Claims to be dog friendly, but isn't really. We booked in advance and brought a puppy with us. Quickly found that you get moved to a separate area when you have a pet. Not a problem, except that area doesn't get table service. Having to join a queue (which started outside the building) to order when you've booked ahead is very poor. Ordered roast dinners two weeks in a row, and both weeks ended up with no stuffing. We raised it the second time and ended up being brought out two cocktail sausages (?) because they ran out. So, they just thought they'd skip sending out what we paid for and see if we noticed? Although there was no table service in our section, someone was available very quickly to tell us to get our puppy down when he dared to sit up on the bench with me. In a dog friendly pub... in the dog friendly section!? The food honestly wasn't bad, but the rest of the experience was poor. Majority of staff seemed very junior, and there weren't enough of them on shift. The car park is also a mess, with cars regularly parking in the middle, blocking you in - even in spite of the subtle threats of a fine if you don't book your plate at the bar. You'd be better off at a 'non dog friendly' pub and make do with sitting outside, honestly. read more

An excellent traditional country pub located within a close proximity to the canal and river in Sprotbrough. This idylic location is host to a fine pub, with a good range of lovely food. You can either sit inside on the comfy chairs or, sit out in the courtyard. read more

this is a lovely pub in Sprotborough, in a lovely location, next to the Canal, so you can have a drink/meal after/before walking. It is pleasant inside and serves standard pub grub. There is a really nice courtyard area outside which is great in the summer and has plenty of tables, although it is disappointing that you can't see the canal from the courtyard. In the summer, they do boat trips on a Sunday from this pub to Conisborough, a couple of miles up the canal. It costs about £4-5 if I remember correctly. A really nice day out for the family can include a walk, a boat trip and a meal. Great! read more

Went on Sunday 29th May 2022, the couple who's anniversary we where celerbrating booked for 2pm, after being seated we were told that it would be a 45 min wait for the food, so we thought oh well must be freshly cooked and would be worth waiting for, big mistake, I and my sister had turkey dinner which was luke warm, 2 slices of turkey which looked like they were cut with a razor blade,the large yorkshire pudding was burnt on the bottom and i needed a saw to cut through it, 4 small carrot batons which were really soft and burnt on the bottom, 1 very large parsnip baton which due to its size was nearly raw, the roast potatoes were ok and the stuffing tasted nice, however the gravy had a weired taste and very thin also not enough of it, luckily there wasn't much food so was nearly enough, not really good value at over £13. Usually I can't fit in a pudding as I'm too full, but had plenty of room, however, wasn't paying £6.25 for one. The service was really good and wasn't about to complain as they were only young and would have been really embarassed. Will probably go again but not for food, just a nice walk and a drink. Plenty of room inside and outdoor seating and really large car park. read more

Went here for a family meal, the food was overpriced and mediocre at best. The service was so poor and slow that by the time we had finished eating and left we had gone over our parking limit and were hit with a £50 parking fine courtesy of the hidden ANPR cameras. Overall it was a very poor experience I won't be repeating. read more

went for a meal outside when restaurants were aloud to open again during the Covid restrictions, meal was lovely and service quick and efficient, unfortunately the weather changed that day and temperature dropped they weren't any outdoor heaters outside which made the experience very cold and quick even when dressed for the weather. read more

Food overpriced - went there last week and ordered - Double chicken breast -- the chicken must have had a hard life -- It was more like a very small butterfly chicken breast - related possibly to a sparrow -priced at £8.50 + Have had better meals -at the chains two for one read more

A reasonable hostelry with variable food.

A nice warm old style pub, situated right next to the canal. This is always a stopping place when i take the dogs out walking along the canal. The staff always provide fresh water for the dogs and the beer is the best in donny. Only down side of the amount of wasps in the summer. read more

Superb food, well presented, perfectly cooked. A little pricey, but it's in the high end market so it's to be expected. Very happy.

Traditional Olde-Worlde pub. Extensive outdoor eating area. Eaten there three times: a snack twice and a meal once. The service was good and the food ( snack ) good value for money. My main meal was a little cold but was told that if I'd mentioned it when it was brought to the table then the food would have been swapped. The waiter was friendly and helpful. read more

Very disappointing when compared with the Hare and Tortoise (same chain). I've tried it several times and have been disappointed by the food every time; E.g. really salty soup and often by too casual, sloppy service. E.g. sticky tables, cleaned, when requested with a dirty cloth that makes no difference whatsoever. It's a beautiful setting and a real shame. Please go up the road and learn from your colleagues! read more

For the first time in our 40+ years experience of eating out we were actually turned away from a pub/restaurant before we got anywhere near the door! After driving over 40km to lunch at this place,we approached the entrance and a man came out, said they'd "got the builders in" and they wouldn't be open for "about another hour". We got a half-hearted "sorry" as we walked away. No offer of a drink while we waited or an alternative nearby. Dreadful couldn't care less attitude. So we have no way of commenting on the food etc, and as a result of this shabby treatment we never will. If it is on a par with their customer service then we were probably lucky not to lunch there! read more
