Former owners Gareth and Heather Lee transformed The Gate Llanfrechfa restaurant into a food hall in 2020.

In January 2023 The Gate Llanfrechfa informed customers their tenure had come to a sudden end and there had been a dispute the manager "wouldn't go into."

Around a week later The Gate Llanfrechfa announced that had opened as El Gordo’s Seafood and Grill on Ponthir Road, Caerleon.

The site was previously occupied by The Stuffed Dormouse formerly known as The Roman Lodge.
