Reviews of The School House

L. “.

The food was absolutely delicious! And the staff we're so friendly and attentive. I visited on a Thursday and it was 2 for 1 cocktails and acoustic night, the musician was really talented and funny, it was a great atmosphere. The cocktails we're freshly made and tasted amazing and a bargain with them being 2 for 1. I would definitely visit again!

C. B.

A fabulous experience. Breakfast was yummy. A lovely variety on the menu. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Definitely going back. Can't wait to try out their cocktails one evening

You can't beat The School House for menu, decor, ambience or service. Yesterday we called in for lunch but its equally great for an evening meal, a treat for breakfast or even just a mid-morning coffee and a cake. Thursday evening tends to have live music (singer/instrumentalist) yet the ambience doesn't suffer. The menu caters for all and provides excellence at a decent price. Set in a genuine former stone built school house with the option to eat out under cover of you prefer, The School House surely has to rate as one of the top places to eat in the Doncaster area.

We had a beautiful Sunday lunch at this hidden Jem. We were a party of 5. We all ordered different meals but all were excellent. I had roast beef it was beautiful great flavors and well presented. Great service from the team We will be back

C. B.

Bit of a mix up over the booking but the staff were wonderful and the food delicious. We had afternoon tea for my Aunts 90th birthday and we were very happy with it

D. B.

We booked a table for 12 on 14th August to celebrate Tracey's birthday! Gazebo area was cozy and warm and great for larger parties. The staff are fantastic; so attentive, friendly and helpful. Food was very good and portions are generous. Some of the group returned for breakfast the following morning and the service/food was just as good. Thanks for having us and I'm sure you'll be seeing us again soon 😊

N. H.

Lovely cafe, relaxing and beautiful old building. Will be returning. PS staff attentive and professional.

J. B.

Lovely place and amazing food. Really enjoyed it.

K. W.

Very nice food and adequate portion . Wifes did come slightly cold so they rewarded it ..think this was due to to thick plates taking away the heat from the meal It was busy but for on young girl to be running ,serving etc ...probably needs one more staff to help it flow better ... But credit to the young girl she did a fantastic job ... very kind and polite too ...

N. h.

What a great place to spend the afternoon/early evening. Plenty of outside seating with patio heaters, good food and cocktails. What more can you ask for? Oh yes lovely attentive staff to boot. I shall definitely be returning 10/10

S. L.

Lovely food and a lovely setting. We spoke with 4 different members of staff who were all very friendly. Definitely going to go again. If you've not been, make a date in your calendar to go. You won't be disappointed.

S. H.

Lovely food and the staff were great. Nice to have somewhere local to get good food,keep it up🙂

B. D.

Very pleasant establishment friendly staff, quick service and very nice food. Just watch out for car park, entrance is very narrow, otherwise ample spaces. Booking advised.

S.

Lovely food, plenty of cocktails! We tried 'gangstas paradise' which has a Banana liqueur in it! It was delicious. Very friendly and helpful staff 🙂

M. F.

I would like to say a big thank you to Andrew and his team for looking after us all at our daughters 21st birthday. Nothing was to much trouble and the food was lovely. Special praise to the young lad taking the drink orders. Well done everyone.

R. T.

An amazing and beautiful place with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere! The food was out of this world. I had an avocado, feta and spinach salad, mussels in white wine sauce followed by sea bass. My wife had grilled halloumi with chilli jam followed by sea bass and seasonal vegetables. Our youngest son had buttermilk chicken and home made fries. The owners have done a brilliant job with the refurbishment of this place with no expense spared. The prices aren't too expensive either and excellent value for money. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. All in all, an amazing experience.

J. B.

Only had coffee but excellent service and lovely restaurant with a good menu.

D. K.

Called in for our first visit for a Cappuccino which was superb, stayed and had a light lunch, hock and chutney and pan fried mushrooms with Katsu on toasted sourdough excellent. Will visit again asap.

D. S.

Limited menu for vegans but a nice spot.

J. P.

Beautiful breakfast, we will be going back.

C. E.

Lovely tea rooms set in a very old village school, probably Victorian, offering breakfast as well. Beautifully cooked poached eggs. Lovely setting in the village opposite the old church. Highly recommended.

S. G.

Had a good cup of coffee and a lovely scone here recently. Pleasant staff and lovely looking cakes on display. Had a look at the menu and it seems very reasonably priced. Menu includes a fried breakfast. I'm looking forward to trying their quiche and salad which if as good as the scone will be delicious. Plenty of parking space and tables and chairs outside for when the weather improves.

K. B.

Excellent food and service. Really enjoyed it.

