About

The Bricklayer’s Arms was originally two cottages, built in 1722 from local flint and brick with a third dwelling added in the early eighteenth century. One of the cottages was a butcher shop with the other housing a blacksmith’s forge. A village shop was also added in the late eighteenth century.

In 1832 The Hon. George William Cavendish converted one of the cottages into a Benskins Ale House. It remained that way for more than 140 years when the other two cottages were purchased to extend the pub. The most recent expansion was a sympathetic conversion of the outbuilding and barn into the restaurant’s present configuration. In 2003, owners Sally and Alvin Michaels transformed the Bricklayers Arms into an award-winning and nationally recognised restaurant. With the reins now handed over to General Manager, Matt Jackson, and Head Chef, Miro Schelling, The Pub continues to thrive under the new Management of RedCat Pub Company.
