The Gate House in Doncaster

Been to a few spoons in my time and the Worthingtons is always hit and miss. Gate house is a 9/10

Great place to go drinks are reasonable. Admisphere is extra good. Staff are friendly.

Was busy and slow to clear tables. Table service was quick considering how busy they were. Chicken wraps and side salad were fine.

Called in for coffee ☕️ so nice

Ordered the food via the app and our drink arrived immediately and the food was extremely quick. Good quality food, very tasty, delicious and fresh. Would recommend and will go there again.

Very nice breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful. First time there

Great meeting up with old friends. Nice pub. Friendly staff

A central location friendly atmosphere. Good selection of food. All round Good value for money.

One of the better spoons. Top beers and lagers at affordable prices

We love eating here, but the fish was a bit sparce today, more batter than fish. It hasn't put us off though

Lovely pub, very helpful and kind manager. Lovely place to sit and the food and drink was spot on. Hope this bup is staying open it's a lovely venue and quieter than the busier one but not failing from what we could see. Don't close it Tim Martin, can't believe it isn't profitable

I have always enjoyed visiting this public house but I had a very unpleasant exchange with an older member of staff on September 5th 2024, who accused me of ignoring two warnings about using the fire exit and aggressively threatened to bar me. If I did receive these two prior supposed warnings, the other members of staff who deployed them must have whispered them very quietly, from a substantial distance away as I neither saw nor heard them. I admit I had my earpods in for most of the afternoon but it wouldn't have been remotely difficult to capture my attention as they immediately received it when they wanted to discuss a different matter with me, and I had lots of light-hearted camaraderie with another member of staff. Had I known beforehand I wasn't supposed to use this side door, which was located very close to a series of tables and chairs, I would not have done so. I feel the member of staff in question may have been on something of a 'power trip', and she really put a downer on what had otherwise been a very pleasant afternoon. The term 'jobsworth' certainly seems apt. I absolutely resent the way the spoke to me, and I feel this behaviour simply cannot go unpunished. This was one of the most shocking examples of customer care I have ever encountered. I explained that I may have missed the supposed warnings because I was using my earpods but it appears she wasn't interested in listening to my reasoning despite the fact it was clearly an honest mistake, and she continued to address me as if I was something she had stepped in and as if she was the sole proprietor of the venue and I was a completely worthless individual. I have worked in many bars in the past and wouldn't dream of speaking to a customer in the manner she opted for. I am not a particularly vindictive person but perhaps a small fine or similar penalty may be the force that is needed to enhance her social and customer care skills in future, for the greater good. This was no way for a member of staff to speak to the customers who pay their wages and haven't knowingly done anything wrong. I absolutely resent being treated like some kind of criminal and am infuriated with the way she addressed me. I have therefore submitted a complaint, which I informed her about upon my departure from the venue. Many establishments have fire exits that lead out to public areas, and I had no reason to think I wasn't permitted to use this one. I have always had a good experience in this establishment and various Wetherspoons across the country but feel her condescending, patronising tone was very out of step with the generally good customer service I have always received from the brand. An apology would be greatly appreciated.

Quick friendly bar staff, atmosphere was brill & relaxed ,

Spacious Spoons in the central shopping area, 5mins walk from the station. Found service quick, friendly and efficient on my visit.

Nice choice of real ales All food was hot and perfectly cooked as we asked

Excellent value, always the cheapest pub, an you get same , probably better than other pubs. Perfect if you want to go out for a chat. Just remember your hiking boots for the toilets lol

Nice place to have a quiet drink on a Sunday afternoon

Nice food at a reasonable price

A modern Wetherspoons in the lively town of Doncaster. Good breakfast and no problem to try before you buy regarding the real ales. There was a lary customer shouting at the bar staff, but the older female bartender handled the situation well.

Excellent restaurant with great value meals and drinks

Fantastic time and food great value as was drinks.

Worst pint of Guinness I've ever had.

Stopped in for bit lunch before going to racecourse

WiFi not working on the day we visited, had to queue at the bar to order, some things on the menu unavailable.

My favorite JD Wetherspoon in Doncaster. Good Guinness 😃

Good English pub with nice food and snacks. A very large selection of beers and spirits. The atmosphere of an old pub. Big screen on euro 24

Seems like a pleasant bar. Only had a pint, but the staff were as usual very friendly and chatty.

staff very helpful and friendly

Very spacious inside, the food and drinks are cheap & good value for money. The quality of the food is good & the pub adheres and executes the policy of the food arriving in under 10 minutes

Had a great few hours with family/friends had food which was absolutely great couldn't fault it

Always use wetherspoons louth brigg scunthorpe but won't be again after asking for a origanal rum an arrogant rude member staff told me we have spiced or white when I questioned this I was met with a aggressive manner and told I won't be served .I know that because I won't return .Staff training required

The ambience is good. Good food and service. I find their men's toilet stall not clean at any time I visit.

