Check in was a bit different, had to wait for a bartender to come. Room was very nice, very clean and very comfortable. Bat staff was good. Food staff where not very attentive and the food was ok. I had the 8os steak and it only came with a bit of mashed. Breakfast was good and the morning staff more than made up for the dinner staff.

Excellent Restaurant really good food at really good value. Only problem is it's always so busy that it can be difficult to get an empty table

Food in the pub came out very hot and fresh, a very tasty meal. The waitress in particular was lovely, she was super friendly and helpful.It does get very busy in the pub but we’ve always managed to find a table. They also have a large outdoor area too.Staying in the hotel the room was beautiful, nice decor and clean. The location is great if you’re wanting to be in the town centre, it’s close to pubs, restaurants, bars, shops and the market.

Called in here for a breakfast while working close by in Doncaster. Typical JD Wetherspoons, good food at reasonable prices. Seemed quite busy for a Friday morning but still didn't have to wait too long for food to be delivered to the table. Staff were quite friendly to say they were busy. Not much more to say, will definitely be returning again soon.

Had food in here on a Friday night and it was very good.That was the good point.The bad point was that when I came to use the disabled person's toilet it was being used by 2 women that were clearly not disabled. I am not a person that is abelist these women had drinks in both hands and were drunk. There is a sign on the door saying key behind the bar. I watched after I had been in and it was being used by anyone. That's not good.

Excellent pint and company. AJ was a particularly active barman who was fast and furious with service while remaining calm and friendly with those he served. 10/10 to that guy!

Food was really really good and was fast at being served. Drinks were delivered swiftly to the tables as well. Toilets look like something out of a Nandos. It's fairly central and close to the railway station so is a good place to come for cheap food and drink. Just your typical Wetherspoons.

We went for the breakfast muffin meal with unlimited hot drinks. Sat in front of the log burner. All for less than £4,00.Lovely.

conflicting feelings about this popular establishment. While the atmosphere and pricing make it an appealing choice for a casual hangout I had a frustrating experience.I visited The Red Lion with three friends, and unfortunately, my order seemed to vanish into thin air. Despite repeated assurances that my food was on its way, it never arrived. To add to the confusion, my order was accidentally removed because of a change made by someone else at the table. This left me hungry and disappointed, and the situation was far from ideal.This isn't the first time I've encountered issues with orders, but this incident was particularly frustrating. It's disheartening when simple mistakes lead to such inconveniences, especially when it comes to something as basic as getting a meal order right.However, The Red Lion does have its positives. The prices of bottled drinks are relatively affordable compared to many other places in the area. For those looking for a budget-friendly spot to grab a drink, it's a convenient choice.I wouldn't say go for the ambiance, while the toilets are actually stunning the main pub area isn't. You've very likely to be entertained by some punter causing a scene or police coming in after someone.
