The Gate Inn in Rotherham

Great food, friendly staff, served quickly and accepted blue light card which gave a lovely little discount. Will definitely be back.

Really friendly staff only waited a short period of time for food and deserts the food was lovely would defo recommend we will certainly be returning

Top notch food and quality service - excellent vfm Loved it with lovely people serving and we ate burger/ steaks/ chicken.

Came in for lunch with the family l, beautiful food as always and staff were amazing especially mat and terriann, they always go out of their way to make us happy

Fantastic little pub! Great atmosphere great family pub! Food is brilliant! Bar staff are all friendly and very helpful especially Terriann Mat Heather!

Been coming every week for the quiz/food for the last 2 years and the food just gets better and better and better all the time Great staff and manager is just class, have a great laugh everytime we come here

Visited for the Quiz absolutely amazing what a fantastic host. We didn’t book and the place was packed but the manager found us a table. We didn’t get anywhere near winning but laughed all night.

I regularly visit on a Thursday evening for the quiz with my family. Due to the popularity of this quiz, I always ensure I book a table. On several occasions prior to tonight, reservations haven't been printed and distributed to the tables, however we've normally managed to find a table. Tonight however, we got there slightly after the reserved time 7.55 when the table was booked for 7.45, and found our table had been given away. My son was there separately and said that the manager was stood by their table (our reserved table was due to be next to them) and told him "they're late so someone else can have their table". There were 4 way traffic lights outside the pub creating quite a build up of traffic, so to have a manager not only give a reservation away 10 minutes after it was due to start, and make a point of telling my son and people he was with what he'd done was extremely unprofessional. I would be reluctant to visit again following this experience!

Popped in for a quick bite to eat, the menu is fantastic, I was spoilt for choice! Went with the giant gyros which was spot on

Spot on, cook clair is absolutely amazing g and alway goes over, love the staff are very helpful and try there best no matter what, so happy will highly recommended

Absolutely love this place!! Nice 5 minute walk from my home and I never have any complaints the kids love playing in the park and the food is spot on and reasonably priced, staff is always friendly and welcoming!

We came for food and drinks yesterday, was quite busy and was waiting quite a long time, however the girl who came out to us and apologised was very well mannered.

I was invited to an 80th birthday drinks gathering . On my arrival I entered the pub and began to look all round for my friends. Once I found them I got engrossed in talking and totally forgot to put my car reg into the register your car device on the bar . Today I have received a parking fine for £60 or £100 if not paid in 14 days. Pretty disgusting really when I was actually in the pub . Doesn’t really make you want to spend time going out to these places when such things are in place ,when a genuine mistake was made . Won’t be going back !

Spot on. Christmas meal was great and cooked well. Demi was a great waitress and she looked after us

Quiz night at the gate inn is such a good time for friends want to meet up, the manager Scot puts on such a good show having us all in hysterics this is definitely the place to go for a fun night with friends 10/10 food, drink and fun what more can you ask for!

Called in last night with a 40% off voucher 2 adult meals and a child for under £15 and i had a mixed grill, we usually go in the summer months as the outside area is great for our grandchildren, but on last nights showing we will be going again, and soon.

The fish and chips was brilliant and very polite staff I will definitely will be visiting again ....

I would definitely recommend the sticky toffee pudding the staff were really friendly I will definitely be visiting again

The mixed grill is amazing and was cooked to perfection and the waiter who served us was very polite and I will definitely return

Visited at around 7.30 friday night for a few beers and possibly food ,Chaos young toddlers running all over screaming ,young boys playing in the toilets unattended ,I mentioned to another lady in there and she said its usual theres always one running all over screaming helping herself to peoples food, I have children myself so im not anti children ,just not screaming ones whos parents seem to pay no attention ,we left just after 8 and went to the ring o bells. wont be back in a hurry

People opening going into the accessible toilets doing drugs. Children playing in the toilets so no one could use them. Table sticky. Chairs all torn and dirty. People in and out of the dining area swearing and shouting.

Lovely pub with great character! Staff were very polite and extremely helpful, even though we could see they were very busy. Kyra helped us to find our reserved seats and ensured we were comfortable and happy with our table cannot express how much the service with a smile made our dining experience all the more enjoyable, and Scot for going above and beyond to bringing a lovely atmosphere to such an enjoyable night, ensuring we will be returning to this lovely establishment.