A very good pub good atmosphere great beer shame we couldn't stay longer

A peaceful environment in Doncaster

With a few minutes to spare before the noon cut-off I put in my order for a smaller version of my usual morning favourite, the mighty vegan breakfast; two Quorn sausages, two hash browns, mushrooms, tomato, baked beans, toast and dairy free spread. Everything was hot, which makes a change as the beans and mushrooms are sometimes lukewarm. The staff were friendly and pleasant and it was nice to get a “is everything okay with your meal?” enquiry. It seems the pub is well supported by locals as I heard a couple of punters being greeted by name by the jolly members of the team, which added to the overall friendly atmosphere. Proudly displayed on the walls are framed photographs and information about the record winning Mallard and Flying Scotsman locomotives which were built at the Doncaster Works.

We have been to plenty of weather spoons,but today we called in here,as we was hungry..the food was amazing it was piping hot,fresh what ever they are doing keep going even the server's was so polite and friendly,we was table 47,,, well recommended,thank you to all the staff and chef

Standard weatherspoon, was clean and service quick

Steak and kidney pudding, chips, peas and gravy. Top notch 👍👍👍

Food, for the price and prompt service, is fine. What is so nice is that there is still an atmosphere. People go here just to go here and enjoy a drink, a laugh and being in each other's company.

RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL STAFF WHO MESS UP YOUR ORDER The overweight brown haired barmaid messed our order up and put down a cheeseburger instead of a burger. No receipt was given to my partner. The waitress with brown hair came out and refused to swap the cheeseburger. My partner went to the bar and the bar staff were very aggressive and ganged up on my partner. He had to buy another meal as they refused to refund or exchange the wrong burger. I had to speak to the manager as he came over and I said I just want the 2 other meals that we had paid for as my partner had eaten his meal. The manager was as bad as the bar staff and stuck up for them. The manager came over later and said do you know you can order from the app. I said well the issue was there was no receipt which should have been given and might use the app so the order would be correct - I said this just to get rid of him as I felt he was gloating and gaslighting us. Why should we use an app, not all of us want to pay by card for everything and it is as though he is putting the blame on us for not using the app than the staff incompetence. When my meal finally came out the burger was black and burnt. I did not complain as they don't care and won't sort the issue. A member of staff pushed open the fire doors just to get everyone out of the building for a few minutes. Apparently customers said they did this the week before. Terrible 'customer service', that is why the staff can't get a job elsewhere. Having to pay for 3 meals instead of 2 left us out of pocket. We could have gone to Brewers Fayre or Beefeater for the same price and be treated with respect and a good service. It is rough as there is a bouncer on the door in the afternoon. I won't be going back to this pub if scumbags are just going to serve you and keep your money for their mess up.

It is a great value pub in the middle of town. A good selection of food and beer.

Good quality equipment could do with a sauna would pay more if did. But still very good for the money

Any burger or meat available, only chicken and all 4 of us the day after with diarrhea...

Great customer service and food.

All was well until the bartender raised eye brows at us for ordering a vodka neat. I don't come out to have my drink choices judged. Other than that it was what you expect from a wetherspoons

It was okay, we were a big party and service was okay.

A very handy Wetherspoons right in the heart of Doncaster and it fits the standard format of 'Spoons to the letter. This one is absolutely fine and a nice spot to refill and recharge. I won't lie, we only dashed in for a quick coffee and so can't really comment on any other aspect of the pub. It was clean and tidy, the staff were friendly and we would have quite happily stopped longer. We'll certainly be back next time we're in Doncaster.

Pretty good; exactly what you'd expect really

It's Spoons, it's what you expect, bit slow with serving comparing to other spoons.

I did here this pub was closing down before Christmas but is still open a lot of people will miss it if it dose close down

I'm not a big fan of modern open plan pubs and this is one..

Best pub in Donny. Don't know why Wetherspoons has sold it. Bizarre.

Great prices on food and drink. Their were a few rowdy individuals the last time I was in. The manager did have a word with them though.

Nice little branch of the wetherspoons chain of pubs, cheap and more than cheerful, I never had food but expect it would be the same fare served by other wetherspoons ie cheap and decent enough pub grub, service was good although there were only two bar staff they were quick even though at one time they had a massive line at the bar, I never waited more than 4-5 minutes before getting served.

Shame on Wetherspoons closing this pub down. It's the only one with a decent selection of craft ciders

Bottle of Prosecco in ice bucket and pleasant meal . Great staff - friendly atmosphere

Didn't have food but Carling was excellent nice atmosphere plenty of people in eating 👌

Nothing outstanding but enjoyable

Nicely tucked away pub. Nice atmosphere and clean and tidy. The staff were prompt and polite. Drinks as you'd expect in wetherspoons were great value. Ordered on app to table, which was quick and seamless. Overall, it was a great experience.

