Went on Tuesday with friends, had a nice selection on the £10 meals. Very tasty tandoori chicken.

Part way (the pretty way) stop for lunch after collecting a car from Derby to deliver to Marple. Not the first and hopefully not the last visit to “The Gate”. Superb friendly welcome (after arriving an hour before the lunch booking time - not a problem.) Food here is just so good, several steps up from the average pub “ping” food often encountered elsewhere. It is very tempting to fix a stay in Brassington for a few days working through The Gate menu whilst enjoying the magnificent countryside on offer in the area.

Great pub. Great atmosphere. Friendly helpful staff. Really very good food.

Stopped here for lunch on monday having just completed a blustery walk on and around the High Peak Trail. Fire was alight which was very heartening after the wind and odd rain shower. Hosts were extremely welcoming, nothing too much trouble. Food was superb, great local ale, a nice time was had by all - thank you!

Nice welcome at the Old Gate Inn Sunday lunch was nice with good service Would return

Stayed in an Airbnb pretty much next door so this was super handy. Saturday evening meal was fabulous and we returned for Sunday lunch. The roast (I had nut roast, hubby the gammon) was superb. Great value, great vibe and lovely friendly staff. Fantastic all round.

Had a great Sunday lunch there yesterday 22nd March with a good atmosphere and great drinks/beers.

Superb Sunday Lunch, great choice, huge portion, lovely home cooked food. A must to visit if you are staying in the area. Really friendly staff.

What an absolute gem of a pub. The staff were so friendly and offered a prompt service. The food was amazing, pipping hot and reasonable priced. I had the fish croutons, homemade chips and salad, my husband had the steak and Stilton pie. Both meals were delicious. The pub also allowed dogs, which was fantastic after a long walk. We would definitely come again and I highly recommend.

Roast dinner was amazing, huge portions and lovely food!

Mothers Day lunch - food was great as usual. Great choices and 2 main vegan choices, both were delicious! Staff always very friendly, helpful and polite. A great pub !!

A fantastic village pub which catered to 7 of us comfortably and with excellent service. The food was absolutely delicious. Can't fault it :)

We have been here several times and have enjoyed the food and cosy atmosphere. We went on Saturday evening and enjoyed our time, friendly staff, nice food, fire going etc, the only issue was we asked for some extra custard which was a tiny pot (about 2 spoonfuls) which would have been ok if they hadn’t charged £2.50 for it!! Really disappointing and spoilt it.

Enjoyed a delicious Sunday Roast for our 3 generation family last weekend. Delightful staff and service couples with good beer and cosy and atmospheric fires - perfect Sunday afternoon ! . It was our second visit and we’ll definitely be back again!

Have enjoyed several superb Sunday lunches here, but this time my friend and I tried the evening menu. We were not disappointed. I had the rich succulent beef bourginan with lovely mash and very nicely cooked seasonal veg - not mushy just the right side of al dente. My friends chicken, ham and leek pie was a proper full pie - no silly puff pastry lid - with lovely shortcrust pastry and a tender, delicious filling. Oh, and we enjoyed a lovely starter of pate and toast. A super meal from start to finish with good service.

5 star!

A very warm welcome from the staff on our arrival. The table set with a high chair for our grandson. Attentive service, beautiful meal quickly served, a good choice on the menu.We really enjoyed our visit, and will certainly visit again soon. We arrived at 12.30, having booked our table , it was quite quiet, but did get busy about 1.15, do advise booking if you are eating and want a nice table near the fire too! Fabulous place!!!!

Great pub with good atmosphere, will be back
