The Little Plough, Doncaster

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.

A good old fashioned boozer with 3 ales on when I visited. I went in the front bar which had a few friendly regulars in which made for good banter

Neatly preserved 30s interior in both front public and rear lounge, it is on CAMRA's national inventory of historic pub interiors. Three pulls in public with Old Golden Hen, Acorn Barnsley Bitter and a guest, the lounge is served via a hatch. Busy with auld lads on my lunchtime call. Bench seating round edges with chairs on the outer side of the wooden tables. A few pictures and cuttings of local interest including plough related stuff forms the decor. Oversized glasses are used for the popular Stones Bitter possibly from an electric pump, Tulip glasses for cask. A good traditional boozer.
