Eldersfield

About the restaurant

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.

Another excellent meal on a punishingly hot day. Two of us had the monkfish, which came with a very well judged saffron sauce, mussels, creamed potatoes and broccoli (rather then asparagus as advertised). The other tucked in to the sirloin and braised beef shin, with French fries and broccoli. For dessert, we all enjoyed the baked Alaska with fruit compote and ice cream - just right for the weather. Service was very friendly, prompt and efficient.

We had a memorable lunch, service was excellent and choices of food and drinks could not be faulted.. Both started with the scallops in a fantastic sauce with a delicate hint of chilli…. followed by the hake perfectly cooked with my wife opting for the crawfish sandwich which was all completely devoured… One of the best lunches we have had in a long time.

Fantastic place, a real gem. Pies are fully pastry encased and veg is buttery perfection. Burgers were meaty and mighty. Fries with rosemary are delicious

Broadway

About the restaurant

The team of talented chefs at Buckland Manor work tirelessly to create mouth-watering menus that are English at their core and stay true to location, whilst remaining innovative and modern.

Menus feature fresh local produce from the neighbouring Vale of Evesham, affectionately known as the market garden of England. Fresh herbs are grown in the Manor’s own grounds and, as you would expect in a house of this heritage, there is a magnificent wine cellar.

Please note: the dress code for dinner and Sunday lunch is smart casual and we ask that gentlemen wear a jacket in the dining room.

Booked a table in advance as it was fathers day. We were greeted at the door and offered a choice of tables either inside or outside. Ordered a coffee first and then our attentive waitress timed it just right to take our food order. Food arrived in good time, very large portions of good quality food. My step dad had a lovely day. We visited last year too. Thank you
