Butchers Arms - Bishop's Itchington in Stratford-on-Avon

Nice local pub good selection of drinks with large beer garden and kids play area and pet friendly

Dropped by for the first time on the way back from holiday as we really fancied a pie and chips. Went for the steak and ale pie and the turkey and leek special pie. Also added a kids fish fingers and chips on for £1 which was actually proper batters fish goujons cooked fresh rather than frozen stuff. Food was amazing and they had a good selection of beers on tap too. Will come back again and try the Sunday roast.

Lovely little local gem, with friendly staff, delicious food, and drinks served with a smile. They made Liane and Jason's pre-wedding drinks extra special. Thanks to the team at the Butchers Arms from all of us!

Excellent food as always Highly reccomend

Good old village pub. Got to keep them going so we keep going! They have 2 of my favourite beers on tap; Tribute and Landlord, Did not try the food but sure it must also be excellent. I can't wait to go again, Thank you

Dog friendly and human friendly. A real pleasant place to eat and drink

The pub was very grubby and the fish was very bland didn’t have any flavour at all. Portions sizes were not very large. The service was quite slow, about 30-40 minutes for very mediocre quality food. It wasn’t that cheap either cost the two of us £40 and only I had a dessert, didn’t have any alcoholic drinks or anything like that.

Just called in for a drink. First time have been there. My daughter told us about it. Lovely place.

Our first time visiting this pub from recommendations on local Facebook group. We had Sunday lunch. We both chose beef and we really enjoyed it. Lovely tender beef, great roasties and nice selection of fresh veg and a good yorkie pud. Service was very friendly although a tad slow for our mains to arrive (35 mins from ordering). The only thing I would say is it would be nice for table to be set up ready with cutlery and salt/pepper, rather than them arriving loose in a big wooden box that the table had no room for. Just a little suggestion though and it certainly wouldn't stop us returning or recommending. Will try other food too on our next visit. Thank you 😃

This is an absolute gem of a pub, food is amazing and prices are good the atmosphere is friendly what more could you want.

July 23 Had a lovely meal here on Sunday. Some of our party were running late but they were very understanding. Food was plentiful and really good quality. Will definitely return. Thank you June 24 visited again on a Monday night again service and food top quality.

We went here following a nice country walk and stopped for lunch which was very good.

I like the Butcher's Arms. Called in for a pint this afternoon and sat outside. 👍

Family meal. Food was great. Very busy for a Monday, glad we booked.

Excellent food,timely service and friendly staff

Wonderful clean and happy pub with smiley happy staff

Lovely Sunday roast dinner on Mother's Day with the most amazing desserts on offer! Credit to the chefs and the great service from the front of house team!

Very nice pub service and food are Amazing.

Neat and friendly country pub with delicious food. Was a pleasant surprise to find this so close to home. Staff and patrons alike were friendly and engaging. Food is always top notch and good value too which always a plus.

Great local pub with the best chips!

Great friendly staff fantastic range of drinks beers and coffee and tea options decent pub food well worth a visit.

How did you delete my review? Anyway, I remember calling in here a few months ago..... Brian said "the kitchen is closed" when it was 20 minutes to kitchen closing time. We were only asking for a couple of burgers as well. He rudely and very condescendingly confronted my friend who is on meds for epilepsy about it by re-iterating "don't you understand?" and "don't you GET it" more than once, emphasising GET to infer my friend is stupid. My friend had to suffer arrogance and poor awareness skills. My friend is very aware that :40 is 20 minutes to go, and that a couple of burgers is a very quick easy order. People with disabilities like diabetes can really be hammered by pretending food is available when it isn't. Also when you are on meds you get very aware of people being rude but your drugs are slowing you down... You can understand and feel the awful feelings acutely, but you can't speak back, you just have to take the abuse and leave with it churning in your head. Landlord is a public facing position Thank you

Excellent village pub with great food, good atmosphere and a wide selection of beer, wine and liquor at astonishingly reasonable prices. We shall definitely be back.

Had a family Sunday Lunch here and it was fabulous. Starters, main & sweets have a good options and were delicious.

