Ye Olde gate Inne in Derbyshire Dales

Spent the weekend in Brassington and popped in every day to The Gate. Absolutely fantastic place; great cask ale at £4 a pint, brilliant atmosphere and the locals were really welcoming. Couldn't be more dog friendly- staff brought round lamb and pork for the dogs in the pub on Sunday. Ate in the pub on Saturday- food was brilliant. Would absolutely recommend.

We had a week in the Peak District and came here for dinner one night. A lovely old pub with real fires. Only about 5 or 6 tables for eating as it’s very small, so booking advised. Decent menu and the food was very good, so would recommend it.

Beautiful old traditional pub in a lovely village location. Good selection of real ales and drinks. Went for Sunday lunch with friends and the food Was plentiful and first class will definitely go again.

Staying in Brassington, we booked for Easter Sunday Lunch, absolutely delicious and attentive service. 5 people had Beef and one Pork, all the vegetables were cooked perfectly and it tasted homemade😋 Only thing I would say was the Medieval Room could do with some background music!

I did not have anything to eat but this is the kind of country pub l like real fires great beer really old.

Lovely olde worldy pub with lots on your plate. Very popular.

Absolutely Lush. A proper pub, with proper gorgeous pub food The service was spot on. Also dog friendly

Need a cosy, comfy and welcoming pub with a roaring coal fires and a warm welcome? Our group of seven were seeking classic pub food and interesting vegan options - and we found it! We would recommend both the aubergine curry and the steak pie - and how often can you say that??? Staff were fantastic, too!

Im local to the area so know this great pub quite well and its always a pleasure to visit. Went on Friday evening with some friends and had a lovely meal and excellent Marstons Pedigree. I had the best fish and chips ever! The fish was cooked to perfection inside a light crispy batter accompanied by excellent chips and mushy peas.Perfect!

Love the Gate, I'd never hesitate to drop in given the opportunity.

Proper olde pub.. Good grub not dear either

We were staying in the village and came here for a birthday dinner. Excellent food in sizeable portions. Especially notable were pumpkin soup, hearty and full of flavour, and chunky chips to go with well timed steaks. Our nephew also commended highly the steak and ale pie. A cosy setting. In many ways a traditional pub - you won't find a wine list but the wine they offered was fine

We were lucky enough to stay next door to the Gate, visiting for the second time. It's a lovely little pub, good food, open fire and friendly people. Just remember to book a table for food, as it fills up quickly due to its popularity. Thank you to Tony for sharing his father's military flying history.

Best roast we have had in Derbyshire. Plenty of food provided for the price paid. Don't eat before you go as you'll need an empty stomach to finish this amazing mountain of food. Great local ales, the pub has a lovely homely feel with open fires in all rooms. Would highly recommend.

Had an amazing roast beef dinner in a friendly welcoming pub. Good food and drink. Definitely recommend. Lovely choice of traditional desserts. Also a bonus as very dog friendly.

Very good Sunday dinner and lovely atmosphere in here.

The food was absolutely exquisite! Must visit if you are in the area.

Can't fault it. Everything an English pub should be. Combines serving a wider audience with keeping the loyal locals very happy.

Enjoyed a couple of beers in a sunny beer garden with great views and welcoming people in front and behind the bar. Cheers

Proper local with traditional feel and large garden

Super tasty food and great atmosphere

Staying in another local village this inn was recommended to us so we took a chance at lunchtime and were not disappointed. A delightful characterful old pub with a beautiful garden and views. The weather was kind so we sat outside with the dog (who was welcome inside too). A short blackboard menu of home cooked meals was good to see. The trout was delicious as was the chicken and mushrooms with tarragon sauce. Charming service and a really relaxing lunch. Highly recommended by us!

Good question food and great service always!

Popped in for a drink after walk. GreT atmosphere and service

Lovely olde pub. Cracking pint of Pedigree.

Excellent home cooked food. The best meal out I have had.

