The Old George Inn — Restaurant in Doncaster

Family campers will not be disappointed when you choose to visit this absolute gem of a venue. We arrived on the Friday and met the owners who showed us around and made us feel very welcome. We booked a camper van pitch, which comes with ample space for our huge tent and awning to be pitched alongside. Once set up, we decided to go for a meal at the restaurant on site within the bar. The decor is brilliant with a homely feel but up to date with some great artwork on every wall. Cosy seating and their friendly staff surely made the hunger for a well-earned meal grow. The menu has something for everyone. I'd give a sterling five-star review and recommendation to try the parmo sharing plater that had 4 different types of parmo's all amazing! Especially the crispy bacon and BBQ sauce, which was like a brilliant spin on the dish hunters chicken. 👌 Portion sizes are nothing to worry about here. The value for your money is amazing! Facilities on site show that the lovely couple who own the place are going able and beyond to make everyone's stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. There's a pool table, dartboard, fruit machines, and well-kept clean toilets within the bar and restaurant. Heading outside, there's a great playground with apparatus for all ages. A decent side field for a kick about with a ball or even a game of frisbee with the kids. Cabin style toilets give you the privacy to get clean and visit the loo comfortably. Within each, there is more than ample room with shower, toilet and sinks in each... there's 5 of these, so no queuing to worry about! Probably the cleanest campsite toilets I've ever used to be honest. With a number of luxury yurts on site with attached hot tubs, it's safe to say next time we come back, we will be trying that side of the experience. We went on holiday as a family of 4 and there's so much to do in the area, scenic walks along the canal are literally 5 minutes walk along the side of the campsite away. Fishing lakes are dotted everywhere in the local area. And Doncaster Zoo is only down the road around 25 minutes drive away. They have camping on site too, but when we visited the zoo, we were glad we'd chosen to stay at The Old George! Make some amazing memories like we did and book now because summer will book up quickly at a place this good! 👍 Thanks to all the staff we will see you...

I feel like this is the most important thing to mention. IT'S DOG FRIENDLY! 🐶 🥰 I just love that! ❤️

Environment; I look online to see if their was an online booking service. Booking is recommended but since there was only a phone number and email we just did a walk in which was fairly risky being a Sunday afternoon. But there was no issue seating us, plenty of spaces. 🙌🏻 I preferred the main, room put the walk-in room had an awesome chandelier, plenty of character and things to look at yet it seemed empty and cold, not as in temperature but environment. Fairly conflicting statements, I can't quite put figure out that feeling.

The Food; For this style of meal I'd much prefer to get it myself. We're fairly past covid times now in terms of regulations. I'm not sure if it's a covid thing or just how they do it. I was happy to see a good chunk of meat on my plate I was extremely happy with that and the condiment options. The yorkshire pudding was nice and crispy on the outside but a bit soggy on the inside, at first the stuff in was nice but had a constancy of almost creamy smash. Two rosties didn't seem enough. The veg that came out was mostly stuff I wouldn't have picked on a self serving carvery since I'm unfortunately not a veg lover but I do try them when I can. Everything was dry and crunchy. Even the cauliflower with cheese. I like carrots but they didn't look appetising in appearance. But I was just so happy with the meat and the dinner on my plate was okay.

After dinner my fella finished his Coors and I had my Old Mount over a game of pool which I really enjoyed. It cost slightly over £40 for x2 alcoholic drinks and x2 dinners on a Sunday afternoon.

Reading back it looks like I didn't I enjoy it, I did its a nice place and under new management, the only...

My wife and I were in the area visiting someone and were early, so visited here on the recommendation of the person we were visiting.

As they had just opened, there was no issue getting a seat (although from speaking to the owners, if you want Sunday lunch, it's best to book in by midweek at the latest if you're after a particular time slot). It seems Friday night is quiz night and is usually a very lively evening too by all accounts.

The owners got a nice roaring fire going which helped distract us from the awful weather outside. As I was driving I only had a soft drink but there seemed to be a good selection of beers at the bar, including Sharp's Doom Bar and also Wolf Rock which was a nice alternative.

My wife had a pizza with a side of chips and I had the game pie (pictured). The pie was outstanding. Puff pastry (the best on a meat pie imho), lots of chunks of game (venison, pheasant and a.n.other that I can't remember). Gravy was delicious. Chips were nicely cooled and generously salted. Despite being satisfied by the main, we decided to have dessert too. My wife had the choc brownie and I had sticky toffee pudding (no pic, it looked too good to delay eating!). Again, both were absolutely scrumptious. So much so, the sight of the puddings, and the look on our faces as we ate them, pursuaded the table next to us to get dessert too 😀

All in, including 3 soft drinks, I think we paid about £45 which I didn't think was too bad at all.

I'm not sure if we'll be back in the area again but be in no doubt, if we are, we'll call...
