The Brocket Arms

No village is complete without its pub, and Ayot St Lawrence is no exception. The Brocket Arms dates back to the 14 century, when it was the monastic quarters to the (now ruined) Norman church, until the Reformation.  Legend has it that a priest was tried and hanged in the building and that it has been haunted by the affable character ever since; ghost-detection groups can be found here from time to time. 

The pub offers a great selection of local beers, as well as good quality accommodation, including one room with a dramatic four-poster bed. The restaurant serves a wide selection of food, including local game in season. There is a large garden with a great play area for children.

Location

SErvices in  2020

Sadly many services have been cancelled as a result of Covid-19 (as at 5 November 2020). This means we will not be at the Village War Memorial on Sunday 8th November, although a poppy wreath will be laid and a two minute silence observed. You are more than welcome to come along.
Our Christmas service this year will take place at 21.00 on 24 December. If you'd like to help us decorate the church with hanging angels, please contact us so we can book you in for a time slot along with your own family group or "bubble".
​Usually  our services will take place on the third Sunday of the month at 11.30. After any of these services, in normal times, why not book yourself in for lunch at the lovely Brocket Arms, originally the monastic quarters for the old, now ruined church a short stroll away 01438 820250. At present the pub is closed because of Covid restrictions.
