Another amazing night of food, drink and entertainment served up by the Sal team. IMHO the best pub in Donny, and the food is consistently fantastic and authentic. Highly recommended. My local.

This review is for the Thai restaurant business situated above the salutation pub and does not refer to the pub itself at the same address, which is a very nice pub. The food was tasty but the portion size was a total joke. My partner and I both chose chicken Pad Thai. That is the smallest Pad Thai I have ever seen. Don’t waste your money. Restauranteurs who serve portions of this size are insulting the intelligence of the general public and don’t deserve to be in business. We went for take away elsewhere afterwards.

Cracking pub. Friendly bar staff. Happy to chat about the beers but not pushy! Great atmosphere. Good for a big night out or a quiet pint!

Really nice pub which I’ve visited with friends and family for a good few years. I stayed away for a good while as it’s started to get crazily busy too often and was often full of groups of people, some intent on trouble and going as a couple you’d feel walk you were walking on eggshells waiting for something to kick off. However I decided for the first time this year to give it another try. Thankfully the trouble I was put off by seems to be behind them. I’ve been twice in the last few weeks with my wife as part of both our wedding anniversary and my birthday and the pub was very welcoming. The staff were great, the atmosphere was nice and friendly. The pub really is nice, the selection of drinks is good, the food is nice and reasonably priced. The pub also has an excellent outdoor area. I don’t know the reasons for the positive change but long may it continue as I’d like to enjoy some afternoons here once the football season starts. Ladies toilets are being refurbished my wife pointed out. So another positive. As a guy, the men’s toilets are probably in need of an expansion given how big and busy the pub can get. So as a point to improve that would be it. I’d definitely recommend a visit here for both drinks and food.

Great find in Doncaster. Really lovely staff to to greet you on arrival. Excellent advice on what to choose. Really lovely tempura. Delicious mains of Penang Curry and Pad Thai. Would recommend a visit if you are in Donny and like Thai food.

Poor take on Thai food. The starters were all deep fried and tastless. All four different main courses were over spiced and tasted the same.

We are new to Doncaster and this place was the first we were recommended to go too. We went in with family to watch the football on a Sunday, despite how busy it was we were served really quickly and the prices were really not bad at all! Certainly with prices going up everywhere, we didn’t feel like we were breaking the bank! Again to say it was so busy we felt really safe and comfortable and it was lovely and warm. We didn’t sit outside but had a nosey at the beer garden, and wow, what a hidden gem that is. Bet it’s amazing in Summer. We kept seeing people ordering food, how cool is it that they have a Thai restaurant up stairs?! It all looked amazing, we’re a big foody family so we will certainly be back to book in the restaurant! Heard it’s the ‘Best Pub in Donny’ and it definitely doesn’t disappoint! 10/10 !!

I use this place regularly, mainly as a local but it also has a restaurant upstairs and serves delicious Thai food both in the bar and in the pub. It also boasts a large beer garden to the rear with a large undercover area furnished with a bar and large tv screens for major sport events. I often meet friends here to dine and have only ever had great food. The staff are all extremely friendly,helpful and professional.

My first Thai restaurant for years and we decided to have the buffet for 2 so we could experience the flavours of original Thai. The price slightly on the high side for food provided in my humble opinion. Service was quick, courteous and very efficient always with a smile. Starters were good. Main course lovely- varied with duck, spicy mince etc along with their sticky rice which I'm not certain of lol- prefer unsticky! We went into the bar afterwards on what seemed like a Jam night- Thursday and it had a great ambience. The real ale choice was really good and reasonably priced for a change. Will re-visit on a Thurs to see if it is as good etc- nice one

Dissapointed at the Thai. Service was good, portions small for the price. The so called Weeping Tiger barbecued beef did not taste like it had been barbecued, very small dish of sauce not enough for the meat, the Salmon was ok,Massamon Curry had nice flavour. The Sticky Rice had no flavour or seasoning what so ever. Over all we think it was expensive for what you got. Although you could not fault the service. Won't rush back.

The management here should be ashamed of the pressure they put their staff under. We booked two months ago for a group meal. Food excellent staff run ragged because management crammed a party of 20 in on top of everyone else and without more staff. We waited 90 minutes for food. No one cleared tables, asked for drinks or attended to us. We cleared our own plates and had to demand service with only a sorry from staff for whom we felt sorry. Get your act together.

