Neighbourhood 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 have been many times before but this time my starter of fried cheese was a single wedge the same size as a camembert wedge which . in comparison to my parthers 3 reasonable size pieces of goujon, I thought was pretty stingy. Overall the qaulity of cooking was not on a par to other occasions.

The Butchers Arms is a real gem. Lovely friendly welcome and atmosphere. A real village pub with log fires. A delightful, attractive and comfortable setting. There was attentive service throughout the meal. Wonderful food which was beautifully presented, tasty and plentiful. It deserves, at least, its Michelin Plate award. A place to return to.

An excellent meal. Inventive starter - smoked eel with horseradish and beetroot, followed by a very generous and perfectly cooked piece of cod in a saffron sauce with mussels, and panna cotta to finish. The Finger Post Sauvignon Blanc was one of the best we’ve tasted. Friendly and efficient service and a really good atmosphere.