Great food, very busy we were told about the wait but it was worth it the young waitress was working really hard. Good value for what you get

We visited The Gate inn using a groupon voucher. 2 starters and 2 mains for £18. Fantastic food at that price. Great staff has ample parking. And a play area

This pub never fails to disappoint, the food is amazing for an affordable price, lovely friendly bar staff, lovely manager, my kids absolutely love playing in the play area, will alway return to my local, they smash it everytime

We decided to give The Gate another shot after our last bad experience last year. . . It was my birthday but was not the best idea to go here.... I reserved a table booking in the afternoon for a table reserve later on for a birthday meal. I had a copy of the table reservation booking through email. When we arrived and I asked about the table.... the lady behind the bar went to check to come back and tell us "nothing had come through but it doesn't always print through same day bookings"..... why have the feature available to do?!? I didn't believe this to be true as for the main reason.. I know this system of table reservation!!! Turn the online system off if this is the case. I even showed my email reservation which got told "it's no good you can just find a table"!! We got there and it was busy with locals drinking but we went to look for a table and the only one decent table we could ask for was in the front small room on table 5!! It wasn't very clean unfortunately! So after this unfortunate incident already not the best of starts... but we found a table and went to order through the qr code.... we know the table was dirty and not cleaned as the table qr code had stains over it! We ordered starters and mains. Starters took a long time to come out ... nachos and boneless chicken ... surprisingly nice! We then waited over an hour for our mains!!!! Chicken fajitas.... was OK but not amazing. Chicken skewers ... well.... chips were stale... veg were not great and chicken skewer although alright wasn't the best.... there was definitely no sizzle for a sizzle plate or sizzle restaurant. The lady who served us on the bar finished at 7pm as she left but the young blonde lady who served the food had NO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS....resting sour face, no interaction with us and there was no follow up on our meals. What we did find out as she sat on the table next to us (with who we assume one was a manager), had a lovely burger and chips to eat there and for lunch had a container of gravy with roast potatoes which were stale ... not the kind of thing you want to hear about the food in the same establishment. The food is OK The service once again - not great!! The standards - poor. To be honest I think after this second attempt we will probably be giving it a miss. Try it though.... everyone should give it their own opinion! We might just have been unlucky. Not the best birthday visit for us all... but won't use for events again.

We really enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Staff are friendly and helpful which added to the whole experience. The menu had a good choice available and were really reasonably priced. Given the price we thought it might be bog standard chain pub food but we we’re pleasantly surprised with the quality. The park and beer garden is a great addition to the pub. We will definitely be returning in summer to take advantage of this little gem.

Come every Thursday for the wonderful quiz hosted by Scott. Always have great fun and some good food alongside :)

We had booked a table for 5.15pm and pre booked our meals 5 days in advance as there were quite a few of us going for a meal after work. Once we'd all arrived we told them we were all there so they could start bringing the food out. After 15 mins we were told they didn't have any garlic bread so couldn't do one of the starters we'd requested, how was this possible when we ordered 5 days earlier? An hour later they finally brought the starters out, then a further half an hour after we'd finished the starters the mains arrive however 3 of them were wrong, we'd ordered 3 normal hunters chicken but they brought 3 double hunters chicken, when we said no one had ordered doubles she just said well I'll just leave them on the table, by this time we were all starving so ate what she'd brought, the meals came out so slowly that by the time the first person had finished their meal some people were still waiting for theirs!! We ended up cancelling the desserts as we had been there so long by this point. When we complained they didn't do anything other than say sorry but still tried to charge us for the double hunters chicken which we hadn't ordered, we refused to pay for the double (only one of the chicken breasts was edible anyway as the other was so overdone it was burnt). Absolutely terrible food and even worse service. Never ever again!!

A great local pub with very friendly staff. A great place for a lunch with the family, or a stop off with the dogs on a walk, everyone is welcome.

Took the family for food and to watch football, always brilliant offers on food and drink at the Gate Inn, staff are always accommodating and friendly, well worth a visit if your in the area!!!

Warm and friendly welcome from all staff, clean tables and furniture. Reasonable priced drinks and food. All new tables outside and 2 “chalets “ to sit in to keep wind at bay .

