Nice little place for a cuppa and a catch up. If you’re nearby it’s worth giving this place a try. Having come here a few times either because I was conferencing here or met here for a meeting. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Choice of drinks and food a good and meals are good portion sizes. Good parking downstairs but fills up quickly when an event or conference in and side streets limited to one hour. Kid friendly. Wheelchair friendly.

Spring rolls were nice - would be improved by serving with a dip. The main Asian cuisine was lovely. Some chicken was a little dry but overall tasty. The one thing that would have definitely improved the experience would be serving utensils with the mains as was hard to distribute when sharing.

Was here for a business meeting and it was a nice comfortable and clean environment for the setting. You can have a Sofa and Table combo available too. Beer was good as well.. New meeting spot in the future for sure.

Why no one knows about this gem. We stumbled to this restaurant attached to the hotel by chance and an website promotion and how good it is. Western and Asian style cooking in a selected menu and all in high quality and reasonable. Come and try

Fantastic food and service. Special mention goes to the beef burger and steak. Doncaster's best kept secret. That's a shame, everyone should try Red Kitchen. My family and I will be back.
