  “This is a nice old pub with a modern extension and a garden, with plenty of shaded seating. It is very geared up for dining these days. The food is good and reasonably priced. Carpark can get quite full but there are a lot of spaces.”

  “We had dinner at The Gate in Arkley this evening. We’ve visited before and found it to be okay, but unfortunately this visit fell well below expectations. The atmosphere was pleasant enough, and the recently renovated conservatory area looks really nice. However, the service was the main issue. While the staff were not rude, they lacked warmth and attentiveness, and everything felt unnecessarily slow. It wasn’t particularly busy, yet we still waited over 15 minutes just to receive the card reader so we could pay and leave, which summed up the overall experience. The food was also disappointing. I ordered the Thai red curry with beef as a special, but it was underwhelming. The dish consisted mostly of rice and what appeared to be burnt naan bread, with very little meat or vegetables in the curry itself. It felt unbalanced and poorly executed. My partner ordered the teriyaki salmon and was similarly disappointed with her meal. On a positive note, the halloumi with chilli jam starter was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. Overall, while the setting was fine, it was let down by poor service and a disappointing main course. Sadly, based on this experience, we wouldn’t plan to return.”

  “Went for lunch when visiting family in London. The Gate is a popular restaurant with plenty of room and garden area. A lot of choice of meals. The staff was attentive and helpful. The meals were nice, but I thought my rice in the Katsu chicken did not have enough curry sauce. The others in our family had items with salad and all of them were tasty and nice. The parking can be difficult especially on the weekend and busy days. Would definitely go again.”

  “Proper British gastro Pub with excellent staff. Been here a few times this year with friends and with my partner. All successful visits. The salmon 🍣 with sweet potato fries and delicious fresh salad was worth writing about so too the spicy chicken wings 🍗 starter, this was a generous portion so too the main course. Excellent wine 🍷 and superb well kept London Pride ale 🍺 All boxes ☑️ ticked. We spent £35/head.”

  “Food quality is better than most pubs in the UK that are known for serving poor food. I liked the vibe and friendly service, and there’s plenty of free parking with no registration required.”

  “The Gate in North London is a lovely cottage-style restaurant that offers a warm, inviting atmosphere perfect for a relaxed meal. The setting is one of its biggest strengths—with cozy indoor seating and beautifully arranged outdoor spaces, it’s a great spot for both sunny days and quiet evenings. The food was excellent. The sea bass fillet and the salmon dish were both standouts—fresh, well-cooked, and full of flavor. You can tell the kitchen puts care into the ingredients and presentation. It took them forever to come attend us, extremely slow. If there’s one downside, it’s the service. While the staff were friendly, the pace was noticeably slow. It took longer than expected to get our food and drinks, which made the meal feel a bit drawn out. Still, the quality of the food and the ambiance more than made up for it. If you’re not in a rush and want to enjoy a relaxed dining experience in a picturesque setting, The Gate is absolutely worth a visit.”

  “Haven't been here for a few years, but we decided to come and have a late lunch with my husband and mother in law. Can't book a table here but managed to get a table, no problem. Our waitress was Ella P, and she was lovely and friendly. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the haddock fishcakes for starters. Wont leave it so long before coming again.”
