Food is good. Typical pub food but enjoyable. Service was good. Had the blackjack burger with fries
Chill spot. Nice that they have a pool table. Decent cocktails at reasonable prices. Food was ok... We had nachos which were fresh but needed more toppings e.g. guac. Had the butter chicken. Naan was packaged and the chicken was overdone/reheated. The fish tacos had the biggest pieces of fish I've ever seen. Would return as the location is convenient.
Came here for the England Football match. Unfortunately the bar was understaffed and run ragged. However we are quite understanding and it took no time for us to order drinks or food. Our waitress was absolutely solid with a flawless memory to boot. The kitchen, as expected, was terribly backed up so it took quite some time to receive our food but that was fine. The nachos were hot and delicious. I love that they are served on a pita and not just a plate which allows for more! However it's not the cleanest or most cost-saving place. Nachos are $18 ($24 with chicken) and two of us were able to polish them off. For 3 pints, (4 pops? Free refills?) And Nachos, our bill was almost $100. The bathrooms, as well, still smell of urine and have cobwebs piling up from what seems like the 1800's. I'm sure it's lovely for a quick stop and pint but we're not likely to return.
This is my second time visiting and the food is always amazing. Despite the fact I was a little difficult to deal with for my dietary needs the staff was very accommodating and polite. I'll always come back here when in the area. And the beer on tap is fresh and amazing. Thank you.
start off with the worst service ever at lunch time. no refills on drinks and never cleaned any dirty dishes away from table never checked in once on our meals and made us feel like a inconvenience to her. the bill was $82 dollars, we did not get $82 dollars worth or food or service. i ordered butter chicken served in large soup bowl with one small pieces of naan cut in four. i’ll mention they charge $24 for this dish. also the dish was tasty but butter chicken is my go to at pubs and never tasted butter chicken sauce like the sauce on this dish. my recommendation go somewhere else for food.
Friendly family run British style pub with excellent food and service!! Harry, Louis, Steven, Simi and Gin all make it a great trip to the pub! Private events or just dinner and drinks, always a great experience . Thanks guys!
Everything inside the restaurant is really nice. They even have a pool table and live entertainment. I guess at night time, but there wasn’t anything when I went during a lunchtime. The reason why I didn’t give it five stars because the service there was horrible. I went with my daughter at lunchtime and it wasn’t super busy and the server was not friendly at all. Didn’t check if our meals were good. Nothing!!
I went to London Gate Pub for the first time yesterday. Overall it was good but the service was slow and I had to constantly call the servers over and over again. In the end I had to even go up and ask for my bill. The food was good but the service not so much. Fish tacos were great, the burger and the french fries were also good. I even tried the Nachos and it was interesting that they put it on a pita bread. It held up and they were very tasty. I would of given them a 5 star, however, the service just wasn’t there.
Tacos here were absolutely delicious. Very spacious as well and the staff gave a great recommendation. Highly recommend Parking: Lots of parking right in front
Its noisy but everything else is great!
The food is alright. I wouldnt go for food but just drinks after work. Huge space.
Ordered nachos and lamb burger they were both disappointing. We felt bad for our server it was busy and they were so under staffed. The manager was disorganized running around not to mentied did not even know what came on the nachos. We will not be back and we do not recommend. Food
We sat on the patio. Lovely afternoon sun. The waiter was great. Got all our orders fine. Got the food quickly and the check. Some of our party had a flight to catch so we were close to the airport. Great spot.
Sat at the bar for 15 minutes nobody came to serve. It wasn t busy at all.
Best experience
The service was basically non-existent. They were absolutely not interested in serving customers. I had to walk up to the bar twice to ask for a dipping sauce and a drink refill, and they looked annoyed! Unbelievable. There were 3 people working and they came by my table a total of zero times. Dont bother, there are so many similar pubs in the area that provide excellent service. I cant imagine this place sees alot of repeat business, I will never go back.