Always a pleasure to stop here on the way home from watching Eastleigh FC away, Brian and the team are great, if you haven't been, you've missed out!

We had a quick lunch here from the lunch menu. It was cheap & simple. The bacon in BLT was extra crispy, & the chips were nice. The pub was dog friendly in places. The toilets were clean & adequate. The garden looked nice.

Lovely staff, lovely food but a bit expensive for the portion size.

Was a very enjoyable afternoon. The food was lovely and cooked perfectly. Chicken wings and tempa prawns. Steak and chips.(Amazing)Staff were friendly. Would highly recommend eating here.

Lovely Saturday lunch, the chocolate cookie dough for dessert was amazing!

Didn't eat but watched a bit of cricket and had a nice pint of pale ale friendly staff nice

Good traditional pub food! Friendly and welcoming and a lively atmosphere.

Great pub atmosphere, lovely meal and good pint of Guinness, had the gammon and eggs, and the sticky toffee pudding. Staff were great too

Loved it in there very friendly. Would go there again 😊

I like the Butcher's Arms. It's a friendly, down to earth local with a great atmosphere and a reasonable selection of beers. The Butcher's offers fairly typical 'pub grub' but of a much higher quality than offered by many others.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Everyone enjoyed the food and beer was 👍. Will definitely visit again

Stumbled across this gem of a pub whilst driving through the Warwickshire countryside. Lunchtime visit, had the mac n cheese with garlic bread. Lovely food, hit the spot. A delight of a country pub and staff were ultra friendly. Dogs welcome in the bar and they have a lovely garden for summer evenings. Wish i lived nearer.

Real ale choice and friendly barstaff in pleasant surroundings.

Had a fantastic experience again in this wonderful pub, these are just fantastic warm friendly people, catered very well for dairy intolerant customers. Food is amazing we had a Mother's day lunch and all was just perfect

Great little village pub just off the motorway

So we have lived here for nearly two years and NEVER knew the Butchers had an open fire as we had never seen one lit - arriving on a freezing Tuesday eve (stretching out my birthday weekend 😁) I realise (studying the fireplaces) they they do in fact have a fire. We sat, had a drink and we were cold . So on asking the bar girl she said sure we will get it lit for you. OMG - ONE HAPPY COUPLE X

Beautiful food, atmosphere and service. What a little find!

Had a lovely meal at the Butchers Arms.

Must try their mushroom pie. Really yumm. Never had such yummy pie anywhere else. Food is good. Having said that, the service was really slow. We booked our table for 6.30pm and we were attended at 7 pm. Starters served at 7.45pm and main course at 8.30 pm. Really disappointed 😞 A good 3 hours. If you are planning to come with family try booking it earlier or even get the food ordered prior over the phone.

Nice cosy county pub , plenty of locals , nice friendly atmosphere, good choice of ales, larger's and spirits . Had a Sunday roast , it was simple yet tasty , nice yorkies plenty of side veggies and jugs of gravy for us all. My Beef was a little overdone for me but it was tasty and tender . My wife, mother-in-law and daughter enjoyed their meals , it's also very reasonable when you compare it to many other places in the area, Worth a stop .The Young lads that served us were pleasant and helpful. And the open fire was lovely and warm . All in all a nice pub. Would I return , yeah I probably will when in the area.

Food was very generous portions. As expected for pub grub.

Very nice welcoming pub, we had a pre Christmas family get together at the Butchers the food was good and reasonably priced with a good selection of drinks

top notch food. pleasant atmosphere. Nice to see people haven't seen for ages. highly recommended

A very nice local pub. Kid friendly that serves food til 16:00ish. They have a nice variety of beer and snacks too. There were enough tv’s throughout, so you won’t miss any of the sports action! Parking is good and there is also a little outside area for the good weather. A very nice cosy pub.

Good pub good food what's not to like

Traditional village pub. Well kept beer and a warm welcome.

Good choice of beers nice lunch.

Gorgeous place, dog friendly. The fish and chips are delicious and the halloumi covered dirty fries are my personal favourite! Absolutely fantastic

This pub is a fantastic GEM! The food was well worth the mone. Staff so easy to get on with. Real friendly. And it's nice that it's dog friendly

Excellent food at good prices and with a nice atmosphere. We'll be back!

