The Gait Inn in York

Been quite alot to The Gait, we went for evening meal and wasn't disappointed. Sat in front area, lovely fire going. Nice atmosphere in pub. Good choice of real ales. Good menu and special board available. Had the partridge starter ,it was delicious. Main I choose the lamb rump and the rosemary and garlic gravy was so tasty. All your meals did not disappoint. Staff very friendly. Well worth a visit.

Very pleasant typical village Inn and with traditional decor and cozy seating. The food was generally good, although the pork was a bit tough. Shared veg was enough as long as you're not a big eater. Sunday lunch was £13-50 which was decent value in my opinion. We sat in the conservatory area around the long table as we were a party of 10. The service was prompt and efficient. If I didn't live so far away, I would probably return.

Lovely pub. Had a prawn Marie rose sauce sandwich with chips and salad, other half had the hot roast beef sandwich with gravy. Both delicious.

First vist and will not be the last. Excellent menu and drinks, not long to wait. Food lovely and tasty, too much to have a dessert. Highly reccomend, please book.

Quick half enjoyed outside during a hike. The pub was closing but the landlord let us finish our drinks outside.

Lovely local pub, food was terrific. Staff were helpful friendly and went the extra mile. Very pleased we visited.

The best steak pie I have ever tasted, will be back soon

10/10 recommend. We both had the steak and it was cooked to perfection - one of the best cooked steaks I’ve had in a pub/restaurant, whole meal was fantastic from starters to puddings. Was also amazed at the value for money. Will definitely be recommending and returning. Visited on Saturday the 10th of August.

We came with family for dinner. The range of beers was good; the menu was extensive and the specials board had a good selection on it. The service was perfect - they gave us time to look at what we wanted and repeated back to us what we had requested. When the food came it was well presented, hot and wholesome.

Proper country boozer in a stunning location

The food is amazing here and so is the ale. Lovely friendly staff too.

Week day visit for lunch. Great menu. Weather was very kind - sunny and warm. Licensee and colleagues were lovely. Sat in the garden for the meal with beautiful views of the wolds. Food was great. Couldn't manage a dessert. Really like this pub.

We didnt have any food but stopped for a drink on our walk. Nice service and good choice of bevrages

Great little pub!! Called in on Sunday for a pint as the weather was nice!! Good choice of beer and lager, I went for the Black Sheep as it is a favourite of mine!! Reasonably priced as well at £3.80 I noticed the food looked nice so might have to come back to try the food in the near future.

Good staff,,good food and a really good atmosphere.

Had a walk from Bishop Wilton to Millington. Such a wonderful friendly place, the choice of menu were varied and the special board offered something different, which was excellent. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we will go again

Friendly pub. Food not fancy but good and well priced

Had a beautiful Sunday lunch here today. Generous serving of lovely tender beef and fresh cooked veg were delicious with plenty of tasty gravy. Very pleasant staff looked after us. Great value - I would highly recommend. We will definitely return.

Sunday Roast £13.50 washed down with a pint of Ossett Blonde. Plate of veggies not in photo. Outside tables to the front and nice beer garden to the rear. I liked it.

Four of us had planned a midweek walk in the Wolds and booked the Gait Inn at Millington for a mid way lunch stop. It proved to be an excellent choice. The Gait Inn is a tradition characterful pub with plenty of options for eating, either in the bar, the restaurant, tables out on the front, or a sheltered beer garden at the back. Although it was nice and cosy inside with fires in the bar and restaurant we were still warm from our walk and chose to eat outside in the beer garden. We all thought the food was great quality and very tasty. The wine and beer were also very good indeed. The service was excellent, everyone was relaxed, friendly and efficient. We left the pub and continued on our walk feeling that we'd had a lovely lunch stop that had been great value for money ....I wish the Gait Inn was my local!

It was my birthday today so I thought I would treat myself to dinner. Went to the Gait inn, lovely place in Millington. So quiet and peaceful. I decided to sit out and you could almost hear a pin drop. Service was excellent and food first rate, I really enjoyed it and though I am now completely stuffed it was well worth it.

Had a lovely 2 course meal here with my Husband, whilst staying in Whilton Bishop. Quality ingredients, delicious food & drink & value for money. Left with full & satisfied tummies & eagerness to visit again to try the rest of the menu.

