About The West Gate Inn - JD Wetherspoon

A big, budget-friendly pub restaurant suits a mixed-age group well — there's a kids' menu for the fussier ones, high chairs if you've a baby in tow, and gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. It's a lively, noisy sort of place, which is honestly a relief when your toddler is having a moment: nobody will notice. Step-free access means you can get a buggy in without a struggle, and there's outdoor seating for warmer days or when you need a bit more space. Prices are low, so feeding everyone won't sting.
