Bucking Fastard left this review about The Draughtsman Alehouse

Beautifully restored square room which has been converted to a very good micro pub.The magnificent internal glazed tiling has been exposed by removing layers of paint,and the marble fireplace now houses a log burner.The bar is in solid wood ,as it the flooring while there is a banquette in one corner,with high stools with drinking ledges along one wall.Pictures of the work of a draughtman decorate the walls.There are some external tables but you cant take a glass out there ,and will be politely served in plastic if you want to go outside.
There are three handpumps and 5 keg taps,along with wine and spirits,while sandwiches and snacks are available.On my trip both Titanic Plum Porter and Hilltop IPA were on great form,with another ale settling.The guv'nor is an ale fanatic so expect some very well chosen real ale options,and he is helped out by other family members.
It really deserves to succeed ,and with no ticket barriers at Doncaster station,local drinkers pop along to Platform 3B .Worth missing your train for,and it should be included on any real ale tour of the town .It's a micro version of The Sheffield Tap,and worthy of a visit for both the interior and the ale.I will be back.
