Gate in Tamworth

We had a lovely visit for Sunday Lunch with our dog Ruby. We had pre booked a dog friendly table. We were greeted pleasantly, our drinks were ordered efficiently as was our food. We thought it was very good how they are using one till for drinks and one for food- saves the drinkers waiting. Our Sunday dinners were presented very well and were delicious and hot. The landlady Vicky, all the staff and customers were very friendly.

Only people in the pub waiting for food...nearly an hour wait before being told the steak we'd ordered was taking time to cook...it was ordered rare so god knows what the hell was going on!! Starter of sharing platter of wings were brought to the table without any plates or cutlery and we were asked if there aas anything else we needed!! Staff looked bemused and awkward...

Great pub with a fun quiz on Tuesdays. Food is lovely as well!

Busy and clean. Wasn't many peeps inside but plenty of peeps outside enjoying the sun next to the Coventry canal. Did not have food. Don't do thatchers 0% which would of been nice.

Stayed on carpark in motorhome. Carling excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. Next to canal. Will go back again.

I used to be a regular here, take the dog a walk along the canal then stop here for a drink and some food. Sadly now the parking restrictions are in place, I’m not sure this will still be possible?

We only had a drink so the food rating only covers the drinks. The staff were friendly. Nice to sit by the canal on a sunny afternoon

Good location for an overnight with a motorhome Food ok. Staff busy but very friendly

The Gate laid on a bespoke afternoon tea with finger sandwiches and excellent scones. Quality of ham (local?) was remarked on a few times. Helpful and attentive service plus a pleasant canalside setting- all at a good value price.

Just wanna stay staff were brilliant, so attentive and caring. Honestly food wise it is extremely basic and it’s kinda what most pubs around Tamworth offer now. It’s not bad it’s just basic.

I wish I had never come here, we only came here because the road to our normal restaurant was closed but oh boy what a mistake it was to go here, the table was sticky and there isn’t even a kid’s menu, the menus had weird stuff from food stuck onto them, and outside it gets worse because there’s a playground with only 1 slide nothing else but a tree stump. Service was too slow

Friendly bar, offering affordable food options, beautiful outside setting alongside the canel. Pub quiz Tuesday and bingo Thursday lunch brings in the punters Good place

No hot food is available on the day we visited

Nice food . reasonable prices and sat by canal..

What a great find! Set back from the road and right on the canal, a quintessentially British pub with a warm welcome, fab pub grub, welcoming locals and extra caring staff. Spacious restaurant and beer garden, back bar for the regular drinking trade, landlady is 10/10. I work in hospitality and I will say the beer was the best I've had in a long time, she really must know her stuff. I will definitely be returning very soon!!!

Love this place, friendly staff, great atmosphere, and when the very rare sign of sunshine is out, the outside is great, watching the narrow boats go past is just so peaceful. All the bar staff are so friendly, I have a little banter with Sophie.x

Lovely pub with friendly staff and great beer! Food is always top notch.

Great canal side pub, great for a summer trip.

Outstanding service, with amazing food!!

Fantastic as always! Been here while the sun has been shining and fantastic bar staff and food is amazing! Lovely setting by the canal.

1st time coming in with my husband Ben wow what a place pleasant welcome,clean, good options of drinks and food is amazing the team make the place so happy big well done to the team and the management will definitely will be returning and will be recommending to everyone thanks again

We meet up once a month. We are all exceptionally deaf and it's lovely to be able to converse without background music. Food very good. Staff helpful.

This place has had its ups and downs over the years but it's certainly on an up now. We only had drinks today but the food we saw coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic. Super friendly staff too. Update May 24 : Still a great place to be. Breakfast burger is well recommend especially with a pint of Aspell's.

Takes too long for food stupid pub

We come here quite often staff are lovely we feel welcome. The food has always been lovely and worth the money. Setting is lovely next to the canal. Would definitely recommend

Food was basic & badly cooked. Came for evening with friends, couldn't even talk when band was on as couldn't hear each other. This used to be a lovely place for a meal but now it's just your basic local pub!!

After waiting 1 hour and 10 mins to get our food my fish was cooked to the inch of its life. Batter was rock hard fish inside was dry.

Mother’s Day meal courtesy of my son. Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Would recommend this venue to the world, staff are very accommodating and friendly. Thank you for making my wife’s meal a memorable one ❤️❤️

Great place for all functions ,looked after and catered full brilliantly.

The food was pretty basic, my friend had the lamb hot pot which was really tasty but the portion size was too small.

Over night stop in motohome, brilliant service Very friendly staff good food, would definitely recommend it for a Over night stop

Very friendly staff and customers. Plus my partners favourite dog who greets us with a wagging tail. Every time we visit for lunch.

We visit Tamworth to see family,an the Gate is our go to pub the food and service is top notch. Our Sunday roast was outstanding. Well done to Vicky, Chloe and all them.

