About Hare & Hounds Pub & Old Butchers Cafe
Tuesday brings Pie Night at the Hare & Hounds Pub & Old Butchers Cafe, a pub on Church St in Doncaster, with a choice of lamb, mince, steak or Christmas pie served with chips, garden or mushy peas and gravy. The kitchen runs across breakfast, cafe plates and pub cooking, taking in a Fodder Board, Chicken Liver Pate and a Tuna Melt among 49 dishes, with fish and chips, burgers and jacket potatoes also on the list. Beers and ciders fill the bar. Other themed nights follow, including a steak night, and food vans and Saturday pop-ups add to the schedule. Dogs are welcome, and a quiz night gives the week another fixture. The pub takes bookings for private celebrations such as baby showers, with cocktails made for the occasion. It opens Tuesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays.

Customer Review Summary
The warm, "chilled out" atmosphere and the friendliness of the bar staff draw the most comment, with several describing a homely welcome where nothing seems too much trouble. Close behind are the themed food nights: one regular details Tuesday pie night, choosing the Christmas pie with homemade chips and gravy, while another reports a steak night with steak cooked to perfection and a generous portion. Also praised are the fish and chips, a fabulous jacket potato, and the largest breakfast with toast, a pot of tea and fresh orange juice, which one group of three called well worth it. Beer, cider and drink selection come up repeatedly, along with food vans and Saturday pop ups. The clearest dissent comes from a reviewer who disputes the handmade claim, saying they watched the chef tipping chips from a bag, visible from the walk to the toilet, and found the pies bought in and the choice limited. One diner found the burger very small.

“Always go here when I visit my parents, they have a good selection of beers and ciders. Food has always been good and they have food vans on some nights too.”

“Three of us tried the breakfast here for the first time, and it was fantastic. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the quality of the food was excellent. We each had the largest breakfast, with toast, a pot of tea and a fresh orange juice. It was around £19 each, but it was well worth it. We will definitely be back again.”

“I hosted A baby shower at hare and hound, and it was nothing short of amazing! The atmosphere was incredibly warm and inviting, making it feel very homely. The staff were welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every guest felt special throughout the event. One of the highlights was the personalized baby shower cocktails, which added a unique touch to the celebration. The food was lovely, with a variety of delicious options that catered to everyone's tastes. Overall, the hare & hound exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it here for any special occasion.”
