Quinno _ left this review about Garden Gate
A ‘wrong side of the tracks’ place which is a fair distance from town, this is a classic GBG community pub tick. Bar the tedious greyification of the interior it's fairly tidy over an inverse U shape, with a few prints and nice curtains to give a bit of homeliness. GBG listed with three cask available on my Bank Holiday Monday visit though a bit samey unfortunately, all in the ‘pale and hoppy’ camp: Hog's Back Nirvana, Dark Star Hophead and a fresh-on Surrey Hills Ranmore (NBSS 4) served-up by a fairly taciturn guv’nor. Less grey paint and more ale variety would elevate this one to a must-do, the basics are there.

An Edwardian town pub whose two original bars have been conjoined, well described by Maldenman, below. The music was a bit too loud for my liking, but the landlord was welcoming and the locals friendly. It's dog friendly and seems to have been recently decorated. Four ales on were Tribute, GK IPA, Ranmore and Good Old Boy, all in very good condition. One of the better pubs in the area and a definite for a crawl or a good evening's drinking.

Two areas partially divided with an archway through at the rear which clearly indicates the original layout, as do the remaining two doors and entrance lobby. There is a further small room to the rear beyond the toilet corridor which has a dartboard and a TV. Fireplaces each side as you would expect, lower wainscoted walls, leaded upper light windows.
The pub is comfortable and welcoming being carpeted and with curtains at the windows and the service was friendly and warm. Outdoor seating to the side looked well appointed and not just a smokers' den.
Four handpumps, impressive for a pub away from the town centre so without passing trade, all on, Tribute, Landlord, GK IPA plus Hog's Back Surrey Nirvana which was first rate.
I'm fairly sure they do food although around 2ish on a Saturday there was no sign.
Worth the walk up the hill away from town, certainly one of the few decent pubs in Aldershot.
Watch out for the opening hours, often not before 5 in the week.
