About us

Dating back to 1728, the inn was built near the Toll Gate and was originally known as the Sign of the Gate. The first landlord was Richard Howard, who also collected the tolls and was a trained tallow chandler (maker of candles). In 1781 the Old Gate Inn became a coaching house where travellers could rest for a night.

A country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character, our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.

Whether you are planning dinner with friends or Sunday lunch with family, book a table online and enjoy some quality time with those you love the most.

4 of us out and had mains and deserts. The food was excellent. The building is really old but clean and lots of smaller rooms and not been ripped open on the inside. Staff were wonderful and couldn’t do enough. They were just a little short of staff at the start. Place was very clean. Definitely go back. Prices on párr with all restaurants/ pubs in this area

We were a group of 24 people for my eldest daughters 18th birthday party. I am always nervous when arranging these things but it was so smooth thanks to Chris. Everyone thought that the food was delicious, the stand out dish for me was the fishcakes. The food came out in a steady flow so no one was left for very long before they could start eating. We were in a lovely section on our own, one of the strengths for this pub is the little nooks which create a more intimate setting. The staff were all amazing, friendly and genuinely welcoming which created a great ambience. We will definitely be returning, thanks again Chris you have created a wonderful pub with some great people working for you!
