Doncaster Market, Best Market in England 2011, Official
Posted on September 14, 2011 | 1 CommentDoncaster's Market has a long and varied history, inexorably tied up in the history of the town itself. Doncaster can trace it's own origins back to Roman times and was an important settlement of that era. However, very little remains of those early settlements and unlike York to the north, the town underplays it's heritage. There is an eight foot section of crumbling roman wall just to the side of St. Georges Church and that's your lot. It's usually surrounded by 'Council Working' barriers and I imagine they went up two thousand years ago. Tsk, Local Councils and their tea-breaks eh? -
Restaurant review: Turkuaz, Doncaster
Posted on August 17, 2011 | No CommentsNether Hall Road is Doncaster's equivalent to Chinatown in London, albeit on a much smaller scale. A high concentration of restaurants and eateries are bunched together in a small area so it takes some doing to stand out from the crowd, so to speak. Luckily, Turkuaz has a lot going for it and despite all the nearby competitors, it's actually Zest, that thoroughly-modern Mediterranean diner located several streets away that perhaps draws the more obvious comparisons. -
Restaurant review: Trattoria Toscana, Doncaster
Posted on June 27, 2011 | No CommentsTravelling round the suburbs surrounding Doncaster doesn't exactly fill one with confidence when it comes to finding a salubrious dining establishment. An endless supply of fried chicken huts and kebab shops cater for the burgeoning waste-line but fine dining is notable by its absence. There's the odd exception, sure, but they seem to be getting harder and harder to find. -
Restaurant review: Zest Bar and Grill
Posted on April 15, 2011 | No CommentsDoncaster is renowned as a bit of a party town it has to be said. It has more pubs per square inch than a collapsed neutron star has molecules. 'Party Town' is also another way of saying it's an absolute hole, a dive, a den of iniquity or a cess-pit of lost souls where the tanked-up brethren are condemning themselves to the very bowels of Beezlebub. I think it's just a bit shabby, but there you go. -
Restaurant review: Elachi, Doncaster
Posted on July 16, 2010 | No CommentsIt has to be said, Armthorpe despite being the birth place of Kevin Keegan, is a rather less salubrious part of Doncaster when compared to say, Bessacarr or Bawtry. That’s... -

Restaurant review: Oriental Palace, Doncaster, UK
Posted on June 26, 2010 | 1 CommentThe decor, thankfully, is modern and takes its cue from 20's art deco and very nice it is too. Apart from a rather kitsch goldfish tank doubling up as a drinks table, it doesn't resort to the typical Chinese restaurant cliche's that are so prevalent in other establishments of this ilk.