Excellent gluten free fish and chips last night as usual, Big gf yorkie pud next time I reckon 🙂

Had lunch out here a couple of weeks ago, the journey there was so lovely we wish we'd brought our walking boots to explore the area a little more. Parking was good. Good choice of seating areas. We ordered lunch, my hubster had chicken goujons which looked delicious with a perfectly crisp batter and apparently tasted scummy too. The GF onion rings were yum with perfectly light crispy batter. I ordered the GF fish and chips which were honestly disappointing to look at as not a whole piece of fish as expected but came as 2 strips, the batter was pale, heavy, uninteresting and flat! The batter was definitely not the best but the fish itself was nice. The chips and peas were just yummy. I also ordered the GF dessert of sticky toffee pudding which I can say was the best. Of course as usual, I didn't want to say anything or complain as if I did then my hubster would be eating lunch on his own until mine was prepped and served! The staff were absolutely great, couldn't have been more lovely, We will probably visit again and give the GF option a second chance, as family who are also GF have visited and shown us pics of their GF fish n chips which looked so delicious...fingers crossed next time 😊

Authentic village pub with a lovely warm and friendly atmosphere. Great staff, menu and food.

Shared a fantastic meal. Lovely place

Beautiful old village pub great food and dog friendly 😀

Steak pie was not good at all. We went on a week night and all three of us were very dissapointed. On reflection I wish I had returned my meal. Eating out is expensive to be served food below expectation. However Sunday lunch some weeks earlier was delicious

Had our yearly lunchtime get together with 30 plus friends and as per normal it was amazing. The food and service was excellent Dan, Harriet and all their staff were spot on and looked after us all. Thank you very much and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

A nice cosy country pub with great decorations and friendly staff. However the food was average for the price, the beef stroganoff was bland and needed more flavour

Pub was recommended during a week long stay in Huggate. We stopped here for steak and chips; Hubby had Fillet I had RIbeye. Forgot to take photo as we were so hungry!. Came with real onion rings, mushrooms, peas and chips, tasted awesome! Had a brownie for pudding and as Hubby and I were doing dry January it was great that they had 0% Guiness and 0% Gordons. This is a real country pub and were dog friendly. We did also clock the Fish & Chips for another table and that looked absolutely amazing too!

Lovely place for lunch after a Sunday stroll ! Very nice and obliging staff.

Lovely food and great beer selection. Great atmosphere with excellent staff. Always a great place to have a drink after a nice walk in a beautiful location

This is our 2nd visit to here we went for Christmas Eve Dinner well what can I say if I could give this place 10 stars I would. The food was hot amazing and so delicious all the staff worked so hard to make our evening so special we had a fantastic evening thank you so much to our waitress Georgina who was fantastic with us I been in York for 7 years and never knew about this little gem of a pub and village till this year existed now I will be making regular trips here. TBH the meal I had tonight was one of the best Christmas Dinners I have ever had out. Please visit here you will not be disappointed

Excellent food and great service, definitely worth a visit

Work Christmas meals, great time and service.

Perfect start to the Christmas season with Fine Fayre and Friends at this wonderful pub. Superb house cooked food served promptly and with a smile. We're all returning in February as a group, looking forward to our visit already!

Shared a wonderful time here with great friends

Had sunday lunch Pub and staff were warm and welcoming Lunch was excellent Will return Thanks for a pleasant experience

Yer lovely cosy pub with good ales n some banging food. It's nice to see a different variety of meals on the menu. Was needed after a nine n half mile walk ; ohh n the coal fire was great deffo go back there again. Xj

Great food and atmosphere. The perfect country pub.

Dropped in and had a lovely welcome, a table was soon sorted for us in the restaurant and our menu choices taken. Service was great as was the lunch, only slight complaint was the Lamb was over cooked. Everything else was perfect and exceptional value.

Since we were in a large group at lunchtime we were place in the larger room away from the bar which was fine. Service was good and efficient. Menu choice was good and there was vegetarian choices too. There was also sandwich choices. Beer was excellent. Always happy to go to the Gait Inn

What a fortunate village to have such a place!

We absolutely love this place, running a business at home. We love to escape to The Gait Inn on a Saturday or Sunday to recharge and unwind. We get this and more here. Summer or winter, the pub is so pretty and inviting, especially on those cold winter days. The log burners are a true welcome. Thank you from the Long family!

