About This Pub

Ah, The Gate Street Bar & Grill – it's one of those places that just hits the spot when you're after a good pub experience in Blackburn. From the reviews I've seen, the food is spot on; folks are going on about how tasty everything is, with the cajun chicken pizza being a standout that you'd struggle to finish in one go. Pair that with the chicken gyro and you've got meals that are well worth the price, especially if you're diving into their bottomless brunch deals – perfect for a laugh with mates without breaking the bank. The staff really shine too; they're all about making your visit enjoyable, whether it's sorting out last-minute changes for a group or just being dead helpful all round. It's got that warm, welcoming feel that makes you feel right at home. On the flip side, it's a shame they don't have proper takeaway options, so if you fancy saving some grub, you might end up improvising a bit. Plus, with it only being open five days a week, you'll need to keep an eye on the times to avoid disappointment. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed night out – I'd say give it a try if you're in the area, as long as you go in with realistic expectations.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is absolutely delicious – reviewers rave about dishes like the cajun chicken pizza and chicken gyro, all cooked to perfection and full of flavour.
  • Service is top-notch; the staff go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly, whether you're in a big group or just popping in.
  • It's brilliant value for money, especially for things like bottomless brunch, where you get plenty of drinks and amazing food without any silly restrictions.
  • A welcoming spot for gatherings, with excellent presentation and a relaxed vibe that makes it easy to enjoy a meal or a few drinks.
Cons
  • They don't have takeaway boxes, which can be a bit of a nuisance if you want to save some food for later, though the staff are helpful with alternatives.
  • Only open five days a week, so you might have to plan around that if you're hoping for a spontaneous visit.
  • No website listed, which makes it trickier to check the menu or book ahead online – you'd have to just turn up or call.

Had a fantastic meal the cajun chicken pizza was to die for. I struggled to eat all of it, so I took half home for later. My only moan was there was no box for takeaway. But the staff were really helpful and gave me lots of serviettes so it wasn't a problem. The chicken gyro was equally as good. Quality food at really reasonable prices.
