Butchers Arms in Eden

Excellent family meal. Lovely staff and even better food. 10/10

Great place..... Highly recommended.....

The food is amazing, nice and supportive staff

As we were staying nearby we decided to book dinner at this love community pub. We had Calamari to start with and beautifully cooked braised brisket of beef for mains. Both were excellent...beautifully cooked and very tasty. Staff were very friendly in this busy community pub. We'll worth a visit!

Cool cosy pub with a free pool table and great beer selection. 100 % recommend. Can't rate the food cos I didn't eat here.

Great pub, off the beat and track. Hidden gem. Another tasty Sunday lunch.

Great meal with excellent lamb and wonderful desserts. Good value with friendly staff. Will be back very soon Thank you

Excellent meal. Attentive staff.

Our second visit to this lovely gastro pub. We were greeted by a lovely young lady who showed us our table and provided us with drinks and food menus. The atmosphere was relaxed and very friendly, every member of the staff team was so incredibly nice, friendly and professional. The menu is quite extensive with an enticing choice of dishes. I chose the 8 hour braised brisket and I have to say, it was just the best dish I've ever had: perfectly seasoned and full of incredible flavour. My partner had the confidence duck salad which he said was amazing. For dessert...the strawberry roulade was fantastic; so light and fresh. I just can't recommend The Butchers Arms highly enough. Thanks to everyone for everything. Pauline & Graham

Fabulous Sunday lunch, generous portions cooked to perfection. Interestingly they serve their full menu on a Sunday not just the traditional Sunday lunch which is good. We came as it was voted the best Sunday lunch in the Lakes on Trip Advisor. I thoroughly agree, well worth a visit.

This was our first visit to The Butchers Arms and our new favourite pub (if only we didn't live 200 miles away). The welcome was extremely friendly, the atmosphere cosy and the food delicious, good value and generous.

Great locally owned pub with a cosy atmosphere and dog friendly. Gluten free options were available which was appreciated. The staff were great and we enjoyed our couple of visits for food and drinks.

Great, classic pub food and some tasty specials at very reasonable prices. Definitely recommend coming here if you are in the area or passing through Shap.

Great customer service and a great pint of Madri. Played pool and darts and it was good.

This place was so lovely. Excellent service the entire time, very attentive and dealt with difficult intolerances with ease and professionalism. There was plenty space and everything felt clean. Felt more comfortable than I have in any restaurant before. As near to the perfect experience as possible.

Went for the roast and it didn’t disappoint with the other dishes also being good. Worth a visit.

Extremely delicious home cooked food (and I do mean home cooked… some places claim home cooked but aren’t). Pork ribs to start that were so tender I ate with a knife and fork. Lamb shank for main course that was cooked to perfection and my husband and daughter had “the best burgers” they had ever had… one being a vegetarian burger as well. Staff are so friendly and a general atmosphere of cheeriness all round. Location absolutely beautiful would highly recommend.

Fantastic food, I had a lovely sea bass from the specials board. It was a beautifully designed meal and cooked to perfection. The team there are so friendly and welcoming. I only wish I had found it on the first night of my trip so I could try more from the menu!

Delicious food, friendly service. We hope to go again during our stay here.

Outstanding meal, great pub What a great menu, all our dishes were very tasty, and the highlight for the girls was the sharing dessert with a do it yourself 'smores kit , with some fruit for the healthy bit. Must go there again.

A great little pub/restaurant tucked away in stunning countryside. The menu had many great choices and the food was delicious and plentiful. Our compliments to the chef. We both had starters and mains so unfortunately no room for dessert. A good selection of drinks and, of course, Loweswater Gold on the pump. We would advise booking as this haven gets busy and you don't want to be disappointed. We have to say a special thank you to Jo who was simply wonderful tonight. She took care of us from the start, nothing was too much trouble and she did all this with a warm and welcoming smile. A true credit to the pub.

You cannot fault this restaurant, the service is outstanding, the staff are lovely, the surroundings perfect and the quality of the food is amazing. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Excellent food and excellent service. Came this evening with family and all meals were amazing and homemade with great quality ingredients. Extremely accommodating and friendly service. We can’t wait to come back already!

