This refurbished pub is situated in a prominent position at the top of one of Doncaster’s main streets. The refurb included the reinstatement of cask ale for the first time in many years. The pub used to be a mainstay of the Doncaster real ale scene and Good Beer Guide. It was famous for brewing it’s own beer at a time when such things were very rare. The first thing the new owners did was reinstate the original beer, as a result Stocks ‘Old Horizontal’ and 'Select' are available again for the first time in over twenty years.

The pub has been internally divided. It now has a totally separate sound proofed function room.

The front is very much a normal pub with the six hand pumps taking pride of place. It has Sky and BT Sports with the sound on only for major events.

There is a large very popular patio area at the back.

Six real ales on hand-pull including Stocks Old Horizontal which is brewed by Welbeck Abbey to the original recipe. Stocks Old Horizontal is a strong dark beer and Stocks Select is a traditional bitter.. These together with up to four guest ales. Pizza's are available all opening hours. Background rock music is played when no major sporting events are being shown on the TVs. May close at 11pm if no customers are in but never before. Can get very busy between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday's. Current winner of the Doncaster Camra branch City Pub of the Year.
