About us

Situated two miles west of Norwich city-centre, this quirky 19th century traditional pub was built on the site of an old tollhouse. The interior comprises of two oak-panelled bars, with a roaring log fire in winter and a large garden going down to the River Wensum for the summer months.

Four excellently kept real ales are dispensed by handpump and gravity, with the handpumps sporting original pump-clips, and the Grain Oak at a very attractive price!

The pub fields two pool teams, a crib team and a darts team on Monday night. There's also music most nights: Irish Folk, Wednesday; Folk, Thursday and Celtic Folk Sunday, with 1950s and onward type music (live) and occasional guest musicians.

It's a very old fashioned pub, as is the owner, but the atmosphere is fabulous and the pub is full of character. Lovely music supplied by Vic Salter amongst others. Well worth a visit.

A relic of traditional boozers. Ale straight from the cask. A landlord with a friendly welcome. There's no bells or whistles with this place, why need there be? It's a pub in a listed building oozing with character, it has live music weekly and it is a blast from the past with prices. It's not like walking into a Wetherspoons, withhold your expectations. Support your locals folks!

Nice, friendly environment. Ale prices seem very reasonable. I came in here for the first time when a musician and singer were playing and I worryingly thought I crashed a private party for a moment!

Lovely old pub with a lovely old landlord. Not to many pubs like these about anymore. Love sitting in the beer garden along the river on a hot day with a cold pint of guiness. Just wish it would be a bit more child friendly. Saying that I don't like to see adults getting pissed with their children about,but nothing wrong with just a couple while the children enjoy a cold coke running about letting off steam.

The Gate House is the sort of roadside pub you could drive past with hardly a second glance but that would be a big mistake. What a great pub this is. Just full of character and characters. There's always a really good selection of local beers and John the landlord really knows how to look after the beers and his customers. The live, unamplified music on various nights is a joy even if your not particularly into folk music. It's nearly all instrumental and certainly sets your feet tapping. Its full on if you sit nearby or just provides a great ambience if you want to sit and chat in the main bar. The Sunday night Celtic session attracts musicians from far and wide and it's different every week. It's always lively, to a very high standard and a country mile better than anything else you'll find anywhere in East Anglia - In my humble opinion.