Everything was average. The worst thing was the group(25) I was with was unaware there was a 18% gratitude added to each of our bills.
Highly recommend NOT going here. Went during lunch, it wasnt busy, the service was absolutely HORRIBLE. Was barely even acknowledged. No follow ups if we needed anything or any top ups on drinks. Sat there for 20 minutes and no one even attempted to take our order. The chef came out (thats how not busy they were) and HE took our orders. Ordered a drink listed ON their menu; response was we dont have that. Dont waste your money here. Not worth it to be ignored and treated with attitude by the two owners who seem to be the only wait staff.
Literally got off the plane, googled the closest pub this one came up!! Smashing food!! Had the tandoori flatbread and steak pie amazing, quick fast service love it!!
Extremely disappointed in the service..we were a party of 50..no waitress service..even though they had plenty of notice of reservation....very poor
The New York Steak Sandwich was very tasty and so were the Bangers & Mash. The Food is good value for the money, however the drinks are very expensive. It is a good venue for Group functions, but for a date night out I would find it a bit too big.
Good food
Vindaloo was fantastic. Nice spot.
Rude service from the owner and overpriced, mediocre, low quality food. An all around a terrible place. I have worked in the area for years and this is one of many failed restaurants at this location. Just go the nearby Boston Pizza if you want a mediocre pub experience. My entire office has blacklisted this place. Don t make the same mistake that we did.
Great food! Great Service!!
My buddies and I went here on a Wednesday night. It wasnt busy. Service was friendly but very slow. Food was good. The bartender who served our table seemed disinterested in our business. He was more focused on cleaning and closing up.
Love this place, memories are attached from when we used to work down the street.
Decent pub food with good service.
Good food. Average beer selection (ie: no craft or local) but they were showing Champions league soccer so that was the draw. It was a bit distracting to have a loud, pseudo-mafioso, gambling Syndicate dominating the room, bragging about their winnings though I had no personal interaction with them. Not necessarily the bars fault.
Clean, friendly service, great pub food. Almost empty at 3pm on a Saturday but probably because its hotel restaurant. Food
Amazing place for a Team event or a hang out with friends specially if you follow sports and want to have a fun time.
Great food and great service. Friday and Saturday nights are decent here. Amazing place to stop by for lunch as well. Chef is great!
Had lunch yesterday the place was fairly empty service seemed off was had to catch someone to pay the bill. Fish Tacos were amazing portions were great
At first glance you may think its typical pub grub, but if you grab the Butter Chicken, or ask Harry nicely and maybe hell make you the Chicken Korma and youll know it more than a typical pub. Was a regular when my office was in the complex, now I make special excuses to drive to Etobicoke.
Very good ambiance, great service and lastly lips smacking food..
I normally dont take the time to write a bad review, but I felt compelled. I arrived hoping to enjoy a good burger and a pint with my family - the burgers were burned. No one checked in with us to see how the food was, so we ate most of the burger anyway. When we asked for the bill, the waiter asked, how was it? and we said the burgers were burned. He explained that they needed to overcook them for food inspection regulations. Then he brought us the wrong bill, which my husband paid without double checking. Then, after my husband walked outside, they came after me to say they gave us the wrong bill and wanted me to pay an extra $30. I was so unimpressed that they had terrible food, terrible service and did nothing to try to improve the situation. I will never go back to this restaurant.
Bathrooms are not cleaned regularly. Food is not served on clean dishes and the young gentleman serving us was very disrespectful. The gentleman with arm tattoo sleeves.
Nice place, quick service, clean
A really cool place to hangout for a drink and chat. Liked the ambience, the vibe & the food complimented the place too. Had a small game area too and enjoyed playing a pool game. All in all a cool place to enjoy
Nice place to grab some beers and Nachos
Food was great. Server was very friendly. I want to go back!
This place is great! Had an event there and the room where they hold events is spectacular and cozy. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food is great and excellently priced.