4 people, chosen the £30 per head set meal looked good, when it came looked a little short, enough in each dish for 2 and a half people, so 4 big blokes it didn't feed, I would probably say enough for 2 to 3 portions in each, 2 small bowls of rice and 1 plate of pad thai noodles, poor, totally disappointed

Thai at the Salutation Pub Service was good except, everyone was addressed as 'darling' by the server who take the food orders. Did not have to wait long for our meals to arrive, around 10 minutes. The light tempura vegetables were served with mouthfuls of frying oil. The crispy belly pork were in shreds and the accompanying sauce, instead of the honey soy sauce as stated on the menu, was hoi sin sauce with a dab of chilli powder. Unfortunately, the main courses were not the usual authentic Thai. The chicken Pad Thai was extremely sweet otherwise, very bland. The beef massaman was similar to a slow cooker pulled beef. Again, it was very sweet and can hardly taste the ingredients that normally made up a massaman. Although the receipt mentioned Thai rice, it was plain long grain rice served. All in all, a very disappointing meal experience.

We travelled up to Doncaster from surrey to visit friends….it was our first time here. After being turned away in not a particularly friendly manner with our dog from another pub nearby we decided to try The Salutation ….Totally different attitude and so very welcoming! We found a table and a bowl of water for our dog was brought over without asking….the staff were so friendly and made us feel so welcome. We stayed for a drinks and snacks which were perfect. Thanks for making us welcome ….next time we are in Doncaster we will be back!!

No social distance whatsoever. Tables were crammed together and strangers were sitting too close to each other. Staff were wearing masks though. Table felt sticky on arrival and pieces of carrot stuck to menu. There was 5 of us in the party and we opted for the £22 per head banquet. Starters were lovely. Main course came and we waited for the rest of food. When queried that normally this would have cost £100 and there didn’t seem to be much there for 5 people the manageress was quite rude and said that was all there was. One member of our party picked up a plate of noodles to dish some up on his plate only to be told they weren’t for us and although he had taken a forkful off it was whisked away to be served to another diner, so one less dish already. The waitress got a telling off in front of us for serving us this in the first place. One of the dishes was a whole small portion of fish in a batter which only one portion was served to us. The other dishes, chicken, beef and duck were in small dishes too. The manageress grudgingly offered us a dish of beef saying she wouldn’t do this this next time. We told her there won’t be a next time. If we had paid the full amount we would have been more annoyed. The food itself is really nice but the service and amount leaves a lot to be desired.

Had heard good reviews of this venue. Expected more. Took advantage of the "Eat out to help out" scheme and so the cost of the meal was reduced and thankfully so as wouldn't have been good value had we paid full price. The food was reasonable but have had far better. All starters are of The "deep fried" variety apart from soup option. This really is not authentic Thai as i have seen so many healthier options in other restaurants. The pad thai was tasty but the extra £4 charged for only 3 king prawns was extortionate (price compared to cost of vegetable pad thai). What shocked me and caused me to feel quite uncomfortable and unsafe was the lack of comformity to Covid safety regulations. The place was utter chaos. Groups of people werecbeing allowed to congregate at the bar meaning that those announcing their arrival to staff had no option but to join those at the bar. Social distancing was certainly not a focus. The face mask of one member of female staff (the manager perhaps?) Spent more time dangling from her chin than it did on her face. i witnesssed her without it whilst standing over customers with the payment card machine on several occasions. I also noticed that as one table was vacated this was not cleaned but food remnants removed simply by the waiter brushing the table using his bare hands to scoop up the debris before being occupied by other diners. The tables were too close together in some areas of the restaurant to conform to social distancing requirements. Clearly profit is the focus rather than staff/customer safety. I was glad to leave

On second visit I tried the Thai restaurant upstairs. The menu looked great but unfortunately the food did not match this. Everything clearly made for the ‘English’ palate and nothing authentic about anything I tried. No chilli heat in anything. I will be back here but just for the beer.

The food was great but really let down by the service. Table wasn’t ready when we arrived. Didn’t get offered drinks and when we did eventually get seated (20mins late) the lady just plonked our menus on the table and walked off without any communication whatsoever. Could have been so much better and “being really busy” is not an excuse for poor manners and service.

Popped in on a very busy Saturday night to try the Thai restaurant which is above the bar area. This is the first time I have been in here, passed it lots of times. Had a drink in the bar first which was really nice and a great atmosphere. We then went upstairs to the Thai restaurant. Four of us orders the set menu, £20 per head, which consisted of mixed starters and then mains were rice, curries and pad Thai noodles. Plenty to eat and lovely flavours. We then finished with a nice coffee. We all had a drink with out meal and it came to £100, which I think is about right for what we got. They do a lunch menu which I will come back to try. You can also order normal pub fayre downstairs in the bar. Will definitely be back.

