Butler's Tea Room & Bistro in Doncaster

Every time I’ve been here the experience hasn’t been the best. The queue is always so long and the staff food wait has been long (last time I went (last Saturday) the girl who served me was really nice and efficient so not her!).The food itself is pretty over priced for what it is and I don’t think I’ll be having food next time. Is a shame because the gardens are so nice to have a walk around and to bring the dogs.

I paid a small visit with the hubby today for a quick brunch and overall I’m just not impressed, The potential this beautiful cafe has is unreal! Yet unfortunately it’s lacking so much, nothing wrong personally with any of the staff members however I feel as though they are too casual and not professional at all, do the staff members get actual training on how to work with customers? the way the young woman and man answered me when I asked if we had to book a table was completely irresponsible and just down right rude,Also the bbq melt was not very flavourful or warm? I’m not sure if this is how you serve your food but I was a bit confused. I’m sorry to have to leave this review For such a lovely place but it’s just not good enough.. cmon guys..

Lovely cup of tea and toast, after parkrun in beautiful surroundings. Staff were so friendly in cafe. Menu looked good, wished we could of stayed for lunch 😋

I have often visited this cafe in the Autumn/winter months and enjoyed a homemade soup however today had a very different experience.My friend and I both queued for 15 mins just to make the order. It was a lovely sunny day so we looked for a few table outside and eventually got one. We were very disappointed with the baked potato as it was lukewarm and the salad was a third of what we were expecting for the price! At a cafe so popular we wondered why you couldn’t also make waiter service a priority.

Always pleasant staff, good coffee choice and lovely looking cakes and buns etc. very popular with dog walkers so can be a bit yappy

Decent place, quite busy when I visited but my order was taken and food came out in good time. Food was nice enough and wouldn’t mind returning some day for some cake or dessert. Only negative is that it is a little expensive but that is to be expected when it is at the location at Cusworth as it is.

Took my daughter for afternoon tea here today and it was lovely. Vintage China, tiny cakes and sandwiches, lovely setting, friendly staff. A lovely afternoon and highly recommended. Well done Butler's staff!

Great little restaurant/cafe.Lots on the menu hot and cold foods. Toilets available and disabled toilets to and mother and baby.In door and outdoor eating.Friendly helpful happy staff.I highly recommend this place.

Wheelchair accessible entrance and seating. Friendly helpful staff.Small cafe with cobbles and flagstone floors. Unable to reserve tables so if unable to go upstairs to the upstairs seating area, I would avoid peak times, if sunny plenty of seating outside. Plus, if you have a dog or dogs they are welcome in the outside undercover room.They serve breakfast from 10am to 12 noon, also snacks and cake. There is also a specials menu and normal for menu served from 12 noon till 7pm.Reasonably priced homemade food.

Great food. Note that if you want the afternoon tea then you need to book in advance. They have all home made cakes and quiches etc.
