Cask Ale Range

At The Gate, like all Ember Inns, we love Real Cask Conditioned Ales. They're great on their own, but they're even better with something delicious from our Pub Food Menu. And our selection changes weekly from over 90 different brewers to help us maintain our position as probably the best Real Ale pub in Northwood.

You ask, we've got the cask!

Making the darker and colder months altogether more bearable are the uplifting and moreish seasonal ales that come with them. But Cask Ales are incredibly diverse and at The Gate we've got your perfect cask beer in our special seasonal selection. And we've also got a unique way to help you find it!

Sip Before You Sup

To help you get your head (and your lips!) round our ever changing range, we'll let you try our Real Ales for free before you buy! Our regular visitors from Rickmansworth, Northwood and Watford often find a completely different range of beers every time they visit. Sip Before You Sup helps them choose their favourite Real Ale every time.

Please drink responsibly.
