What SAGooch doesn't like about The Brocket Arms:
...it was a little while coming. Ham egg and chips were delicious and the fish with the fish and chips was massive. It was a Thursday lunchtime maybe midweek staffing issues?. What therichastill likes about The Brocket Arms:
Located in the village of Ayot St Lawrence, The Brocket Arms is a charming village pub just a stone's throw away from Shaw's Corner, the former home of playwright George Bernard Shaw. The pub not only offers a wide selection of drinks and delicious food but also provides accommodation for those looking to stay a little longer. During my recent visit to the area, I popped into The Brocket Arms for a quick drink and a... View all feedback.

We stayed at this pub for a wedding and found it to be charming, with a traditional feel and staff who were exceptionally friendly and accommodating.

We were able to secure a room last minute late in the evening and the hostess kindly kept the bar open for us to enjoy a drink after a long day.

This is a lovely place to stay or just stop by for a drink. Our room was very comfortable with a nostalgic feel. The service was fantastic.

Nestled in a picturesque village, this once-beloved pub now presents a mixed bag of experiences. While some diners rave about the generous portions of tasty dishes, like the exceptional haddock and a delightful selection of small plates, others lament the decline in service quality and food availability. Midweek staffing challenges contribute to an unwelcoming atmosphere, leaving some patrons feeling ignored. Although the spacious pub offers cozy seating and enjoys a lovely location, inconsistent service and food quality overshadow its charm. Overall, it remains a local spot with potential, awaiting a revival to recapture its former glory.
