Thank you to each and every one of you for the support during this time. ✨ The Merch is now open until around 19:00 come down and have a pint with us. Please use the side door. ❤️

Greetings Merchanteers
Thank you all for making my last weekend as "The Landlord" at the Merch so memorable as well as emotional in the best possible way. A special thanks to Blind Justice Page who helped to create just the right atmosphere on Saturday night. A big thank you for all the fantastic cards and gifts especially the Photo diary and all who contributed to it, so thanks Helena.
A big thanks for all the support you have given me and my wonderful bar family, during the last 13 years.
Hopefully, someone will continue to pester our local councillor to get railing put up outside the Merch so no more vericles hit it.
I will miss you all, including the sometimes crazy dogs.

Mike
