SHEPHERD NEAME UNVEILS A £330,000 REFURBISHMENT OF THE BRICKLAYERS ARMS IN BROMLEY

Posted: 23rd September 2024

Independent family brewer Shepherd Neame has reopened its traditional Bromley town centre pub, The Bricklayers Arms, following a stunning £330,000 refurbishment.

The pub, affectionately known as ‘The Bricks’ by locals, closed last month for the renovation, which has kept the historic building’s original features and character while introducing a stylish and complementary contemporary feel.

It has been redecorated throughout using rich greens and cream, incorporating wood panelling, with pockets of snug seating creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

There is a new, welcoming bar which greets customers as they step in through the freshly-painted door to the spacious pub with a split-level layout, which has a second bar on the higher level. Both are well stocked with beers, wines, and spirits, while new furniture and lighting has also been added. 

A new bespoke swing sign stands proudly outside, while the spacious courtyard garden has been transformed with new bench furniture for an informal feel and colourful planters.  There is also a new innovative interactive darts where customers can pre-book online and enjoy games using the latest in social entertainment technology.
 
There is a special nod to the pub’s history, which dates back to 1851, as original brick tiling unearthed during the renovation has been restored and made a feature of on the exterior.

The pub has its foundations in friendly service and fine fare and in keeping with this a delicious new menu is also being introduced, offering a diverse selection of traditional pub classics with a twist, using locally sourced ingredients.

Customers will continue to be able to enjoy a wide range of Shepherd Neame’s award-winning range of ales and lagers, along with an extensive list of premium wines and spirits.

Shepherd Neame Managing Director, Pubs, Jonathon Swaine said: “At Shepherd Neame we place a high value on just how popular The Bricks is with its regulars and the people of Bromley, and we wanted to make sure it was a pub for them to be proud of.

“We believe we have created a warm and welcoming feel and improved The Bricklayers Arms in a sympathetic way to ensure it continues to be enjoyed by locals and visitors for many years to come.”

The Bricklayers Arms reopened on Friday, September 21.
