What Anonym dislikes about The Gavel Pub:
I'm just having a lovely pint of real ale in The Gavel and very sad to learn it is closing down on Jan 1st. I have been drinking here for the past 12 years and the food and beers have always been good with a great selection if real ales. It has been much quieter since it was taken over as many of the former regular customers left and I'm not sure why. Best wishes to Mel and all the staff for the future and thank you...

I also enjoyed the drinks, as I ended up having several. The staff could be a bit friendlier, but overall, I would definitely consider going back.