Been for food today, wow !! Best mixed grill I’ve tasted ! Deffo recommend! And we will be back next Monday for the same!! 🤤😍

Came with the kids. We had 2 main meals for under a tenner and the kids meals were £1 each. Great service from the blonde barmaid and the food was excellent. Will definitely be coming back.

Came for lunch, really good atmosphere. Jon the manager was really welcoming and friendly. Will return. Highly recommended

Went for an easy dinner ,it was just that the food was good ,nice atmosphere will be coming back ,friendly people and staff

I visited tonight and was really glad I did! The food was amazing! My children thoroughly enjoyed it too!! The play area is fab! I can’t wait for the quiz to return! I’ll never be away!!

Food was lovely and hot, served quickly. Atmosphere in pub was so welcoming. Will be returning again for another meal. Staff are so lovely too.

Visiting friends colleagues called in for a quick meal few drinks. Recognised the DJ from another place so stayed a while. Meal was lovely took a little time but was worth it. Friendly Staff very helpful. Ended up staying there dancing the night away. Again your DJ making brilliant use of TV screens played all our party requests and put our names on the screens. As he did at the place we saw him a while ago. We need to use him at Merlin Attractions next year. Thank you for a really nice evening will return when next meeting up with our colleagues

Lovely food today. My 2 children loved their kids meals. Waitress was very friendly. Will visit again. Thank you.

We Dropped in for a quick drink bite to eat. Meal was ok & little busy few kids running around wild. Ended up staying in for the quiz which was absolutely mad fast furious but varied for everyone. Well done to the staff & thanks to the quiz guy made our night. Hope to see you soon

Nice convenient pub. Pub grub was lovely. Quick service despite ordering from the bar. Would definitely recommend. Some good food offers too on the menu.

Shout out to them floor and bar staff u all worked non stop yesterday, Shane I can't say that about the pub manager he really needs to brush up on customer service and pub experience sharpish, with an attitude like he had he will loose customers quickly, have always enjoyed this local but won't be doing unless he changes his customer service skills, good pub going to ruins

Went in tonight for food with my daughter. The food came out quickly and was great. The service from Scot and Mason was superb. Very covid secure, thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

We had an hours wait on food which we didnt mind but not sure why it was as it wasnt busy ! When the food came it was very basic , it should have come on a platter and half of what it said should have been on it wasnt, there was no onions, tomatoes or mushroom the chips were bland and not seasoned as they said , i left most of it as I could have made a better meal myself, very disappointing.

Me and my husband went for some lunch. Really nice atmosphere, the staff couldnt do enough for us. Food was great and you could tell the beer is well looked after! We will be returning soon!

Cracking meal and service would highly recommend using The Gate either for a meal or just socialising for a drink with friends.

Fantastic service from Chloe and mason , both polite and speedy , shame they had run out of guinesss ( but not the staffs fault) as it’s on the green card game and a sponsor of the rugby

Great night, lovely food and a fantastic host. Food was awesome, drinks were great Lots of love The spinks x

Visited today and had a great lunch, menu is good with loads of choice, even a good vegan menu. Puddings looked amazing but we were too full to try one. Prices are great too.

We often call in her for a drink on a Saturday. It is a large pub with a large family friendly beer garden. Its gets very busy on summer days at the weekends and this means chaos. There never seem to be enough staff on to cope with the numbers. this results in long queues at the bar, glasses piling up and consequently glasses behind the bar running out. On a quiet weekend when its less tropical outside it is a great place to call for a quick drink or two. I haven't eaten here so can't comment on the food. They have a great party in the car park at Bank Holidays, but again this can be marred by the huge queues at the bar. More staff needed for busy times.

The food was of poor quality the bean burger was burnt, they forgot part of my order and we are still sat here and the table has not been cleared for an hour. This is the second time eating here and the first wasn’t that good also.

For a cheap and cheerful meal you can't really go wrong. Don't expect Michelin star, just decent pub grub at a decent price. Always busy, nice garden and play area for the kids, so great for families that are wanting somewhere to go where kids can run around outside. Nice place to be sat out when the weather is warm.Was really busy when we were there on a Thurs, they really could have done with more staff on the bar though. There was a long wait for food but we didn't mind as we were having a girly catch up. I had the 5oz steak with chips and side salad, £5.99. Very good value and the steak was cooked just as I had asked.