Love the food here, the steak pie is an evolution on Stuart's legendary pie, and delicious for it. The pub is a firm local favourite, good selection of beers too.

Lovely pub, full to the brim and amazing drinks. We didn't eat but saw the food and it looked amazing. Good views and friendly staff.

Lovely place, great food, friendly staff, gravy to die for 😋 good prices too. Pictured is a hot beef baguette and a Sunday roast. Highly recommended

Cracking food in a wonderful location

The staff were very nice.My beef and potatoes pie was great. They also have a large beer garden

This is our usual for Sunday dinner as we walk from Pock. Staff are terrific, great selection of beers and the food is fantastic. There's nothing better after sunday dinner than to sit back and relax in the big beer garden and gaze up at Whinny Hill!

Visited this lovely little pub on a recommendation and found the food excellent and the black sheep beer was the same . What a lovely place tooled away .

The Gait Inn was recommended to us by two [separate] people so we went for Sunday lunch with high expectations. It is definitely popular. The surroundings are lovely and the staff were very welcoming and efficient. But the Sunday lunch was quite disappointing. All of us had to add salt [something I never do normally] to get flavour. The Yorkshire puddings were overcooked and chewy. There were not enough vegetables. The cost [£12] is very appealing but one felt it was cooked to a budget. Decidedly average and, sadly, disappointing. I doubt we will return, but if we do .............. please would someone make sure they have cleaned the toilets, thoroughly, before opening the pub? The mirror, especially, hasn't been cleaned in a goodly while.

The Kindling Club visited last night and were treated to a superb evening by the owners and staff of this great pub in the Wolds. The Beer and food were superb and the staff could not do anymore to make a lovely sociable evening.

Good food at a reasonable price....great service..will be going again Have been numerous times since and never disappointed. Great good quality and tasting food at a very reasonable price...what's not to like! Also lovely beer garden for those warm sunny days

Had a great lunch with friends for my hubby's 60th birthday.. superb food ' services. Great place, love it & great beer garden.. plenty of outdoor space to sit too.

We eat out regularly and at least once a month in the Pocklington area. Having eaten several times at the Gait Inn, we booked again in August. My husbands scampi was fine even if not great but my meal was dreadful. I'd ordered a beef and potato pie but what I got was what looked like stewing steak- no potato with a pastry top. The meat was tough and bitter and the pieces varied from very, very hot to lukewarm- in my experience the sort of result you get from a microwave. I ate less than a quarter of the whole meal and refused to pay. The young waitress was very pleasant and asked if I wanted to speak to the chef- I didn't see the point and declined. Such a pity that we don't feel able to return as we like to support local business. Whether it's the cost of living that's resulting in poorer ingredients/cheaper cooking methods, I don't know but the end result is a meal that's just not worth having- we'd rather pay more for a decent meal.

Lovely place with lovely staff. The food was also great but it did take a long time to get someone to take our order and serve us. Free parking out back.

Family meal for seven. Very good service. As usual nice quality bar meal would recommend.

Just been there with Bridlington Road Runners 🏃‍♂️ had a run then a pint and A pork sandwich with chips fab

Stopped here for a bite to eat and had a Super meal, nice atmosphere in pub, great surroundings to get out for a walk.

Lovely old pub with quite a wide menu . Excellent local beer

A great meal in a relaxed place

me and afew friends went to the gait Inn the other day and I will definetly be going back! I felt welcomed and the best pub experience I've had in a very very long time. Will definitely be visiting more often!

Went on Sunday 2nd July 23 as part of the Yorkshire Wolds Challenge cycling event 3rd time at this venue great place and atmosphere.

Me and my partner visited for the first time on Thursday for his birthday, after this place was recommended by a friend. From start to finish it was a lovely evening! The staff were lovely (especially the blonde haired one who’s name I didn’t get) the food was brilliant! My partner had the bacon and mushroom starter, mains I had the beef and potato pie with chips and peas and partner had a steak, then of course we couldn’t leave without dessert! I had the brownie and partner had the trio of desserts! Neither of us had a single negative thing to say about any of it! If I’m being really picky my only comment was that I was gutted that the cheesecake was grape and butterscotch - never heard of grape in a cheesecake 😂 all in all we had an amazing evening, the atmosphere was great, the food was wonderful and staff were lovely! This is definitely going to be our regular place now for a meal out!