Great pub next to a great campsite. Only drinking but the food that was coming out looked fantastic, lovely staff and good selection of beer.

Friendly pub and land lord excellent food and service highly recommended worth a visit

a winding dreamlike drive, a tang of townish perturbation.. so swiftly put to rest by the strong embrace of the butchers arms. oh to feel that safe and sound again ! smiles naturally congenial.. dishes warmly presented… the flavours satisfy. here i am, in delight in the back of the car.

Gammon steak 2 eggs proper chips peas .very good although for the price a few mushrooms and fried tomato would be nice .my wife had lamb and black pud hot pot which was delicious and had proper pieces of tender lamb inside .and lovely fresh veg .grandaughter had the chicken strips only 2 strips bit stingy for 8 quid .got to say the chestnut bitter was spot on . Th3e service and staff were spot on and friendly .a hidden gem of a pub .well wort the trip its in one of the most beautiful parts of cumbria for me lovely walks and so peaceful too we will be back .keep up the good work especially the real ales

Great concept restaurant. All that what you want: awesome food and wine. One should make a reservation, During the week, too. Parking is there but limited, about 10 cars.

Amazing food, exceptional service, laid back atmosphere. Well worth a visit!

Great food..tasty and not overpriced and it could be its that good. Excellent service..loved it..thank you for a lovely meal and experience. Very good GF selection.

We have been to this pub on a number of occasions when visiting the area and we always come back. The food is excellent, full of flavour and very well presented with very good portion sizes and we have never had any problems with the food. They serve food for various allergy and very accomadating for our large party, they serve a wide selection of drinks and the desserts are out if this world and would highly recommend them we shall be returning on our next adventure this way and can't wait. Would highly recommend this hidden gem.

Great food in a beautiful location. Rustic interior. Staff were lovely and the menu was varied really well presented

Having booked a meal for our 8 anniversary we were really looking forward to it,on arrival we were seated & drinks order taken I've a dairy intolerance & was told my best bet was the roast as they use alot of butter I requested the meet well done on arrival the meet was still mooing,veg was hard & I was told it would be peas & broccoli(not a single one on the plate) & what veg was was heavily seasoned with herbs hence I couldn't eat my meal. My partner said he had better frozen. The lady who served us admitted it was probably her fault that my meal wasn't as I had requested. We were charged full price & to be honest won't be back.

Having been invited down from Scotland by a friend for a game of golf at Appleby, the four of us booked in for an evening meal. I’d already been told about the quality of the food and was certainly not disappointed. It was quite simply some of the best I’ve had in a very long time. John and his staff were so welcoming which just enhanced the overall experience. With a great selection of beers on offer and a brilliant section with a pool table and darts board, it just completed what was a fantastic evening. If you’re ever in the area, make sure you stop in here. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did.

Mmmmm, delicious dinner in stylish, friendly pub. Great atmosphere and enjoyable game of pool after in lovely games room. Highly recommended.

Without a doubt - 3 dinners on April 18, 19 and 21 - were over and beyond delicious - presentation was eye watering - service courteous, friendly, amusing but at the same time discreet - the locals were also friendly and funny making us feel very very welcome. We couldn’t recommend better. Kudos to the entire Butchers Arms team! Ralf - Germany & Paula Ireland Ohne Zwefel waren die 3 Abendessen am 18, 19 und 21 April 2024 April mehr als koestlich - die Praesentation war atemberaubend - der Service hoeflich, amuesant und gleichzeitig didktet - die Einheimischen waren ebenfalls super freundlich und lustig und wir fuehlten uns seer willkommen. Wir koennten die Butchers Arms nur beaten empfehlen. Ein grosses Lob an das gesamte Team Ralf Deutschland - Paula Ireland

Fabulous, delicious food, superb service, couldn’t recommend it highly enough. We live quite locally and never been before. This is definitely going to change. Lucky to have this place only 15 mins away.

