Big indoor shopping mall directly next to Doncaster train station. You can walk into the mall from the train station without going outside. There's a multi-storey car park, collect ticket on way in and pay for ticket at machine before returning to your car. Its number plate recognition, so you don't actually need to insert a ticket at the exit barrier. There are alot of shops and food outlets. The food tends to be fast food, quite a selection. There's even a pub, yes an actual pub in the shopping centre for those who want to combine their 2 favourite hobbies. The pub doesn't have a beer garden.
All the main high street shops you need. Also lots of places to eat although would be nice to have a few more healthier options aside from the likes of Burger joints, pizza, pub etc. clean and well kempt.
The carpark is really easy to use and very big, the shopping centre has a mixture of everything and the food court is small but gives you a good choice of different fast food outlets. Very well situated as the bus station is right next to the shopping centre and the train station is close by too.
We visited Frenchgate shopping centre yesterday because we wanted to eat at cosmo.
Parking at this shopping centre was very easy even in our VW van.
The shopping centre itself was very clean and tidy and housed many mainstream shops and restaurants.
Myself and my wife were very impressed by frenchgate and Doncaster and plan on revisiting in the near future.
Decent variety and mix of shops, I particularly liked its connection to the train and bus stations. Had a nice time strolling around when I had to suddenly change travel plans. Was surprised by how early the shops close. After 18.00 on a week day the place was eerily quiet.
Great choice of shops, some are high end selling brands but also plenty of bargain stores, all selling great quality items at reasonable prices, something for everyone, lots of sales on, tidy throughout and gorgeous festive decorations, Upper and lower stores, escalator and lift available, good accessibility for pushchairs and wheelchairs, plenty of places to eat, and good transport connections with the bus station being directly below
Ok, I've seen better, but it's an OK place to go. It's a good selection of shops covering many categories, including food. An added bonus is that they have good public conveniences
Here almost everyday for transport via bus. The shopping centre is amazing and has everything you'd need. If I had to say something bad about, it's how busy it can get and that the food court hasn't got the widest array of options like Meadowhall's Oasis in Sheffield.
Very nice place with lots of shops cosmo is very nice!
Been going here all my life and still a good place to go for a few hours, good variety of clothes, shops and food stores. There is a little bit of everything here. The main issue is the security on notorious for being rather nasty and if you go at the wrong times there are swarms of kids and chavs running around, I have witnessed a few times the kids run away from security and run right into people. Not French gates fault of course but something to be careful of
