Big Smoke Acquires Leasehold of Hersham Pub

Press Release

Big Smoke Pubs has purchased the leasehold interest in the Bricklayer's Arms in Hersham.

Ranked among The Telegraph's Top 500 pubs in the UK for 2025, The Bricklayer's is a proper old-school boozer, complete with a pool table and traditional décor that captures the spirit of how pubs used to be.

Big Smoke, which has successfully operated the pub since spring 2025 under a tenancy agreement, has now secured the leasehold, strengthening its long-term commitment to the site and enabling further investment in the venue's future.

Vincent Healy, at Big Smoke, commented, "The Brick is ideally located for us linking up with our other local pubs in Thames Ditton, Molesey, Surbiton and Weybridge as well as being only a couple of miles from the Big Smoke brewery. We are delighted the local community in Hersham have taken to Big Smoke so positively, we look forward to growing the business further in the years ahead."

James Davies, Director and Head of National Agency at Fleurets, added: "Big Smoke operate the Flintgate in nearby Weybridge very successfully so I was delighted they agree with my view, the Bricklayers would work well for them - it was once my local so I know it very well!"
