A hidden gem and a must to experience. Do it!
I would like to thank Mark and Jo for their recent hospitality. I took my ten year old daughter after a recent separation from her mum and we were made to feel so welcome. We stayed in their cottage on site which was a home from home. The ambiance as soon as you walk in is second to none. You are greeted like old friends. The food was sensational. A must when in this part of the world, or even if you are not, book and stay and experience the best. Blown away and I have had the luxury of eating in some Michelin Star restaurants and let me tell you, this is up there! Thank you.

We went to cheer up a dark January and it was totally top notch. Delicious food, wine and drinks. Lovely friendly service and super surroundings. We will definitely go again.
Be the first to ReplyBeautiful, but let down by a small but important part
A really lovely looking pub in this beautiful village with the exterior lit up for Christmas. The restaurant was busy and the service was excellent. The food was lovely; some lovely inventive dishes with local ingredients, on a small but adequate list of menu options. Meat and fish were both excellent and beautifully cooked, apart from a very tough sirloin steak which was difficult to cut from the off (!) and then noticed it had a rather large tendon running through it. Unfortunate really, but having had to pay £32 for this means I won’t return. Everything else was really lovely. Many reviews on here seem to refer to this pub as having a Michelin star. It’s worth noting that this is not the case and that the pub appears in the Michelin Guide. Two very different things.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent cooking.
Returned for the first time in almost 10 years. Similar experience as before. Beautiful location, lovely old building, excellent food. Seriously very good. For us the night felt rushed a bit , no time between courses, uncomfortable due to the seating arrangement, down light in our face; and a special night for us came to an end as we decided to head home early. Food excellent. Meat cook perfectly pink and delicious accompanying veg. Very talented chef. Just, for us, the atmosphere/experience of the night again didn't amount to a romantic/cosy night.

Recently had lunch here for a birthday celebration. What a fantastic experience it was too. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The service was impeccable and food was divine. We will definitely be coming again.

If you are somebody that reads the other reviews look how old the nine "terrible" reviews are, they are certainly no longer relevant. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were friendly and efficient and the food was terrific. The 93.75% "excellent" and "very good" reviews should be noted, we will be going back.

We recently ate at this wonderful pub. Cannot recommend it highly enough. The food was sublime. They have a wonderful wine list. The staff are just excellent. Don't hesitate...just go and enjoy.

Dinner and an overnight stay in the cottage at The Butcher's Arms were the perfect prelude before a day at nearby Hartpury's International Horse Trials last weekend. The food was delicious and well on the way to achieving another Michelin Star. This is a 'proper' pub with seriously good restaurant food - in a delightful, old building that oozes character. The cottage is thoughtfully decorated and provided a very comfortable night's sleep - and only 1 minutes' walk from the restaurant!
Be the first to ReplySublime…highly recommend
Came for a spot of lunch with my Dad, we had the most amazing food that was beautifully presented. Service was slick and speedy with friendly staff. Highly recommend having a starter, main and pudding….and the English wine is delicious.
Be the first to ReplyNice rural pub with great food
We had a really nice lunch here. The venue is very rustic but nicely done and comfortable. The log wood burner gave ambience and service was good And welcoming. The menu was tasty with good options all well presented and very tasty. The crème brûlée was a highlight but all were good. Nice beer and some reasonable wines. We will certainly return
Be the first to ReplyA rural gem
We have just returned from 2 nights staying at this delightful pub in the Malvern/Cotswold borders. Such a warm welcome awaited us and our little, one bedroom cottage was snug, well appointed with a very comfy bed. Bread, milk, tea, fresh coffee, pain au chocolate and cereal were stashed in the cupboards and fridge plus other extras such as butter, juice and jams. We had dinner both nights in the pub itself and the food was totally delicious all served by friendly staff who were knowledgeable about the local area which was handy. We will just have to return as only scratched the surface of all the places to visit, thank you Butchers Arms, we’ll be back😀

Came with a large group of 16 ladies from our dining club & preordered our meal. Starters were perfection on a plate followed by even more perfection and superbly cooked mains and deserts. Couldn’t fault any of our meals. Excellent service. Stunning pub outside & in. Well done 10/10

