A warm welcome awaits in the heart of Scotter

Our

Story

Nestled in the heart of the village of Scotter, The Gamekeeper is a true local pub and restaurant — a place where friends, families and visitors are always made to feel at home.

From its earliest days of construction to the busy, welcoming pub it is today, The Gamekeeper has been shaped by the people who run it and the community it serves. The pictures on these pages tell that story — from the first bricks laid to the teams and events that have brought the place to life.

Today you'll find the same friendly spirit in everything we do: freshly cooked pub food in our cosy restaurant, a rotating selection of ales behind the bar, and a calendar full of nights out — Redtooth Poker on Wednesdays, our interactive quiz on Fridays and live music every Saturday.
