Noisy with kids crying and screamy drunken gen z. Atmosphere, zero. Food was over cooked with the base burnt yet the crust edge perfect, topping a bit mean. Staff were lovely. I was here before and didn't like it then but thought I'd give it another try. Was a good local pub in its day, wish it was again. Nope, won't go back. Better eateries elsewhere in Whitefield.

Looks great inside, clean and tidy. Great staff but one young member of staff was lacking in customer care skills. Took glasses away with drinks left in them Food great, Pizza delicious. Unfortunately, people vaping are not challenged. Our group found the woman sat near vaping away with her duck bill lips quite offensive, staff ignored it. Not the first time. Very annoying as it puts us of returning. Such a shame as it’s a great pub albeit holts bar prices have gone up a lot. Sort the above and you’ll get top reviews.

Been meaning to try since the refurb. My friend and I were meeting up and she suggested the place as it was near to where she was exiting the motorway. Neither of us knew that it was a “pizza joint” and we were looking for more of a meal experience., but agreed to try it and see. It was Friday lunchtime and were surprised to find ourselves the only customers. We were presented with a small piece of paper with a very limited number of choices of pizzas...this was the menu! I have seen a wider choice in basic Italian restaurants. On enquiring if there was a dessert menu, we were told there wasn’t, but that the waitress could tell us what was available. Throughout our time in there, it was absolutely freezing with a draught blowing on my back...it was a cool day, but actually warmer outside..don’t know if this was over zealous aircon. I had ordered a Margarita and I have never had a pizza completely devoid of taste as the one I got...not a trace of mozzarella..no oregano...it was really dreadful. The staff were pleasant enough..the decor is lovely, but I have had tastier take away pizzas. I wouldn’t go there again if it was free.

Decided on the spur of the moment to try it out as a local pub. Family of five - and I am the one that does not like pizza generally - especially the 'big name' delivery boys (too much cheese and grease !!). Impressed with the service and atmosphere. Landlord could not do enough for us. For me, one of the best pizza I have ever had and will come here again rather than order a take away !!!

I remember the old Goats Gate; little local with real ales and bar food. This one only serves pizza and no real ales. The pint was good, they will still have good cellars, but the food was disappointing. The pizza was overcooked. The three cheeses had fused into a dry mass that tasted only of scorched cheddar. Mozzarella? Where was the stringyness? Italian hard cheese? No idea, no taste. The sauce came from a tin, the base scorched and burnt on one side with a taste and texture like cardboard. A base that isn't round doesn't make it any better; this is hardly "artisan". The whole meal came to under a tenner. With that I could have gone to Forts of India and bought a dish that would have lasted two days at home. Or gone to BBQ Land and had a real good, tasty proper pizza. The staff didn't seem to know what was going on, they weren't busy but my asking for a meal seemed to have been missed and I was asked to pay for my drink before I ordered food. Oh, did you want a menu? No one came to check up if everything was ok. I would have told them. This isn't my first visit to Goats Gate but it certainly is the last. I was disappointed at the previous visit and wish I hadn't gone this time.

Tonight was my first occasion coming to the goats gate I live in the area and I have been meaning to hop in for some food for quite some time however i haven’t got round to it. I went to watch the football and asked to sit inside if possible and I was left to my own devices on choosing what seat I would like to sit down on which was great. After sitting down a member of staff made me aware that the volume was on in the back room if I wished to move into that room to watch the football which I did. I ordered the deal on the menu which was promoted by the member of staff which was great and I had the spicy beef pizza and two pints for £12 which you can’t complain. On ordering the drinks the service was great and drinks were provided to me efficiently without any waiting around. It was that good I ended up staying for both matches of the footy and will definitely be returning and making this my new local. Cheers guys.

Had already gone past here several times in the car and had heard that they had recently opened up again after a post-lockdown refurbishment. Heard that they they had a 'new' pizza menu and was pleasantly surprised by the so-called 'bespoke' pizzas on offer here during a Euro 2020 Wales vs Switzerland afternoon visit with a colleague. I chose the 'spicy beef' pizza and was a little surprised by what then subsequently arrived with respect to the size (small) and lack of toppings vs what had actually been previously described on the food menu. On ordering another pint of Crystal Diamond, the manager 'Derek' proceeded to think he was actually being 'humorous' or indeed trying to mock me in saying that he thought that 1) 'my watch looked fake', and that he thought that I had 'bought it recently up at Strangeways'. Usually, I do not take such comments to heart, albeit in this case I was particularly offended, especially since I had already spent a fair bit of money as a paying customer there and I also believe his comments were completely UNNECESSARY and unjust!! After a few moments of reflection on what had just transpired, I decided to wait for him to return to the dining area and then call him out on this, and then following his frankly quite pathetic attempt at an 'apology' told him that I had actually been grossly offended by his comments. He replied quite flippantly back with'thats all I can do' and then he and made a final parting comment to me, before leaving, that he was 'extremely busy', which again left me completely gobsmacked and open-mouthed. Am wondering where this Derek has learned his obnoxious, disgraceful 'customer service' from, as it is now fairly obvious to me that he has had very limited experience in dealing with people in a customer servces setting. It left a nasty taste in the mouth and as a direct result I would also be extremely dubious about returning after receiving such treatment!! Avoid this Derek at all costs, as he is obviously doing the establishment in where he works a great disservice with his frankly uncouth mouth and behaviour!!

I am absolutely mortified at the state of the customer service in this place. The so called manager VAL, needs some lessons in grace and decorum and general customer service skills because the way I was spoken to was disgusting. I am a loyal paying customer and was made to feel like a second class citizen in an supposedly friendly local pub close to my home that family regularly visit. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING. And I would advise strongly that others follow my lead.

Have been in The Goats Gate quite a few times and always had a good time in there. However the past 3 times I have been, I have been refused entry. I attempted to go in on the final day before lockdown began in high spirits, but my early evening was swiftly ruined after being refused entry. Was made to feel rather annoyed as I spent plenty of time getting there and arrived with plenty of time in the day left. I understand not being able to go in in big groups, but me and my friend only wanted a quiet pint and food to watch the football.

Our concern was with it now being table service we’d be waiting but Christine was great and made sure we were looked after and made our visit a pleasurable one. I’d recommend the pizza here as it’s always fresh and very reasonable. All the team that we’re on we’re attentive without being intrusive. Thanks for a nice night!

I made a mistake after a long day, and i was sure i had paid with a bigger note than i got change for. I wasn't flustered until they were nasty to me. I could have just checked my wallet again and seen the larger note in there. I thought it had been all i had on me. If i was treated decently like i was treating them, the whole scene would have been avoided where i was trying to explain my certainty. Would have preferred them not being nasty to me when they told me i used a smaller bill, so i would have naturally listened to the fact as stated and not just responded to the sneery treatment with a sense of injustice. Otherwise would have been a great place to write poetry. I busted out three poems in fifteen minutes that i was happy with. Didn't even finish half my beer. Now i am banned for being confused.