Went as part of a group of 20 people on a hen weekend. Great welcome and atmosphere. The lamb roast dinner was delicious and very reasonable. The fresh veg servings were huge. Everyone said that they had a lovely meal. Would highly recommend

We arrived at the correct time to b told our booking had been cancelled.as it was an 80th birthday celebration we were disappointed and upset by the rudeness of the landlord. Then we went to the other pub in the village where the staff were super friendly and the food was great so we had a lovely evening would highly recommend the miners Arms and avoid ye old gate inn

We were a group of 8 women celebrating a friends birthday and staying in Bradbourne for the weekend. We had booked a table in advanced and walked over to Brassington across the fields on the public footpaths. We were therefore ready to do justice to a Sunday roast lunch on arrival. Ye Olde Gate Inne did not disappoint in fact it surpassed our expectations. The quality and quantity of food was exceptional with service prompt and attentive. In fact the main course was so filling none of us could manage a dessert which for us is unheard of! Top marks to Ye Olde Gate Inne. If we are in the area again we will certainly return. Thank you.

Sunday lunch was really great. 👏

Stunning pub. Lovely cosy interior with open fires. Brilliant selection of local ales and beers, all exceptionally priced. Landlord was a gentleman and made sure to remember our names, having politely introduce himself. Food was lovely, exemplified home made pub food. Top top pub.

Really good food and a friendly welcome.

Lovely Sunday lunch ,beef delicious & a lovely variety of veg . All staff very friendly.

Very nice people food was all fresh staff was polite nice pub

Cosy, unspoilt traditional pub Fabulous home cooked food. Huge portions. Great atmosphere and lovely landlord and landlady. What more could you want?

Didn't have the food as I'd already ate . But loved this place . Friendly staff and locals with a well kept cellar . What more can you ask for

Proper pub. First rate food and drinks. We’ll done 👏👍

Best Sunday lunch in Derbyshire 👍🏼

Lovely food. Cosy pub. Good selection of ales.

Wife and I had the Sunday Roast today in Ye Olde Gate Inn. Absolutely delicious food , perfectly cooked , huge portions , well kept beer , lovely service , great value for money …highly recommend

Sunday lunch for ten, from Derby, Nottingham and London. Sheltering from torrential rain in a cosy room with a fire. Food hot, freshly cooked, in huge portions! Friendly service, lots of choice, including children’s options.

Just had the best Sunday Roast !!! Charming Olde Worlde pub and after a warm welcome were seated next to a glorious fire with finely polished brasses. We all ordered a Sunday Roast with lamb, beef and turkey on offer. Heaps of freshly cooked veg including creamed leeks and carrots/ swede etc. The hugest yorkshires and the portions had us all beat. Gutted I couldn't manage one of the tempting desserts. This pub is a little gem in a lovely village with fabulous hosts and the food is divine. We will be back !!! !

Probably the best Sunday lunch I’ve ever had ( except for my good lady’s of course!) great food, lots of it and so fresh, my roast beef was so succulent and tasty, our party of 4 all loved the food, and the pub itself is so atmospheric, well done to all the staff for an excellent meal!

Food well cooked and prepared. A good variety of meals even on the restricted Monday menu. Generous portions. Friendly staff. Wine choice great. We will be back.

We were visiting a few churches in the area with a group of 10 friends and we had booked into The Gate for lunch. What a warm welcome we received. The fire was burning brightly in the grate, the brasses were gleaming and the tables were all invitingly laid out ready for our meal. The menu had lots of choice but most of us were enticed by the pie menu, steak & Stilton being the most popular with game pie and chicken & leek also chosen. The servings were so generous that only a few of us had room for afters but these also looked delicious . A good selection of real ales too. Excellent service and ambiance. Would thoroughly recommend. Thank you for memorable visit.

Most memorable Sunday roast served with six vegetables. Service could not have been better, made to feel very welcome by hosts and waiting on staff.

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch here yesterday. Expertly cooked and huge portions. Also 3 well-kept, hand-pulled cask ales.

