  “Went here today for the first time, the staff were amazing and the food lived up to that great service. When I accidentally forgot to swap my black pudding for another ingredient they still did the swap for me which was very kind. I will definitely be back here when I’m in the area.”

  “We stopped off at The Arkle for a bite to eat on the way to N Yorks, and loved it. Delicious food, generous portions (see our pic), very good value, and lovely staff. It's under new ownership, so go support them!”

  “I've been visiting this cafe ever since it opened and the wife and I had always enjoyed the place, the food was always lovely, atmosphere was always up beat and lively and the service you could never fault, however since it has had new owners you can tell there has been very big changes and not for the better in our eyes, the service has gone from they couldn't do enough for you, to OH right I guess I better stop talking and serve you, the lad that takes your orders struggles to get anything right or completely forgets things (no names as it would not be fair) also the quality of the food has become poor but prices have gone through the roof, you can feel its just about the money now and not about the customers making them feel like part of a family, for these reasons we will no longer eat here again.”

  “I've been yesterday for the first time, small but cosy inside, definitely interesting with hundreds of images hanging everywhere, your eyes will not be bored 😅 . I ate a beef burger, fresh bun, double patty, excellent taste, recommend 100%. Nice and quiet area, great location, i'll be back soon.”

  “This was by far the best cafe I have ever eaten at. Service was fantastic and the food was just wow. It was very tasty and price was well worth it. Even the drinks were very good. Highly recommend and can't wait to visit again.”

  “Had a lovely meal at The Arkle today. The new owners have done a great job and the new menu is fantastic! Everything we ordered was really tasty, fresh, and full of flavour. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Doncaster. We'll be coming back again soon. Good luck to the new owners!”

  “We were in the area and looking for a bite to eat. Google search brought up The Arkle and from the reviews it seemed a no trainer. We weren't dissapointed with anything. Probably the most friendly and engaging people you're ever likey to meet. A very interesting interior, very cleverly dressed and presented a stand out to a vast majority of similar establishments. A very comprehensive menu well displayed and visible. Our shredded pork sandwiches were in large breadcakes and generously filled. Stuffing, apple sauce, fried onions and gravy were all available to add. Large cups of tea and a couple of very nice and tasty mince pies. Good value for money.”

  “Well i have finally cracked it. Best breakfast in Doncaster by a country mile in my opinion. The Arkle Cafe in Scawsby. 5* on customer service, food, atmosphere and price. Just short of £20 for one large and one small breakfast, one tea and one green tea and one orange juice and apple juice. Absolutely can't be beaten on price and quality in my opinion. Photos don't do this little cafe justice. No wonder it was full. 🌟”

  “Brilliant place. Glad we diverted off the A1 based on a Google maps search for "cafes near here". Amazing prices for generous sized meals. Friendly, helpful staff and the cafe interior is quirky and fun. You could spend hours here and still not see all the funny little features like the fake mouse hole with a for sale sign. The food was freshly prepared and well presented.”
