We were totally shocked by this adorable pub! In what seems like the middle of nowhere pops up this driveway that takes you to the beautiful property of Crow & Gate Pub. The atmosphere was incredible— English style pub, very cozy and with adorable tacky decor.
The staff was incredible— our server Blair made the experience that much better. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and incredibly friendly. Thank you so much, Blair!!
Last but not least, the food. We ordered the Mac and cheese, beef dip, grilled cheese on a gluten free bun, and the ploughman board. I thought the Mac and cheese was okay, and I was not crazy about the potato salad. But the board was HUGE and full of yummy snacks, the beef dip was giant and delicious, and the grilled cheese was possibly one of the best we’ve had! I am always a skeptic of gluten free bread, but their HOUSE MADE gluten free buns were even better than regular bread!
We had a great experience, and will recommend to anyone we know stopping through Nanaimo.
