Dating back almost 350 years, The Hanging Gate has become a prominent part of the community of Shottle. We have always welcomed travellers, offering a welcome break for those on long journeys in the area. We even ran a stables so that the horses could take a break whilst the travellers tucked into a hearty bowl of broth.

Our menus are full of hearty favourites and country pub classics, as well as our seasonal dishes, and we’ll be ready with a well-stocked bar, including cask ales, fine wines and British gin to suit very taste - which will taste all the better when enjoyed either in our beautiful gardens or by our crackling log fires.

Set in the foothills to the Peak District, our pub is popular with visitors to Carsington Water and the White Peak. Nearby North Mill Visitor Centre illustrates why Derwent Valley Mills are part of a designated World Heritage Site.