Super friendly staff. Quick service & no mistakes. Wasnt too loud - good for conversation. They also have a Golden Tee video machine!
This used to be my old watering hole when it was The Snowgoose, went back to watch the Leafs game with an old friend , super nice staff , very friendly and the tandoori flat bread was top notch
Stephen buddy your service and food is amazing. Keep it up.
It was good experience during the Wednesday lunch time, we were 10+ people walk-in without reservation, and staff accommodate us with nice service. Simmy was serving the table. Drinks, apps and mains all comes with perfection and in expected timeframe.
Came to this restaurant with a group of colleagues for dinner after work. We all agreed that London Gate is a hidden gem in the Etobicoke area. We enjoyed a great selection of German beer and pub fare. The steak sandwich was perfectly cooked and the fish tacos were scrumptious. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. We highly recommend and we ll definitely be back!
Great place and owners
Spacious restaurant, friendly staff,
A great British pub feel and experience. The food and drinks here are amazing and the owner and his staff are very knowledgeable and attentive. It is like being in London England without being in London. The fish and chips certainly reminded me of my travels to England.
Beautiful interior. Nice club sammie
Had a pleasant memory of Cobb salad having somewhere. But not so this time. Friendly, pleasant service.
Nice place. Unfortunately the beer selection was poor
Good service and excellent finger food
We visited the London Gate Pub before our flight out of Pearson as a family of 8 (5 adults, 3 children). The food was good however the service was awful. We were ignored besides when we asked to order food and get our bill. Service was non existent despite several employees being present in the bar/kitchen area. After dinner was served we were never checked on and we had to request the bill. There was only 1 other table during our time in the restuarant. We felt like we were a burden as customers and would not recommend this restaurant based on the horrendous service provided.
The food was so so, the beer was ok....
I had passed by this place so many times and wanted to try it, and did so this evening with a few friends. There were flies that were hovering over our food when the dishes came out (and while we were eating), and the excuse given by the wait staff was so lame, I wont even repeat it here. There is absolutely no excuse for why this should happen. Ive eaten at many other restaurants indoors in the summer, and this is the only one where Ive run into this issue. Apart from that, the wait staff were attentive and friendly, nor did it take very long to receive our food and drinks - all very tasty! I loved the decor as well. I may be back, but only next winter when there arent any flies.
Great place with great food and service... very friendly ownership.
The beer was cold.
Quite empty for a Friday night! it turned into a hilarious night of adventurous beer recommendations, navigating through the unknown brews!
Try the bull instead
A hidden gem. Great food. Very tasteful decor and friendly staff
Worst experience here we were group of 12 people first we told them we are all together and then somehow someone from the group told it will be separate so at that time the staff was really upset with that. And secondly for myself I just had one drink and one food item and my bill was 38$ are you kidding me. I had one veg wrap so it should be less because I changed in Buffalo wrap so I made that veg wrap so instead of price going down they added additional 2.5$ charge really?they are not putting Buffalo then why you guys are charging additional 2.5$ on total amount. Also they charged me hefty gratuity for what? Serving was ok food was not to that mark and they charged gratuity every single person. Ridiculous won t suggest anyone who are thinking to go in group never go there. And if you are vegetarian don t even think to go here at any cost.
I ordered one piece of fish and was really bad. Very expensive and taste is terrible.
Food was not good in taste. Fish was soggy, too much greasy and terrible taste. Gratuity was a lot they charged. Even after charging, only 1 server was there to serve, they delayed in getting Food on table in no rush hour. Noticed some ignorance behavior when asked to click picture of us.
Had a wonderful experience at London gate. The food was amazing and the staff was even better. The manager was super kind and personal came out to speak to myself and my family. Loved my plant based wrap. Very impressed with the vegetarian options available and the beer selection was great. I would highly recommend this place, and I will definitely be returning.