My partner and I had heard good things, and as advised we booked a table (it’s a popular place so best to book in advance). I was expecting to have a bland option or the usual bean chilli that most places have on offer for vegan/vegetarian customers. I was pleasantly surprised to see a plant burger on the menu. I have to say that it was one of the best burgers I’ve had and I would highly recommend. However, there was no vegan mayonnaise. My partner enjoyed his gammon meal although he said it was just average (I guess that’s a pretty standard meal everywhere though). Overall the place was lovely, the food was great, and the staff were friendly and efficient. I will definitely return in the near future.

Excellent food,staff and atmosphere. First visit but will definitely return.

Their food is amazing ! Friendly staff , we've had such great time ! Highly recommend 👍

Staying in Maulds Meaburn over Easter weekend we prebooked 10 adults for dinner Saturday evening. Arrived early so sat in "games area" to peruse the extensive menu over drinks. Once seated food orders taken swiftly and food came within 20 minutes, ALL cooked to perfection. Chicken schnitzel, Three Little piggies, burger, sausage and mash and gluten free fish & chips thoroughly enjoyed by us all, generous portions and piping hot. We couldn't all manage pudding but 2 shared crumble which came with custard in pyrex jug....made us laugh. Reasonablly priced food, excellent service would visit again if in the area.

We visited the Butchers Arms as a family party of 6 on Mother’s Day weekend. We were amazed at the choice on the menu and all tried something different, everything was cooked to perfection and despite all tables being full, the servers were attentive and service was well paced! We will be returning to try more dishes as everything was so delicious.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch today. Pate and pulled pork croquettes to start, roast beef and 3 little pigs medley then apple and rhubarb crumble. Everything was delicious and very generous portions also good value for money. The staff were very welcoming and it was cosy with the log burners on. We did laugh when the crumble came out with the Pyrex jug of custard, a yummy homely touch. We will definitely return to try some of the other dishes on offer.

1st time at this pub 21st march 2024 had steak ale and mushroom suet pudding absolutely a must and my sister Alison had braised brisket which just melted in your mouth the meals where so good booked again .... we had our eyes on chicken breast with a ham hock croquettes and the 3 little 🐖 🐷 🐽 piggies

Visited the Butchers Arms on a number of occasions and never fails to impress. Although the pub is dog friendly we always lot to sit outside which we did. The staff were welcoming and the service first class as usual. We opted for the veggie brunch which was superb. Incredible value for money. Would recommend to anyone visiting this beautiful part of the country.

Huge portions, very professional and kind staff

Off the beaten track for a lunchtime visit on Friday, both log burners we're blazing on a cold winter day. The fish and chips were simply the best I've ever had, anywhere!

Lovely little country pub. Sunday Lunch was fantastic, great portions without being excessively huge and well priced. Friendly vibe for 'outsiders', no one eyeing you up when you come in the door and some great local walks too. Very highly recommended.

Nice welcoming community pub in pretty village location

Amazing local community pub. I'll be back for my seventieth.

Having heard great things about this place, we decided to give it a try. We had the braised beef and the chicken schnitzel. Both absolutely delicious. We shared a sticky toffee pudding with cream and ice cream. I would say the prices are about 25% higher than many places in the area, but the food is 75% better. We’ll definitely be back, no doubt with our friends in tow. Well done the Butchers Arms.

Went in for dinner recently. Had the Vegetarian mozzarella burger and the beef brisket. Both absolutely cooked to perfection and on one.of.the best vegetarian burgers I have ever had. Portion sizes were fantastic too. The chocolate fudge cake dessert was lovely and moist too. Staff attentive and polite, the atmosphere was lovely. Would definitely recommend.

The new menu has arrived! So excited!! My fish pie was soooo good. Gareth had the Three Little Piggies (pork belly, pork cheek and pulled pork) and Gareth's mum had the lamb hotpot. 😋 All perfectly cooked and demolished!!! Gorgeous attentive service. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Jon and Bev. Sublime cookery!

What a great venue! Stopped in this evening after a long hard day's work for some real food! And the food was top notch, great chef and menu. Definitely worth visiting this village and popping in to the butchers arms! Great job with this place, what a gem.

