The Lakeside Beefeater in Doncaster

Alan our waiter was so good, very caring and knowledgeable about the food and coped with my two allergies very well! We had a delicious meal!

Good meal and the staff were working hard on a busy Saturday evening. My parents and I enjoyed our meal here and were well looked after by Steph who was polite, friendly, and most accommodating. I would recommend more vegan options to be added to the menu as something to be considered for the future. Thank you.

Steph was the server and was happy and she wished my son a happy birthday

We had a family meal this evening, there were 5 of us. Natalie was our server. She was fab! Very friendly and obliging. Thanx Natalie!

Natalie was lovely and amazing would recommend

Ordered 3 steaks and 1 gammon. All perfectly cooked as requested. Recomend the fillet steak with Biscoffi Sunday to follow. We dined on a special offer voucher so it was very reasonable Natali served us and was a great laugh yet very professional.

Very friendly staff. Natalie was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her. We were served with a smile 😊. The food was lovely. Would definitely recommend. Thank you x

Served by Natalie, friendly welcome and conscientious throughout ensuring our dining experience was up to standard.

Great meal, good food and Natalie looked after us brilliantly

What lovely service here natalie was pleasant and very informative of menu . I had seabass meal and prawn starter it was beautiful again. Can't recommend this lakeside beefeater enough . Well done to the chef quality food sent out presentation also done lovely . Thank you again for a lovely meal . Great to the company

natalie is great at customer service kept us updated and had mixed grill which was excellent

Had a quick bite and a pint from here after work

Had a dinner here. Kids friendly, provided a colouring set. Food is amazing, best Lasagna I ever had.

Once again an excellent steak cooked by Ali, can’t fault anything, Well done to Debbie and all her team.

The food was good and fair priced. The restaurant was very busy which made service slow. I visited for breakfast and dinner and was content with the food

I an a support worker for people with learning disabilities and took our two ladies to the beefeater doncaster yesterday after shopping to have a meal, we went in , there was plenty of empty tables, we were told one part was closed so to go to the other side , so we struggled around the tables as we had two wheelchairs than to be told when we got to the other side of the pub we couldn't have a table until 8 it was only 6pm so couldn't wait for 2 hours , the pub wasn't full , why let us struggle with the wheelchairs and not tell us that there was no tables until 8 when we first arrived , our ladies were very upset as they were looking forward to having their meal, I didn't find the staff very helpful, friendly or welcoming at all we just felt they didn't want us there , so won't be going back there in the future

The food is always lovely there,we go there every year when the UKMARTIALARTS Show is on at the Dome Leisure Centre.

Absolutely incredible owners! The effort they make with their customers makes every visit truly amazing! They make you feel like instant friends! Lovely delicious food, would absolutely recommend! Got yourself a new regular!

Great time from start to finish 👌

We had a fantastic evening and breakfast meal at the Beefeater when we stayed over at the Premier Inn the night before Good Friday. Kayleigh in particular was fantastic with our little one in the morning, giving her lots of smiles, chatting to her enthusiastically and even making her a balloon to play with! We were so impressed with how welcoming and friendly all the staff were and would definitely return!

Lovely staff, service and food, helps that Beefeaters always have great offers!

Very rude turned away got told to leave due to tables been booked no hospitality what so ever will never ever return and il be sure to make people aware of this places hospitality as it’s utterly disgusting how customers get treated

Brilliant service front Nat and the team , set you up for the day

Had great breakfast, Natalie was fantastic always happy and smiling.

My 1st experience in your establishment taking my sister and nieces and the last My bill was £55 for fish&chips twice and children’s meals Our food was cold and disgusting right away I told the staff a Manager called Nicky said she was so sorry one of my nieces agreed 8 said it was so embarrassing as she was frightened to say to me about her food Nicky refunded me for the price of Fish and chips but not the children’s as she said that they had eaten some but as I said the children were so upset to say anything Will never come to your establishment again and will let others know Sue Bowes

Unlimited Breakfast. Really liked all Breakfast. plenty of choice from all Breakfast stuff, tea, coffee, juice, croissants, pancakes and much more! Will visit again. Thank you

My wife has allergies, so the staff made sure that nothing would make her ill. All the staff are very friendly. Definitely come back here. (115 miles from home approximately) We would definitely recommend this place. They should be proud of their staff and the customer service. Excellent. (The Breakfast Chef makes excellent poached eggs )

Found this place for the first time on a day visit to Doncaster. The greeting was great, venue gorgeous and the staff, absolutely lovely. Especially Natali whom made sure everything was perfect.

