The Bricklayers Arms has recently undergone a respectful and thoughtful development, designed to enhance the pub’s charm while preserving its historical character. Our project aimed to subtly improve the space, ensuring it remains a comfortable and beloved social hub for the community.

One of the key updates includes the expansion of the bar area offering a vibrant environment, Perfect for live music entertainment and it boasts a seamless access to a newly introduced covered courtyard through bifold doors supplied by our local supplier Venables, creating the perfect indoor outdoor space. The addition of bi-fold doors connects the indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a harmonious setting where patrons can enjoy their pints in this new and exciting area of the Bricklayers Taphouse. This cleverly designed addition allows the pub’s space to extend into the outdoor area, perfect for a sunny afternoon with a pint of Joule’s, and lets the pub’s welcoming glow to extend into the outdoor seating area, enhancing the overall experience.

In keeping with the traditional spirit of The Bricklayers, we’ve added classic bar games like darts and shuffleboard, providing a fun and engaging environment for all. The rest of the pub has seen gentle updates, including improvements to the bar area, which now features an even wider selection of Joule’s beers. The kitchen has also been extended to support a more robust food offering in the near future, ensuring that our well-loved Sunday Lunches continue to delight.

Our aim throughout this project was to respectfully recharge The Bricklayers Arms, maintaining its cosy, inviting atmosphere while adding thoughtful enhancements that will be appreciated by our patrons.
