The Old Gate Inn - Canterbury

I have been going to The Old Gate Inn on and off for many years. There does not seem to be a lot of choice but I thought I would treat my Dad as last time we had a roast there is was really good. Unfortunately the roast potatoes were roasted new potatoes not proper roasties- I can only assume they had lots left from the week before and the yorkshire puddings tasted and looked like the instant oven ones. I ask every time to be put into the restaurant side of the building and am always seated in the part where dogs are allowed. More notice of bookings need to be taken. The new manager there is working hard and very bubbly and the waiter did his best but I think was new. I am not sure whether we will rush to go again.

Very nice restaurant bit we waited over 45 minutes for our food to arrive and it was luke warm. It was very busy in the restaurant being a Saturday lunch time but there didnt appear to be enough staff for the amount of customers.

A great place food good doors and drink, staff are always very nice and helpful.

Quite expensive for what it is. Arrived and they had a great choice of beer I’d draft for any lager drinker. We got to sit outside under a shaded tree which was nice. Quiet and away from city centre, however prices reflect what you’d pay in city centre. Food was satisfactory. Chicken and Pancetta pie good. Vegetable wrap good. Would maybe visit again.

The staff were nice especially our waitress how was lovely,really nice food we won’t eat anywhere else from now on when we are In Canterbury,looking forward to returning have told my brother in law and his wife about it and they are going next week.