Natali W was are server and she was very friendly with excellent customer service. The food was amazing, and Natali made the experience a pleasure.

It's your choice: Eat and drink in a Pub (go left) or eat and drink in a Restaurant (wait to be seated). I chose the "Pub Style". The staff was very friendly. The selection of drinks is great and the food was very good. Definitely a recommendation.

Got got back from a fabulous meal at the lakeside beefeater, food was excellent, 5 empty plates and the service from Natalie was amazing, she went above and beyond! Thankyou for a great experience

The food was good. However, the staff was rude at the bar and at the tables, which was really disappointing.

Great service and food as always.

Absolutely cracking steak! I visited this restaurant and was blown away. The atmosphere was spot on – a lovely, warm and inviting place, perfect for a special occasion or just a good meal out. The steak was cooked to perfection and the sides were equally delicious. The chips were proper, chunky ones, and the peppercorn sauce was spot on. They also had a decent wine list to complement the meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. The service was efficient, and we didn't have to wait long for our food. It's not the cheapest place, but you definitely get what you pay for. If you're looking for a top-notch steak, I highly recommend giving this place a go. Five stars!

We visited today for my daughters birthday. Alan B looked after us and he was amazing, nothing was too much trouble. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, they were all delicious 😋 Would definitely recommend anyone to pay a visit.

Went for lunch at Beefeater Doncaster today. My Husband ordered the Beefeater Double Stack & I had the Beef Lasagne from the Main Menu which is the full price menu not the Lunch Time menu. I have previously had the Beef Lasagne from the Lunch Time menu at £7.99 which comes with salad but no Garlic Flatbread. When my meal arrived today it was exactly the same size as the Lasagne on the Lunch Time Menu but today I paid £13.99 for the privilege and the Garlic Flatbread which I assumed would be pizza sized as I'd paid an extra £6 for this Main Meal, was the size of a small slice of pizza. My Husbands Burgers were small, the Chips tasteless and the Slaw tasted like a smartprice Supermarket Brand. At no point did anyone come and ask if everything was OK with our meal, so overall a very disappointing experience for us and we will not be returning in future.

I ordered fillet steak and Diane sauce. Very nice .not too busy.

Your usual Beefeater but great friendly staff Nice place to chill out after a hard day. Doncaster Hypnotherapy Clinic

One of the worst experiences at a beefeater I have ever had. Staying away for work and come down to eat with colleagues. Service at the bar was awful, 25 minute wait only to have a member of our party refused service due to not having ID after this being the 3rd night of staying at the adjoining hotel. Not an adequate amount of staff based on the amount of people in the restaurant. No rating for food as we left after the experience at the bar.

The menu offers a great variety, and everything we tried was delicious.

Had an all-inclusive breakfast buffet. Was amazing food fresh cooked and plenty. Help yourself, unlike some of the beefeaters. The only thing's wrong is that the food area is very compact and gets a tad busy, so queues tend to form at busy times. The kids eat free, so quite a few lose cannons charging around, they should have a section for kids and one for adults only, one of them is going to get burnt one day with hot liquid or food. So wrong. They should also include cold cuts and cheese, boiled eggs for the continental buffet, and modernise the toasters, they are so slow, no chance of having hot toast, ever. The cups need deep cleaning and they should provide proper mugs not the silly small point shaped ones, it just means people go to the machine more, causing more congestion. The staff are very nice but rushed off their feet. Need more staff, one or two to restock the food area and others to clean away used tables. Would be so much more efficient. Cut backs, I guess, and they try so hard to keep up. But over all the food is good.

Came in before the doncaster vs Swindon game for a drink the place was packed. The staff did a great job at seeing to everyone quickly and the manager was supper helpful. Great place

Food was average pub grub, fairly priced, tasty and filled us for lunch! Service from Natalie W was brilliant, couldn't do enough for us, very polite, friendly and helpful. We'll be back.

Enjoyed the food good selection and friendly staff

Great food and super service from very friendly staff.

Very busy tonight after the football but service has been great! Natalie served us tonight and has been lovely with the kids and us! Best visit we’ve had in a long time.

Natali was our waiting staff ..and great job she did...friendly and very helpful.

Stayed at the Premier Inn next to the restaurant. Excellent service in the evening and the following morning from Alan, very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly too, top marks Alan.

Me & my nephew went for all you can eat breakfast spot on & value for money. Will be going again when staying at premier inn..

A big thank you to Debbie, Allan and Natalie for making my little girl birthday extra special, the food was fantastic and excellent service⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was beautiful this evening. I’d recommend the salmon. Great value and a very tasty dish. Service was prompt and staff are friendly.

