Not sure if any new style plastic pubs have sprung up nearer the Airport but the Eagle and Child in Auckley is about one and half miles away and is pretty good.

Only if you’re happy jumping the fence and walking across the runway!

No pubs within a reasonable walk of the airportl.

There is a bar in the Ramada encore hotel, within walking distance to the airport ( next to the airport car park) However the beer is hotel prices and a limited range of food available.

Hare & Tortoise is now Miller & Carter steakhouse. Decent food but not cheap, they have a good selection of beer on tap. Again, not cheap.

Round 2 !

The Chinese in Blaxton / Finningley used to be brilliant ! I would drive from Thorne with a Cooler / Heater bag just to get stuff from there

Dont know the score now though (as I have not been for a few years)

Off topic but have you tried Fortune Cookie in Moorends? I live in Doncaster but we still drive out there for our Chinese.