J. S.

First but not the last visit for breakfast. Amazing food and the best black pudding ever. The staff were friendly and really made us feel welcome.

D. T.

Brunch was brilliant service was excellent would recommend this place well appointed restaurant

R. C.

Good food, great service, nice atmosphere.

G. C.

Went for early tea . Sat in outside area. Four different starters all 5* quality followed by equally as good mains. Very good service and drinks menu with large selection of cocktails

C. L.

First time visiting and a glorious sunny day made this venue absolutely delightful. Positioned nicely on the corner of the road, opposite the church, you really felt as though you could be in a little french village and not in Doncaster. The outdoor area was styled nicely and the menu contained a variety of delicious options. A great place to go for anything from a slice of cake and a drink, all the way to a full blown meal. Rated it down a star as despite being offered a seat, noone came back to offer us menus and we had to ask after we realised they'd already served people who had come after us. They didn't advise what wasn't available on the menu when they took our orders and ....my item wasn't available so I needed to re-choose. Finally I ordered a coke zero and they brought a coke as they were out of coke zero which is the biggest issue as you cannot serve a sugary drink in place of a non sugar drink (diabetics!). It was rectified but a little annoyed that I had to point this issue out. Would definitely go back and imagine that a few weeks of being up and running with covid restrictions easing will really see this place in its stride 👍🏼

M. G.

Me and my friends go every Friday for coffee and a bite to eat every thing we order is delicious warm toast ,bacon sandwich done exactly how we wanted staff have become friends and every customer is treated so professionally

V. M.

Been awhile since my last visit.... I must say...... & what a choice.. very good under new ownership EXCELLENT.. service friendly polite & warm.... we had gypsy toast with toppings 🍓 maple syrup.... also small mixed breakfast on toasted sourdough bread...🥓🥖... Well presented & tasty.... Would I recommend The School House... 💥💥💥💥💥 yes I would... Visit on an evening.. Enjoy a cocktail... With well presented food... Quality...Not.. Quantity..... Visit visit visit 👍🏻 Enjoy 😘X

C. B.

Once again lovely lunch would definitely recommend I had the roast beef and horseradish on sourdough sandwich off the specials board whilst my friend had the fried halloumi with salad The service was friendly and very efficient All tables were cleared and cleaned very quickly One of my favourite places to have lunch

S. B.

Very nice food, excellent staff, lovely place

K. B.

First visit here and what a lovely place, Sat outside and enjoyed a lovely meal and a cuppa, service was friendly and welcoming, if I was being really picky the only little spoiler was waiting about 30 mins for the food, only a sandwich, but it was delicious when it came, will certainly go back asap

K. W.

First time I've been here. Came with my sisters-inlaw, nephew & son. Lovely little place. Breakfast was gorgeous. Cakes were really good. Very clean,staff all very polite and helpful. Will definitely be coming again for one of our meet ups for coffee and cake! :)

W. D.

The school house has undergone a remarkable makeover. The food and service was excellent. The vegetarian options on the menu are good. Highly recommended, will definitely be visiting again.

S. B.

Came here from Brighton to get a puppy and we were really lucky to discover this place. Very cozy in a lovely area and the staff can really make your day with their kindness!! The food was lovely and the pudding(rocky road), Oh my God!! Thank you very much

S. A.

Fantastic afternoon tea the best smoked salmon sandwiches I've ever had a beautiful venue. Highly recommend

E. G.

My friends & I went for the Christmas meal.The Salmon option was very well presented & very tasty.Enjoyed the experience in lovely surroundings.

K. “. O.

It's doesn't look much from the outside, and frankly, not much on the inside, the decor is dated, if you ignore the windows are dirty and dusty, the tables are clean and welcoming, the staff are lovely... We had the full English which said it had black pudding... When it came out it was missing, upon asking where it was, I was told none arrived on the order, not a big deal, but if its advertised it would have been nice to have been told it wasn't available, we were offered extra toast after the fact. The breakfast was delicious, not greasy, the bacon was thick cut, the sausages were fantastic, you could see just how fresh the eggs were, the mushrooms were fresh, (not tinned) beans and tomato good quality, and the toast was freshly cut, not your bog standard sliced bread. Will most definitely go back as its so difficult to find a top quality brekkie these days.

j. h.

Disappointed on Friday 9th visit Issues related to ordering food of a misleading menu times Fell between 2 stools ,too late for morning menu and too soon for midday menu 1140 on arrival Resolved by a very polite knowledgeable young lady We will be returning as that one small issue was not enough to blacklist it as previous visits have been excellent Peter and Edwina Bolton upon Dearne
