About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
It’s on Platform 3B inside Doncaster railway station, so it’s an easy pre- or post-match stop for supporters travelling by train. Away-fans guides flag it among pubs near the station, and club guides note the Eco-Power Stadium is around 2 miles from the station with buses/taxis available—making this a convenient meet point before heading to the ground. Expect rotating cask and craft options; note there are no TV screens here, so it’s for a pint before/after rather than watching the game.

Right up there as one of the best Station pubs in the Country. Excellent choice of drinks all at very reasonable prices. Not very often when changing trains in Doncaster that we don’t visit. Only one slight criticism and that’s no Under 18s being allowed in so we have to sit outside on the platform as I usually have my 16 year old son with me. We need to see more of these kind of pubs on Station platforms!
A lovely little bar on Doncaster railway station, & I mean little. Get around 25 people standing & the place is crammed full. Around 4 tables & a few stools. But don't let that put you off. There's a bit of room outside & what else have you got to do while waiting for your train? Excellent selection of real ales for the size of the place plus a large selection of drinks from a fridge. I also saw a bit of food advertised. A definite place to visit, if only for the novelty.
Lovely little spot offering draught beer to take away to lubricate your onward journey. Good selection of beers and homemade snacks. Situated on the north end of platform 3.
Excellent selection of well kept beers and you can get a two pint bottle and cups to take away for the train 😬🍺
Great selection of beers, the staff were very helpful in recommending drinks. Great bar.
