Gate Inn in South Derbyshire

Brilliant staff and food quality

Had Sunday lunch today can not fault the food which was great and the staff were very pleasant and attentive, will definitely go again Thank you the Gate Inn Linda

Been a few times now food always good and very well priced staff are always very helpful and friendly

Great atmosphere ,really good food and overall nice place and very clean

First time here. The staff were friendly and the smothered chicken was delicious. Will definitely go back.

In need of refurbishment. Untidy with vacuum cleaners and pushchairs stored in main bar.

Very friendly welcoming staff. Service was great and food was reasonably priced. The quality of the food was excellent, especially the chicken burger with home made chunky chips. Highly recommended 5*

Never had any food just a quick drink with the wife.

First time visiting the Gate a Couple days ago. And it was fantastic! Stace and Adam are so welcoming! And the food is incredible! You can tell everything is homemade! The lasagne was incredible and the chips are to die for! Definitely going to make it our local dining out spot! The food is fabulous value for money! We could barely finish the portions are so generous!

Just went to the Gate inn and wow! Food and service was amazing! Will definitely be returning! 😁

Went to the gate for a scooter meeting on a Wednesday night. Service was excellent, food and drink lovely.

We were able to stay in our motorhome overnight , went in for a drink and meal in the evening, staff we brilliant and friendly food was great I had the chicken & bacon salad, it was so large I couldn't finish it...I have never geen beat by a salad before 😅 would definitely stay again ....we did phone up to ask if we could park& stay overnight the day before 😊

Good quality food and friendly staff. Only three meat options on a Sunday so I would have liked a few more choices.

We only visited for the classic car and bike night which is held on certain Tuesday evenings. As the weather was nice and sunny we sat in the beer garden I have given 5 stars as the last serving and tending for the customers in the garden was very pleasant and the drinks were very good.

We had a family party here, the food was amazing, everyone loved it. I had homemade lasagne with salad and garlic bread it was so good. The staff were welcoming and very accommodating to everyone's needs. It had a great area for the kids to play outside. We'll definitely come back.

Didn't have a great experience here today, booked a table for a Sunday roast for the first time as have heard good reviews about the place. Stood at bar for 15 mins without being noticed, went to the loo and thought I'd get served when back, it wasn't even that busy. Loos were dirty with no toilet roll. Headed back to the bar but was ignored again barmaid was too busy messaging on her phone didn't even get asked if we had a table booked etc. ended up walking out. Glad we did as it was full of riff raff swearing with tops off, it was swarming with kids on a filthy dirty bouncy castle. Really tatty place with run down beer garden, god knows how these kids running the place manage to serve a decent roast but I wouldn't want to try it, never again!

Been some time since we'd called at The Gate, as previous experience a couple of years ago wasn't so good. We'd oy just heard about change of management, so called last week for evening meal. Food fantastic, welcoming atmosphere, so it's back on our radar !! Thanks to the new team. Great !! Fred & Chris

Called in to check the menu and for a quick cup of coffee. The prices are a little bit steep for the food but there's a good selection, I had a lovely coffee, and when I went to pay I was told it was free, so well done the Gate.

Had two sunday meals, one lamb the outher one beef all I can say is absolutely gorgeous,Will defonatly be eating there again ,service and staff was perfect thank you.

Food was excellent, all freshly cooked and piping hot. Generous portions and great value. Would definitely return.

Went here on Wednesday with some friends for our catchup and food. Thank you Stacey & Team it was delicious. We Will be back

Well we went to the gate inn tonight. Its quite a small pub. I have to say the food is really good and the staff are pleasant. But the down side is long waited for food but it is all home made and cooked fresh to order . And the lack of knifes and forks was abit strange as had to waite for them . But overall food is good and tasty and the staff are great . We will probably try again .

This was by far the best roast dinner we have had in many years. And the service was incredible.

I have just returned home from my boys taking me out for a Mothers Day meal. Straight away the atmosphere was friendly with lovely decorations for the day to make you feel special. The roast and pudding was gorgeous. Lovely creamy mash, roast potatoes to die for and the meat was perfect. The staff were very attentive asking for drinks orders and clearing plates. All with a nice sense of humour. A final surprise that made me smile was a bunch of daffodils from the pub for mums and a photograph with a printed copy before you left. What a lovely gesture. Thank you 😊

As this is a pub I drink in quite regularly I thought I'd try the new "pubs" menu (not the normal pub chain foder). All I can say is it was awesome, the 9 of us had a good verity of meals and everyone was over the moon. Portions are more than ample and the quality is very high. Chips are like no others. Try this, you won't be disappointed.