Beautiful And Very Nice Pub Must Visit

Great place, it's our go to for a good meal and great beer. The kids love it too which always makes life easier

The pub is lovely but the food wasnt great. We had mushroom starter which was served in teeny tiny dishes. We couldnt use a fork to eat as they were so hard and super hot ( I burned my lip biting into one) The sauce was drizzled on rather than in a separate dish which made it messy to eat with our fingers. The main was on very small plates so was difficult manovering the food we had. I was a bit disappointed. I think bigger plates/dishes and a bit of garnish wouldnt go a miss. Sorry The pub is lovely though

Highly recommend, wonderful staff and food was to perfection

I found this pub on google maps, and been wanting to try it for awhile. So I finally got the chance to go on Friday 12th January 2024, and it was a lovely experience. Friendly staff, dog friendly pub too and very tasty and delicious food. I started with the Buttermilk chicken strips and popcorn chicken, they were piping hot, crispy and juicy. And for my main course, I had the Ultimate Southern Fried Chicken Burger with chips, it also came with a pot of burger sauce and a little gravy boat of chicken gravy. And I could couldn’t resist a side order of Onion Rings. It was champion. I was very pleased with the overall experience, I think it was great value for money, lovely atmosphere, and looking forward to my next visit.

Excellent pre Christmas Family Dinner. Excellent service and really good value for money..

The food was excellent and the waiting staff were polite and friendly would recommend the gate to my friends

What amazing service! A bitterly cold and damp December day, we needed to find somewhere to meet up with family who are in this country for a limited time. I have been very poorly and freshly out of hospital I can't take the risk of any infection by mingling indoors with people so we settled down at a table in the pub garden, hoping the rain held off. Family went in to order and a team member carried my steaming cup of hot chocolate out for them. I thanked her and she clearly understood why we were outside (hubby wore a mask going in to order) A few moments later she came back out to explain the back bar had only one customer in it and we could sit at the other end in the warm and feel safely away from germs. We moved indoors, thoroughly enjoyed our food and were able to spend longer together with family than would have been possible out in the cold. Precious moments indeed. Thank you so much to that lady for understanding the situation and suggesting a fix for it. We will be eternally grateful.

Lovely warm staff, excellent food. Will definitely be going back.

A great family friendly place to enjoy a drink and the food is excellent.

Great pub nice atmosphere and fair price for the food.

Fantastic pub, the staff are great, banter brilliant and always a warm welcome

Always a friendly welcome, really tasty, good value food, good menu & a specials board. Good selection of drinks including cask ales, canal side pub with lovely garden area adjacent to the canal with a small park for the kids.

No complaints....decent Sunday roast.

Lovely pub very friendly staff and good food. Overnight here in our motorhome before going to Statfold Barn

Staff very friendly and sunday roast was excellent. Lovely pub and excellent beer garden overlooking the canal.

Lovely pub, great food and cracking service from the friendly stqff

had fantastic meals kids and adult mac n cheese mixed grill bigger appetite fish and chips, pick your own kids sausage mash well worth it and tokens for bottle offers for adults good evening needs better park for kids but barges passing by made it great for kids.

Great place for a pint and and bite to eat right next to the Canal. Good food, draught beers, good location and good service. Prices are good too. Shady outside under the large Willow on a hot day.

Nice pub, on the canal which is a nice setting and can be accessed via the canal if you were on a walk and fancied a drink or a bit to eat. The food was average but tasty. Would recommend the sticky toffee pudding and the mixed grill. Would not recommend the hallumi fries they were not what we expected. Good selection of drinks at the bar good beer and cider on draft.

Meals are excellent and not to pricey. Fillet steak was nice.

I go here every Friday with my dad for coffee after shopping. The service is always excellent, with friendly staff. It's always a pleasant atmosphere with a country feel charm. Well done to staff, making my memories with my dad count.

Lived in Tamworth for 2 years. First time here, pudding just arrived, table 10. Fantastic friendly pub, first class food, will be returning again and again 👌

Great atmosphere. Wonderful service and food is always good

Nice place for a drink and something to eat

Love this place, the food is great, the staff very attentive and a good atmosphere.

Terrific Pub Stop-over, level car park friendly staff, good beer & wines selection, good home made food, next to the Coventry Canal.

Nice place to chill out and freindly atmosphere

Always enjoy my experience at the gate, it's clean, lovely people, friendly staff and such a beautiful spot to drink in the garden by the canal.

Excellent meal and service, staff friendly and welcoming.

A very nice pub. Good food, drinks, nice environment with cheerful staffs. You can enjoy an afternoon there, next to the canal.

Atmosphere and staff really good, food ok but my hunters chicken, the chicken was burned really hard underneath and difficult to cut and eat, having said that my husband really enjoyed his meal of fish and chips, maybe just unfortunate my meal wasn't cooked just right but wouldn't put me off from going again for another meal.

I asked if bird poo could be cleaned off of the table before I ate . Well you would have thought that I asked for a deep clean to be done .. “ I am not going to clean bird poo off of the tables everyday “ said an employee of the pub . Maybe it is time This pub had its hygiene classification reviewed . Will I be back NO , but I think that they won’t really care .

Very nice place! The atmosphere is very friendly and the view is amazing! Fave place for the summer! ✨️👌🏻

I come here every Tuesday night for the quiz with the family, its always a good night and the food is spot on and reasonably priced.

I just love this pub, i always get the same welcome and the weeping willow overlooking the canal is a great way to unwind

Nice location, good food, reasonable prices

Brilliant meal with friends service was excellent management very friendly made to feel very welcome food lovely .

Had a fantastic meal Thursday lunch time , very friendly staff and they accommodate my fussy diet. Thank you I will be visiting most weeks.

Staff were really cheerful and helpful. That is key to me wanting to go somewhere for a drink or food. We specifically went for the quiz as we hadn't been for 12 months due to commitments. The quiz was well organised and the host (Vicky I think) made it enjoyable. There is a wide range of drinks on offer, and although we weren't eating, the food looked amazing.