Had a Meal and beers here recently, good pub, good food and service.

Fabulous meal with family & very reasonable price too! Bit of a hiccup with my desert coming out late but my was it worth waiting for!!!

Genuinely perfect pub! Liv was our server and she was really attentive and great! Food portions were huge, great drinks and great quality food

We visited on a Saturday lunch time when the offering is 'brunch' and very tasty it was too. Two of us had the wild mushrooms and one the salmon and scrambled egg. The large and small full breakfast looked good too. Perhaps there could have been more salmon? Simple but delightful decor, lovely ambience, very friendly and good device. Highly recommended!

When the weather has been as inclement as it has been recently, and you're in a far flung corner of the county. It's good to know there are these havens of warmth, friendliness and proper grub dotted around. There's nothing better than coming back from a walk as the light fades on a wet day, than seeing a log fire burning through a condensated window and the promising smell of a fine feast. And once you enter the threshold you are not disappointed. Fine ales abound and a merry atmosphere envelopes you. Bringing back memories of being a young child in your mother's arms. Table sizes to suit the group you're in . And a simple menu with something for everyone. All cooked to perfection. We shall be back

Yet another superb trip to the Butchers Arms where community spirit and effort has made this place a great destination eatery! This time we tried the Cous cous and a most delicious Vegan burger. Generous portions as always! Lovely friendly local staff who give the warmest of welcomes , although log burning 🔥 fires add to that warmth in winter. Take time out to visit , eat and maybe a cheeky beer on the side😀!

The menu here is really very good.Different dishes and some usual favourites.The twice baked cauliflower soufflé (£8.50) was scrummy.The chicken, ham hock and leek pie was delicious. The mains are about£17;,:the staff are very friendly and welcoming. My friends had the Turkey Christmas dinner and said it was the best they had ever had.The parsnips were coated in a fine crumb that made them very crispy and lovely.We were too full for a dessert so had a coffee instead .The menu choice and decor is lovely. I would return here.Checkmthenwebsitenfor opening days and times as they don’t open every day.This is a community run pub that offers food of a high standard in very tasteful surroundings.

Just been for Sunday lunch, excellent one of best ever had, thank you, if in area again will be first place we come.

Fabulous pub. Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Lots of local produce used. Great to see a community pub run so well.

Tasty food, lovely and warm with log burners, clean and nice atmosphere, friendly locals.

An absolute gem, one of the best in the county and beyond

Wonderful food and lovely, friendly environment! Plenty of choice on menu and the restaurant is dog friendly in the pub part.

Lovely dog friendly pub in a gorgeous village

Friendly welcoming venue with excellent food of above standards for pubs and excellent value for money

Excellent food with quality ingredients. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Our second visit and very glad we’ve been back!

Back again and why not! What’s not to like! Great people, great food, swift service and a lovely village atmosphere to boot. Hate to make this place too popular but it deserves a mention.

Delicious food and generous portions in comfortable surroundings. The halloumi chips were particularly good. Leave space for a pudding. We were late eating because of an accident but it wasn’t a problem. We will definitely be back, ideally to try the full menu.

Great spot...great service...saved us from a day in the rain!

Well done guys, excellent food and service. Keep it up! Malta

First time there, all food was excellent, Hannah’s service was more than excellent!! You will definitely see us again soon

Lovely pub! Good quality food and a nice place to hang about.

Met here for a small renion on the recommendation of a one member who lives locally. Extremely well run community pub with excellent service and very good food. Very jealous of the locals with this place on the doorstep.

A pub with local and contemporary character - in a beautiful village with a caring community. Traditional Sunday lunch could not have been better (half portion photographed - full had double meat and delicious roast potatoes) - congrats to the team!

Good hearty food, great value, not rushed.

Great atmosphere in a fine community pub.

Very fresh good stuff I will go back every day if I could

A perfect evening! Best meal I've eaten this year! Best unobtrusive service for a long time! Best atmosphere. Great menu and prices. Cannot say more.

Amazing staff, the ladies that served us we're amazing, best cocktails and food for miles!!! Honestly can't wait to come back.
