Lovely pub for a drink, good selection of beers & lager. Outdoor seating, BUT NO FOOD served at this public house its a wet house only! Think how much more trade they would do if good home cooked food was available!? Dont look far acle bridge pub rammed most lunchtimes summer & winter as good bar grub, kings arms fleggburgh, boathouse ormesby, the smoke house ormesby etc etc personally i go out of caister twice a week lunchtimes with friends for a drink & good bar food. As we did at the GATE when mel was landlady, now no food so we all go elsewhere. Pub is clean and kept nice good ales etc.

Absolute disgrace.. the new owners are treating locals and regulars appallingly .. I’ve been watching England play in tournaments for 25 years I. That pub and tonight I can’t cos I haven’t got a wristband .. because someone else (not me) was unruly on Saturday …. hey folks .. if u have to find somewhere else to watch the match tonight like me .. perhaps we should watch future matches elsewhere as well … I was really happy when they opened the gate again but now I hope they go out of business!!!!!

All ages, but some of the younger element seemed to like arguing with each other, bar manager seemed to chuck people out that he thought were going to cause trouble. Bar staff excellent... didn't have food so can't comment.

We were visiting Caister on a mini-break and popped into The Gate for an afternoon. We found it to be a very hospitable pub, with excellent service and very clean facilities. Bar staff were all lovely, as were the customers. Our son enjoyed the beer garden, which was well-kept. We were also treated to some live music in the evening. A lovely afternoon spent at a lovely pub. Many thanks 😁

This pub has recently reopened and is offering lots of entertainment. The evening we visited was very well attended and locals were clearly looking to support the pub. Although no food was available, the barman allowed us to eat takeaway food and was very helpful. When we visited it was karaoke night and visiting karaoke team were superb and the participants were keen to have a great night. However, the evening was ruined by a plank who was loud, brash and clearly under the influence of something. We left early as couldn’t stand it any longer as no one from the management team took action. What this place have to decide is whether they want to encourage a great atmosphere for all or allow morons to rule. If the latter, sadly this venue will close again.

Its currenrly under temporary management so they have no interest in it and it shows. Ive not been in for months and thought a Christmaa Eve drink in the village pubs would be nice but I wish we hadnt bothered. It was grim. Hardly any customers and could see why. It felt grubby. The seating was badly damaged ( battered upholstery) and tired tables. When I asked what wine they served, the server just pointed at some bottles which isnt helpful. There was no atmospher and quite frankly couldnt wait to leave. I hope the next landlord will make more of an effort.

Ok since the takeover, think I'll need more time to adjust since this was my local for a long time before moving, but nonetheless the new owner seems very nice. Shame only one ale seems to be on tap, but still a good atmosphere from a good pub. Hopefully will open up the other room again soon, would be great to have some gigs or the like on again in the new year.

We booked here because the reviews where good and we wanted steak. It was dog and kid friendly so booked a table for 6. We called about half an hour before to check we had been given a table that was dog friendly as we know not every table would be allowed dogs. We walked all that way but when we arrived we where warned that half the menu wasn't available as they had sold out. And they only had 2 steaks left. I was really annoyed. Why, when we called half an hour before, didn't the women warn us of the missing menu items? We would have cancelled and booked elsewhere. So we then struggled to find somewhere else. It made it very difficult as there where 6 of us, a baby and dog. We walked all that way for nothing.

We walk from Great Yarmouth to Caister and head for The Gate. What good food. We like salads in the hot weather and their offering is huge. The cheese salad comes with jacket potaoe and coleslaw plus a huge amount of cheese and fresh crunchy salad.we have tried the ham salad again generous with nice thick slices of ham.The tuna salad is also generous. Looking forward to trying roasts when weather gets cooler. Highly recommended. 👍👍😁

After reading all the brilliant reviews on trip advisor we decided to book a table for the black rock as our normal black rock restaurant had closed down , positives are very friendly staff and food was very good , but the restaurant was extremely dirty , stained seating , dirty floors and the skirting boards looked like they hadn't been cleaned in months , there were piles of bean bags and general rubbish on the floor between the bar and the restaurant , husband used the toilets after the meal and advised I didn't use them as very dirty , such a shame food was lovely but was concerned how clean the kitchen might be if the restaurant and toilets were anything to go by , such a shame , could easily be corrected but unfortunately I will not be returning and cannot recommend, sorry

While on holiday in Scratby we were looking for somewhere to eat and came across The Gate. What a find! Lovely pub that does fantastic food. You can eat in either the bar or restaurant area although if opting for the On The Stone dishes you have to eat in the restaurant. Even though it was busy the wait time for food was minimal. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Will certainly be back when on holiday next year.

We visited after a drive out looking for somewhere to eat while on holiday with my 14 year old sons. My one son and husband had steak which you cook on a hot stone at your table. I had Salmon which you also cook at your table and my other son had a generous sized burger. All meals were fantastic and reasonably priced and both my husband and son agreed they have never had a better steak . The staff were friendly and tentative. We couldn't have asked for more.

Very good value food with a pleasant environment and friendly staff. The choice was excellent with all the usual pub style grub and the seafood was as fresh as if it had just been landed! Children are well catered for and my two are a bit between kids menu and adult menu, no problem the staff sorted appropriate serving from the adult menu! Two visits in a week and the whole family was extremely pleased snd rather full! The only possible downside was the car park and the front door area needed tidying with glasses and cigarette doubts lying about but otherwise once inside absolutely brilliant. Thanks to The Gate staff for being so lovely and helpful.

Another great visit to The Gate for a lunch time burger and chips. I ordered a cheese and bacon burger and got a huge plate of food for less than £8!! The burger was a meal in itself but it was accompanied by plenty of chips and a large side salad. By far the best chunky chips ever!! Staff friendly and welcoming. Well worth a visit, I would definitely recommend.

We booked over email to go down to have a family meal. And was attracted to the lava rock hot plate dishes which allowed you to cook your own steak at your table. Due to have dogs we booked to sit out side. On arrival we found our seats out side and all choose what meal we wanted. With 6 out of the 7 people in the party wanting the Lava Rock hot plates. Which had attracted us to the pub. When we went to order the meals we were told that we could have the hot plates outside. With no real reason as to why. Which left us with only a limited bar menu. Of burgers and chips etc. Such a rule should have been highlighted when we booked. Or on the website. And explained when we arrived and were given the menu. Rather than letting us choose and then be told. All round a disappointing menu out. And felt bad for the rest of the family, as I choose the location. Bar food that we did have was only average.