Third or fourth time here since the new management took over. Food is amazing Beer is fantastic Staff are wonderfull, and always friendly polite and helpful..

Went today with my family for the first time, and can say was absolutely amazing food. We had nacho sharer delicious my dad had fish n chips (beautiful) mum had beef chilli(beautiful) I had Italian chicken and yet again beautiful. Son who’s a picky eater had beef burger he ate all I couldn’t believe it. Will defo be returning. Many thx

Absolutely brilliant pub. Food is excellent, staff are friendly and I can’t fault the quiz for Foch I love. Really great traditional local place. Highly recommend.

We decided to call up again for my wife birthday and a nice meal.Atleast 10 of us and we all had food,I had the chicken burger and it was beautiful and soft and I ate the lot.The home made chips were great aswell.All in all a great night as staff were so fast buzzing about cleaning tables asap and bar staff were great aswell and beer was spot on and not 1 bad pint all night for any of us.I can't fault service,food,beer,great dj,fun game of Irish bingo,fun quiz,all in all what a great night should be.The buuuuut is for all the old men who just like swarmed into where we were and it was like a cattle show too them.we had young girls in our company and they felt a bit uncomfortable with all the looks.It just looked so weird.hope it was a 1 off as we enjoy the food and enjoy how nice this pub has became.thats the only reason you got 4* and not 5.

First time for ages thought we would try a meal at the Gate, never again. Waited an hour for inferior food and poor service. Maybe they should call Gordon Ramsey.

Good local pub, staff are friendly and there is a good choice of beers. The children's play area is good and safely fenced off from the car park

Visited the gate to watch football and have a few pints. Good pub, decent beer and a nice large beer garden with plenty of seating. Will be going again.

Shocking never again going down hill it’s about time the top management took control before its to late and pub has failed for ever

Since its refurbishment the Gate looks brilliant, really nicely decorated. The food is always nice here and a great price, plenty of choice too. Always enjoy a few in the snug watching the racing, probably my favorite room in the pub. Also, they have a great beer garden for the nice weather. Just make sure you enter your reg at the bar if you have parked.

Visited with family for evening meal, although pub was busy there is no excuse for food order taking over 2 hours. If it hadn't have been such a nice evening to sit out we would have walked away. Don't think I'll be dining here in the near future, shame really.

We went there regularly and really enjoyed having such a great local pub...but boy as it gone down hill...badly managed in my opinion. The outside TV exemplifies what I mean: who with any forethought or genuine consideration for its customer would have an oustide TV yhay can only be seen on days when you wouldn't want to sit outside. It's do positioned that when it's sunny the sun directly hits the screen ha ha...And don't mention the jew parking restrictions where i have friends who legitamately park only to receiveva fine...And there we have the gate in 2018, it's as though they're on a mission to self destruct.

Come to the gate Inn regular with friends or with my family. The food is good enough every time I have visited just a little long winded at times. Some confusion as I wanted the 1 pound meal for my child which you can get at certain times only to be told I have to download the app... Which I later found out was not true. The manager of the pub is very helpful and friendly I wouldn't say much for the assistant manager who is miserable and gives wrong information. Some of the other bar staff could do with cheering up too. Enjoyed most of my visits to the pub and it is good for the children to play in the park which is safe away from cars.

I put my car reg into bar as required i recieved a car parking fine !!

Do not visit this public house you get fined £85 for using their car park and you are served by a rude and ignorant barman who slams change in your hand doesn’t smile or converse they don’t deserve any custom - my mum is 74 and on a pension has received a parking fine for visiting for a meal for a birthday nine of us there and three have received £85 fines it was all new and no one mentioned at the bar have you put your reg in iPad what iPad???? It’s disgusting that’s 9 of us not going again

I normally love sizzling pubs cheap drinks and food good atmosphere. Visited my parents in Swinton and I dropped off my disabled father and husband for a drink. I came back later to pick up but of course they weren't ready trying to sneak another pint .... They made me have a little drink with them . We left approx half hour later, only to have a fine for 85-00 for parking posted to our address two weeks later. Of course there will have been a sign there I imagine but I didn't see it and we've had to pay the fine . We were never asked at the bar if we had brought a car with us either or told about it. I'm absolutely livid .........nothing I can do about it so be warned read the signs in the car park .....