Lovely birthday lunch. Amazing food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Well worth the journey on the frosty roads
Be the first to ReplyLovely
This was our second time at the Butchers arms, we went for late lunch Xmas eve and the atmosphere was lovely. The staff had remembered we had two fish eaters in the group and had ensured there were two choices of starters. Staff are chatty and attentive and work hard to make the meal special. My cod was lovely, my husband had the steak and enjoyed it but felt the choice of serving it with sprouts and gravy a bit odd. Considering the amazing presentation last time of the venison ( carved) we were surprised that it was just served as a whole steak, it just didn’t feel as special but none the less tasted good. Lovely puddings, great moonshine, only slightly marred by an extremely drunk lady bizarrely joining our table with her dog just as we were trying to leave, the lady at the bar was aware though and did ask if we wanted her to be asked to leave, I thought she handled it very well. We will definitely be going again
Be the first to ReplyA lovely way to celebrate a birthday
We had a lovely celebration here and can’t recommend it enough! The guinea fowl and venison were particularly good, though I would say everything we tried was delicious. The staff were lovely, even though they were clearly busy, and we felt very welcome.
Be the first to ReplyGreat small place that is must to visit if you are around
Was visiting a college nearby with our daughter and decided to have lunch before heading back around there so was reasonably random choice by what was nearby. The place is very small and looks very traditional inside for country pub. The menu is also not large at all which looks rather good than bad. The quality, complexity and presentation of food is of quality you get in a very high end restaurant. I specifically like to mention the venison steak tartar - that was really amazing. My daughter had short ribs of beef that were full of flavors and not a typical main you can get in a restaurant. The wine list is of good quality and reasonably priced. I always take a selection of cheeses if available and the freshness was of very high standard there. If we are to be around again we would definitely return.
Be the first to ReplySuperb food in a stunning place
Spent an amazing few hours at the pub yesterday to celebrate my husbands birthday, and it didn’t disappoint. This was our first visit and it won’t be the last as we are already planning a return. The pub is small and beautifully decorated with a timeless country feel, the log burner was on and very welcoming. The service was excellent without being fussy and the food simply stunning. I have nothing negative to say, thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
Be the first to ReplyVegetarian friendly? Are you having a giraffe?
Came here today for my brothers birthday lunch. Someone sniffed a Michelin star chef or something....anyway the pub is super quaint. I mean there's a car park with gravel so you don't get your Gabor boots muddy &;the toilets are outside so maybe chilly in winter? But otherwise this place is to die for. I wish I could wrap it up & drop it the other side of the Malvern Hills in Cradley! When you walk in its full of locals quaffing ales at the bar, hops decorating the beams & a log fire...You also get Gille...the French erm whatever he was....super ironic, v funny 'I can make you that' who totally enhanced our lunch. I did try to wind him up with 'I'm vegan' but he batted me out of the park. I mean this isn't the place if yob are. I have a vegan daughter & we wisely left her at home working on her dissertation.. anyway....service was on point. (As you would expect I wise French hands) Nothing was too much trouble. My sister in law & I fancied moyitos....The menu was small but fantastic. We ate Bambi & monk fish. The mackerel was still breathing. I'd say the chef likes it fresh. The wine was 10/10. My only warning would be if you have a vegan/veggie in your party give the chef advance warning or leave them at home with your dogs!
Be the first to ReplyLovely little venue.
Lovely venue, the menu was limited my wife likes vegetarian food when choice is limited, sadly none on menu, but after asking if available as an option one was offered! We guys only fancied the steak, ordered rare and medium rare sadly left on grill too long and wasn’t easy to cut even with the steak knife! very limited on vegetables just a roasted carrot a small amount of purée and the steak topped with water cress, only a red wine jus lacking flavour and large bowl of frozen chips when paying £31 a nice Stilton or pepper sauce would have been nice and hand cut chips. The cheese board was surprisingly limited just a small selection of nice cheeses just 2 oatcakes accompanied the cheese most places give way too much cheese just enough was given, we believe that some crackers were needed and butter as my friend struggled as everything was just too dry with just the oatcakes Considering the limited menu we believe more could be offered for the price charged . We had been recommended by friends as their new place to go, but we were disappointed as our meal for 4 came to over £150 with just 1 ale and water drinks. Sorry for the neutral feedback I did see one other feedback from last December with the same concerns with the steak.

