The Flying Childers in Doncaster

We are 4 ladies who came for the festive Christmas Dinner on Wednesday 4th December and we all agreed it was very good and can definitely recommend it

We were a large party having the festive set menu. Table beautifully decorated, excellent service and the food was fab. Amazing value for money. We had a perfect evening, thanks so much to Sam, Louise and the rest of the team. Highly recommended!

A great local pub, with absolutely amazing staff. (Nicki ). The staff always make the family feel welcome. The range of food is good and tastes great, and a family full of picky kids we always leave full and happy. Easy for a family member to navigate around in her wheelchair.

Great food and service. Nicki looked after us very well. Will definitely be back.

Great food and fab service. Would definitely recommend.

Great food, service, and beautifully furnished

me and my family came round and loved the food that we ordered and the service from everyone was great - special thanks to isaac on the bar for lending us a pack of cards 👍

Nicki was a fabulous hostess and service was fabulous. Always enjoy a homely meal here with great atmosphere!

Nicki is bubbly and very helpful and as well as all staff. The food was very tasty.

Nicki has been amazing as usual, very courteous and service was great

Very good excellent service polite staff very helpful

All the staff were wonderful (especially Nicky) and the meal was lovely. Would come again in the future and recommend to a friend!

Amazing service from Keith and the team. Great pub, amazing food definitely recommend

I've been using this pub for over thirty years and it's had its ups and downs , but in recent years since it was taken over by Marston's and the current management team it has become what a good local pub should be. Good service , safe , friendly , and unforgiving of unacceptable behaviour. I recently had a meal there with my daughter , and although it was a standard gammon egg and chips , it's cooking and presentation can make a world of difference......so , the gammon was moist , the chips were freshly cooked , the eggs were runny , the peas were cooked to order , basically everything excellent. I should add too , that although its not in a great area for cask ale volumes , what is on sale is consistently in top condition. I've given my feedback to a lot of local friends who wouldn't have thought of coming here for years , but I'm now seeing them becoming frequent customers. Credit where its due.

Food is lovely staff are pleasant

Called in for a bite to eat. Excellent service, food was really good and very reasonably priced. Staff were brilliant. Cannot fault the place. Will definitely be back.

Great food, fantastic staff, nothing is ever too much trouble, highly recommended

Definitely not the best place in the area, the toilets have a smell that makes your eyes water on entering. The decor is dated and some of the customers leave a lot to be desired. Loud and unruly yet no one says anything. Staff were friendly and the food was average at best. It's also become quite expensive in here compared to other places.

Great lunchtime stop good menu good food and great service from Georgia..

Excellent waiter great food lively atmosphere and local which makes it perfect

We were looking for somewhere to celebrate a family birthday for 8 of us plus two young children, and wanted somewhere we could all drive a similar distance to, hence we found the Flying Childers. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, from booking on the phone, serving at the bar and delivering food to the table. Nothing was too much trouble. We were advised to pre order the food as we were a large group which we did. They asked if we'd like the child's meal served along with the starters (which worked out very well for a slow eater), sorted out candles on the birthday cake we had brought with us and loaned us a knife to cut the cake. The food was all served quickly, was hot and tasty and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. There was a good family atmosphere and it is clearly popular with the locals. We had a really nice relaxed meal and would like to thank all the staff for their hard work.

Great place to go for food and lots of drinks!! The staff go above and beyond!!! Callum the newbie is a good addition to the team!! Keith and Abby also make a night in the Childers

Absolute loved the food, excellent service! Scott was very welcoming and very friendly! Defo coming again 😁👍

Atmosphere and surroundings very pleasant, food was very hot and very reasonable priced

Great food at affordable prices. Great friendly atmosphere and a good selection of drinks. Staff friendly and efficient, a shout out to a new member of staff Calum who is a very pleasant young man

Warm welcome and a great place to eat and drink great value for money

Came for my son’s 7th birthday, we are a big family of 9, ordered all the food at the bar with drinks, staff were very helpful and very organised. Including drinks and food it totalled to £110 which I think is fantastic, good quality food, it was amazing, all cooked fast and correct. Will 100% be visiting this pub again. Thank you too all the staff for looking after us and making my sons birthday special!

We often attend as a family of three with a toddler for food. All the staff are very friendly, the food comes quite quickly and is tasty too.

Excellent food and excellent staff, very friendly

Fabulous staff.espcially Louise.Brilliant !Nicky and Davidx

Served by Laura excellent service

Been here on more than one occasion. The food is always delicious and reasonably priced, the service is great and always with a smile. Even stayed for the quiz which is on a Sunday evening. Fabulous atmosphere.