Stopped in for a couple of drinks. No cask ales, no vegan or gluten free options on the food menu. We were served by an underage girl. Surfaces and floors were sticky and unclean. Not a nice atmosphere or experience.

Such a lovely pub/ restaurant. The atmosphere , staff and the food is all incredible. Will definitely be returning, especially for the one of a kind chips! :)

the Sunday dinners there are banging,roast potatoes and beef was stunning

Ever since going to their own menu the food has been top tier! My smash burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had , my partner had the gammon with home made chips. The chips were so tasty. Reasonable price also, highly recommend

Came here for some food we had steak an my daughter had gammon an oh my god food was amazing an the chips are to die for must try the chips

What an amazing little gem this pub and restaurant is! All of the staff including the management, were so friendly and polite! The lamb hot-pots were gorgeous! They only had two left as they were so popular this week on their specials board! . . word obviously has got round! 😁 I enjoyed the mixed grill which was served with the nicest chips I've ever had - honestly, they are to die for! 😋 The roast potatoes with the hot-pot were the same! I was really pleased that they never charged me for my extra egg! Little touches like that, stick in your mind and puts them above so many other places! 😊 Claire and my daughter Summer, are still going on about how beautiful their meal was! 😍 Thanks again to this lovely friendly pub! See you soon, Nigel and Claire 🙂

Sunday beef dinner was absolutely gorgeous! Food was so tasty! Service was lovely!

Very friendly and welcoming and fantastic food. Will definitely recommend and will definitely call again 😊

10 of us been for dinner food was amazing. Stafe lovely. Nice back ground music. Will be back

Food was good and reasonably priced nice atmosphere and helpful and attentive staff. Service slightly slow, but they were very, very busy. Will definitely go again. Book first.

Took my family for a meal on the new updated menu and we wasn't disappointed it was absolutely lovely all plates cleared and cannot wait to come again the new menu has lots I can't wait to try 😋

Best burger had Would definitely recommend when passing

I took all my Grandchildren to The Gate Inn Christmas breakfast with Santa and it was just fabulous. The staff was so helpful and thoughtful. We had a full English breakfast, visit and Santa and pong rides . The price was fantastic and we they all loved every moment. Well done

Came with friends for a catch up and some food! Really nice 😊

Awsome food and friendly staff. A few wasps kept us on our toes but apart from that we will be going back again minus the wasps that is lol 👍

Took wife for a couple of drinks today in the garden to enjoy the sun Was spoilt by a group sitting in the middle of the garden swearing and shouting and being homophonic towards a certain gent ( think they knew each other) but that doesn’t matter Nobody wants to hear that language in a public House garden Lived here over two years and been using this pub from day one, have to say it is now attracting some very undesirable clientele Also drink prices are a LOT more expensive than the neighbouring pubs !!

Good family pub lovely beer garden with free bouncy castle for the kids.

Went in on Saturday, food was excellent as was the service. The landlord and land lady were brilliant and couldn't do enough for you. There was a disco on later in the night and the atmosphere was brilliant, the music was just the right level and the locals were friendly and a good laugh. Will definitely return.

Lovely beer friendly staff, food not on at the moment but will be coming back to try some when it is.

Great pub, excellent staff and lovely beer garden.

Don't sell food since changed hands, absolutely disgusting it was a beautiful place with the previous management, won't be coming here again... also very rude as she gave me a load of abuse after the original review via Facebook disgusting attitude making loads of false claims .. avoid cause if you ever have a bad experience she will throw a mouthful of abuse at you not professional at all.

Recently visited the gate after bad experience with previous landlord-lady, must say the pub has been turned around and doing really well. Been tidy-up inside and out. Landlady and landlord very pleasant and welcoming. Can't wait to return when they have got the food up and running 😊

Had a great time in the garden with the DJ, Although not our type of music!

Loved sotting outside. New people running it...very lovely. And a warm welcome.x

Just called for a quick drink with the wife, sun out happy days. First time I've tried this place.

They didn't have any real ale on. I had to drink soda water.

Now under new owner, there was no food, very unfriendly, closed very early, won't be back

Had my first meal here since the new landlord and lady took over the Gate Inn it was very nice well presented and served highly recommended.

Incredible place. Great food and hospitality. Always makes for an amazing time.

Took over again, bad pub I don't recommended anymore

Very friendly staff, great food. Jinal

Good and bad news ! The old landlord and landlady have gone , the pub is being run by a lovely lady who has another pub in winshill . She's not able to do food of any description but she did say that a new landlord would be in the pub from " Monday 20th February " the pub would be back to normal and doing food ! Will definitely go back and do a review on the food

Was amazing food lovely friendly staff love the place

Very nice, a lovely place for my mum's funeral wake, nice atmosphere and nice food.

