What Q6172VVandrewr doesn't like about The Trowel And Hammer:
We popped in here 5.30pm New Years Eve for a quick drink assuming that was well ahead of any ticketing restrictions that may have been planned for later. Barely throught the door and we 're greeted by the barman manager shouting 'ABOUT FACE ' ... View all feedback. What Roving47066320054 likes about The Trowel And Hammer:
Didn't spot a hammer or trowel upon arrival and the building looked complete with a historical and rustic feel. A smooth pool table at the global price of 50p per game, and willing locals ready to play after a pint of the famous local ale. Jukebox with music from all eras and my favourite pool winning song Eye of Tiger, with locals happy to play on repeat. Wonderful. View all feedback.

This could be a gem of a pub. Fantastic location looks great from the outside. The beer was ok but not great. The red wine was awful. The toilets are so tired b...

The newly revitalized Pakefield Trowel offers a mix of experiences, from a rude and unwelcoming atmosphere to warm and friendly service. Customers had mixed experiences with the food, with some finding it inedible while others enjoyed tasty meals at a great value. The pub's charming and historical feel, complete with a pool table and jukebox, drew in patrons looking for a cozy spot to relax with a pint. With new events like the Bikers BBQ and friendly staff, the Pakefield Trowel is back on the map as a local gem worth revisiting.
