Off the beaten track

Lower-profile pubs, cafés and corners the locals keep to themselves.

  • The Old Postern

    Wetherspoons in a converted bank building, less busy than the main matchday pubs.

    Open in maps

  • Sandall Beat Wood

    Woodland walk near the stadium that few away fans discover.

  • Hexthorpe Flatts Park

    Riverside park across town, a quiet alternative to the retail park bustle.

Transport alert

Standard Saturday

Nothing unusual in the Doncaster diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

The stadium's Lakeside location means limited genuine 'local pub' options; most food is chain-based.

Ground note

Post-match traffic out of the retail park can be slow — allow extra time if driving.