Lovely staff. Friendly welcoming local pub serving great food and well kept beer.

Cosy village pub with friendly staff and lovely food

Went for a family meal to celebrate our grandsons birthday. A lovely warm welcome from the staff and fantastic service throughout. Food was delicious. A gem of a place and highly recommend. We will return.

Great Pub with really friendly staff, and the food is great too.

You know how sometimes you take an instant liking to a place? Well this was one of them. Friendly and welcoming. Lovely pub and garden.

Loved it. The food was absolutely delicious and staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Visited at lunch for food. Told there was a wait but then were completely ignored over the course of two drinks, so gave up and left.

Lovely food, friendly staff. Family run pub, will do everything to help you out.

We have visited twice for a meal. Both times the food and drink was good and the staff friendly.

Had a meal here we had previously had a Sunday dinner here which was v nice but the meal we had wasn't v nice at all won't eat here again

A real pub with good ale and food at a sensible price.

Another evening meal with drinks at the "Butchers". What could be better.

Great lunchtime offer. Friendly staff, quick service and excellent prices. Now been a second time and just as good.

Very enjoyable Sunday lunch. Very obliging staff and great service.

What a great place! Staying in a nearby cottage with friends, we visited the Butchers Arms on New Year’s Eve. We received the warmest welcome from Selena and Brian and were invited to share buffet food and fun with the pub regulars. It was a lovely and memorable start to 2022. We wish it was our local; we would be in there every day!

Lovely food and nice atmosphere. Service really good would Recommend to any one.

Another lovely evening in the wonderful Butchers Arms, everyone is so friendly, it feels like we’re all family.

Amazing food definitely get your moneys worth and then some! Lovely family friendly atmosphere and friendly attentive staff, highly recommended

Lovely food. Good staff recommend.

Friendly pub good food and service

Nice little pub off the motorway with nice staff too... Great for a stop rather than using the services.

Great beer, food and service. A great village pub well worth a visit.

Really welcoming atmosphere and lovely food.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Menu is limited but portions are a good size and offers good value for money.

Had a Sunday lunch today 12th September with 9 other members of my family who all said it was lovely Thank you🙂

Very friendly staff food excellent x very reasonable prices x well worth a visit.

Lovely pub. Friendly atmosphere, nice food and clean tables. What more could you ask for?

Nice cold beer, served with a smile (under there face mask).

Lovely food and very attentive staff. I have a wheat allergy and there were lots of safe options and gluten free options available. Good pricing too!

Good value friendly local pub with great food

Lovely fish and chips tonight. Portion size spot on.

Good beer, friendly staff and rigorous adherence to Covid rules.

Cannot praise this pub enough! Food great, portions generous, food fresh, very reasonably priced, staff so friendly as are the management. Stopped in to try and booked straight away for the following night. Have also booked for Sunday lunch when passing back through on way home from holiday.

One of the best roasts I've had in years... Shame its so far from Oxford. Large roast and a pint of Stowford for less Tha £13. Highly recommended

First time we went to this pub and was really looking forward to it . Unfortunately we read the sign wrong to the lounge (outside door said lounge) and ended up in the restaurant which looked like a bar lounge! This was the only place we could go as we had out dogs with us. The owner was very rude telling us to move when we were trying to figure out where to sit as he presumed we knew the area we were aloud to be in. We decided the best thing to do was to leave. We won't be going back. Real shame really.

Great food friendly staff.. Its a lovely pub

Visited for Sunday lunch while staying with relatives, had the small plate Sunday roast which was ample and nicely cooked apart from the mash potatoes which were stodgy for my taste, beef and turkey well cooked and tender.

Always great food and service 👍

Good food, service, atmosphere and great value for money.

Food is really good, it's cheap and there is plenty of park space. There was a team building and we barely found a table, which made it a very long wait for the food. The table was sticky :-| and this king of spoils the experience.

Just having a works xmas do Quite literally this has to be 100% the best Christmas Dinner out I've ever had. The food is unbelievably delicious. Thank you to the staff. Merry Christmas 2019 From Kev x
