The Mallard is a community local at 97 Cusworth Lane, Cusworth, Doncaster (DN5 8JN, South Yorkshire), trading across three areas including a lounge with a dedicated stage and plenty of seating for live music and dining. Friday nights bring live bands, while Wednesday's open jam night invites anyone to come along and join in; there's also a Thursday quiz, darts, pool and a Sunday-league football team. A house PA and vocal mics are provided, and a function room is available to hire. Open into the early hours on Fridays, it's a solid grassroots room for Doncaster covers and originals players.
