More than 200 years old, this classic country pub has a main bar with a central log fire, tiled floors, and scrubbed wooden tables. A separate restaurant was opened recently in the adjacent old bakery, and has an old oven as a focal point. The lovely garden has a stream, ducks and apple trees. The Gate Acoustic club meets on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month. The local mummers perform at Christmas. Boxing Day is always special, with mummers and morris dancers at lunchtime.