Excellent service, hospitality and ambience. The staff were very accompany the food (Sunday roast) was excellent. Thanks Tony and team

What a roast dinner! We both had the roast beef and it was absolutely awesome. I new it would be good when we walked to our table; every other table was reserved! Lovely menu and great beer selection. They welcomed our dog and it was...

Lovely place for a drink during summer in the garden, feels a little special.

4 cyclists doing a 70 at 70 for my birthday booked a table for lunch at 1, but by the time we had climbed our way out of Wirksworth we found we were going to be late so phoned ahead. The landlord said last orders...

What a lovely meal and what lovely hosts,really made to feel at home,really could not fault anything,nothing too much trouble for our wonderful hosts,thank you.

Visited while on a short break away, Lovely food, excellent service and dog friendly! Perfect local pub, would definitely return! Managed to get it without booking at 6pm, but was starting to get busy!

Fantastic Sunday dinner, Make sure you didn't eat anything Saturday.

Nice traditional pub, great food and friendly staff, worth stopping for lunch 😋

Excellent pint of Marstons.First visit for years and happily it hasn't changed.

Fantastic little pub set in a beautiful village. Food was really nice with big hearty portions. The place was really clean and well run. Will definitely come back here again.

Fabulous food and really friendly waitresses and chef. Great service. Very welcoming to dogs too and go the extra mile. Lovely village location

We booked a table out of the way with our dog. Pub was very charming along with the landlord who was really friendly as were the locals. We enjoyed our Friday night dinner of homemade pie and mash and we went back on Sunday for...

A fantastic little old style English pub. Lovely outdoor seating area in a beautiful little village. Food was superb, possibly the best Sunday lunch I've had! Beef was cooked perfect and not cremated and there were enough vegetables and sides to make sure you did...

Sunday roast was epic! No more needs to be said.

Popped in today, hadn't booked and had one of the best 3 course meals today with super friendly owners and great beers too. Garlic prawns were fantastic, beautifully cooked steak, followed by home made brownie... 5 out of 5

I cannot recommend this place enough. The food was delicious! They were very accommodating to our daughter who has an extremely restricted diet. Mel the chef even made a couple of adjustments to the gluten free chocolate cake so that she could have some.

Quaint old fashion pub off the beaten track, friendly staff ,good traditional food ,good covered gardens to sit in well worth a visit if in the area

Simply excellent. The whole visit and the food. Simple and authentic country inn/pub. Super friendly staff. Large portions of traditional pub food, excellently cooked with quality ingredients. Dog friendly. Thoroughly recommend if your passing, thoroughly recommend for booking and dining.

We were on holiday nearby and came here one evening for dinner. Delicious pub food - we had steak and stilton pie with chips and veg and ham and eggs. Generous portions and dog friendly.

The Sunday dinner was incredible with enormous portions, everything was cooked to perfection. Washed down with a lovely pint of pedigree. 10/10

Amazing food, Mel (female chef) was outstanding, party of 8 with 5 steak orders, she was by herself and got every one bang on. Definitely worth a food visit

Me and my friend were staying in the village and we came in on a Monday when it was quite quiet. Despite that Tony and Mel were very accommodating and made us feel welcome. The food was amazing, so tasty, big portions and really comforting....

Fantastic Greek Meatball dish, and thank you for going ‘ out of your way’ with our Guest. He Drives and Hour round trip for the Gate. 👏👏👏

Wonderful traditional village pub. Service was polite and friendly and the food was really tasty. Value for money and portions were huge. Definitely worth a visit if in the area. Worth booking as was busy

What a fantastic lunch🤟 All the four meals were excellent. You need to market those pie’s. And thanks for the extra sausage for Louise’s Uncle, he really appreciated it .

Visited Ye Olde Gate Inn on the last night of our 3 day trip to the Peak District. 6 of us all had a different main meal and were all very pleased- tasty home cooked good portioned meals, ranging from lamb shank to scampi&chips, aubergine...

We booked a table for 4 people one dog. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and had a fab meal. Two meat pies and two lamb shanks and a couple of puds. All home cooked and cooked to perfection, a fab evening at a...

