4.1 / 5 (2976 reviews)

Description

The Starting Gate has garnered mixed feedback from diners, highlighting both commendable service and notable shortcomings in food quality. While some patrons rave about the delicious steaks and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that accommodates dogs and motorhomes, others express disappointment due to unavailability of menu items and subpar dishes, such as stale bread and poorly cooked entrees. Despite the inconsistency, many appreciate the reasonable prices and the friendly staff who strive to resolve issues. For a casual dining experience with a mix of traditional fare and community spirit, it may still appeal to those willing to overlook occasional pitfalls.

All the food we ordered was absolutely delicious, hot and there were no issues with anything missing or wrong. The staff were absolutely lovely too. We will definitely be returning!

My partner and I, both of Portuguese nationality, were traveling in a motorhome and decided to stop at the Starting Gate for lunch. We were pleased with the delicious typical English food, the friendly staff, and the convenient park for overnight stay with our motorhome. We highly recommend this establishment and look forward to visiting again. Thank you and until next time.
