The Butchers Arms

The Butchers Arms

A lovely old half-timbered pub in gorgeous countryside 8 miles southeast of Hereford and a few miles from Ledbury, Ross and Malvern. The M50, A449, A49 and A417 are all fairly close by.

Chef owner Stephen Bull took over the Butchers in 2009. ‘I offer excellent pub cooking at fantastic value using local suppliers and produce. So my menus include Goodrich Longhorn beef, Chepstow ducks, Kentchurch venison, fish from Cornish inshore boats, and fruit and veg from nearby farms and gardens.

‘The Butchers also has five cask beers plus farmhouse cider on hand pump. My wine list has 10 bottles by the glass and carafe, and some good bottles for splashing out. It’s a cosy place with open fires, very low beamed ceilings and a pretty garden with a stream.

‘A separate dining room seats 24. This is ideal for shooting parties, Christmas, small functions and business meetings.

The Butchers Arms has a Bib Gourmand in the 2013 Michelin Guide awarded for ‘good food at moderate prices’. In the Michelin Pub Guide 2013, the Butchers is an ‘Inspector’s Favourite’. We are highly rated in the latest Good Pub Guide 2013, and have 2 AA rosettes and many ‘excellent’ Tripadvisor postings.

'Perfect Pub Lunch'

From a recent blog: 'I've never seen such a charming place. Everyone felt welcome. Outside it was cold, grey and wet, and the minute we came into the dining room, fire going, walls about eight feet thick, it felt like sinking into a warm bath. It felt like everything an inn or a pub should be: a shelter from the storm, a place where the strangers come in from far away places. It takes real skill and professionalism to make it seem so effortless. It just kept getting better.' To read more go to http://streetstylelondon.
