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.

Excellent service, excellent food…. Only thing I would say is the lady singing was very good - great voice but it was so loud we were unable to hold a conversation so left earlier than we’d hoped so that we could talk to each other!

End to end a perfect Anniversary experience. Whilst preserving the ambiance of a past era in the building itself the food and service is all you would wish for in a top gastro pub. Staff are welcoming and attentive even when faced with our large friendly pooch. The food was excellent, particularly the seasonal dinner with exceptionally tasty and moist turkey in abundant thick slices with all the trimmings. Will be coming back soon.

Great good as always - street food style small dishes which we ordered a range of for a mini buffet style. Our son had burger off the main menu which was really tasty. All fresh and delicious! Service was great too. Love it at Ascotts :)
