My first visit here and I was impressed. A good friendly atmosphere and good ales. Proper glasses for those who drink inside and plastic containers for those who prefer to sit outside and savor the diesel fumes.

Evening visit until 9pm close. Easy to find if you know where it is. Totally committed licensee proud of his set up. Dispenses a superbly presented gin and tonic with floating juniper berries. The late sunset streaming into the room showed off the tilework to great effect. There is a premium on half pints here for some reason.

Website.

The pub is found in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN1 1PE.

Converted waiting room, which had been unused for many years, which opened as a railway station pub in March 2017. Ran by an individual who carried out much of the conversion work himself. Really beautifully preserved tilework lovingly restored. Real ale served through 3 handpumps. There are also 5 keg taps. On the station's platform 3B.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 6 different beers and tried 4 of them.
