The Gate at Bournheath

I really wanted to love this place, the food was really good and a decent price too. The one gripe was the service, it certainly didn't come with a smile, it actually felt like we were hassling them when asking for a drink because the response never felt warming. No one checked on our food after it was brought out, we were wanting sauces but no one asked us about it so ended up without. When we were told they needed the table back, again the approach felt too serious and sudden, there was no friendliness about the service. It could have been a 3/5 but there was a lot to like about it and I'm hoping we caught the waiter/waitress on an off-day.

A lovely pub with great top notch food and good selection of beers etc. The owner needs to sort all of the dining tables. Sand and re stain and varnish, they are always sticky and not always clean because the finish has worn away. 4 for the pub, 0 for the tables. A good place should be proud of their tables.

Hadn't been here for years, so a family visit prompted some dinner. Lovely place to get together with friends or family, although it can get noisy when busy. There are plenty of tables for large or small groups. The service and food was great. Great menu with something for everyone. mainly a fantastic Tex Mex, you get really good portions. The service isn't as attentive, when really busy though. I would recommend and will be returning.
