and nutritious, brilliantly random menu every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday tea time. Through the alley until we arrive at my other favourite foodie area: Wood Street and the adjacent Waterdale centre. Papacass’s has an Italian theme, but to me is as much a no-nonsense, friendly and cheerful daytime café, as well as the wholesome daily specials I love the bright and cheerful décor, which combines red gingham table cloths and retro Italian posters. A little further down is Pure Lunch Bar, a welcome new healthy eating take away where nothing is fried or processed. Main courses like salmon tacos and beef chilli can be washed down with one of their nutrient packed smoothies. NYC Bar & Grill on the bottom corner offers sophisticated New York style burgers
and drinks and is one of the best spots for people watching in town. Let’s finish within the Waterdale centre. The City is now a cosy Polish restaurant, and at the top there’s Java, a great little spot I like to go for a good value breakfast and to read a decent newspaper on a Saturday. Our last stop is shabby-chic Taste Eatery. The lunch, evening and drinks menus are all enticing and on Thursdays the venue becomes an intimate night spot, opening even later than usual for bands and open mic gigs. There are many others to discover – Doncaster’s fringe eateries are certainly worth a detour. End