Went for a meal with my family, Taylor served us and was really polite, had food cooked by Pat was very good 🙂 Excellent service all round

Lovely good and great price! Keith made a birthday celebration very special and was very friendly!

Been here several times. Food tastes great and you get good value for money. The staff are also nice and friendly

Keith- absolutely wonderful, always pleasant, great service

Not been to this establishment for a while and sadly it was not a good experience, The food we had was not to a good standard.The fish we had was a grey colour inside. The steak we ordered was over cooked.And the chicken burger was really over cooked.When the server came to clear our table he asked if everything was ok and I told him the problems he never replied and just walked away which I found very rude and unprofessional.

Excellent time everytime we come. Never have a problem with food or service. Today we spoke to Louise who was very welcoming and talkative.

Keith and all the staff are always really welcoming. Remember your order and take the time to engage with everyone

Lovely service from.Taylor & Steph Lovely local pub / great atmosphere

You can't fault the team in here - Sam and Keith and the rest are just overall fab! 10/10 local!

Staff were really welcoming. Had the fish which was lovely.

Visted here at the weekend. What a great pub it is. The staff are really friendly and helpful, it was clean and tidy and a great atmosphere. The good was great, I had the mix grill, and I stuffed. We were visiting family, and we will definitely be back again the next time we are down.

i liked my ice cream from julie and andy from lainey

8 Months ago I wrote a terrific review, goodness knows whats happened now. Different staff, no one coming mid meal to see how your food is. No mustard, no fish, no fries. The fryer didn't work. I ordered a blue/ rare steak that came to me like shoe leather with rock hard dried up onion ring. The steak was so dry and salty. I hope they sort their self out soon and the Manageress starts being customer focused and friendly as before. We looked forward to coming here as a family every 10 days and felt valued.

great service , Keith is very friendly , made the atmosphere a lot better

First visit today, which was really good. Staff were lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. Chicken wings were beaut and I even got fries with it free 😋. Top notch!

Food is amazing. Service is friendly and fast. Atmosphere is welcoming. Definitely recommend.

Got told to move outside as we have a dog but website advertises as dogs welcome, dogs allowed inside. Was going for a meal but disappointed & left.

Service was good and the food was really good. Friendly staff and everything was pretty quick to come

Great service by Laura. Always a nice welcome - Marie

I enjoy the food and drinks, and always a friendly & welcoming service from the staff. A big shout out to Keith, who always gives a 5 star service. Thank you!

Special thanks to Keith for going over and above the call of service. Fab food, drinks and service all round.

Lovely food,the meal and a drink is great value for money.

Curry and an pint night on Wednesday good value

Great value, been regular for curry night and really enjoyed

Good pub for food or just watching sport, always a friendly greeting

Just sat outside in the garden at the Childers, sun shining, always a great atmosphere, Sam and the team do a great job. Food, drink, and the staff are brilliant.

Great value for money food and drink. Excellent service

Never been a problem with anything I needed

Lovely Xmas Dinner, complete with the great staff. Recommend highly.

Great pub. Sky sports, pool table, 2 dart boards and a great selection of beers. Land lady is lovely and always puts the customers first

Food so loveley didnt have time to take a photo!! Nice friendly place, great staff, was very busy and service was a little slow, but the staff was aware, and apologised constantly, we did have a table of 10 so it was to be expected! Can highly reccomend The Flying Childers!

A lovely friendly family pub with really attentive helpfully staff

Good consitant service with well cooked and presented food every time. Pleasent friendly bar staff and quick service.

A friendly community pub with great food and drink and regulars who welcome all. Bar and kitchen staff are dedicated and very good at what they do. A lovely beer garden for the summer months and a cosy, warm interior for the colder times. A pub I would recommend and proud to call my local.

Great team, Sam looks after us. Good fun and great football team

I have been coming here for years now and it’s a class pub! The staff can’t do anymore for you and the food is lovely!

As always a great place to chill out

Always a great meal and friendly team

We love this as our local. It's possibly one of the best pubs in the area. The food is pub quality with deals Monday to Thursday.

The staff are first class the food is amazing. Love quiz night. The atmosphere is great too.

OMG it is the best Hunters Chicken I’ve ever had. My husband’s kebab was outstanding too. Can’t wait until next visit! 😋Staff lovely, thank you 🙏 5**

Great evening at the quiz. It was very busy and fun 🙂

Great food and drinks! Quick service and friendly staff.

