. 2 hours between courses Main course poor Tried to cater for two many covers Usually excellent value, not this time

The food was great to say Christmas eve. Food was limited came out hot and great. Bar staff were busy and waitress worked hard to get food out.

Held our annual Xmas gathering here for four 'old farts' and were not disappointed. What the venue lacked in Xmas atmosphere (Tuesday 19th December) quite empty? was more than compensated with the quality of the food.

Great staff & atmosphere plus the food is delicious 🤤

Visited 13 December with friends and dined from the Christmas Fayre menu. Great value for money, started with Pate, Turkey dinner with all the trimmings (couldn't finish it!) finishing off with Christmas pudd. Great value for money would highly recommend.

We went here by mistake if I'm honest, we thought it was one of the chain pubs we'd visited a month or so earlier just down the road. I'm glad we gave it a chance! When we went in, we found it was almost empty in the dining area, which was good for us as we'd tried a few other places nearby and they were all packed. But I did wonder if this may be a bad sign? (It wasn't). The staff were immediately welcoming and the menu had a good choice of food available - all cooked to order, and the service from the staff was excellent. We had a really good meal here and will no doubt be back when we are in the area next.

Brilliant had a great afternoon watching the racing and the pizza was the best thing I had ever.

The menu is not what is on web site not real good menu more expensive and the food was very medium my partner enjoyed his fish and chips which was not bad price my wrap was no good I had 1 chicken goujon lettuce so no flavour how ever the lady how served us was so lovely but web menu miss leading I though I was going to a grill restaurant it was empty aswell

Poor atmosphere, pub was quite dark and dreary, called in for drinks only

Great food, really friendly staff

Staff very pleasent and food good.

Just pulled off the M18 to eat anywhere , was pleasenly suprised Great tasty Sunday lunch 😋 Thanks

Sat outside with a pint of phesentry ale. Was very nice.

The food was lovely, we went on a Sunday lunch quite early so it was quiet and it was the first time we've been so can't comment on the atmosphere. The young girls were lovely and very professional. Would definitely recommend.

We popped into the Horse 🏇 and Groom for a few after work pints, Thursday evening. We were welcomed and able to set up a tab, which was really helpful. A few pints and some nibbles (chicken wings) and a Chicken kebab 🍢 and we were on our way. Friendly service, clean pub 🍻 decent ale and a good selection on tap. It got busier around 18:00 in the food seating area. We enjoyed it and will be back soon 😁 Thanks for hosting us 🚀🍻💪🤩

Went there for the braised beef with mash on a tuesday night. Food was top-notch, Guinness was great, service was superb. The atmosphere in this traditional pub was as brill as always. Still love the Horse & Groom!!!

First time trying the Yorkshire pudding wrap. Oh my god it was more than I thought loads of meat and roasted potatoes in and a bowl of vegetables and gravy this was worth the money. 5 stars for the wrap. This time I had the home made treacle sponge pudding lovely big piece shame about the custard just a little pour over the pudding. With not alot of custard the pudding was very dry. Sorry only 3 stars for the pudding.

Just had Sunday lunch here The food was really good and the service was excellent Would highly recommend a visit

Just came in for refreshments but we could not resist the nachos with pulled pork after seeing them , absolutely beautiful and value for money , service fantastic, my son was a very happy boy

Lovely old fashion pub and friendly staff meal are on the high side but really nice

It's my local, love the place and the staff. . But had a bad meal there last time. ... but went for a lunch and really great again. Sat in the garden, hot lunchtime.... ... fish goujon ciabatta was really lovely and large haha. Washed down with a pint of Madri what more do you need.

Really expensive. But nice vegi option

We went for a 80th birthday party, we were informed to order from the internet,there menu,so we ordered the rump steak £12.95 and when we got there, they have stopped doing the rump they only do serlion and that is the old menu. Why don't companies update menu's. The serlion was £20.95 then I ordered 2 scoops of ice-cream for dessert it came out the size of scoops was melon ball size they charged me £4 95 plus noticed our drinks.were different prices. I'm sorry but won't be going there again for a meal

I would highly recommend this little gem , staff very friendly and the food was beautiful , cannot fault . We will definitely be returning in the future

Wonderful local pub, Very welcoming & helpful staff.

