The Butchers Arms in Cotswold - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Genuine English Pub with friendly staff, delicious burgers and the best pie I have ever eaten (steak and ale pie, have to try!).

We had a lovely experience at the restaurant with a tranquil river view. Enjoyed some burgers with the kids and apple pie.

Menu offered different from the online menu which sounded much better, was not impressed with the cheezy wheezy burger, took a burger and messed it up ( just to say the actual beef patty was lovely) but not impressed!!!

Mehrfach haben wir versucht, dort bei unserem Aufenthalt in Mickleton zu essen, aber die Öffnungszeiten entsprachen nie denen im Internet. Freitags mittags kein Essen, sonntags abends kein Essen, es kam uns sehr beliebig vor, ob der Laden gerade Essen servierte oder nicht.

Brilliant. That is all that can be said. Stayed the night in the campervan. Friendly and good food.

Lovely burgers, quaint pub lovely landlady, very good quality burgers for portion and quality, best I have had in a long time, highly recommend

Supposed to be a good place for pies ,was ok pie crust cooked separately then 'filled' served with mash/ chips and peas.Was ok nothing special.

Phenomenal burgers. Locally-sourced meat from the excellent butchers, and other local produce. Huge portions, too. We ordered a second patty for one and had to take half of the burger home. They even had gluten-free buns and could make chips gluten-free in the air fryer to avoid contamination from the oil.

Good pub, very good beer,very friendly people, not touristic

Hark! A tale I weave of Mickleton's delight, A village gem, where spirits take flight! Nestled it be, 'neath Meon Hill's spooky brow, Where ghosts do cavort, with a right frightful row! But fear not, dear traveller, for merriment reigns, At the Butcher's Arms, where laughter unchains! A pub it stands, so grand and so old, Its timbered frame, a story untold. Like a mischievous wink 'tween cottages bright, Each house a masterpiece, a colourful sight! The locals there, with cheeks like the rose, Quaff tankards of ale, as the good feeling flows. Don't fret if your canine companion you bring, For a four-legged friend's a most welcome thing! Belly rubs aplenty, and pats on the head, While you sup on your ale, in a warm, yeasty bed. Now the barkeep, a soul with a voice like a bull, Will spin yarns so tall, they'd leave Falstaff quite full! Of battles with dragons, and witches who brew, And perhaps a ghost sighting, or maybe just two! So raise a glass high, to this haven so grand, The Butcher's Arms, the best in the land! Where history whispers, and spirits take flight, And laughter rings true, both by day and by night!

2 of us had a meal here, both drawn in by the homemade pies using meat from local butchers apparently. One was a steak and ale, the other was ham and leek. The ham and leek contained about 4 cubes of meat and the pastry base was so tough you couldn't cut through it. I thought it was a one off but the other pie's base was equally as tough. £15 a shot. Nobody checked during the meal if everything was okay. We told the lad, in his early 20s, who collected our plates that the pies were really tough. He just gave us a knowing smile (as if this was a common complaint) and said "I'll let them know". Won't be returning.

Proper village pub with good pies. Great outdoor area.

Brilliant place. Live music too. Welcoming staff and friendly customers.

We had a local recommend The Butchers Arms so we gave the famous Pies a try! It was huge portions and good value, worth the visit. Don’t be put off by the scruffy exterior 😉

Can't tell you about the food. But the pub is brilliant, made to feel welcomed by the staff and the manager. It's only the second time I have been, and I was treated like a long-lost friend. The staff and locals are warm and friendly. If you're in area vist. The beer is cared for, and you will never get a bad pint.

Just had a beautiful meal , great menu great friendly staff and a lovely warm welcome great beer great service ,can't fault this place .

A visit to an old wooden pub to commemorate the life of a comrade. Well, fed and hosted.

Spend afew hours having a couple of pints

Lovely, lively, welcoming traditional pub. Good food - try the pies. A couple of well kept beers on hand pump. Very friendly jolly staff. Dog friendly. Ticks all the boxes!

A lovely homely pub with two log burner fires, excellent food, welcoming hosts and friendly locals.

