About The Salutation

The Salutation is a traditional pub in Doncaster on S Parade, with a Thai restaurant on the floor above. The upstairs kitchen serves Thai dishes including beef massaman curry and Tom Yum soup, and set menus are available there. Some Thai dishes are also served in the downstairs pub, where wings come with a sweet chilli dipping sauce. The bar pours seven real ales, and football is shown on the pub's screens. Live music and a quiz night fill some evenings. Dogs are welcome in the pub.

Customer Review Summary

The Thai restaurant above the pub is what reviewers praise most, with the beef massman curry described as full of flavour and so tender the beef fell apart. Others single out the Tom Yum and Tom Kha soups, crispy wings with a sweet chilli dipping sauce, fried beef and a set menu with huge portions, all called fresh and authentic. Close behind is the pub below, with a good choice of drinks including cask beer, a lively and noisy Saturday night with live music, and a quiz night that gets really busy. Staff are repeatedly called welcoming, friendly and quick. Reviewers raise a few smaller drawbacks. The decor is a little dated, the men's toilets may need expanding given how busy the pub gets, and the Thai menu has no pictures, which made choosing a bit of a gamble for one diner unfamiliar with the cuisine. Another first-time Thai diner had the waitress recommend a meal that turned out great.

    “Salutation is everything you’d expect from a traditional English pub—lively, noisy and full of good atmosphere, especially on a Saturday night. Last night, the place was buzzing with great live music. The Thai restaurant upstairs was fantastic. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was friendly and quick. My only suggestion would be to add pictures to the menu. As I’m not familiar with Thai cuisine, choosing without knowing what the dishes looked like was a bit of a gamble—but luckily, I chose very well! Highly recommended.”

    “5 stars We visited Thai at The Sal for the first time after a long week apart, and it turned out to be the perfect reunion dinner! ❤️‍🔥 The restaurant impressed us with both flavour and atmosphere. We tried the Tom Yum and Tom Kha soups – both absolutely bursting with authentic Thai flavours and beautifully presented. 🍲✨ The wings were crispy and full of taste, with a perfect sweet chilli dipping sauce. 🍗🌶️ Everything was fresh, delicious, and served on beautifully traditional tableware. Service was warm and friendly, and the food came out promptly. 🕒 A great spot for a date night or just a comforting Thai meal – we’ll definitely be back! 🥰🍽️”
