I'd buy a gate.

I'd only shut and lock the gate once I'd got a few trespassers (because that's what they are) in.

And then Conor, you will probably be taken to court for holding somebody against their will.
Having scanned several of the posts on this subject (and created my own), you seem to be th eonly person who thinks such a case will go to court. Do you have any experience of such a thing or are you simply guessing?

Have a word with the pub also, if i was the landlord i would be horrified if my customers were getting these tickets and some paying them

Thanks very much for your advice!

Erm, I'm a bit nervous that they might chase me through the courts if I don't pay it so do you think I should write to them and explain the legal side of this and that I don't intend to pay? Will I get any closure from this if they decide I'm right?

They already know the legal side of this, that's why they rely on intimidating threats rather than actually going to court, where they would almost certainly lose.

Don't write to them, you'll just be giving a bunch of shaved chimps in a portakabin a reason to have a good laugh.
