The Gate Hangs High Reviews

Excellent pub, great food

An excellent place to stay behind the pub with pleasant views. We visited the Hook Norton Brewery, which is great. The pub was very friendly and the food and service was excellent.

Absolutely wonderful

We stayed at the top of the field with friends for 4 nights. Perfect location, beautiful fields in view. The pub attached to the field was lovely. Amazing home cooked steak and on the Sunday we had the carvery. The staff were wonderful. The owner of the pub was so nice and friendly. We just can’t fault this location and the Cotswolds is just stunning.

Fantastic!

Really enjoyed our stay here. A lot of campsites around this area are really expensive, this place is not! Super reasonable! No messing around with camping, just pitch up where there is space. Pub is great, staff were really friendly and the service was excellent. Fantastic atmosphere and busy for a weekday evening which is always great to see. Food was really good and reasonably priced. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you very much!

Thank you for your review.

Very good site for motorhome stay

Lovely, quiet site behind pretty pub garden despite being near busy road. Pub food (home made steak pie) was excellent. Good access, Hook Norton village is a 25 min walk away. Such a lovely area to explore & the site had everything we needed.

Great camping

Lovely location, great food at pub and nice welcome. Dog friendly and reasonable priced meals. Had a lovely overnight stay. The only negative was we were woken up at 6am by industrial traffic next door. Not what you want on a relaxing morning.

Cool in Oxfordshire

Cool little pub with a good sized campsite, occasional live music free of charge. And good beer

Good pub campsite

The campsite is located to the rear of a very good pub. The beer was well kept and the food prices were reasonable. We visited on a Bank Holiday weekend when the campsite was very busy. There was a classic car show on the Saturday afternoon and a live Ska band on the Sunday evening, both of which were unexpected bonuses. The campsite has limited facilities in terms of toilets and only one shower. These became somewhat overwhelmed due to the high number of people staying. All the staff were very friendly and doing their best to cope with the peak trade.

From Norfolk

Easy to access, friendly staff, could have been more menu choice at the weekend.

We was running a reduced menu this weekend as we are in transition of a whole new menu. Thank you.

Awesome

Friendly, fun and plenty to do. Katie and team look after you with a nothing is to much trouble attitude. Great place, facilities were spot on and the Sunday lunch is to die for. The food was very very good.

Thank you Sean, we look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

Pleasant stay Gate Hangs High

Field site next to good pub with great food and beer , there is a heavy plant yard next door so if you looking for total peace and quiet this is probably not the site for you.

Great pub site

Very convenient for Hook Norton and the brewery. The Gate Hangs High has a good selection of beers, very tasty food and friendly staff. Also dog friendly. Only downside is there is no hardstanding pitches so it's difficult in wet weather. But we will be back!

Weekend away

Where do I begin!! From the food, campsite and the people we loved every part of our stay!! Never felt so welcome in a place! We will be back for sure and we can't wait to see what they have in store to do with the place!! LOVED the stay!!! Even got to listen to live music with a pint and enjoyed a tractor race!!

Great place, lovely people

It was pouring with rain when we arrived quite late in the afternoon. Got chatting to a lovely guy in the car park who turned out to be one of the owners. He let us tick into the corner of the car park overnight as lees chance of getting stuck. Are in the pub. Food was AMAZING! Lovely staff. Sadly I didn't get the name of our little waitress but she was great. Would go back.

The Gate Hangs High. Great friendly campsite

Absolutely lovely site, still work in progress as only taken over site 2 months before, lovely people, tractor rally, excellent pub with live music . We will be returning. X

Brilliant location staff very friendly and helpful 10/10

Good location and handy to have the pub a stones throw away

Good location, under new management with improvements underway

We stayed here on a soggy day, which exposed the challenge of the grass pitches. Most have EHU but the ground was very soft. It's been taken over fairly recently and a lot of work has been done to the pub and outside drinking areas. The facilities for the campsite have yet to be improved and included 1 shower with toilet and 1 additional toilet. The hot water was incredibly hot and difficult to adjust, we did raise this with the owners who were going to have this fixed. Lovely pub and food (dirty steak fries a big hit with us). Would recommend in dry weather :)

Excellent food

An ideal place for an excellent dinner with great food and service. The camping field and facilities are basic but clean with plenty of room to pitch where you like. The pub garden will be perfect in the summer with lots of tables and new Aunt Sally pitches.

Great stay

I stayed for the one night. Ska band were playing. Very welcoming, great food from pub delivered to our campervan 👍 Will def go again.

Weekend of The Inflatables

We had a great 2 nights Saturday to Monday. Easy to find and well-situated on the side of the road, with a nice big car park. Go into the bar area to be greeted by Kate & her team. We had already pre-booked and paid via the campsite app, so we simply chose our spot with electric. When all set up, we walked up to the local village. It was a 30 minutes walk to The Hook Brewery, which was wow, absolutely stunning and we had pre-booked a tour. Then back to the Gate Hangs High for drinks & food before the evenings entertainment, The Inflatables Ska band. They were brilliant doing 2, 1hr sets. Weather wasn't kind, but everyone made the most of it. On the Sunday we went out for another walk through the village then back to the Gate Hangs High for our pre-booked Sunday lunch. Again, a warm welcome, a drink from the bar and then seated for our lunch. We had Beef & Pork loin with lovely roasted veg & the most amazing cauliflower cheese with mustard in it, yum yum!! Then I had to have the pudding of course!! This was apple & blueberry crumble with custard, which was a big portion & very tasty. All the food was freshly cooked & served to us with a smile. We then went back to our motorhome, chilled for the evening and then had a nice quiet nights sleep. I will say on the Monday morning you could hear the trucks at the skip company leaving at 7-7.30am. Though this didn't bother us at all, as it's a Monday and people need to go to work. Thank you Kate & team, we will definitely return to your lovely pub.

Our stay

Great location and easy to book. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food served in the pub was beautiful and would highly recommend as an evening meal out. Will definitely be coming back.

Great overnighter with my brother

Great little overnighter for me and my brother. Lovely beer, lovely food and lovely people. Thank you to Brett and the team.

Our stay

The couple have only been there a few months, but are having a lot of work done. So although there were workmen and machinery about, it did not interfere with our stay. They have an excellent chef and the food is very good. Didn't use showers or toilets as we have our own, but couples we spoke to said these were very good. Would definitely stop again.

This pub and campsite made us feel so so welcome

Wow, what can we say. Nigel, Kate, Brett and all the fantastic team made us feel super welcome. They always had time to stop and chat, they bent over backwards to ensure the stay was great. This pub and campsite are going places, no doubt we will be going back!

Overnight at The Gate

Had a lovely overnight stay in the field. Great weather, lovely views. The site would benefit from having pitch markers to avoid neighbours parking too close to each other, for safety and privacy reasons. Could also do with a couple more water points. Great pub, and fantastic food. Brett and team were lovely.
