Another great pub visited this week, a good turn out from clubs in east mids and a head count of around 200 came for this event held here. Everyone we spoke to said the same thing top score in all areas.

We had the most wonderful evening here. An emotional evening and the staff cared and looked after us. If you are wanting a Christening or birthday don't hesitate or just a lovely drink in a nice garden for adults or with children where they can safely play. Don't hesitate to visit. Thanks Cathy and Alan

Sadly they weren't doing food so I'm unable to comment on that. This has to be one of the friendliest pubs I've stopped at. They allowed me to park overnight in the car park. The staff were great and the locals were really friendly! Lovely wine served, great atmosphere and conversation. Child friendly up until 8pm but then children have to be out. Highly recommend and I'd definitely stop there gain.

Wow where do i start with this 5* review. On the 16th Of July me and my husband got married with our venue being at the Gate inn Ordsall. We approached Cathy, 2 years ago to secure our date and have been in talks for the past year to ensure our day was absolutely perfect. My oh my was it. We expressed our feelings about our wedding to Cathy on what we was wanting for the big day and she went above and beyond. The Catering was absolutely spot on, even our fussy eaters in the family were telling us how much they enjoyed all the food for the day and night time. All our guests were looked after all day and night by Cathy and her amazing team of hard workers. Thank you all for everything you did to make our day outstanding. The Gate Inn is honestly a hidden little gem and not appreciated enough. If i could give more than 5* i would!

My sister and mother went to this place yesterday and they got double charged for a round of drinks, when confronted about the double charge they claimed only one payment went through and the second payment would of come back the following day, this hasn’t been the case. Also they decided to do a second round and was over charged 10p. After reviewing on there Facebook they received nothing but abuse from the establishment. This is terrible customer service and very disappointing. I would advise avoiding this place entirely since clearing customers are not treated well.

Not a bad atmosphere as you walk through the door, although it took a few minutes for them to realise I was there, luckily the TV was on current affairs. Some tables still had dirty plates on them. Ordered a large sandwich and was asked if I wanted extras on, (egg was mentioned but I didn't get any). The sandwich was well worth the money (£4.60) as it was really full. Negatives were: bread was soggy but this was due to everything inside, eg coleslaw, salad cream etc. This also meant the sandwich fell to bits so I had to eat it with fork. They used clingfilm instead of foil/paper to wrap, this added to the mess when it was unwrapped. Big one for me was the lady DID NOT use gloves, I mentioned this and she said that she had just washed her hands, the clothes she was wearing were really dirty which did not fill me with joy. Overall the sandwich filled me up, the staff was kind and helpful but I won't return as I prefer cleanliness above all else.

This pub is a tale of two halves. The decoration & ambiance of the pub is lovely, loos are clean and ample parking. The pub was wonderfully dog friendly & the lady behind the bar & taking food orders was wonderful, friendly and vey helpful, the drinks were great and amazingly cheap.....However..... I'm afraid the whole evening was ruined by the food. I ordered the Fillet steak, medium rare @ £25.00 (not expensive), I asked for side salad instead of onion rings, mushrooms & toms. No sauce. What arrived was a very small sirloin (poss rump) steak, 1/2 " thick with a good 1" of unrendered fat down one side and over cooked. Plus a side of pepper sauce I never ordered. I questioned if the order had been taken down wrong or misread but I was assured that the Chef says The steak is definitely fillet! & the sauce is complimentary!..... I am not a butcher but I do know what a Fillet cut looks like !!! This was NOT. I was on a date with my partner so didn't want to complain, or embarrass him, but I feel bad that I allowed him to pay for something I definitely didn't have! I ate the meal which was edible but not what it was meant to be. The couple on the table behind us had a lengthily argument with the chef about his steak, sent one back & refused to pay for the second!! I don't mind if things aren't available or the kitchen is short staffed. I don't care of orders are taken or read wrongly BUT to be LIED to is unforgiveable. If I was there on my own I would not have accepted my meal. That said, my boyfriend's Faggots were lovely.......In short, A lovely pub for a cheap drink.......just don't have high expectations of the food.