My friends and I love stopping by this hidden gem right before our flights for a drink and a few bites! Also cant forget to mention the super friendly staff that is very welcoming and kind. Our party usually has a very complicated order with lots of restrictions, and all of the staff & servers always make sure to pay close attention to the details.
Lovely spot. I love beer, and their tap list is very nice focused on mainly commercial brands (European and North American). I had fish and chips: one piece is very large portion. My wife had the beef dip. Great flavour! Kids enjoyed their club house sandwiches as well.
Good food. The best mozzarella sticks! Good fish and chips too. Also recommend the roast beef dip. Fresh and cold beer. Great and friendly service. Will def. Come back.
Stopped here for some food, whilst having a layover in Toronto. Nice little bar, it was not busy, so service was very quick and friendly. Food was decent and reasonably priced. Food : 5/5
My son and I have had the opportunity to eat here twice out on the patio and think they deserve a mention. The food was absolutely amazing both times, and the service was top-notch. Special thanks to our Host Simi for outstanding service.
Had a school reunion here. The band were really very good but a bit too loud for the size of the pub. Unfortunately, it was hard to hear people in a normal conversation. Had a really good time though. Wheelchair accessibility: I am quite sure from what I saw that entering or exiting with a wheelchair would not be an issue.
Strangely empty for a pub on a Saturday, but def worth the visit. Good food, nice place, decent staff
Amazing place..
Very nice pub with good food and friendly staff
The fries were really delicious but the beyond burger I got was very bland and I would not recommend it . They didnt have many options for vegeterians or fish so that was disappointing. Vegetarian options: Would not recomend for vegeterians
Enjoyed a milestone birthday party with 70 people and the band Delayed Reaction last night. Everything was excellent. Food pre-arranged. Thank you, Simi, and the staff at London Gate Pub for helping to make the night memorable. Thank you to the band, Delayed Reaction, for the wonderful entertainment. An excellent party!
Come here if you enjoy watered down beer
I enjoyed my time at London Gate Pub. Service was great. Food was good. And service was impeccable. We got mostly drinks. Lol.
The staff are amazing, very well behaved, beverages are good, food was not good
Grabbed a quick dinner here and it was good and service was extremely fast and friendly
Food was good, price is on par with other Pubs.
Best food
Very comfortable environment for lunch. Food is delicious with lots of choices on the menu.
We came here to celebrate my moms birthday with a party of 10 people and it was great!! Our server was super outgoing and made sure we had everything we needed. Food was very good too! The wings were tasty, calamari was fresh, and the fries were delicious. Cant complain about anything. Plus, they have lots of TVs, perfect for sports games!
Service is excellent and you can tell the food is done from scratch. Great place. Will be great when the patio is open and live music is back.
Went for Tuesday night wing special. Basically you saved $4 by not getting veggies and dip. The food and service was decent, but about what you would expect for a pub. The sweet potato and regular fries were great though. Definitely getting those again
Friendly staff and great food
Fish and chips. Fullers London Pride in a proper beer glass. Recommended.
Great staff. Had fun playing pool with the regulars.
Great food. Friendly staff. Had fun playing pool
Highly recommend! Friendly family run, great food, great customers.
Attended a luncheon event today - staff was amazing. Food was good.
Good food and service
Food was too dry...It was too difficult to gulp... I will not recommend anyone first entertaining your valued guests..Horrible place. Quantity .for finger food $150 per platter was not even sufficient to feed 5 members.. Very bad experience
We visited this Saturday and I have to say those were THE BEST FISH TACOS I have eaten in a long time!!, the fish was fresh, the batter was perfect! so much so that I feel compelled to write this review. I will be coming back for more Fish tacos and a good pint, :D
Service was less than impressive, food was very bland and very costly for tasteless food Not impressed with all of it!
Good place however, service is way too late.