Came in today for a meal with my other half! Been coming here for years and definitely wasn’t the best service nor food! I had a chicken burger with cheese. Didn’t come out with cheese so got sent back to then receive it again with cheese on it. It was not melted so just a square! I then found a hair in my chips so I sent back to the bar and explained the issue. The lady that dealt with me, took my plate into the kitchen and said nothing so I walked away. She then came back with my meal (that I didn’t want) however I felt pressured into eating it! When received my meal back the lady said “the kitchen staff have added an extra piece of cheese” this was burnt so tasted burnt! I didn’t get offered a free drink, a free dessert nor half my money back for the meal! My other half then ate his so half of it got left!

Very nice place friendly personel and good food

Decent food, very reasonably priced. I suggest at least another one cask, hand-pulled ale. The traditional beer selection is very limited.

We had a great day out, spent time in both the lounge and the sports bar. The staff are really friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them, the drinks are also very reasonably priced. Will definitely be visiting again.

This has become a great pub under current ownership. Pool, darts and Sky Sports in the bar. Great value food menu; food is served everywhere but there is also a nice separate area in the lounge. Staff very friendly and know how to treat customers properly. Heated patio area and good pub garden to the front. Sheltered smoking area to the back (probably more of a.vaping area these days). Children are welcome with Kids' menu colouring in and games. Welcoming atmosphere and we'll worth a visit.

This was my old local when living in Bessacarr, so it was nice to return. Not a lot has changed, still good beer and the menu is also appealing.

Food was fantastic! Service from staff was great. Thank you for a lovely visit. Would definitely recommend to others!.

Had a wake here, friendly staff, preference of non alcoholic drinks limited but other than that, friendly staff, clean and respectful

This is one of the rare community pubs, where everyone is welcomed heartily. Top staff, great food, one of the best managers around.

Amazing time at the kids Christmas party, everyone was well catered for. Sam, Tanya and Laura did and amazing job, the kids were so excited highly recommend

What more could you want from a local - decent food, comfy chairs and a great quiz! Even though I've lived in the area for almost 4 years, it was the first night I've spent at Childers and couldn't recommend it more!

Just had early Christmas lunch at Flying Childers- really good food and service-treat yourself you won’t regret it!!

mel was so great when i came in, gave me recommendations of her preference of wine- which were good by the way!

Cannot fault the Staff&locals in this place. What a lovely bunch of people, will definitely be returning.

It's alright when you can get served, not enough staff.

Had the 8oz steak with the salad, was spot on, salad was tasty, steak was cooked just how I asked, just don't expect miller and Carter steak! However no where near Miller and Carter prices, the burgers are superb and the price is a winner to, guineas draught was probably the best I've had in a long time, would highly recommend 😀 dropped a star due to the lack of music in the seating area

Perfect Cosy warm ambience and friendly atmosphere. A local pub for anybody and anybody. Great for families, couples and singles. Your made to feel welcome by staff and customers. The food is Second to none. The Manager, under managers and staff can’t do enough to make your visit the best. We started coming here when the great Marsden's family pub chain took over and we are never disappointed. The staff care and the premisses is spotless too. Weve gone through the whole menu by now and everything is first class. We cant wait to book for the Christmas menu as we know we will be in for a treat plus the prices are so cheap for the quality of the food. Were always stuffed when we finish eating and wouldn't go anywhere else now as this pub is in a class of its own. Thank you to all the staff for the great service you provide at the “flying childers” Bessacarr The McCaw Family

Another great Family get together at the Local Flying Childers. Great ambiance, friendly efficient staff, warm and cosy atmosphere and superb food again. Tuesdays meal deal we had was a pint and a cowboy burger at very low prices! You cudnt get this at home for the price, and top class quality and portion size. Thank you once again to the lovely Landlady and all her friendly staff Angela

Veg burger 10/10 service 10/10 barmaid 10/10

Our local Since Marsden's took it over. Immaculate, great atmosphere, great food, warm, cosy, exquisite food and very cheap.

Flying visit at the Flying Childers. Drinks were good, people were friendly, although was an early finish for the night.

Consistently good food, very reasonably priced with lovely staff and a large beer garden. Dogs are welcome in the garden. Food only served until 8pm (not 9 like most similar establishments) so take care to ensure you order in good time as they stop taking orders at 8pm on the dot.

Great food and beer in a nice setting. Staff great. Just a great value local with really good value quality food.

Lovely food, friendly staff and great service