Popped in for lunch while working the area. Two of us just ordered some basic stuff, soup, chips etc. Waited over half an hour before chasing up and being told it was on it's way. After another 15 minutes, some turned up but part of the meal didn't. After another wait the rest came out, no apology or anything.Very disappointing as it was pretty quiet in the bar, so no idea what took so long. Had to rush down as much as we could and get back to work.

In a one night stop in Doncaster there was abundant choice in restaurants but we fancied thai. Located on top of a nice local pub this thai and particularly the staff gives you a warm welcome and great food. Traditional dishes with a chef's signature are conveniently recommended by the staff so choices are easy. Normally I would highlight the main dish but I'm this case I would emphasise the deserts. not often did I have such delicious deserts; DO TRY THE COCONUT ICECREAM!

Our Hotel did not provide an evening meal food so we strolled down the road looking for somewhere to eat. The Pub looked good and it said that they did Thai food so we went in. We entered an excellent old fashioned Pub with a sign pointing us upstairs for the food. When we arrived upstairs we were amazed at what we found, nothing downstairs prepared us for the superb venue that we had found. We enjoyed the food and venue so much that we immediately booked a table for the next night! A proper Pub with good choice of ales and an excellent restaurant with superb food.

The pub itself is excellent with a great range of beers and spirits and a more grown up clientele however little known is the Thai restaurant directly above it owned by the same folk that own and run the Salutation. My wife and I went last night for meal and I have to say it was great food at a very reasonable price with friendly welcoming staff. Ton and the crew are great hosts and I'd advise anyone visiting or living in Doncaster that likes Thai food to pay this little gem a visit.

I ordered the table for two at this restaurant in advance. I just don't understand why no one told me you that there is a limited time for the supper there. The waiter took our order. We ordered a lot of food and bottle of vine, expecting to spend at least 2.5-3 hours there enjoying our starters, main courses and another bottle of vine. Again, no one said anything about limited time for the supper before ordering 2-nd bottle of vine. After 1.5 hours waiter requested us to move to the bar and suggested to finish our drinks there. We haven’t finished our main courses yet! We have just started eating main courses! I replied that we don't intend to move anywhere and would like to finish our meal here. After consulting with manager the waiter allowed us to finish our supper. BUT!!! Every 5 minutes she has been coming to ask if we finished eating or not! Eventually, we moved to the bar and finished our drinks there.

Having heard good reports about the food it was with happy anticipation I arrived last night. It has been a while since I have eaten Thai food and it is one of my favourites. I absolutely love Tom Yum Gai so it was my first choice to be followed by Penang curry and a papaya salad. Unfortunately, they brought out the wrong soup and when we pointed it out they tried to say that it is made with coconut milk. Thinking that maybe I had made a mistake we looked at the menu and pointed out the one we ordered and were still told that it's normal to have coconut milk in it. After a couple of minutes they agreed to take it away and bring the correct one. I almost wish they hadn't, what was brought back was a bland broth totally lacking in flavour or chilli heat. I asked for some chillis, lime and fish sauce so I could try to salvage it myself. Instead, it was again taken away but this time the same bowls were returned just with some chopped chillis thrown in.

Went home and ate a sandwich. Never again

How is this not ranked higher? Is Doncaster full of better restaurants? I don't think so. This is a really good Thai restaurant above a bit of a dive of a pub. The menu has a few well known dishes and a few oddities. First time I've see lamb shank in a Thai and it was good.

Ok, a Thai restaurant above an old pub. The pub is good. The restaurant is good. Doncaster is a graveyard for proper, non-chain restaurants, and it’s great to see this one thrive. Lots of people eating, a friendly atmosphere, tasty food, keep up the good work

Sunday 30 Sept and early table at 630pm for 4. Only one other couple in when we arrived but quite a few more when we left. Staff were lovely and the food likewise. Set meal at £20 a head selected, the starters arrived on a round dish with the expected sculpted carrot in the centre and some shredded salad around. Six types of appetiser, all very tasty and alongside three different dips. Not a scrap left. Four mains, the spiciest less than Madras and the rest simply lovely. These were accompanied by sticky rice and pad thai noodles and again, nothing left. Four adults filled to the gunnels and no fault was found. The NZ Savvy B was up to the mark and the draft Singha likewise. No hesitation in going ack (except we live 130 miles away!!!)

Been to the pub on a few occasions and love it as decent pint every time. It's a pub end of story and that is so refreshing in these days of Sky TV and electronic pumped beer.

It is nice pub with great atmosphere and delicious Thai food. The prices are ok. You can eat lunch for two and have 2 beers or coke for less than 20 pounds.

