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 all really enjoyed a lovely evening in a bustling atmosphere with brilliant food and wonderful service. We ended up being the last 6 to leave but they still made us feel comfortable and welcome - a great evening with friends - highly recommended 👍😆
