Should have known when the car park was empty on arrival 😲 Food was horrendous... Loaded fries ....oh dear...smallest dish ever ..chips pale and almost cold..cheese sauce was congealing....just a soggy mess really....steak and cheese ciabatta...same deal . Won't be back ,ever.

Excellent value for your money. I had the pensioner two course meal. £6.99 can't go wrong at that price.

We went for late lunch so the pub was almost empty, hence the atmosphere rating.. staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was lovely and very well priced. Nice hot plates and the pub itself was cosy warm..would definitely visit again..on exit the car park was full which might put you off but this was apparently parents picking up school kids so don't be put off and perhaps avoid school finish time.. Nice that the landlord allows this

This Greene King pub is nice enough décor wise but could do with a refurb. The food was very good and served relatively quickly. Drinks range was a little short as several real ale pumps were turned around. Pub was very short staffed for a Sunday lunchtime but the staff on deck were doing a splendid job. Happy to recommend. Only downer was the children running around screaming, but sadly that's down to the parents and not the pub.

I have been to The Gatehouse many times in the last 30 years, and it has gone through a few changes in ownership over those years! The current owners are warm and welcoming and the food, as well as being very reasonably priced, is as good as it has ever been! It has now gone to the top of my places to eat out for the first time in many years. I highly recommend it.

Pro's : It's a nice pub, the food is nice but average, staff are friendly & the facilities are all clean, it has an outdoor play area for kids and a lot of outdoor seating, it has two seating areas, one of which is the bar and the rest is for dining! It's very nice. Cons: The food pricing needs to be looked at as some of the prices are far too high for the food standard.

I must sing the praise of the young lady behind the bar with glasses & light hair, she did an absolutely sterling job dealing with our party of 14 people. She interacts with customers SO well deciding on drinks & in very trying circumstances with shortages of dishes, she was brilliant. Food was good especially the Katsu curry everyone enjoyed

Came tonight with a groupon voucher. Took 10 minutes to get served as there was only one staff member running around. I was the only person at the bar and he did not even acknowledge me! I presented a groupon voucher. He scanned it twice and told me it didn't work. He really had no clue, asked him what drinks were in the offer he had no clue!! So we walked out the pub to go somewhere that would welcome us rather than here! 10 minutes later I check my groupon on the voucher has been redeemed. What a joke!! Rude staff... Will be complaining to groupon and getting a refund

I had the lasagne which was lovely with garlic bread and my husband had the fish which was cooked to perfection. We will return to try out more of the menu.

We went to the gatehouse 7th august for lunch I ordered my favourite meal which is steak and ale pie , I’m sorry but the pastry on the pie was that hard and over cooked that I couldn’t cut it with my knife and fork,. I thought that it was perhaps me but someone else on another table had the same and he also left the pastry , sorry but not a very good experience

Fancied a pub lunch and thought we would come here. I used to come here drinking in my younger years before heading into Newcastle, it was the meet up place. So walking through the doors 37 years later was a walk back into time. Obviously it's changed, but the reminders were there. It was quiet, which mid week I didn't expect it to be bursting at the seams. We both had Ciabatta sandwiches and sides plus a drink which were really nice. I had the sweet chilli chicken and my wife had the steak and cheese. The lady behind the bar was lovely and her service was excellent. We had a natter about my time here all those years ago and agreed that it should be more like 37 days not 37 years before our next visit. I think it would be the sooner rather than the later else they'll be serving food at my wake. Would recommend definitely

The interior was beautiful, the food was lovely but it was let down by the service taking a while to deliver the food after ordering. Ordered vegetarian sausages to be bought out normal ones because ‘there were no vegetarian ones’ even though they were on the menu? The ‘play area’ looks like an after thought and really, it brings it down. Overall, A nice pub, nice food but slow inconsistent service and construction site for a playground.

Not been here for a long time, and pleasantly surprised for a 'chain pub'. Good selection on menu, at sensible prices. Anyone else finding that pubs at large are keeping the heat off these days, though, not just this one? We didn't take coats off but it didn't spoil our meal or our time. Dog friendly .. specific areas for dogs/owners. Items for dogs in menu even!

Visited the Gatehouse on Thursday,hadn't been for quite a while but after hearing good things decided to give it a go...and we weren't disappointed. Great atmosphere and attentive staff from the moment we arrived,certainly a massive improvement on our last visit a few years ago. They'd recently had a new menu launch. Me and my wife had the smashed burgers which were delicious,the in-laws both opted for the steaks and were equally impressed with the quality and value. We are certainly returning over the bank holiday with friends and would highly recommend the Gatehouse to anyone 🍻👍
