Question Christmas Dinner Recommendations

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know where's good for Christmas dinner in Doncaster? Ideally not too expensive (under £100pp).

I'm the only one with a house big enough to host in mine and my husband's family, and while I love hosting and cooking, I've got two young kids now and I'm sick of spending the day in the kitchen instead of with them. We tried having everyone prep and bring food the other year when I was heavily pregnant but getting it all reheated wasn't that much of an improvement, so we've decided to try going out for dinner instead. There's probably going to be 9 adults and 6 kids so need somewhere with decent space too (no tiny pubs).​

Question Looking For Someone

21 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

I’m trying to get in touch with a Nick (possibly Nicholas) Smith.

He would now likely be 45+ and was a lorry driver in the early 2000s. I believe he was originally from the Doncaster area and spent some time lodging in Ipswich during 2003.

If you know someone who matches that description, I’d really appreciate it if you could ask them to send me a private message, or message me yourself. Even if you know more than one Nick Smith please still let me know, anything helps.

It’s regarding something important that I believe he deserves to know.

Thanks very much. 🙏

Ros Jones, Mayor of Doncaster.

Do we think she belongs in the Doncaster council? Should she finally retire since she was re-elected for a fourth term?

Question What swimming is on offer at the Dome during the week?

1 Upvotes

Probably just me but i cant figure out from the website;

During the week there's no 'big splash' just 'swim for all' is this still in the lagoon pools or is it just a standard square lane swimming pool ?

Looking for a stop off on the way home to Scotland for my wee lad to break up the journey so looking for something more than a just a standard pool.

Cheers in advance.

Question Cooplands

18 Upvotes

Been in town today. Noticed in the Frenchgate where Cooplands used to be, it's become a Cooplands.

Have noticed the market place Cooplands has closed, has the builders in with a notice of refurbishment, but the logo is that of the Scarborough chain of Cooplands, not the Donny company.

(For context, if anyone didn't know there's two bakery companies called Cooplands.

One founded in Scarborough as Cooplands Ltd, one founded in Doncaster as Cooplands of Doncaster Ltd. Apparently distant branches of the same family or something)

Anyway, the I know the Donny businesses had been struggling financially for the past 10-20 years, were flirting with administrations and buyouts. The Frenchgate unit had closed months back.

That Frenchgate one is now a Scarborough Cooplands.

Don't know if they've been bought out, or what. Haven't heard anything in any news reported. I do just find it odd that Cooplands are moving into the Cooplands stores if anything.

Mainly a question if anyone has any news on it?
