5 star

Fantastic cosy pub in beautiful, charming village. A lovely place to visit. Food and drink great and lovely, friendly cosy atmosphere.

We had a lovely meal at The Old Gate Inn. There were 7 of us, one with a peanut allergy, one with an allergy to shellfish and one vegan, and nothing was too much. Incredibly friendly staff. Have been several times before and would absolutely return.

I visited here a few months back and the Sunday Roast was AMAZING. This time much less so, sadly. The beef was of a much lower quality (too gristly) and volume (much less of it). Last time I visited I’d have given you 5 out of 5 all round but this time I can’t as quite simply it was disappointing. I’ll visit you again in a few months and hopefully you’ll repeat my first experience not second one. If you don’t, I will look elsewhere.

What a lovely pub! Great atmosphere and wonderful food. We all had a Sunday lunch & it was delicious. Also very good value. Highly recommended

First time we have dined here. Food mediocre. Service excellent. Value for money ….expensive for what was served. Will not be visiting again.

2nd time I have written a review for our visit, my first not published. I repeat, food very mediocre, chicken and leek pie, tasteless, soggy pastry produced in a microwave, a handful of chips and a green mush that was mixed vegetables ??? It seems that my views may have been shared by the dinners on the adjacent table who had food sent back to the kitchen. Staff excellent, very welcoming, the surroundings quaint, atmospheric, a super experience. Back to the food, expensive for what was served, the standard needs to be much higher. Ps Coffee was superb 10/10.

Excellent food, extremely friendly service, great price! Will be back again soon!

Fabulous Sunday dinner - great choices and veggie and vegan options available. Staff very polite, efficient and friendly. Great place with a great atmosphere!

Lovely village pub. Sunday lunch was delicious. We were hoping the fires would be lit but they weren’t, which was a bit of a shame as it was a very foggy, dank day

Delicious!!! Food was really tasty, fresh and hot. Our table of four all left clean plates. And although we were rather full we couldn’t resist pudding!! My favourite pub. The service is excellent. Would highly recommend.

Amazing people with the food to match. A beautiful little place where you are truly welcomed. Would recommend to anyone heading to the area and wanting a fantastic bite to eat and a pint.

A lovely little country pub serving great food. Staff were all really friendly and helpful.