We arrived at this restaurant and was taken to a row of 2 per tables by lady with a bun on her head with glasses. I think she was the manager. I asked her if she had any better tables available as we weren't happy with it. She abruptly answered with. "no all the tables are fully booked", then walked off. A table became available at the end of this row of tables for two. We thought this may be slightly as we only have one couple next to us rather than one each side. So I asked a member of staff if we could move to it. He said he'd ask then cleared the table and went. It had been 10 minutes and nobody got back to us, so we moved to it. Then I could see the lady shaking her head at us. Then she came over to another member of staff that was near us and said 3 times to him, I'm going to have to find another table for 3 people now. Not thinking anything of it at first, but soon realised she was aiming these comments at us. 10 minutes later, she came over and told us we had to move because the table was booked out by 3 people. A table for two? So I said, can't they go where we were just sitting knowing the table wasn't actually specifcally booked for anyone really. She said no and repeatedly said the table was booked and just had an obvious attitude with me about it. I asked her if she wanted us to leave? She abruptly said no, but we need to move tables. It was obvious the table wasn't actually booked and it just how they arranged people to be seated. It was clear, that she just couldn't be bothered to change this arrangement. After her attitude demanding that we move, we left the restaurant. This is bad customer service. This was a special evening for us as it was our anniversary. We had a booking for a later date at this restaurant for a large number of people. We have now booked elsewhere.

Great food staff were amazing and so helpful.Alan B was awesome, it was so busy but always made time to help and get what we needed. 5 star not high enough a rating.

Total disappointment. I have eaten all of my meal and no check back!! Arrival fine, young lady behind the bar was polite and friendly. Then downhill! I had smothered chicken melt, was dry, very little bbq sauce. I asked for more but would be charged for it! Wife had lasagne and the dish was not even 1cm thick. Massive bowl with bit of lasagne in it. We have pictures! Food not really warm, well as warm as the salad. Written this and still no check back! I honestly don’t know what to say to be honest nearly £40.00 and wish i’d bought a pizza!

Unfortunately, my recent experience at this Beefeater was far from satisfactory. The service was extremely slow, and to make matters worse, my Baconater Burger was missing the key ingredient - bacon! When I mentioned it to a staff member, I only received a "sorry" with no offer to rectify the mistake. The lack of both speed and a proper resolution to the missing item made for a very disappointing meal. I hope this feedback is taken seriously as it significantly impacted my dining experience.

We all had steak, which was cooked right but didn't have much taste to it. I opted for salad instead of chips, the dressing was lovely, just wish there were more salad, I also ordered a side of prawns, they were nice but I did expect more than 2 for £4.99. The others ordered ribs, which they said were really good. Would go back but maybe have something else.

delicious and excellent prices for two courses

Was staying at the hotel next door, I had the delight of breakfast and dinner at the Beefeater. Great breakfast plenty of choice the staff couldn’t do enough to help - great cheery smiles considering I was having breakfast so early! The chefs were brilliant the food was tasty and well presented. Every night I ate I had plenty of choice and would highly recommend the steak sampler so good!

Top staff on n a football day as well 🙌

Nice food and very friendly staff. Debs was lovely and helped us out with getting our baby a high chair with a tray so he could feed himself. Will definitely go back the next time we go shopping at lakeside.

Great Quality, Food And Service And Nice Staff Recommended for Carvery, And Weekend Day Out!!!

My husband and I have eaten at here a few times and always have a great experience. I want to shout out to Natalie as if it wasn’t for her service, knowledge and friendly service we wouldn’t be here as much as we are. To anyone who visits lakeside beefeater please ask for Natalie, you won’t be disappointed

Debs and the team are always great. Special thanks to Nat who helped sort out little ones meal to fit his dietary needs.

Visited beefeater again today. Service and food was of usual high quality. Natalie served us and was very friendly and attentive as always. I had fish and chips and my wife had the turkey dinner and we both really enjoyed our meals. Would recommend a visit.

Great food, fab staff and hard to beat prices (especially with the abundance of vouchers they give out on socials and email). We’re regulars here and always have a good experience. Especially when Josh is our server!

Booked for Sunday lunch, the food was lovely as usual, all good quality. We were served by Natalie who was very friendly and helpful, she certainly enhanced our visit! Will definitely return.

Staff it’s amazing, food it’s very nice . 5 stars

Great dinner and fab pub! Natalie was great and really looked after us. Thank you xx

Natalie did a great job and was lovely. Great service and great food.

Natalie our waitress was very helpful and the service was great

Had a late family Christmas meal today, lovely food, great service, Natalie was really attentive and friendly

Amazing food and fabulous service by Natalie. We came here for my Mums birthday and were not disappointed. Thank you!!