Top- quality service, with amazingly crafted food !
Really do recommend taking the effort to come out and try this place.
A lunch to relish
I have been here before but it was well before the Covid crisis and it is now under new ownership. It had a Michelin Star before so I was glad to see that it is still here. So I thought I would provide an update. I went here for lunch last week with my wife. We had to book in advance, so nothing has changed there then.
It's still hard to find unless you know where you're going. But anyway, we were shown to our table by w lady wearing a face mask, which she kept on throughout all the time we were there. We sat by the side of the bar in the small alcove by the kitchen.
The menu has remained small with about 4 starters and mains and a couple more desserts. I can't remember what we had for starters but my wife had a lovely Hereford Steak and I opted for the Halibut Steak. She said the steak was perfect and wonderfully pink in the centre. We also decided to treat ourselves to desserts on offer and had a thick Chocolate Mouse with biscuit, which was absolutely delicious. I also had a couple of pints of local ale and my wife stuck to her usual soft drinks.
If I had one problem it was this. My plate for my main meal was not piping hot, which I would have preferred. That meant that the Halibut turned to being warm a little sooner than I anticipated. However, I am not going to offer severe criticism over that little trifle. The lunch was expensive, but when you need a little treat at times you have to push the boat out. We paid just under 100 sheets for the lot. Just glad we didn't have the young one with us as she loves her steaks and chocolate too.
In summary, another fabulous meal and another triumph for the Butchers Arms. As the Terminator once said "I'll be back"
Fabulous meal in quintessential setting
My best friend and I visited The Butchers Arms mid-week in December. The twinkly Christmas lights outside were a festive welcome and it looked like a scene from the film "The Holiday". Inside was warm and cosy with log fires roaring. There are two seating areas with the bar in the middle and we sat in a room with three tables and a wood burner. The menu choice was small but we still had difficulty choosing what to eat. I had venison for a main and extremely posh and yummy trifle for dessert. We had a lovely sparkling and red wine. Staff were lovely and the service was good. In my opinion, this is a special occasion restaurant but wear your cosy cashmere and suede boots for this quintessential setting. I will visit again with my husband. Thank you the Butchers Arms.
Be the first to ReplyGreat lunch
Spoke with Jo reserving a table for 12 and requested a specific meal. On every occasion we spoke, Jo was friendly and positive to my requests. Some of our party were elderly or suffering from health issues and had concerns regarding COVID. Jo was ahead of the game and had already been taking extra precautions for several weeks, reacting to the data rather than waiting for government direction. Lots of thoughtful actions such as suggesting using another door if our guests had concerns about walking through the restaurant.
Both the meal itself and service were very good. Nothing was too much trouble. Nice wine list. Lots of positive comments from our diners.
We will be back very soon, Thank you.
First time but not the last!
We arrived on a cold day just as heavy rain started, so a quick dash from the car park. We opened the door into a warm and welcoming pub plus a happy smile from behind the bar, the scene was set for what was clearly going to be a great lunch. We were with friends who had been several times before. We travelled from Chipping Campden (50 mins) and it was well worth the journey. Service was friendly, professional and attentive. Food was exceptional. There’s a good selection of interesting starters, mains and puds/cheese. We had different starters then we all selected the venison, which was outstanding. I’m struggling to think how we could have a had a better experience, thank you to all. It’s not been an easy time for the hospitality sector and this small team clearly have a passion to deliver the best experience for the customers, both old and new.

We had a table for 6 for dinner. The staff and the maitre de, Jo, were delightful. As soon as we arrived we could not have had a warmer welcome. The menu was so good, we could not decide what to choose, as they were so many appealing dishes. Finally, all our number could not believe how good the food was , well worth the long journey to the venue. I could not rate this whole eating experience high enough. I live in London and am use to fine dining. Well done to one and all.