I visited with my sister and brother-in-law, who had both raved about the food previously. We were not disappointed. We choose three different meals which were all excellent and really scrummy. Even though this wasn't my meal, I've got to mention it: The rib-eye came...

Visited with friends today for lunch. Greeted warmly by the owners and made instantly welcome. 2 roaring fires add to the atmosphere. For starters we had garlic mushrooms, halloumi and dip, and black pudding and haggis stack in pepper sauce. All delicious and served with...

Stopped here for lunch while walking in the area. What a stunning little pub so interesting. Real fire in both rooms. Plenty of space. Staff friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. Definitely recommend if you in the area.

Hi. Super food, quick service, friendly staff, great beer and all at very sensible prices. We were a group of 10 and were served really quickly.

Food is wonderful , catering for all dietary needs, we have some fussy eaters in our family but all had their bellies filled.Sunday dinner is the highlight, extra roast potatoes for me!!! No problem. However when the dinner service is finished and the pub starts...

What a treat, pre booked for Sunday lunch after a long walk. To be presented with the most enormous and delicious Sunday lunch ever, I think the only veg missing were peas!! So full had deserts as take out! Even the dogs we welcomed with...

We'd walked from Wirksworth via Carsington, and stopped in Brassington hoping to find a good unspoilt rural pub for a liquid lunch before walking back to Wirksworth on different paths. We were not disappointed in any way, and were made very welcome. Good beer too....

This pub is one of the oldest in the land which still retains many of its original features. We had a meal there which was great. Can really recommend their home-made pies.

Great food, large portions and great hosts! Booking is a must as it gets very busy. Would definitely revisit if we were in the area again.

Good food / Good Beer and an atmosphere of an old pub that’s not been spoiled - Always on my itinerary when I visit this part of the world. Great to have a pint of Pedigree Ale after the lockdowns. Tried the Whitebait and Hot Pot this time - Excellent.

Pub could do with a bit of an upgrade. Many items on the menu were not available along with many of the drink options. Even lemonade was not available the night we visited. Vegetables were under done and the tops of our pies were like rocks. A bit on the pricey side.

Staying in Brassington for a week so we've popped in here a few of times. Initially on our first day here, we came in for drinks and to get the lie of the land. Guinness was lovely and it was nice chatting to the landlady. We were initially the only ones in, but then a few locals appeared, and they were friendly too. We booked in for Sunday lunch the next day, which was very nice - huge portions - the beef was excellent, as were the mash, roasted veg and the creamed leeks. The boiled veg was a little underdone to my taste, and the roast potatoes were unusual-looking, in that they were a bit smooth/hard on the outside, but tasted fine once you ate them! Starters were OK, but basic cafe fayre (rather than restaurant/gourmet) and at ~£7 each, a bit expensive for what they were. Can't fault the service though, either at lunch or when we visited again for drinks a couple of days later, when we sat in the pub garden during one of the recent hot days. This is a very characterful pub, with an interesting history, and a nice place to sit and while away a few hours with a decent pint.

How this pub has a 4.5 star rating takes a bit of believing. It is closed more than open and when it is open the meals leave a lot to be desired a very limited menu which I would suggest comes from Chef Mike's collection. This being complimented by very limited drinks options all in all a very disappointing evening outing.

We drove 20 mins for dinner and I probably wouldn't do that again but the food was nice. The fixed menu wasn't spectacular but the specials were really nice. I shared a lovely pate and then had a rack of lamb that was absolutely superb. Beautifully pink and tender. The bar staff were not that friendly and we felt like the outsiders we were. The chef came out later and she was fab and made us feel better. I would love to come here for a Sunday Roast or a lunch stop on a walk.

Booked as the inn was highly recommended. The owner was really friendly and welcoming and the pub is certainly very cosy. Unfortunately the food was average. The starters were the best part- loved the pate and the fish, but really didn’t enjoy the Roast…and I eat a lot of roasts! In terms of desserts the Terry’s chocolate tort was a hit with the kids and the lemon cheesecake also went down well.Sadly probably wouldn’t be high on my return list for the food but I’d def go in for a drink.Is very dog friendly too so that’s definitely a plus!

