The Little Plough, Doncaster

A splendidly-unchanging and proper old-school pub, so still as described in earlier reviews. Ales on this occasion were Acorn Barnsley Bitter, Bradfield Farmers Blonde, Batemans Combined Harvest and Hobgoblin, with Banks's Mild due on next. Beer condition seemed excellent and oversized glasses are always preferable to trying to negotiate a top-up. Definitely worth dropping in.

This old pub still has the signage for Hewitts of Grimsby who were taken over in 1961 and ended up in the Bass abomination. It's now owned by Star Pubs rather than Mouldy Corpse, well that's according to What Pub. Every man and his dog seems to have been here so it's more than well described. I sat at the end of the public bar near a collection of silver cups that were for a Darts and Dominoes league. What looked like a dart board cabinet nearby had closed doors and looked unusable without trashing the furnishings with bounce outs. There were three beers available Watneys Ray Of Sunshine, GK Yardbird and Acorn Barnsley Bitter. I thought this was a pretty average choice so out of sheer curiosity went for the Watnays. It was well kept but a fairly pedestrian low ABV golden ale. It might have an important interior but I thought it was a fairly ordinary place. It's GBG 2018 listed.
