Pub of the Season
Autumn 2016
The River Don Tavern, Eastoft
Our Pub of the Season for Autumn goes to the
River Don Tavern at Eastoft. This friendly village
local is run by licensees Gordon Crowe and Karen
Burdett, who have been at the helm for the past 17
years. The pub offers up to four rotating guest real
ales, with the excellent beers from Roosters regularly
featured, plus a real cider in summer.
The pub is renowned for its food, particularly the
highly regarded Sunday carvery, which can be eaten
in the in-house restaurant if required.
The River Don also offers comfortable, good
value accommodation in four lodges at the rear of
the pub and in rooms in the pub itself. These have
proved very popular with birdwatchers using the
nearby Blacktoft Sands RSPB bird reserve and others.
Five excellent real ales were on offer for the presentation including Roosters Birdman, Dark Star Hophead and
Rudgate Barleys Angel. Gordon and Karen also laid out a tasty buffet for the occasion which was appreciated
by the Scunthorpe & District CAMRA group and other pub customers.
We congratulate Gordon and Karen on their
award presented on Saturday 5 November.