Had a great meal - home cooked chicken and leek pie and rack of lamb. Both perfectly prepared and served. Warm welcome and great service.

Lovely local pub nearby the Holiday cottage we rented. Stopped in on the first night just for drinks and was greeted by friendly landlord and bar staff. Locals were also equally welcoming. We booked a table for the following week for dinner and the food was superb and extremely reasonably priced. Food was good home cooked quality and none of us could fault our meals. We're only gutted we were too full for desert! Would definitely recommend, friendly staff, welcoming locals and good quality food. Will return when we next head to Derbyshire.

I visit this pub every time I'm in the area and each time I have had a great time. The food is fantastic- generous portions, a great menu and it never disappoints. Have eaten out with couples and family and always enjoy our time. The pub has a rustic charm and is in a great location. Would really recommend a visit, I'm looking forward to my next visit already.

Unfortunately was greeted by a very rude and shouting man after parking near the front of the pub not blocking any entrance of the car Park or anyone in any other vehicles . If there was a problem where we had parked would of been quite happy to move the car , all he had to do was ask ? But instead he came out in front of other customers shouting and waving his hands embarrassing himself more than anyone . Will never return to this was once a lovely place to visit until changes are made .

We planned a night out at Ye Old Gate Inn at Brassington a few weeks ago with 2 other couples and were really looking forward to it. There were lots of cars parked on the street when we arrived so we pulled up outside the door to let everyone out. As we did, a man (possibly the landlord) came running out shouting that we couldn’t park there as it was completely blocking the entrance, not quite the gregarious welcome we had been expecting! People sat outside looked on in disbelief and when we tried to explain we weren’t blocking the car park at all he just stormed back inside muttering to himself. He was obviously having a bad day, drunk or possibly both? After the terrible 16 months hospitality has had, you would expect business owners to be a bit more friendly if they expect customers to come back in to their establishments and get them back to turning a profit. I must say that everywhere else we have been since businesses have been allowed to open up have been excellent and tried their best to be accommodating. This man should take a good long look at himself and his approach to running a hospitality business or prepare to close again, permanently this time. 0 STARS…!

I had a terrible experience at this pub. It was my first day out after 2 weeks of self isolation and I left home early in tears.We came to watch the Euros final. I am a vegan and was told twice that there was no vegan food available, but they would later check when the chef arrived. I was later offered a cheese and coleslaw sandwich, which I could not eat. After buying some crisps from the bar and still being hungry, I asked my sister who was on her way to bring me a snack. I was eating a nutella sandwich in the outdoor seating area when the landlady came over to shout at me in a completely uncalled for and unreasonable way. She was clearly drinking, and seemed to wish to publicly humiliate me in front of all of her friends in pub. the way she spoke to me was unprofessional at best, and offensive and discriminatory at worse. 1. You need to communicate better with your floor staff so they know what they can offer customers. This shows a deep disregard of dietary and allergic requirements of your clients. 2. Even if a person is consuming their own food on premises (prior to wanting to purchase food!) you can ask them to eat elsewhere, or stop, or offer them something they can eat! Shouting and humiliating is not the way to run a 'restaurant' We will never be coming back. You should be ashamed of yourself for how you acted.

We rented a holiday cottage in the village for a week and went to the pub several times. We had a friendly welcome and the service was excellent. The food is traditional but very tasty. Big portions and lots included, eg the steak came with veg and salad, as well as potatoes, and included a choice of sauces. We had Sunday lunch there and also visited on pie night - great choice and high quality.Sat in the garden where there is a big open tent - felt very safe.

We visit this pub at least once a year when visiting family who live in the area. The food is always outstanding, the beer is very nice and the service is always brilliant and we are always greeted with a warm welcome. The only downside is we often don’t have enough room for dessert ! We can’t wait to visit again when we go back next month! Highly recommend this pub

The food was fantastic and so was the service, I would highly recommend this little gem in the lovely village of Brassington