We had an overnight stay in the carpark of The Butchers Arms pub in our Camper. As well as being campervan friendly, the pub is family run with very friendly staff, they serve a great range of ales and they offer a good range of home cooked food. Whilst parking is free, we took the option of electric hook up for a nominal fee to save using our gas for the heating; given the freezing outside temperatures it was probably a wise choice. We had a drink in the afternoon then we went back into the pub in the evening to sample their victuals. We can testify that the pies are scrumptious, the portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. By the time we had finished our meal along with a few drinks, we were well and truly stuffed. (Might have to leave the side orders next time.) The locals were friendly and we were even invited to join in some birthday celebrations though we had to decline on the grounds that a good night’s sleep awaited. We would recommend The Butchers Arms to anyone but particularly motorhome or campervan users as Mickleton village centre is a short stroll and there is plenty more in the region to explore if you fancy driving or using public transport. If however, your New Year’s resolution is to lose weight, you had better order your food from the children’s menu.

This is a fabulous, friendly place to drink and eat. Everyone was so friendly, the food was delicious. The setting is so lovely with real fires at both ends. It was a busy place so it shows you how appreciated it is. The owners and their 2 gorgeous dogs were lovely. I miss being there as there are not enough places like this anymore. Thank you all

Great pub. Good selection of drinks and helpful staff. We stayed locally and wish we had a pub like this on our village .

The food was great and I wish I had come in for both nights of my stay the reception from staff and drinkers was great

Lovely village pub, great atmosphere and fantastic food.

Great local pub in Mickleton village. Just off the main road in the village, turning down the road opposite Morrisons Local shop. Traditional old style pub offering great pub grub and ales too. Had a 9 pin skittle alley to the rear and decent amount of seating inside and outside. Off road parking available to the side. Staff are really friendly and happy to advise on food, local places and beers too TV in the bar showing sport as well. Great place

It was a private group booking in the skittles alley part of the pub. Food was variable. Excellent 1st course with good choice. However the desserts hadn't been allowed to defrost long enough and still too firm to push a spoon in. I had to ask to have my lemon meringue pie popped in the microwave - which they did. Others soldiered on with there's. One lady commented " I'm waiting for mine to reach room temperature ". We enjoyed playing skittles. The garden looked attractive. Tight parking, but enough.

Stopped over in our Motorhome. Made very very welcome The food was absolutely amazing. One of the best steak pies I have ever had, Make sure that you have an elastic waistband as the portions are generous. I couldn't even consider ordering the Sticky Toffee Pudding as I was so sated If you are a Motorhomer do NOT drive past this place Landlord is very friendly. Two utterly beautiful and friendly dogs Despite being at a pub, never heard a thing Quiet stopover. Highly recommended

Had 2 evening meals at the pub. Very friendly and welcoming. Nothing fancy about the food, but well cooked and generous portions. Pies are superb ! Recommended if you like rustic pub with good food and friendly staff !

We are staying in Mickleton over the weekend and found the butchers arms by accident how lucky we are the food and service we're excellent also the food well cooked and a very generous serving

We stopped overnight in our motorhome the landlady was was really welcoming and helpful. We had evening meal. Menu small but omg the home made pies were gorgeous! A big thank you to all at the butchers arms.

Great menu. Lovely pint great staff and landlord

Great outdoor seating area and food.

Didn't dine. But beers excellent. Service friendly and helpful. Lovely beer Garden and shelter. Travelled miles out of our eay on a recommendation. Well worth it.

Service was great staff were very friendly. We was only there for 1 drink and it was very quiet. Loved the dogs that was roaming around could have spent all day there if we didn't have other plans.

Great pub friendly staff highly recommend 👌

Busy, friendly family pub. Food was well prepared and flavorful. Would definitely return.

Stopped in the camper for 1 night, (Sunday evening) so missed out on the meal, wasn't a problem had a liquid dinner instead, nice pub 🍻, dog freindly, nice staff & freindly locals.

Stayed here for 1 night in my campervan. EHU available £5. The food was amazing, lovely home cooked pies and reasonably priced.