As i said in my last revied that we would be back.well we called in on friday for some food and the quiz and also the irish bingo so it turned out to be another good visit.i will give them top marks for the service we recieved and plenty of polite bar staff to serve you quick.pint is a good 1 so no problem in that department.the reason i cant give it 5 is the toilets yet again stink.please please please do something about it as honestly thats letting you down as i feel sick when i go into them they are that bad.the meal i had was the cheeseburger and paid another £1 for a pint to go along with it so well worth it as it was spot on thanks.we will be back for sure as its a good night for adults and we had a laugh with people we just met.so i would say give it a try as not many places in swinton where you can have a nice pint and descent food.

Such a bad night landlord is so rude and tells a lot of lies me and my family avoid this place till a new landlord arrives such a shame

Always a good choice for post work pints. Friendly staff. Decent food. Well priced. Plenty of seating both inside and out. Worth a visit any time.

Just been there with the family and it wasn’t great to be honest.

Hi.I gave the gate a really bad review the last time as it was just stinking and couldnt think for one second to praise it.well we went on the saturday and what a change.it looked nie and fresh and the carpet from the toilet into resturant wasnt stinking of pee like last time.now the mens toilet still stink a bit but nowhere near the disgusting smell like the last time.hand wash was nice to see and the turbo dryer was far better than the last time.so well done so far.just wanted to ask if you think its ok for the chef/ cook to walk through the resturant in her whites and go too the toilet.my wife is a cook and it surprised her as its a big no no in h&s; so you mite want to have a look at that.anyway food time.well i got the mixed grill and can honestly say i enjoyed it.everything was nice and cooked just about rite apart from the chewey steak but i think my wife orderd well done rather than medium/well done lol.well anyway i enjoyed it.we had a few beers and had a nice night.all the staff were pleasant and polite so thank you for that aswell.we were happy that the changes were done and we are even going back next week so all in all a change did this pub a power of good and my review is average but close to very good so its far better than last time but just not very good yet.so worth a visit and i do recomend it now.if this helped you then give a thumbs up helpful vote.thanks

We went for Sunday Lunch. The Gate Inn had only been open a couple of days since being refurbished. The main part of the pub was taken over by a large group of men who were very noisy and spread themselves over the whole room including in front of the ladies toilet making access very difficult. They were in for the Sunday afternoon pub quiz. We sat in the back room with other families, but struggled to hold a conversation above the noise from next door. Food took a while to arrive but was delicious. However I would advise if you want an item from the grill make sure you really really like onions,

Very busy as the food is beautiful

Sharer was great for a bunch of us wanting quick easy grid a few months ago yet this visit with me and my mate when we wanted steak - well it was easily the worst pub steak I have every had being a very poor cut and full of gristle- when I mentioned this to the waitress she waved me off to the bar staff. Do not eat the steak here!

Had a few starters and sharers with the girlfriend early afternoon. The food was gorgeous and red hot. My girlfriend is extremely fussy but couldnt stop eating! Warm and friendly. Lovely efficient staff. We'll be back soon!

Visited with my family which included young children for a meal .. food very basic and from what we ordered all frozen . I will never visit again not just due to the food being poor but when I used the gents toilets there were 2 to 3 lads sniffing what I assume was drugs walked out after feeling very uncomfortable, this is supposed to be a family eating pub

Food is very basic and just about everything is from the freezer .... the worst part is the smell in the corridor outside toilets it’s disgusting... wouldn’t recommend .

Been in fair few times through out the year, but failey recently has been aweful. The staff have been horrible and rude to customers specially those wanting simple things such as stella in a stella glass. The food has been aweful lately well for a while ive only had 1 good meal their. The toilets stink and can smell the aweful smell inside and outside the building, this has attracted flys and sure other kinds of bugs as well as other things. Seen the maneger himself with been in at same time use the toilet not wash his hands then serve behind bar and in kitchen never washing his hands or putting gloves on nothing and been very rude.