Been here a few times now on business trips to the area and what a lovely place to find. The entire atmosphere says 'welcome'. Just outside the city centre - which is probably a good thing!

After having holidays in Thailand and other South East Asia for the last 16 years, I always found it difficult to find a decent quality Thai restaurant in South Yorkshire apart from Sheffield. Now we have one in Doncaster and it is excellent. The same owners had the Thai restaurant on Copley Road which was also good. Authentic Thai Cuisine, friendly staff and good quality all round. Cannot recommend the Salutation more.

Decided to try here with my group of friends, on arrival you enter via the pub downstairs, the pub has been there a lot of years but massively needs some money investing in it, it looks dull, worn and outdated. However the saving grace was the service and presentation of the drinks ordered.

Been a dozen times or so, never been let down. Food is superb and service is fast and friendly. The prices of the Thai menu are very reasonable too. The bar prices aren’t the cheapest for Doncaster is the only downside for me. The choice of drinks though is excellent, being a gin drinker - there is a large and varied selection. Would recommend to anyone for a night out.

The service was efficient and very friendly. The food was superb and the general atmosphere was terrific. This was a second visit, some months from the first one and if anything it has become even better.

Nice modern surroundings with a good selection of gins at the bar served in large gin glasses with fruit garnishes. Food is excellent quality every time I have been and the service and prices are good. The set meals are also excellent and really reasonably priced and well worth the money - always food left over there is so much! Thoroughly recommend!

Have visited the pub several times over the years but last night was the first time we'd had a meal in the Thai restaurant above it. The food was excellent and reasonably priced, the staff were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable and the restaurant itself was pleasantly decorated with a relaxed atmosphere. It's very popular so pre-booking is advised, especially at weekends. After your meal you can go back downstairs and have a drink in the pub itself or, weather permitting, in the lovely beer garden at the back. Would recommend both the restaurant and the pub!

Delighted to find this Thai restaurant above the Salutation pub. It was busy even on a Tuesday night and I'm not surprised. Charming staff, good service, interesting menu, very tasty food - one of the best Thai meals I have had - and reasonable prices (soup, main course with rice and beer £18). Very pleasant decor and atmosphere. Highly recommended but access is only by a flight of stairs.

Tried Thai at the Sal with a friend following a week of Thai craving. We hadn't been to the restaurant before but had heard good things and I was pleased to find that Doncaster once again had a Thai restaurant following the sad closure of Bangkok Royal Elephant years ago.

Just been to The Sal for a Thai meal and we will most definitely be going back! Fast and friendly service and THE most fantastic food. We had the set menu so we could try lots of different dishes and we were not disappointed. Everything was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to go again!

Everything is overpriced and poor/average quality and I mean everything. Ales are not kept well and wines etc are bought via their sister site (Shire Stores), food isn't great but expensive and they've gone through chefs like a knife through butter ! I wasn't there but my friend was in recently when the little lad (aka Bar Manager) refused to serve 2 customers at 10.50pm, at which point another customer offered to buy them a drink only to be told by the manager that they would be barred if they bought them drinks - wow, how to treat your customers. On the hygiene front, they made a massive thing out of finally getting a 5 star rating after the recent and well documented rat issues which is fair enough. However, the gents still stinks horrendous and of course the rat issue occurred when they previously had 5 stars - so much for the ratings. Previous employees and suppliers are still owed £1000's I keep popping in but there's no sign of things getting any better

We stopped here for one night to complete a run the next morning. Restaurant This is one of the best meals we have had in a long time. Most meals we have had elsewhere recently have had poor service or low quality food. Not here! The staff were so friendly and accommodating and very attentive. The service was just right; orders taken and plates cleared at appropriate times, and just the right amount of time between courses; not rushed and didn’t take ages. We share a garlic and cheese pizza bread which was tasty, hot and fresh. I had the pulled pork Yorkshire and my husband has the sausage and mash, again nice and hot and delicious; the vegetables were cooked perfectly too not mushy and not al dente. We had Bakewell tart for pudding and it was lovely to be asked whether we wanted it cold or warm. Hotel A really smooth check in again with really helpful and lovely staff. The room was small and basic but very clean and tastefully decorated. Nice and quiet apart from the odd train going past. Mini toiletries in the bathroom. Clean and fluffy towels. Tea making facilities and biscuits. Plenty of plug sockets. Good WiFi connection too. Thank you for a lovely stay and a lovely meal.

On visiting our favourite Yorkshire Wildlife Park required a cuppa & naughty cake stop. The Latte & Tea were excellent, the Honeycomb Cheesecake was delicious 🤤 Naughty & nice. The service was fast & efficient. Excellent refreshment stop.
