More NewsWelcome to The Old Gate Inn
The Old Gate Inn is well known in Canterbury and across Kent as a fine country pub. A popular pub restaurant famous for great food, we are within sight of Canterbury Cathedral. There is always a warm welcome with roaring log fires, freshly prepared food, a great selection of real ales and a diverse wine menu for you to choose from.
A Little Pub History
Dating back to 1728, the inn was built near the Toll Gate and was originally known as the Sign of the Gate. The first landlord was Richard Howard, who also collected the tolls and was a trained tallow chandler (maker of candles). In 1781 the Old Gate Inn became a coaching house where travellers could rest for a night.
