🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Despite several previous announcements, farewell drinks, retirement cards, and what we can only assume was a very convincing speech about “finally putting his feet up”…

IAIN IS BACK. AGAIN.

Yesterday morning he casually strolled through the door, threw his coat and hat aside, and got straight back to work as if he’d never left.

We’re not saying retirement didn’t suit him… but apparently Tuesday mornings at The Draughtsman suited him more 👀

Please join us in welcoming back the man, the myth, the pensioner:

Iain

You’ve got Bryn Diesel looking after you this morning, with Russ and our newest recruit, Sophie, closing the day out later!

Tunes today from JJ Cale with the 1981 release Shades, kindly provided by Doncaster’s very own Johnny Too Blues!

And now for the beers….fresh bangers pouring from Sierra Nevada and Abbeydale Brewery in the form of some rather full on 7% IPA’s! Fresh Buxton Brewery Company on cask with some Pomona Island Brew Co patiently waiting!

So once a year we all have a day where we reflect on the year that’s passed and make plans for the year to come.
Today is one of those days as we join one of our own in celebrating his birthday.
Our little spot on 3b wouldn’t be what it is today without your endless enthusiasm and drive, so here’s to another great year of beer.
Enjoy your day Luke from us ALL at The Draughtsman 🍻🍻

BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY = CLOSED 🍻

As is tradition, we’re closed today for a much needed refresh after an absolutely bedlam weekend 👀

You lot completely wiped us out… Platform Pilsner vanished despite Luke ordering extra, and all THREE Full Circle keg beers have officially kicked 😮‍💨🍺

We’ll be back fighting fit tomorrow, but for now stay hydrated folks… it’s a bloody warm’un out there ☀️💦

The team are off to Sheffield today to celebrate Iain’s second retirement 🍻

Like Elton John and his “final” farewell tours, we’re not entirely convinced this will be the last one… 👀

Back open tomorrow from 11am — and with the weather looking absolutely scorching, it’s going to be a mighty hot one folks ☀️🍺

See ya soon!

BANK HOL BONANZA ☀️🍻

It’s bank holiday weekend, it’s our Full Circle: Tap Takeover with Full Circle Brew Co, it’s absolutely scorching… and Luke’s already sunburnt 🙄 🥵

We kicked things off this morning with a cracking brekky at The Gentleman Fishmonger followed by a quick trip to Wilkinson butchers Doncaster for some weekend BBQ essentials 😍

We also caught Tom from DN1 shirking 👀

If you’re out and about today we’d highly recommend giving them a visit, then swinging by ours afterwards for a cheeky tipple or two 😉

Don’t forget — our Full Circle Tap Takeover kicks off from 3pm with beers pouring across cask & keg, plus prizes and giveaways all afternoon & evening 🍻

Whatever you’re doing this weekend, stay hydrated and don’t forget the factor 50 ☀️
