"We went for our Work Christmas Do, we were all there in plenty of time, asked by the staff to sit down for 6.45 there was two larger tables in the back of the pub, one for us and another for another group, we were all seated by 7 and had drinks, we waited and waited for the starters to come out, but nothing happened, no one came to say why we were not getting our food, our manager had to go and find someone only to be told that they were short staffed, the other group were also waiting, we finally had our starters at nearly 9oclock which were very poor, supposed to be Duck Rillettes, it was a very poor it was basically Duck meat and onion in a small pot and two stale pieces of bread, I had to ask for butter just to make it able to be stuck to the bread, but buy this time we were so hungry that I ate it, the main came out which was ok, Christmas dinner but again small portions I think not had two Brussels Sprouts which were like bullets, and finally, the desserts, mine was a chocolate mousse which looked like it had been sat for ages as it was very watery and unpleasant, I didn’t eat it, we were very disappointed with the hole experience, they couldn’t cope with so many people, other people that had come in to eat at the front of the restaurant were getting fed but both of our group and the other larger group were just left waiting, they couldn’t even bring us out some bread to keep us going. Wouldn’t recommend them for a Christmas Party!!"

An excellent Sunday roast, supplemented by good service. The restaurant is spacious yet welcoming.

Nice venue, however the service was incredibly slow considering we all prepaid £40 for three course. The starters were an hour and a half late. The communication via emails was also poor and the staff had no access to amend any orders, had to be from the manager only, who seemed to never be present.

We made a reservation for a party of 8 to watch a Six Nations game at this restaurant. Everything was going smoothly with our drinks and food until about 10 minutes before the end of the game when the large screen TV suddenly stopped working! We all had to scramble for our phones to find out if England had managed to defeat Ireland. Luckily, they did win, but just barely. It was definitely a disappointing end to what could have been a memorable victory. It was nobody's fault, just a bit of an anticlimactic finish.

We reserved a table on the City Gate website for six people to meet for drinks on an evening before Christmas. This process was very easy to do on line. Confirmation and reminders were emailed to me before my visit which was reassuring. When we arrived the staff were very helpful in letting us have a choice of seating. The bar staff were friendly and welcoming. There was a good selection of real ales including several draught Christmas ales. We had some bowls of chips as a snack and these are well worth trying. Some of the best the I have tasted!

I made a reservation at this restaurant 5 days in advance. However, I received a call just ONE HOUR before our reservation time to inform me that the kitchen was closed due to a wedding and our booking had been cancelled. I will not be returning to this restaurant after this experience. It was incredibly disappointing to receive an email the following day asking about my visit. This reservation was meant to be a birthday meal for my sister who was visiting, so we had to find an alternative option. Fortunately, we had a wonderful meal at a restaurant nearby.

Rip off! £40 a head food was over an hour late for the first course and then took 45 60 for the next course to come out when we had finished. I wrote that I had allergies when booking however this wasn’t adhered to and I was given food that would have given me a reaction had I not checked it through. I was then only given one option as an alternative. The turkey was incredibly dry, we were given two potatoes, one stuffing ball and one parsnip with a tiny bit of swede each. The dessert was tasty however absolutely tiny! Was maybe the width of two fingers and ten centimetres long when you think that it cost the equivalent of £13 a course it was definitely not worth it. We were offered a free d...

"Owner rude and arrogant! And you can’t trust them and they won’t make your order right by just saying too busy to make it right! I called in to make a booking but told no tables available but I could place an order for takeaway so I ordered two gluten free pizzas. I also asked what size are the gluten free pizza crust and was told 11”. I was told I would need to wait 1 hour 30 minutes and I agreed. I ordered the Gluten free 11 “ crust as advised for one Olive Tree and one Garlicky . When I arrived, I asked the person with the pizzas to confirm the gluten free pizzas. She looked a bit worried and said they were not gluten free. I asked the other girl if I would have to wait another 1.5 hrs and she said they would expedite my pizzas. The owner came over and said he had two vegan pizzas for 8:30 pm and I said that is not what I ordered. He said he was too busy to remake the pizzas. He said the girl that took the order said she didn’t remember gluten free was ordered. As a Celiac , those are the first words out of my mouth when I order any food and I also inquired the size of the gluten free crust and frequently they are pre-made and sealed and I was told they are 11”. He would not remake the pizzas as he said he has to trust his staff. So he implies the customer are lying and uses it as an excuse to not make it right. It doesn’t excuse not remaking the pizzas correctly as ordered gluten free as I was told a few minutes earlier. I assured him I ordered both pizzas gluten free and my wife came in and also confirmed as she heard me place the order on the phone. I realize this pizza must be well done and popular but not to remake the pizzas and imply me a liar and refusing to remake them is unprofessional. I find his behavior arrogant, rude and unprofessional and just because he went to Italy to learn how to make pizza doesn’t make him a good owner and manager. Hopefully, he won’t blow off this review but learn from it. Always make it right for your customers! And never insult your customers! It also suggest he doesn’t care about his customers because he is too busy. He walks away and just repeats he has to trust his employees. Poor excuse for not making the pizzas as ordered! Employees can make mistakes and as a Coeliac I will also double check as I did when I came to pick up the pizzas. I would advise Coeliacs to not try these pizzas as you can’t trust them to make them to your order. Peace be with you! Dietary restrictions You cannot trust this place to make your gluten free as ordered and they won’t remake it if they made it wrong and just say I have to trust my staff. Very Poor attitude from an owner and a bit arrogant! Customers don’t appear to be important and must be lying if they get an order wrong."
