The Gatehouse
Barnsley

The Gatehouse sits straight outside Barnsley’s impressive new transport interchange, across from the new Parkway Cinema. Formerly the Devonshire Hotel, the Chatsworth and the Beer Engine, the “Gatehouse” takes its latest name from the Remaking Barnsley imitative as it is on a predominant gateway into the town.
The pub still has the remnants of the original Clarkson’s Brewery windows here and there. Inside there are two drinking areas served from a central bar, which always has regulars stood around it. On the bar are 5 handpulled cask ales. Acorn Brewery’s award winning Barnsley Bitter is the house beer and there are four ever changing guest ales. On my visit the beers were in cracking form with Abbeydale Moonshine, Acorn Fuggles IPA, Wentworth Oatmeal Stout and Ossett Silver King. The Moonshine was particularly delicious. For connoisseurs of top continental beers, there’s imported Staropramen and Leffe on the bar. The Gatehouse has even showcased brand new beers, Acorns new Blond beer was showcased here for the first time in early September and went down a treat...
The pub appeals to lunchtime drinkers and shoppers with a range of value meals. Licensee and former chef Robert Rudge is shortly to take greater control of the menu, so expect him to add some exciting specials to the menu. Food is served weekdays 12-2.30 and 5 - 7 and on Saturday 12 - 4.
The Thursday night karaoke with Leah is always popular. Terrestrial sports events are shown on the large TV.
The pub appeals to both young and old and provides a rare traditional pub in the town centre. Being so close to the transport interchange makes a trip to the Gatehouse from anywhere in the borough easy. Open Monday to Saturday 11 - 11