Been to this spoons several times. Found the staff friendly and helpful. There are dart boards to play on. You ask at the bar for the darts.

Light late breakfast. Good value. This was my first visit and I used Google to locate it. Google tried sending me to two other establishments first.. both turned out not to be Wetherspoons.! So this one wasn't easy to find. But it's as good as any that I've been in. Service was excellent.

Is what it is. Cheap & cheerful. Handy for a quick bite to eat and a drink.

Great pub, lovely staff, does food & lots to drink at great prices

Was nice friendly staff not tried food but as soon as I do I'll review!

Great Spoons again as is The Red Lion. Staff very good as is the food but once again that 2 mile hike to the toilets, it wouldn't be a Spoons without that though, would it.😂👍

Typical wetherspoons. Standard fare. Staff were efficient.

Nice beer. Nice prices it’s a spoons pub so you know what to expect. Good meeting place to catch up with friends.

Stayed in Doncaster for 5 Nights between Christmas and New Year 2023/24 and used The Gate House for Breakfast 3 Mornings and always found the place very clean, staff friendly and efficient service. Would highly recommend, food was better than I'd expected as well. I was impressed by both of the Wetherspoons Bars in Doncaster.

This was one of the nicer Wetherspoons experiences I have endured. The service was fantastic and the staff were very friendly and helpful particularly one gentlemen working last Friday night who's customer service was top shelf. The drinks and food came in reasonable time and it was busy. We even got asked if our food was okay, which is rare in Wetherspoons.

Had a small breakfast, And a few pints first thing in the morning. Service was good. Food was good. And the drinks went down a treat.

A nice, if somewhat small selection of handpulled beers, a little cheaper than even the usual Wetherspoons price. A single room, large compared to many pubs although smaller than a typical 'spoons pub. Outside seating, on the pedestrianised area between the High St and Printing Office St.

A nice wetherspoons with good service from the staff.good atmosphere and spacious area all on ground level.. friendly staff and locals too.👍🤓🍺🍻

Thank you Matt from rescuing me from toilets " door lock failure " .

Bought peas for £9 and was told I couldn't have them. Then when asking for refund or my money back I was told no and I shouldn't have ordered peas. Pretty sure its illegal to just take my money... I am not very peased with the situation

Here for lunch, it is very clean for wetherspoons, service was was good as was the food /drink . Toilets clean and staff very friendly. What more do you want? I always find the northern wetherspoons cleaner and friendly.

Only popped in for a quick drink was served quickly and place was quiet as mid week

Brilliant food and fast service

Ordered on the app. Drinks arrived very quickly.

Just had a large mixed grill and a pint. Food was perfectly cooked and only waited 10 minutes. Staff are friendly too.

Did not eat here due to seeing a young male member not washing his hands after going to the toilet, we went to the red lion instead

Great beer and food. Staff outstanding.

Busy pub, friendly staff. Great prices

Lovely setting, polite and happy staff. Clean, well presented.

Shame it's closing as its a spot on place

Pub was full, considering it's slated for closure. Seems bonkers. Food lovely and priced sensibly. Staff very attentive and polite, though it was very busy. Wonderful Doom Bar ale. Old so won't make it to the other 'Spoons place so very sad.

We had a beautiful meal in clean surrounding. The Staff were attentive,helpful and courteous.

usual brilliant service, food and pricing.

#177 Wetherspoons Visit. Really nice Wetherspoons. Staff are really great. So friendly, polite and efficient. Very clean and tidy. Great prices and great location in the centre of the city centre. It's a real shame this one is ear marked for closure soon. Hopefully the locals will come and and suppose this local Wetherspoons and they'll backtrack on the closure again.

Food is good and served quickly. Staff are polite and helpful

Good food delivered in a timely manner

Cheep beer cheap food, class atmosphere

Good value for money staff excellent

Decent food at affordable prices even after the price hikes, some nice staff too

After work I popped in and had the mini brunch and a blackcurrant cordial. The app was really easy to use when ordering. The food was hot, tasty and came very quickly. Staff were very attentive even so much as calling me Sir which I thought was a bit over the top but I expect they are scored on this by senior management. Was tempted to go again the day after! There was an indecent message in the gentleman's toilet but I expect that in so many places these days.

Had a lovely breakfast there this morning. Great service and l love the fact that you get free refill on your coffee ☕ 😀

Nice staff very friendly and clean

Odd how two Spoons can be so close together with a similar space but totally different. This bar seems far friendlier. OK, maybe not as busy as the Red Lion but a lot more hospitable. Delighted to have a pint from Dorset brewery Jurassic ..Durdle Door ( a famous coastal feature) at 5%. And once again Madge got her 50p CAMRA discount.

Jordan on the bar has an incredibly snotty attitude towards customers. I will be persuing an official complaint!

Another town another sticky carpet Value for money real 🍺 ale

So much better than Red Lion!!!
