    Hidden gem

    While the title of this review may sound cliche, this place really is off the beaten path and “hidden”. A cozy English cottage nestled into the countryside on a sprawling property. Even though we visited in the early afternoon, it was busy with locals for...More

    I think part of the experience of visiting the Crow & Gate has to be the journey to get there. Not being very familiar with the area, I find that it seems to be a lengthy journey down some rural roads, past picturesque farms until...More

    Great old pub

    Great food and drink. The atmosphere is magical in the winter with two roaring fires. Be patient as it very popular and you may have to wait for a table. Well worth your trouble.

    Fresh food in a fantastic atmosphere

    The location, grounds, authentic Tudor building and cozy atmosphere alone makes the Crow & Gate worth a visit. Add in delicious, fresh food and you'll want to return again and again and again... Yes, it's busy and you'll have to wait for a table at...More

    Typical English-style Pub

    Typical English style pub with ok food. Good choice of English beer and food. Quite busy at lunch time and you need to stand in line to order food and pay at the same time. Service could be slow at times.

    We love this quaint English pub! The portions are generous, the food is always fresh and delicious; and I must say that the Berry Pies (seasonal) are to die for!!! Also highly recommended is the Mac & Cheese (with a hint of curry - yum),...More

    We were having a treat at the Old Town Bakery in Ladysmith and found out from a couple of locals about the Crow and Gate. We drove there in the dark by following GPS and found the place seemingly out in the middle of nowhere....More

    Beef dip and a beer

    Love visiting this place. It is modeled after an old country pub in Sussex UK. Very authentic and charming!

    It is adult only and I do believe it is walker friendly.. The parking lot is level and the entrance to the pub is along an attractive pathway which is level.

    I believe there is a side door with a ramp as I have seen wheelchairs in the restaurant.
