The Gate was a bar, club, and restaurant serving pan-Asian food in [[Locale Notting Hill|Notting Hill]], located in a basement below the [[Gate Picturehouse]]. It has now closed. As of October 2018 the entrance is boarded up <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/30638846737/ photo]</small>, and although there's a premises licence application for "The Little Yellow Door" taped to the boards <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/44665881765/ photo]</small>, this dates from April 2017. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> Bar, club, and restaurant serving pan-Asian food in [[Locale Notting Hill|Notting Hill]], located in a basement below the [[Gate Picturehouse]]. It appears to have been there for some time; we spotted a licensing application dating from 2006. Judging by some reviews, the food style used to be different, but as of 2011 they offer a menu of pan-Asian options including dim sum. [[Kake]], [[Ewan]], and [[Kerry]] visited on a Wednesday evening in November 2011. We had a Groupon offer voucher which entitled us to a platter of dim sum plus two cocktails, and we ordered a couple of extra dishes and an extra cocktail to round this out. Har gow <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/6607948701/ photo]</small> were sloppily-made and badly overcooked. Scallop dumplings <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/6607528993/ photo]</small> were actually mostly prawn; also, the wrappers were a bit thick, but at least not overcooked. Gyoza <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/6607919417/ photo]</small> were Japanese-style rather than Chinese-style; they were OK. Siu mai were also OK, but nothing special. Service was a little scattered; the tap water we asked for never arrived, and after finishing our first round of cocktails the wait for a member of staff to order more was long enough that we eventually decided not to bother. Nevertheless, a 12.5% service charge was automatically added to the bill. [[Kake]]'s verdict: Mediocre. I can't imagine wanting to come back. Accessibility: Access is via a flight of steps with a non-continuous handrail on one side.
