"My husband and I visited this pub recently. I booked online but as it was a lovely evening we decided to early to enjoy a drink in the beer garden. We went to the bar and I explained we had a booking but came early to enjoy the nice weather. Unfortunately our booking hadn’t been received due to a glitch in the online booking system but it wasn’t a problem. The young lad running the bar gave us our drinks and we went out in the beer garden. Nice atmosphere, full of locals and great views. We then went back inside and went to our table. I commented that there was a lack of staff compared to my last visit with the young lad running the bar, clearing tables, fixing the computer system as it had gone down and taking food orders. A real one man band. We made a comment to him about no staff and he was very polite and didn’t “dump” his problems on us, instead he was complimented us on our patience etc. our starters arrived all very good. Our mains arrived and were equally good. Other customers didn’t seem to have the same experience as us due food items not available etc. The chef was the breakfast chef and not the regular restaurant chef and full of apologies to the disappointed customers. We were too full for dessert so went to pay the bill and it was suggested we get takeaway desserts which we had did. This pub is a great place with friendly helpful staff who work hard so whatever problems they are going through at the moment I hope they resolved soon as would be a shame if bad reviews started coming in and ruin their reputation."

Food was a solid pub fare offering and a narrow but good choice of ales, but the stand out was Gail who makes the atmosphere; stellar!!

On September 30th, my family and I went to this restaurant for a meal. There were 12 of us and we all had a wonderful time. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. We will definitely visit again and recommend it to our family and friends.

Lovely spot with amazing views from the terrace, food was very good, service was great and it’s obviously been updated recently, very nicely done. Only possible downside was that our eleven year old thought there wasn’t enough garlic bread. Overall excellent!

The staff, pub, and food at this restaurant were all incredible. The service was outstanding, even with a large booking, and there were no faults to be found. Everyone left very happy and we will definitely be returning soon. Thank you to the staff for a wonderful experience.

Hidden goldmine. This place has a gem of a menu that has delivered excellence. Morgan as front of house shines, a friendly greeting on this miserable day, 29/08/23. The wife I ordered the 10 oz ribeye. For the 1st time in 18 months, our steaks were PERFECT!! The fries, onion rings and sauces Anne (chef) thank you. This was such a great meal. Found by accident, hoping it isn't the last time we come here.

Popped in with my husband for lunch, I’ve not been to the Butchers Arms since I was a child, it holds lots of memories of family gatherings. It’s more modern today but still retaining that sense of welcome. My husband ordered the lasagne and I had the curry, both were absolutely delicious. Portion size is perfect, and a great range of drinks both alcoholic and soft, Prices are so good for what you get, food didn’t take long to arrive at the table and was piping hot. I plan to visit again for food, compliments to the chef.

We were recommended to visit this pub by the staff at the place where we were staying nearby, and we were very happy that we did. We arrived during halftime of a rugby game so that my husband could finish watching, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that they were offering free chicken curry and chips! The food was delicious, and I also had the cheesecake which I would highly recommend. The atmosphere was great, and the interior of the pub was tastefully decorated with clean and lovely bathrooms. The staff were all friendly and attentive, including the younger members of the team who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The locals were also fantastic. I appreciated that my dr...

The worst meal I’ve had in a long time if not ever. We arrived at 7:30 and were seated and our orders taken. Starters took around an hour to come and as they were coming out I was told they didn’t have mine available. Mains then took around another 20 minutes and only 3 of the 5 meals came out. The remaining 2 meals came out once the 3 had finished. The sides followed the remaining 2 meals at which point everyone had had enough and wanted to leave. 4 of the 5 meals were fillet steaks and only 2 of those came with mushrooms as advertised. My partners fillet was so thin it could have been a burger. The starters also didn’t come as advertised. The chicken wings were supposed to come with colesl...