By far one of my favorite restaurants. I come here at least twice a week with my buddies to enjoy a nice meal and have a drink. The customer service always exceeds expectations and I couldn t be more happier. I highly recommend coming here and trying the tandoori flatbread, wings, or buffalo chicken wrap! Thanks
Good place for friends and teams get together Good service and food was also good
Cajun Chicken Wings: Service was brilliant, the wings were not so bad. I still enjoyed it but the flavour didn t hit the meat. Would still visit but I have had better and cheaper.
Patio is great!
Definitely the spot to host your next event! Service, food and ambience were top notch
Decent vibes
Great place close to work to unwind and have a drink with friends.
Big British Beer selection! Large varied menu and lots of room!
Super friendly owner! Great staff and a good pub. Proper English food if you re looking for it.
Food was underwhelming, fries were underdone. The only positive from London Gate was the price and taste of the Stella. $9 a pint is fair. Would not recommend this place.
I asked if the jambalaya was spicy and he told me that he would order it for me if it was not. I get this watered down sauce which has a vinegary or something flavor to it which was not pleasant at all. When I mentioned it the waiter brought the chef over and he said oh I made that fresh 2 days ago I can replace it if you want in a manner that made me say no. I ate less than half took it home and then threw it away. $20 wasted and for three people with tip a hundred bucks that I cant afford. Apparently the fish and chips were very good and so was the Beyond Burger and the fries
Food was not fresh bathrooms were disgusting
The cleanliness could use some work. The food is adequate at best and the server with us was a tad intrusive.
Good selection of on tap beers. Good variety of food options, vegetarian included.
Wouldnt start a tab, even with a credit card. Wanted to buy food, but Im not paying for it first dining in. I was told it is policy. Ludicrous.
Loved it
Great place. Close to home
Large space. Nice patio. Washrooms could use more attention
Good food
The servers are very friendly and personable, however the food was nothing special. I started with jalapeno poppers. They were cold in the centre when I got them. I asked the server and they indicated that they are hard to cook as the insides may spill out if theyre overcooked. May be time to take them off the menu. Fish and chips was ok. Not a fan of excessive breading Was given a diet soda when I didnt order diet but didnt want to complain at that point. If I do return I will for sure order something different Final note, website needs updating, prices are not the same as what is shown on the physical menus.
Had lunch and a beer. Cesar wrap was good. Service was quick.
We loved this place. Great beer selection and super friendly staff!
Friendly staff, cold beer, good food.
Repulsive in terms of cleanliness. The gentleman waiter with the tattoos is very intrusive and forgets your drink order while babbling on about his own life for 15 whole minutes. Shameful
Nice restaurant, delicious food
I would love to give this a higher rating. Had many good times here over the years. Food was ok. Service was excellent. The World Cup was on over lunch but it wasnt so loud we couldnt speak. Will be back here
I took three old work buddies to Lions Gate for lunch at 1pm today (Dec 5th). Service was great Food was excellent. Two of us had fish and chips. Delicious. Im British/Canadian and know my f&c.
This restaurant is amazing. I love the authentic food and the fast/friendly service. The staff are amazing. I have taken many clients to this restaurant for lunch and dinner and they love it. I strongly recommend this place if your looking for great food or a quick drink after work. 5 stars from me :)
This is by far one of the best restaurants for small intimate groups and large private events. We have many functions at this restaurant. The food is one of a kind and service is on point. Keep up the good work. Mike & John
Amazing service!
Spent time with my colleagues and the drinks and food and place was great. For sure I WILL go again.
Good food - dont expect much traditional English Pub food, though - mostly Indian and Ethnic dishes but delicious all the same.
Amazing food and service!!
Meh. Not my scene, but the food was decent and the staff friendly. Mainly for the 50+ crowd it seems.
Great food and restaurant.
Very nice look, service and good food
Very good food Beer was excellent Will be back!
Exceptional pub, done to the 9s. Service a little lack luster but food better than average.staff having a chat behind the bar rather than topping up my pint. The staff super friendly regardless.
