Restaurant Review!
The Crow and Gate l 250.722.3731 l Cedar
It was with utter shock and joy that I found the most authentic English Pub outside of the British Isles. Stuck in the middle of nowhere on Vancouver Island, there lies the quiet English pub, the crow and gate. I had come here hoping to have some excellent local cider but found so much more.
What makes the place so astounding are not menu items such as the Melton Mowbray or the Cheddar Ploughman. It wasn’t the fact that everyone had to queue up to order both their food and drinks. It wasn’t even that fact that the place looked perfect, right down to the uncomfortable booths. No the beauty was the fact that they had somehow captured that atmosphere of ease and comfort. You felt that all these people were just here to whittle away a few hours just like you were. You felt that this was the place that everyone congregated to after a long’s day work. I marveled at it all and drank it all in. That and my fantastic Merridale Estate cider.