Not a very welcoming establishment, drinks were flat and food barely warm.

Great pub for a pint and a football match. It also has a lovely outdoor seating area. I have visited the Cotswolds 3 times from Canada and love this pub.

Absolutely lovely came from Peterborough for a weekend away and this is such a rare homely local pub which is rare now days. Food was fantastic service was brilliant would recommend to anyone,

Really welcoming and friendly pub. Dog friendly too

Fantastic traditional pub, good food good beer, nice to see a pub full of people.

Lovely atmosphere, good beers, food is very reasonable although menu is a little limited.

Great Pub, great food, would definitely go again, a real country pub feel to it, and they like dogs!

Great pub rediscovered it after 20 years ish ,fantastic atmosphere, brilliant landlord and landlady and a great live band will be definitely visiting again.

Extremely rude and arrogant owner. Has lost four local customers thanks to his ill-mannered behaviour. Only likes to serve what he classes as 'locals' which (to him) actually means 'regulars'...don't be fooled, the fact that you're a paying customer and trying to support local doesn't gain you entry here. Avoid!!!

Fantastic village pub, friendly locals good bar staff.

Amazing pub with real friendly staff and even amazing food n drinks. It was a minute walk from three ways hotel where we stayed and we had the best meal here and was nice and cosy . Also noticed it was dog friendly which was an added bonus for people with their 4 legged friends .(wish I had one too) The team was friendly and approachable and you would feel an friendly ambience and local pub feel as people knew each other .. something the big cities lack .. would definitely come again on our next visit to cots world . P.S : don’t miss the pies , they are amazing

The ale and beer is extremely well kept and the food is beyond compare for quality. The black and blue burger is delightfully savoury with a wonderful sauce that truely does the burger justice. However i heartily recomend the chilli burger, if you dont dont like jalapenos ask them to be removed and enjoy the chilli jam on top of a pile of pulled beef and a beef burger that makes your mouth water at the smell. Tangy, spicy and rich in flavour go for it, its a masterpiece. Also the garden is beautiful and seating has press request heaters above them the staff are friendly and the inside of the pub is always warm and cozy with a homely feel.

we went here three times and each time the experience was perfect. if you are a vegetarian do not miss the vegetarian pie. it is the kind of place where the first time you visit total strangers buy a round of drinks for you. awesome people and like going to a home you did not know you belonged to.

Nice cozy pub. Enjoyed the food, had the chicken & Chorizo pie, wife had pepperoni pizza. Both delicious. Friendly staff, would recommend

We went here for lunch without booking , 7 of us to start with ! The were very accommodating, we had pizzas and chips to share , it was delicious and very quick service ! We stayed most of the afternoon with more of our party arriving , lovely friendly atmosphere.

Lovely 'real' pub with amazing pies. We had a lovely walk and pie/pint.

Mediocre local pub with food of sorts nothing to write home about

What a great pub.l! Food was awesome, staff friendly and welcomed our dog too. We parked our camper here for £5 for the night which was great. This is how a local pub should be . Please open one in Cornwall!!!

My partner and I visited on 26th August. We had a light lunch and later a full meal and the food and drink was excellent. In the afternoon there was a visit by a group of locals who apparently have a once a month get together which created a really nice atmosphere. The evening was busy. being a Friday but not too crowded to spoil our enjoyment.

Good food and drinks. Friendly people.

Very welcoming staff and the customers were very sociable

Good food and prices, friendly staff and locals

Great old English pub, with great pies and good size potions Doombar beer on tap, always a bonus. Worth popping in for.

We were staying at a nearby hotel for a wedding, popped here for a chilled evening and what a find! Friendly staff and locals, the food was homemade and delicious, big portions so very good value for money ! Definitely recommend if you are in the area

We stopped here on our way through the town. Food was unbelievable, staff very helpful and very reasonably priced, would definitely recommend. Would have the burger again, very big portions too!

A superb Cotswold pub with excellent food and lovely staff, well worth a visit.

