The Salutation

out of 1465 reviews

Why is The Salutation good for fans?

A central, station-close pub in Doncaster town centre that shows live sport on TV—handy for catching early kick-offs before heading to the Eco-Power Stadium. There’s substantial pre-match food from the pub menu and an upstairs Thai restaurant. Historically, it’s the birthplace of Doncaster Rovers and is still a popular gathering point for Rovers fans, so expect a home-leaning crowd on matchdays. Town centre to the ground is roughly a 25–30 minute walk or an easy bus/taxi hop, making The Sal a practical base pre- and post-match.

Absolutely stunning food. We tried one of the set menus and it was perfect. Couldn’t fault it, all the flavours were bang on and huge portions too. Service was wonderful with lovely staff. Thank you so much.

5 stars We visited Thai at The Sal for the first time after a long week apart, and it turned out to be the perfect reunion dinner! ❤️‍🔥 The restaurant impressed us with both flavour and atmosphere. We tried the Tom Yum and Tom Kha soups – both absolutely bursting with authentic Thai flavours and beautifully presented. 🍲✨ The wings were crispy and full of taste, with a perfect sweet chilli dipping sauce. 🍗🌶️ Everything was fresh, delicious, and served on beautifully traditional tableware. Service was warm and friendly, and the food came out promptly. 🕒 A great spot for a date night or just a comforting Thai meal – we’ll definitely be back! 🥰🍽️

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.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! The most delicious food in the world. I am coeliac and they were amazing with me and did the food separately. The service was 10/10 it was such a pleasant environment and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a lovely Thai meal. If I was to describe this meal in 2 words it would be a taste sensation!
