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

Had a lovely Sunday dinner. Chose the beef which was really tasty. Great service and lovely atmosphere.

excellent sunday lunch gor a family of six. all very happy with the food and cosy atmosphere in the old gate, will visit again.

A beautiful country pub that I have been looking for, for the last 15 years. Went there in 2011 and remember a great atmosphere. Ate early (5pm) so not so busy but the food was lovely.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch, top notch food and drinks, thanks

We had a lovely meal on Wednesday 31st December, I had gammon which was huge, my friend had the fish and the other the lamb pie we all enjoyed it the staff are very friendly and considering they were a chef short in the kitchen the meals weren't delayed and the service was prompt. We also had dessert which was lovely.

Absolutely fantastic across the board. The most perfect place to spend Christmas Eve. Truly fabulous

A great experience from booking then the food service and drinks were lovely we would wholeheartedly recommend.