Home made pie and chips what more do you need

We went to the Cotswolds; we usually go to Cornwall but couldn't be arsed to drive all that way this year. Stayed at the Three Ways. Wanted supper but the menus at the other places looked a bit up themselves. My wife is a steak and ale pie enthusiast so we thought we'd give it a go. Beer outside first. Sun was out and it was lovely. Hereford pale ale is a revelation. English ale as it should be. My wife had the pie and I had a pulled pork burgery affair. Neither of us could finish it. I had a good go, but felt queer after. My wife was beaten and felt really bad because the food was excellent. We just got sandwiches from the Londis for the rest of our stay cos we had no appetite. Overfaced.

Our family (2 adults, 2 teens) from the US enjoyed a fantastic dinner here. It’s a cosy local pub. There is an outdoor seating area but a few people were smoking so we sat inside. There were very few people but everyone was friendly.

Great little pub with nice beers and friendly service. Will go again if in the area.

Coffee not served to dart players, very disappointed as I don't drink as I am usually driving As a pub serving food one would expect them to also serve coffee an tea.

Great place for food and drink, the homemade pies are just the best. Great staff and the landlord and landlady were just brilliant with us and our motorhome.

Good honest pub food with welcoming service. Lovely place to drop in and grab a drink and some food

Visited here three times whilst here, great service and very friendly staff and meals that left you full! We also called in the Kings Arms but to be honest we felt very at home in the Butchers Arms!! Highly recommended!I Thanks to all the hard working staff.

Great pub friendly service brilliant draught beers

Stayed in our camper for the night last night x couple who run it are lovely they even showed us round there new camper van . All staff very friendly and locals alike x well done and keep it up x highly recommended ws718

Proper pub, good atmosphere, good food

Popped in with the dog after a 6 mile walk in the area. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, food looked great even though we didn't eat. Will go back to eat next time we visit the area.

Just a really nice pub with friendly staff, a nice selection of drinks, great pub food and just an enjoyable place to be. Dog friendly to boot.

Excellent service provided by staff and team.

Great local pub . Welcoming landlord and staff. Locals all spoke to us. We had booked a table which was nicely placed in the corner near the fire. We had excellent starters, We had starters one was haloumi and the other Prawns. Both excellent. I had the game pie and my wife had the Black and Blue Burger which she says was the best she has ever had. The burger came with chips but my wife asked if she could have salad instead which they did and what an excellent salad it was. The young lady who served behind the bar was helpful polite and cheerful. It was a great evening excellent meal and excellent company . I have noticed many positive reviews on here and they have said everything I would have said

Nice friendly local pub. Goid drink selection, friendly locals and welcoming landlord.

We enjoyed our evening at the Butcher's Arms and had a great time in the pub with the very friendly staff and locals. The food was superb - I do recommend the faggots! Our dogs were a bit noisy but we were still made to feel welcome. Great location and charming pub.

Visited from staying in threeways hotel nearby. Great meal lots of it and quality. Had the steak pie and the special scampi both excellent. There is a standard menu mainly pies, burgers and Piazzas with a few specials on the board all around £13. There...

Great place to stopover if you have a camper. The Staff are warm and welcoming and the food is freshly cooked to a high standard. The pies are legendary and great value.

Great little pub that serves the never ending steak pie..absolutely delicious..wanted a dessert but couldn't fit one in..great staff and Pepsi the resident dog will keep you busy with her ball.. highly recommend

Really friendly and authentic country pub. Fantastic service, (we were found a free table when spaces were sparse, and our request for a side that wasn’t on the menu was met without any fuss) nothing was too much trouble.

1st visit, not our last, good food, great Halloween weekend very busy , very accommodating hosts stayed in motorhomes will be back again x

Food here is amazing, good value for money and really filling. Pies were really good and had a really home cooked feel to then as well. Service was also really good. Definitely pre book if you are coming here though.

Found this little gem after a 10km hike in the rain! Friendly staff and a warm welcome, delicious pies and a lovely atmosphere! Would 100% recommend!

A warm welcome awaited us. The pub was busy and we waited an hour for our food, which was absolutely delicious. The pies were wonderful but limited in choice as they had run out of some. Well worth the wait. A very busy pub, it...
