Welcome to City Gate

Charming pub in the heart of Exeter, serving the best of British seasonal food and home to 20 beautiful bedrooms above.

Rugby World Cup

It's the moment we've all been waiting for, the return of rugby season! We'll be showing all the action of the Rugby World Cup this September. Join us for a buzzing match day atmosphere.

Cosy Nights

Colder months call for the cosiest stays. Enjoy two nights in one of our lovely bedrooms, a meal in the pub (on either night), breakfast each morning, and a winter cocktail as a warming welcome (a Glenfiddich Winter Buck or Hendrick’s Spiced G&T with Fever-Tree Tonic). And it's all for two people, from £299.

Eat with the seasons

From dippy eggs at breakkie through to show stopping Sunday roasts, our talented Head Chef Al Morgan has curated a versatile menu using only the best of British seasonal ingredients.
