We’ve got everything you need from a country pub near you.

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 spring 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.

We look forward to welcoming you!
