I wish I lived closer to this pub restaurant. Genuinely dog friendly (unusual for a Chef and Brewer), the chicken burger was excellent, friendly staff, water and treats for your dog and also doggy sausage or chicken is available to order.

I arrived at the establishment and was seated in the bar area, which had a designated dog-friendly section. Bailey, our server, promptly approached us to take our drink orders. We inquired about various drink options, and Bailey expertly guided us in selecting the ideal beverages. Chris swiftly delivered our drinks and took our food order. We ordered four starters, which were served promptly, hot, and delicious. Overall, the experience was exceptional. Bailey and Chris demonstrated exceptional engagement and a willingness to accommodate our requests. We look forward to returning to the establishment in the future.

Just had a Sunday roast at The Stanley Gate. Got to say it was one of the best Sunday roasts we have had in a pub. The Yorkshire pud was large light and crispy. We needed more gravy this was no problem for the 2 lads who were waiting on us, no extra charge and served with a smile. The pork loin was juicy and plenty of it and the roasties were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. The veg was cooked to perfection. No difference in price from most pubs and we couldn’t finish it all. It’s a chef and Brewer pub so all you people with Tesco vouchers you can spend them here

I can't help but sing praises for the Stanley Gate Pub – it's become my go-to spot for a memorable dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality that sets the tone. Let's talk about the food – oh, the food! It's nothing short of exceptional. On my recent visit, I indulged in the camembert and chef's board, and let me tell you, it was a culinary delight. Each bite was bursting with flavor, showcasing the skill and dedication of the kitchen team. And don't even get me started on the desserts – just glancing at the new menu had me vowing to save more room for them on my next visit. But what truly sets Stanley Gate apart is the impeccable service. Pauline and Robyn deserve a special mention for their friendly and attentive service. They go above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels welcomed and cared for, adding an extra layer of warmth to the dining experience. In summary, if you're in search of top-notch food and service in a cozy, inviting atmosphere, look no further than the Stanley Gate Pub. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a culinary gem that never fails to impress. Kudos to the entire team at Stanley Gate – you've won me over as a loyal patron, and I'll most certainly be back next week!!

We stubbled across this place by mistake, but wow lucky we did because it was fantastic. I don’t write many reviews, but this place not only deserves it, but a place that we will definitely return too. We were greeted with a warm smile and genuine interest in how we were. The food was fresh and of great quality, we left full and contented. Service was prompt, the staff asked if everything was okay a couple of times with real sincerity, if only all restaurants were like this. The inside is not just clean and well laid out, it is modern, but yet inviting. I am fortunate to eat out most weeks, if only every place I go to was as good as this.

We went for our first meal in 8 months since my illness. We were greeted and seated. After choosing our food settled down and enjoyed the atmosphere. Also being out was a new exeperiance and so a ot to take in. The two guys who were serving were Bailly and Adam who were very attentive - making sure we had a drink first - and giving us time to choose from the two menu sheets which was difficult as there was so much to choose - so we eventually did make a selection and it arrived hot and very tempting. Then after we had finished our meal we were talking with Bailly and he told us about saving some money ( as I had stomach surgery in 2009 I cannot eat much) which to me was gratifying and very helpful. To conclude quality food at a reasonable price in a great atmosphere.

Great food, great service, lovely building on the inside, twice we have been recently, and we loved it. Not many customers, though, while we we there both times, I don't know if this is due to the Stanley Gates location or because it's a little on the pricey side.

We visited The Stanley Gate yesterday as I took Mum to celebrate Mother's Day and we were waited upon by Rebecca who was absolutely brilliant. We we were seated at a lovely table for 2 in a bay window which was perfect for us as the area really did enable us to have a really good chat as it was very private given there was only one table in the bay window area. Rebecca was very attentive but certainly not overbearing, she was both warm and friendly, and she carried out her duties in such a lovely way and perfectly, all in all we received a first class service from her. Rebecca is a credit to yourselves.

Love this pub chain. The food in the pub is lovely. In truth, I'm dairy intolerant, and they do a steak and ale pie and a chocolate tart with vegan ice cream, which are to die for without having the worry of spending the night on the crapper.

Food was really nice, but a little bit cold when it came out, but the service was excellent and the waiter couldn’t have been any nicer or helpful. The drinks were lovely as well, they have a great selection of beers on tap, wines and soft drinks. It was lacking atmosphere in there but it made up for how nice it looks on the inside. But I guess coming on a Friday lunchtime that’s sort of to be expected. But overall was a great visit and I do recommend!

We bought meals for two adults and two young children at the start of December, two meals being from the festive menu (three courses for around £28). The Yorkshire puddings were rock hard and the sprouts were raw....we still were charged a whopping £91-odd despite parts of the meal being inedible. We will be finding somewhere else to eat next week..... Shame as I've been going to The Stanley Gate on and off for the past 30 years, being a local for part of that time, and the staff and general atmosphere is really good.

I recently visited with a group of friends for a meal and we were all really impressed with the quality of the food. We all had two courses each. I opted for the lasagne with chips and salad. It was fantastic. Two had sea bass and the other ordered the mixed grill which was a huge portion. We were all really tempted by the extensive choices on the dessert menu. I had the chocolate brownie which has got to be one of the most delicious puddings I have had for a long time. It was devine! Served with ice cream and loads of chocolate sauce! Service was good. A little slow at times but they were very busy as they had a Burn’s Night special menu on too. A very pleasant man took our order (didn’t get his name!) but he was sociable and welcoming. Other staff lacked his enthusiasm but overall was fine. Have already booked to come back as I enjoyed it so much.

We bought meals for two adults and two primary aged children. Two of the meals came from the festive menu, priced at around £28 for three courses. We opted for roasts. The Yorkshire puddings were rock hard , tasted of cardboard and were therefore inedible. The sprouts were undercooked (tasting crisp and raw) and we're also therefore inedible. We were charged for the entire meals despite this, costing a whopping £91-odd. Phew, after picking myself up off the floor, we'll be looking for somewhere else to eat next time.....

Chicken strip starter was delicious. Me and my husband had mushrooms on toast or should i say mushroom (2 pieces of soggy garlic bread with what looked like 1½ mushrooms thinly sliced on top of both pieces. Really disappointed! We all had Venison which was underseasoned well done, not medium rare like we asked for. We didn't bother with dessert. We asked for several drinks with NO ice. One mistake is ok, but to say please remember NO ice and they bring drinks with ice in AGAIN is down right annoying. They need to be more attentive with table service. They took our empty glasses away and didn't ask if we wanted more drinks, we had to call them back and so did the other table. They brought food before our cutlery even though staff were stood around the bar area doing nothing. On leaving they gave us the wrong bill. When we said something they said it would take a few days for us to get our money back, so we basically paid two bills. Will not be returning!
