This venue has a great atmosphere catering for couples, families and a large outdoor area for the summer. The menu is varied including meat, fish, pizza and specials. The prices are reasonable and service is polite and delivered on time. My favourite venue for a drink or a meal.
Welcome back 'The Gate'

This pub was always known as The Gate until a few years ago when some bright spark tried to theme it (sort of) and renamed it the Jenny Wren. It became a dismal hole to avoid. However, a couple of years ago a local company took over, completely refurbished it and returned it to it's rightful name once again. The Gate is what modern folk would describe as a Gastro Pub. The bar is welcoming and friendly, best of all there are no chavs in there as it's generally frequented by the over 30s. The food menu has plenty to choose from and doesn't change too often - a good thing in my opinion for a 'local' pub. Amongst the best dishes are the Duck Salad and their selection of freshly-cooked steaks. Complemented with a good selection of resonably-priced wines it's a place I'd often choose to go to over a local restaurant.