Had a great night at the Gate Inn on New Years Eve, fabulous atmosphere and a great friendly place, all staff and customers were so friendly, definitely going back soon

Lovely pub, plenty of parking, welcoming hosts, food was great.

Brilliant pub, friendly atmosphere

Visited a few times but seems to have gone downhill

Good food good beer good atmosphere what's not to like

Becoming a great place and under new management so hopefully improve further

Walked in and all you could smell was bleach and the urinal. When we got into the eating area we asked if the were serving meals and she shouted to a chap in the far side of the bar and ask him and he just grunted a suppose so. Needless to say we turned round and walked out. This used to be a really nice pub for a meal and a drink but I won't be going back anytime soon. Shame.

Fantastic local pub, taken over and the new landlord is friendly and welcoming. Food good quality and good value for money. Definitely will be returning.

Nice beer garden, pint was spot on.

Nicely decorated,. Friendly staff.

New to the area and have been several times now. Food is really nice and landlady very welcoming. Lovely to have a nice local pub on the doorstep.

This Pub has been taken over and has been done out very nicely, there is an all new great atmosphere with lots going on every week. Went in for a steak tonight and it was so nice, home cooked chips, onion rings and the works. We will be back soon for the northern soul night 👍🏼

Excellent food. Value for money. Lovely staff

Awsome staff and landlady always made too feel welcome . The gate is a lovely pub . Always enjoy our days/nights there .. x

Just been back for first time since pandemic and it's lovely. Had a Brill face-lift, food was great, staff and landlady very welcoming and friendly, will definitely be back soon

Cosy pub nice food enjoyed our time there

Enjoyed our food and staff couldn't do enough for us.

Lovely food and great atmosphere since the new landlady Steph came.

Exelent. Good meal and service. GREAT

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Friendly. Nice sandwiches and great chips!!

Delicious roast dinner however there were no other options for Sunday. And due to there being an incident the night before there were no puddings. I know this wasn't their fault but was a little disappointing. Only found out when ordering desserts. Also the lady serving us didn't know there were no desserts until we asked to see the menu. Could not fault the food we were served.

Very welcoming arrival and a nice place to spend your afternoon ,we'll recommended to others .

Pub took on new ownership in the last two weeks without any information or staff for the Christmas meals to come.. All I can say is hats off to the owner managing to pull off a Christmas meal that had us all leaving very full!! Thank you! :)

Wonderful atmosphere andvery friendly staff.

Excellent piping hot delicious food Extremely pleanant family Birthday meal. Attentive friendly staff

Welcoming...food lovely....prices reasonable...only criticism would be decore needs attention...but otherwise we'll worth a visit 👍🏻

Lovely home cooked food, lovely atmosphere and very welcoming, very polite staff

Lovely environment, been coming here since I was a kid and newest owners/staff are definitely amongst the most friendly and hospitable. Good food, decent value drinks, nice semi-rural setting. Would recommend

I was lucky enough to be invited to a wedding meal here - I had pate and toast to start, roast pork with roast potatoes, peas, carrots and yorkshire pudding for main, and a dessert of ice cream sundae. The staff were excellent, friendly, and as efficient as they could be given the challenge of serving around 40 guests. The food was great too - I've been to several weddings where the standard of food reflects the fact the kitchen is really just trying to churn out the numbers and this really wasn't the case here. Real effort had gone into every plate with attention paid to both the cooking and the presentation. I've only held back one star because due to the number of varieties of meals being served, there were extended periods where I found myself or others politely waiting for the rest of the table to get their meals before being able to start eating. I guess this is the challenge of serving from a relatively smaller kitchen to a large group of guests - it would have been preferable to me to serve table by table rather than dish by dish, but probably impossible to achieve and its not a criticism.

We got married yesterday and had our reception at The Gate Inn and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue. The food was amazing, the staff were amazing. Its a beautiful place with loads of charm. We had a wedding for 43 booked, and there was space, it was close and personal and just wonderful. Ian made our cake too and it was beautiful and tasted great. They are a great team of people and they went out of their way to make our day special. I know I mentioned the food already, but the food is so great that it needs mentioning twice. Ian and Stacey make The Gate a warm and welcoming place to be. Thank for making our day so special.

Food fabulous staff extremely friendly helpful and welcoming We sat outside as lovely evening 🙂

Fantastic place to eat and drink and all staff are friendly. Amazeing food and a great pint.

Food was great and nothing was too much trouble for all the staff. Definitely recommend it.

Service with a smile and food excellent.

Lovely family friendly pub with great pub food and beer. Highly recommended!
