Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Booked a table for 8 people for sunday 17th September at 4pm to celebrate friends 50th birthday and 29th wedding anniversary. We booked table for4pm and arrived at 3:45pm to what was a closed kitxhen/restaurant!! I showed the email booking reservation and they offered to...cook for us but we felt realky put out as they were clearly closed, cleared away and not expecting us at all! This totalky ruined our celebrations and we left very deflated after looking forward to our meal.More

A group of ten friends visited No 7 at Rum Rooms last night for one of the group’s birthday. We had to pre-order our food but that meant we didn’t wait long for the tapas style dishes to start coming out. Everything was freshly cooked...- I had the chicken curry, salmon and coconut rice - and it was all delicious with so much flavour. Sorry no photos as we were busy eating, drinking and chatting. We had a drink in the bar downstairs before and after our meal. It was all excellent value for money and the service was fab considering we were a noisy group!! Thank you 😊More

Visited as a group of 4 in August. Enjoyed 2 for 1 cocktails and about 20 tapas dishes between us! Food was fantastic. You could see them cooking the food to order and it was brilliant. Thoroughly recommended!

Visited here for Bottomless Brunch as a group of family and friends. Our table was ready for us as soon as we arrived. The food was absolutely amazing, fresh and very tasty (as always). The drinks were really good too with a big choice on...both food and drinks. The service and attention to detail was outstanding. The presentation of the food again amazing. The barman was very friendly and polite. It cost no more than a chain pub brunch but this was by far superior. We were looked after so well. Our glasses were refilled quickly when we wanted another drink and we could choose a different drink if we wanted. Once again The Rum Rooms delivered excellence. It’s one of Doncaster’s hidden gems but well worth a visit.More

It’s been a few years since we ate at No7 and it’s definitely changed. The food is exceptional but now it’s served as a small plates menu, Jamaican Tapas?! Absolutely brilliant idea so that you can pick and mix the amazing variety of dishes that...Ian and his team produce. Incredible value, 12 plates and a bottle of wine for £85…with brilliant service and banter from Ian. We will be back soon…More

We visited tonight for a dinner date, easily the best food in town. There are a lot of places serving "Italian", "mexican" etc in Doncaster, and the food is not authentic, and in may cases it's just bad. This is not just authentic Caribbean, it...is also very good. 2 for 1 cocktails was a nice surprise too.More

I was looking for a short notice hen do locally in Doncaster and was looking for something different rather than just drinks and dinner. We noticed that the run rooms do cocktail classes (only daytime at weekends). We thought it was a great idea and...for £20pp was affordable for all. There was 11 of us and we were asked to arrive to start at 12noon, being advised that the class was around 90mins. Well we were all totally blown away - we tried different cocktails, tasted lots of different rums, were able to make our own cocktail from the menu, then we split into teams to compete and make our own cocktail from scratch. I was very impressed - both with the value for money, but also with how kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable Chris and Finn were. They explained everything, made us feel super comfortable and also helped us out. It was a great afternoon, finished off by us all staying for lunch. Food was great, cooked fresh and presented well. I couldn’t ask for more. I’ve been back since and can’t fault anything. I just wish it had more prominence in the town centre - a great bar and restaurant.More

We rang for a table the night before and was helpful told by the lady on the other end of the phone that the menu and setup of the restaurant had changed from previously, and that the food would be a taste fusion of small...plates relating to 'earth', 'land' and 'sea'. We loved the restaurant food previously, but we were really intrigued and liked the sound of the new menu. Once we arrived we were allowed to pick our own seats (we booked an earlier table). We were told that this was the first night since having a new menu and setup and I quite liked the idea of being one of the first people to sample the new menu! Drinks orders were taken promptly and we had a chance to look at the menu properly. The food was a fusion of all sorts of wonderful inspirations, mainly Jamaican but with a really interesting spin on different types of meats and cuisines. We ordered 12 different small plates from the menu. We were informed that some of the staff were off sick and the chef was working alone, so knew there might be a little wait (along with it being the first day of the new restaurant setup!) We were happy to wait a little and enjoy our drinks. We were served our dishes, and I cannot explain how good some of the taste combinations were! The chef obviously knows which ingredients work well together, I think in one dish there were about 10 different ingredients I tasted which I would never have thought worked well together- but I was in heaven! The only slightly negative we had is that we didn't realise they didn't take cash, that was mainly our fault though as we realised then from being in the rum rooms previously we'd always had to pay by card. It would have perhaps been helpful though to be have been informed of this on the phone or once you arrive at the restaurant in case you've never visited downstairs at the rum rooms before. The staff were more than helpful in accommodating us though, and as it was the first night we were told we'd be able to pay by cash but no change would be able to be given. We were more than happy with this and were pleased at how accommodating they made the experience for us. I have to especially mention the callaloo dish, the explosion of tastes in this dish was insane. A little bit spicy, but if you don't mind a little spice you have to try it. The teenage girls in our party particularly enjoyed the chicken wings, especially the marinade. The ribs went down a treat too. There were no desserts available at the time, but I'm sure some of these small teething problems that I've mentioned can be easily fixed. We will definitely be back again sooner rather than later, and look forward to trying some of the other dishes that we didn't get to try tonight. Bravo to the chef and the team for a succesful first nightMore

Generally a very poor experience. Limited availability from the small menu which did not reflect the website menu - halfway through the meal we were advised of even more unavailable ingredients. We experienced unprofessional service and unacceptable waiting time for food.