Absolutely spot on Ado and Katie fantastic hosts, food lovely....highly recommended ,great atmosphere.....dog friendly so wife fitted in..lol

Everything was perfect all food came out hot and together.

Food was excellent but it took too long to arrive. Everyone else had eaten there's before mine was brought to the table. Really enjoyed it once it arrived. 👍

Best braised beef dinner. Good value and never disappoints.

Lovely place, service was very friendly and efficient, braised steak is fantastic!!!

Lovely food and pleasant staff will definitely be going again

Called in for dinner on the 7th of June 23 the food was amazing and the staff was very friendly

Amazing service and incredible food . 4 of us in total, everything arrived together, got and delicious

9 family members went for my mum's 88th birthday for a meal. The food, service and everything was just absolutely fantastic. We will definitely be returning again. Thanks very much.

Lovely meal our pary had the braised beef, cajun chicken burger and sweet chilli wrap. Lovely home cooked chips, mash was really good. Service was excellent the lady was really helpful and smiley.

Fabulous meal had the steak pie with gorgeous homemade chips and mushy peas. The Thai curry also looked amazing. Highly recommend.

Great, homely pub food, good choice, very reasonably priced, staff lovely and very efficient

Lovely pub. Had Sunday dinner was very good value and everything fresh and had amazing homemade rhubarb crumble. Definitely visit again and will recommend to friends & family

Eaten here for years but meal tonight was very disappointing on portion size. The food was tasty, but very small portions. Cajun chicken salad had at best 4 very small pieces of chicken. Salmon salad, again, very small pieces. But even the salad was very small. More like a starter. Hopefully this is a one off.

Wonderful lunch.Absolutely lovely three course dinner, prawn cocktail, sunday roast beef dinner. then lovely cheesecake dessert..All served excellently, the roast beef melted in my mouth and was piping hot. Fresh vegetables were cooked perfectly. The staff were very attentive and asked if we needed more...

was in here last night braised beef was outstanding, lovely home cooked food, friendly staff, an great atmosphere.

To pricey for what you want 8oz rib eye for 20 quid not worth it won't be going back

Steak pie is a must! Enough said 🙃

Nice little quaint pub, local to my house. Enjoy coming in for the food which was amazing. Lovely staff always friendly and welcoming.

Just returned from Sunday lunch and we're very disappointed. The staff were very good, the food was excellent but the portions were EXTREMELY small. We did mention this to the waitress who said she'd had similar complaints! At £10.95 for a half a plate of...

Lovely little place good food good vibes

Amazing home cooked food and excellent service. We will be coming back again soon

Lovely home cooked food, offering weekly specials and regular menu updates. Good choice of lagers, beers, wines and soft drinks. Friendly atmosphere and staff 😊

Everything was fine until it got new owners. Children running around gone 9pm and on a Sunday lunchtime hoards of travelers with feral offspring make it a most unpleasant experience.

Nice meal, pleasant staff, will go again.

Hosted our family event. Fantastic service.

First impressions were good. The staff were welcoming and the decor and ambience good. The problem here was the food. We both had the sunday lunch. I chose roast beef, husband had turkey. The plate didn't look appetising and everything other than the carrots was...

Just a note to the moaners on here , this pub is a village pub that has been taken over by younger management who are trying to improve everything against the odds , the food is excellent but sometimes you have to be prepared to...

Fantastic food and superb service. The pub had two good quality ales on and an extensive menu. I went for the Cajun chicken kebabs which were excellent. Top value and an enjoyable visit. I'd definitely recommend.

As a family, myself and 11 other members (+1 child) were looking forward to our Christmas dinner at this establishment. Unfortunately it wasn’t long before we realised the mistake we had made. Where we were sat, was clearly the end of the line when it...
