About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
Welcome to the Butchers Arms.

Our 16th century Public House is situated on Lime Street in the parish of Eldersfield near Gloucester.

The Butchers Arms is first and foremost a rural pub, where the bar is the hub of life, with low ceilings, wooden floors, roaring fires and real ale served straight from the cask.

The food is British and we source only the finest ingredients from local suppliers. The menu constantly changes according to what is in season.

Please note that as it is a small pub and we are unable to cater for children under the age of 10.

    We had a fabulous meal and would recommend The Butchers Arms. The landlady was very attentive, very pleasant, very chatty and took time to talk to us.

    Fantastic dining experience as per usual. The ambience is great, the service impeccable and probably most important of all, the menu is creative and varied and the food beautifully cooked and presented. Definitely highly recommended.

    Another excellent meal. Delicious starter of warm smoked eel salad with beetroot and horseradish, and an equally good main course of roast cod with broccoli and creamed potatoes. Good NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Prompt and friendly service.

    Friendly and helpful staff, who made us feel very welcome. The choice and quality of food was fantastic. The evening was marred by a diner on the adjacent table who had a very loud phone ring tone, who did not answer his phone but let it ring, telling his fellow diner that he didn't want to speak to the person ringing. Not the restaurants fault, but as the phone rang frequently it disturbed our dinner with friends.
