Guests can enjoy delicious, seasonal food accompanied by a wide range of real ales and wines in the bars and restaurant.

The Brocket Arms was originally the monastic quarters for the Norman church until the Reformation. Legend has it that a priest was tried and hanged in the building and that it has been haunted ever since!
