About the restaurant

Are you tired of the same old Indian restaurants serving up the traditional dishes you've had countless times before? Look no further! The only Indian Gastro Pub in the North West that is redefining what Indian cuisine can be.

At The Ale & Aloo, guests are treated to an innovative and exciting fusion of flavours that combine traditional Indian ingredients with a modern twist. From mouth-watering curries to small plates, every dish on the menu is a celebration of creativity and culinary expertise. What is worth the most attention is the MadrAss Sharing Platter featuring the best of both worlds: Indian cuisine and Pub culture.

What sets The Gatehouse apart is its unique approach to Indian cuisine. While staying true to the roots of traditional dishes, chef Xavier is not afraid to push boundaries and experiment with new flavours and techniques. The result? A dining experience that is both familiar and exciting, offering guests the best of both worlds.