Went here for Sunday lunch, food was of a good quality,plenty of it,and cheap enough , beer was cheap as well , will be back

All meals I have tried have been really nice they are not the biggest meals here for big eaters but you can't go wrong for the price and the cheapest drinks in the area too

Sólo tuvimos una cena maravillosa aquí con mi marido. Todo estaba tuvimos un primer y un segundo plato, disfrutamos mucho. Buena relación calidad-precio sin duda volveremos

got to the gate at about 6-15 pm monday 3rd april the pub was quite empty there was not many people sat eating,we viewed the menus and went to order only to be told by the young girl behind the bar that there was an HOUR wait for food, as i could see only a few people eating i thought this to be very poor service indeed. no reason was given for the delay. we left and went somewhere else, will not be going back ever

I like the Gate Inn its nice and warm pub all year round same with atmosphere the prices are fare too in fact I do believe its the cheapest in Swinton

Reasonably priced and varied menu. Meals served well cooked and always hot. Plenty of car parking space.

I went for a meal at lunch time ,it was lovely had the gammon it was a deal if you bought 2 meals ,the desserts were nice everything well presented ,and the beers good to .

We went to the Gate with friends for an early Christmas dinner.The pub was busy but we did find a table next to a slot machine. Luckily one one person used the machine while we were there.The food we had was nice. Not Christmas fare but steaks and burgers. I had the 5oz steak and though I ask for medium it was well done. Saying that it was still tasty and good value for money.There was a karaoke on while we were there, unfortunately we were quite close to speakers which made it a little difficult to chat.

Im new to the area and some new friends I've made brought me here twice, both times I've been I've found the place to be lovely, really friendly staff whom were very welcoming and attentive, food was lovely, i had mixed grill first time the cauliflower and pepper curry second time, both times i had a sundae for desert, bailies one is gorgeous! Defo recommended! place looked clean and tidy, i didn't use bathroom so cant comment there, i would definitely return here with friends and my husband

Have eaten here a few times in the past always had a different and decent meal'It's a busy pub so finding a seat was a bit daunting sometimes

Nice cheap family favouriteGood food if you have a day that you don't want to cook good sun trap in the pub yard with a playground for young children only draw back be prepared to wait if the sun's out as it gets very busy

I really do enjoy visiting The Gate as the food is just what i enjoy. They serve hot chicken wings that offer anyone a challenge!! All the other food ive had was of a good standard too. Unfortunately the last 3 times ive been theres been a massive issue with flys!! Ive spoken to staff on each occassion but they always just appear like theyre not bothered! Just gave me an excuse about the local tip!! This has now given me reason not to go any more which is a shame as ive been going for a long time. But im sure everyone will agree with me, they dont want to be wafting flys away every 2 minutes! Its disgusting!!

Small portions..... crap food..... full of flies.....management couldn't get our bill right......won't be going again......

Popped in for a quick drink and food. Decided on just a portion of chips with our drinks. Oh my god out came a very small cup of chips. We looked at each other and thought it was a joke. I went to get some salt and a fork, I saw our waitress and mentioned the portion of chips were very small for £1.50. She did not reply, the landlord was clearing the table nearby and we loudly mentioned the size of portion was disgusting. He also ignored the comment. Don't get me wrong we were not expecting chip shop size portions, but a very small cup of chips that would struggle to make a sandwich. I looked around and other diners had small plates. After reading other reviews we won't eat there.

Went with family including children and food was good and good service and drinks. Value for money so don't expect anything premium. Nice evening to celebrate the end of my exam season!

I always find this pub very welcoming I think its one of the best pubs in Swinton the food is just simple thats just fine with me

Food was fine plenty to choose from on menu service was good not many people so service was quick shame landlord then turned volume up loud on tv when football came on even though no one was watching it

Ordered extra on my meal. When food was delivered was told no naan breads so gave me extra poppadoms. I didnt want this it would have been nice to be told at point of order that the order couldnt be fulfilled. Although a quiet little place wouldnt recommend for food. The best place to be is Manvers arms every time. This place as a very fusty damp smell an feels unclean.Would only go for drinks in future and would certainly be my last choice in this area.

Propped local cheap and chearfull food good value for money no pretence what you see is what you getInvolve themselves in most seasonal activities good mixed age group

Lovely food served by great staff.On arrival your welcome with nice bar staff. Lovely inside and out. Menu had plenty of food choice. We didnt wait long at all and was served perfect The food was great and enjoyed the whole evening.
