About The Mallard, Cusworth, Doncaster
The Mallard is a neighbourhood pub on Cusworth Lane in Doncaster, with a games room and a separate function room that groups can take over for private parties and gatherings. A quieter room sits next to the main party space for when the music gets loud, and a conservatory to the side adds further room. The pub runs a regular quiz and an open mic night, and televisions are positioned throughout so sport can be followed from most seats. Food covers breakfast and a Sunday roast, with buffets laid on for booked events, and food vendors set up out front. The interior has been refurbished recently, and the outdoor area was given a facelift at the same time. Dogs are welcome. It opens daily and works on a walk-in basis, with a car park alongside and space to drop off. Card payments are accepted.

Customer Review Summary
Reasonably priced drinks anchor most accounts here, with several calling the choice good and the prices very fair, and service fast even when the place is packed. Close behind is the pub's role as a party venue: a 70th gathering that ran without fuss and a well received buffet, an anniversary night where the conservatory opened up the party space, and a birthday with a private room plus a quieter room next door when the music got loud. Also drawing repeat visits are the pub quiz, recommended to one group who came back for it, an open mic night, the games room, breakfast, and a duo meat Sunday roast. Most describe the refurbished interior and toilets as clean, though one regular grumbles about upkeep, an out of order disabled and baby change toilet and a broken loo seat left propped beside the bowl for weeks. One reviewer suggests it suits booking an event for forty, and another notes staff dancing behind the bar lifted the whole evening.

“Whent for an annerversary party organised here by a friend the staff were all lovely it was nice to see them dancing around behind the bar when the staff are having a good time it makes for a better atmosphere all round. The party space was lovely with the conservatory to the side it creates alot more space. All in all a great evening made possible by a good bar”