We had a lovely visit, they have nice food, lovely ice cream 😋

A little country pub in a quaint Yorkshire village, but a bit dark and dinghy inside. Nonetheless, ideal as a rest stop post a walk in the countryside. Although the food was good, tasty and well cooked, we waited nearly 45 mins from the point of ordering to recieve our food.

What a lovely place, it doesn't have a massive menu but I suspect they are focused on doing what they do well rather than having a bigger, mediocre menu. 5 Real Ales on tap and very friendly and helpful staff. We went at lunchtime and as they only serve food from 12 to 2pm and it was very busy.

Had a lovely bar meal, so great to see a pub that is busy with great drinks and service. Could not recommend enough for everything, service, atmosphere and quality of dishes.

Stopped her for lunch with 50 Friends. The team coped with us effortlessly serving great food and drink quickly and friendly, which both were great. I will be back

Brilliant Sunday Roast.....and great value too!

Broke our walk for a meal at the Gait Inn. Lovely village pub. Had the fire going as it was very cold out. Very pleasant and friendly young lady took our order and we didn't have long to wait. Good selection on the menu. I had the pesto, pinenut and pea pasta with garlic bread which was delicious and my husband had the gammon with an egg and pineapple with chips, equally yummy he said. The pub had a steady stream of people in for lunch which was good to see. Thoroughly recommend this pub

Really good food. And real ale too.

Lovely pub and really helpful friendly staff. Proper home made food too. Will be back.

Lovely country pub of the old traditional type. Beautiful location and excellent food (as always)

Excellent little pub, dog friendly lovely food

A great example of a village countryside pub. No pretensions, some good local beers on tap, wide and traditional food choice and hearty portions. It's a perfect place to relax on an evening, or after a walk through the stunning countryside outside.

Popped in for drinks after completing a leg of the wolds way. It's a lovely old style village pub with a good selection of drinks and food if required.

Amazing food definitely going back

Really great, especially when the sun ☀ is shining so you can enjoy the outside tables.

Traditional country pub with lovely food

Solid Yorkshire Country pub with generous food portions and friendly staff

Excellent service and meal. Spot on.

My husband and I had a lovely pub lunch here. Staff were friendly, good service. Will definitely return for another meal when we are out walking in the area. Serve quite a number of real ale (5 I think) and a good selection of wines.

Called in for drink great place.

We decided to do some walking on the Minster Way and had pre booked in here for a Sunday Roast. Fabulous lunch, great table for all of us and super friendly staff. Could not get over the value for money on the Sunday lunch.

Good atmosphere, excellent food and friendly staff.

Came here for an evening meal to try somewhere different. I opted for the meat pie and treacle sponge. Both were outstanding. The pie was full of succulent meat and was cooked to perfection. My friend also had the pie along with the brownie sundae, she commented that both were lovely. Meals and drinks well priced. The pub itself has a lovely decor and atmosphere. A proper country pub. Just how I like it, I can't wait to return.

Good food and service also great prices

Great traditional country pub in a great setting. Great place to stop off if you in need of a drink after enjoying the nearby walks. Just off minster way and wold way.

Stopped here for a drink there was 4 adults and 3 kids after our walk in the wolds way , the staff where so friendly chatty and welcoming thank you

Lovely spot , nice beer garden. Near some lovely walks

Great country pub with good choice of hand pulled 'local' beer and great Sunday roast.

Dropped in without a reservation whilst out walking in the area. Great feel and decor, lovely welcome and good pub grub menu. Will definitely be back when next in the area.

Fantastic pub great food and pleasant staff. Proper pub

Nice food, nice menu and specials board and nice service in a beautiful little village. Lovely querky pub with open fire as soon as you walk in :) Perfect location for miles of walks! Dog friendly too!

Fantastic pub in a great location.

what a great evening, lovely venue, friendly, welcoming staff, clean and relaxing surroundings. We all had a delicious meal. lovely starter Yorkshire puddings with onion gravy delicious (not available down south yet?) then I had the most delicious salmon steak with good choice of vegetables which was a special. It was absolutely delicious. It was one of the most delicious meals I've had. My friends were very pleased with their choices too! A really enjoyable evening, thank you :)

Great traditional pub atmosphere, friendly service, good food at fair prices and dog friendly. You need to book at busy times so we're not the only ones to love it.
