WAGFINDER No photo yet · the business adds these when they claim

A family-run estate pub on Forest Rise in Balby, on the south-west side of Doncaster, refurbished in 2023 and taken on in 2024 by licensees who previously ran pubs around Leeds. There is a garden, its own car park, darts and pool, a function room, and a busy diary of bingo, quizzes and Saturday karaoke, so a dog is better here on a quiet weekday than on a disco night. The green wedge and playing fields around Balby are on the doorstep, with Cusworth Hall park a short drive north. CAMRA's WhatPub entry lists the pub as dog friendly with no room excluded; the pub does not publish a policy of its own.

More from the owner

Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.

Is this your pub?

Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.

Nobody has written one for The Spinney. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.

Read by a human before it appears. We never publish your email, and the business can reply underneath but can never take a review down.