Great food, fantastic service from Natalie, very welcoming! Thank you.

Natalie was amazing! 10 out of 10 for service. Nothing was too much trouble and someone you can have a laugh with which is just what you need! Will be coming again! Thanks Natalie :) from Dave & Lailahs family :)

Had a lovely family meal today, Natalie took really good care of us, food was lovely!

What a place highly recommend from arriving you are greeted with the most friendly of staff,a warm welcome and the food is to die for example breakfast always fresh always getting fresh food out all the way through amazing.

Food was really good and ,waitress was amazing!

Lovely meal for my mums birthday. Outstanding service by Natali who went the extra mile for us. Will return!

Lovely place, nice food, pleasant staff, easy parking

Great staff and very good service

Good for shopping for clothing and under cover when shopping.

Total crap over priced never again

No. Very categoric NO! A disgrace, this is what is was, I have ordered a steak which was by far the worse I've ever had. What made the matter worse is that the staff sympathised with our plight but they were saying that they are aware about the low quality but they cannot do much as they will loose their jobs. Disgrace.

Booked in for Xmas day lunch 3 o clock sitting.arrived at 2.50 table not ready people still eating from previous sitting left stood at the bar .starters and pudding were fine main course was not upto standard no condiments on table stuffing and Yorkshire pudding over cooked struggled to cut them no mash just a load of roast potatoes(don't know if they had ran out)didn't get offered our coffee's or mince pies .Don't know if we were the last to be served party of 11 disappointed.

Natalie provided amazing service, she was super attentive and extremely patient with our kids.

Hmmm, been going to beefeater Christmas lunch for years, this year was the most expensive and not the best, food not to quality or standard of previous years and service not good, previously the atmosphere from serving staff was lovely, this year it was stretched and staff appeared not to wanting to be there. The whole experience wasn’t good and would not recommend where previous years looked forward to the day…. The minced pies served at the end were cheap and tasted nasty… looked lovely but will definitely look for somewhere nicer next year or do the traditional cook at home….. saying that we still left a £15.00 tip

We decided to go out for Christmas dinner this year for the 1st time in 17 years, chose the lakeside beefeater, the xmas dinner was excellent and was very well presented, all the staff were very friendly and welcoming, will be booking again next year.

Christmas Dinner Brilliant no fault can't judge, Server Natalie very friendly and jolly.

Good Christmas dinner. I'm not big on large portions, but I would have still preferred a little more than one pig in blanket, one small stuffing ball, and one and a half slices of beef. The food was of good quality, though, not the greatest, but certainly not the worst. My wife and kids seemed happy enough but agreed that for the money it was quite basic for a Christmas dinner. Staff are lovely, friendly, and helpful. The restaurant is clean and well kept. Atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed.

Excellent Christmas dinner, great service and lovely staff. Highly recommended

Went there last Saturday afternoon had a pint in there before the tranmere match busy pub

We go here every Sunday and we love it !! The service is fab the staff are amazing and Nat makes you feel so welcome !! Would highly recommend.

Absolutely dire mixed grill. Dry as a bone, took absolutely ages to arrive. Lovely staff, overbooked for the kitchen obviously.

Natalie was excellent love service that she gave us Will definitely keep coming up here even though we come here from mansfield EXCELLENT WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYBODY !!!

I love it food was great my whole family ate it I would definitely recommend the kids igloo (I found photos on Google)

A good meal with colleagues to celebrate Christmas. Food was tasty and the service was fine. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. Main and dessert with bottomless fizzy drink for around £18. Great atmosphere because the music wasn't too loud!

Nice breakfast, book a table before u attend

Came in today for a Christmas catch up with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. Lovely, friendly staff and warm welcome. We both chose the festive turkey dinner and it was brought quickly with extra jugs of gravy. The food was delicious - obviously freshly cooked - and our dinner consisted of moist lean turkey, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing balls, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, parsnips, cabbage, peas, carrots and sprouts. Cranberry sauce was brought on request. The staff were attentive but not intrusive and very jolly. Food was so plentiful I couldn’t finish my dinner. Brought a slice of Black Forest Gateau home with me and that was lovely too. First time I’d been there and, if today is a good indicator of food and service, I’d definitely recommend and go again. Thank you for a great experience.

£21 for an 8oz fillet steak, that I get, but the rest of the plate wouldn’t have fed a child. Taste was fine.

came for food on the 11th with family, enjoyed the meal, staff was great, interacted with my little one. Special shoutout Steph, Emma ,Casie, Debbie and Alan and Leigh.
