A small, friendly and welcoming local community pub just south-west of the town centre, the Garden Gate is based within easy walking distance of the railway and bus stations. Widely claimed to have been built for Prussian mercenaries based nearby, though this is historically dubious, the Garden Gate is now a focal point for the local community. It has a small single bar serving two distinct drinking areas. There is a separate back room leading to a small partially covered patio and smoking area to the rear. Two regular beers are generally on tap at the start of the week, including a rebranded house beer Wobbly Gate, whose origin is a closely guarded secret. Surrey Hills Ranmore, a rare sight locally, is the best seller. These are supplemented by one or two guests later in the week depending on demand. Major free to air sports events are shown. The pub houses a community defibrillator, which was funded by the Thursday night quiz and received a Special Award from CAMRA in June 2023 to reflect the work done with this within the local community. Note that final entry time Thursday to Saturday evening is 10.45pm.
