The Butchers Arms in Malvern Hills

Another Sunday lunch visit to the Butchers and this time solo but no worry. Warm and friendly welcome as ever, great lunchtime atmosphere. Delicious pigeon breast salad with pancetta, chicory and elderflower. Following the game theme with roast duck, Anna potatoes, morello cherry and blackberry. All going swimmingly with a fine bottle of Chateauneuf Domaine de la Solitude (appropriate!). Rounded off with chocolate cremeux, Griottine cherries and cocoa tuile. Always love a bit if chocolate soil. Great way to welcome autumn.

Easy to park though it is slightly difficult to find as it is in the countryside. Welcomed on arrival and taken to table . Nice ambience. Ordered wine whilst looking at menu. A limited selection but as everything is cooked fresh in the kitchen it is understandable. Starters :- Eel very enjoyable especially as it is something rarely on menus and Salmon again excellent. Main :- Cod and mussels cooked beautifully with flavoursome sauce ( spoon provided) and duck cooked to my wife's satisfaction. Dessert :- Apple and blackberry crumble good quality and Bombe Alaska , strangely it was the first time my wife has had this dessert but she will definitely have it again as she was very happy. Nice bottle of Merlot. It is a family run business and it shows as everyone is welcoming , cheerful and efficient. One point I would like to make is that the present owners took over the business in 2018 so ignore any reviews prior to that date.

Lovely birthday celebration evening - which fueled two personal best times at following day’s Parkrun! Lovely wild pigeon, duck and ‘arctic roll’ with Nyetimber sparkling. Wonderful hospitality at one of our favourite places.

Beautiful food and gorgeous atmosphere. We celebrated my partners birthday here in August. The pub is a little tricky to find and we drove past it once without realising. However once you arrive you can see why the place is popular. Very rustic/rural/‘Cotswolds’ classic feel. The staff were super lovely and welcoming. The food was cooked to perfection and really tasty. Yes it’s a little on the pricier side for mains, but you can truly tell the quality is there in all of the ingredients (we paid £135 for 2 people - 2 drinks to start, 2 mains, 3 glasses of wine and 2 desserts)

Visited Pom Saturday evening as an anniversary treat. What a great choice. The pub was beautiful inside and out . After a cheerful welcome from staff and locals having a pint, we had a drink sitting in the garden enjoying the late afternoon sunshine then back inside. The food was high quality and beautifully put together - flavours and presentation. All in all a lovely evening, great location, lovely welcome with quality food and wine. One of our best anniversary choices

I went for my birthday, while staying at the nearby Corse Lawn Hotel. The food was very good, but the menu was quite limited - 4 starters & 4 mains - and our preferred option (the duck) was not available. It's also pretty expensive, considering that it's "just a pub" and not really fine dining, and quite hard to find; we drove past the first time, distracted by a vehicle coming the other way on what is a very narrow road.

First class pub/restaurant. We first visited some 3 years ago and were very impressed. Back in Gloucestershire this month we paid a return visit and were delighted to find it still exceeding expectations. Wonderful steak tartare for starters and beef main courses, good beers, excellent wine list, excellent friendly service and nice ambience.

What a lovely find! My husband and I visited the butchers arms for our wedding anniversary and we had a delightful meal with excellent service. The food was super tasty and beautifully presented, the host was really welcoming, friendly and helpful and the pub and grounds were just beautiful 🥰

I would like to thank Mark and Jo for their recent hospitality. I took my ten year old daughter after a recent separation from her mum and we were made to feel so welcome. We stayed in their cottage on site which was a home from home. The ambiance as soon as you walk in is second to none. You are greeted like old friends. The food was sensational. A must when in this part of the world, or even if you are not, book and stay and experience the best. Blown away and I have had the luxury of eating in some Michelin Star restaurants and let me tell you, this is up there! Thank you.

We went to cheer up a dark January and it was totally top notch. Delicious food, wine and drinks. Lovely friendly service and super surroundings. We will definitely go again.

A really lovely looking pub in this beautiful village with the exterior lit up for Christmas. The restaurant was busy and the service was excellent. The food was lovely; some lovely inventive dishes with local ingredients, on a small but adequate list of menu options. Meat and fish were both excellent and beautifully cooked, apart from a very tough sirloin steak which was difficult to cut from the off (!) and then noticed it had a rather large tendon running through it. Unfortunate really, but having had to pay £32 for this means I won’t return. Everything else was really lovely. Many reviews on here seem to refer to this pub as having a Michelin star. It’s worth noting that this is not the case and that the pub appears in the Michelin Guide. Two very different things.

Returned for the first time in almost 10 years. Similar experience as before. Beautiful location, lovely old building, excellent food. Seriously very good. For us the night felt rushed a bit , no time between courses, uncomfortable due to the seating arrangement, down light in our face; and a special night for us came to an end as we decided to head home early. Food excellent. Meat cook perfectly pink and delicious accompanying veg. Very talented chef. Just, for us, the atmosphere/experience of the night again didn't amount to a romantic/cosy night.

Recently had lunch here for a birthday celebration. What a fantastic experience it was too. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The service was impeccable and food was divine. We will definitely be coming again.

If you are somebody that reads the other reviews look how old the nine "terrible" reviews are, they are certainly no longer relevant. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were friendly and efficient and the food was terrific. The 93.75% "excellent" and "very good" reviews should be noted, we will be going back.

We recently ate at this wonderful pub. Cannot recommend it highly enough. The food was sublime. They have a wonderful wine list. The staff are just excellent. Don't hesitate...just go and enjoy.

Dinner and an overnight stay in the cottage at The Butcher's Arms were the perfect prelude before a day at nearby Hartpury's International Horse Trials last weekend. The food was delicious and well on the way to achieving another Michelin Star. This is a 'proper' pub with seriously good restaurant food - in a delightful, old building that oozes character. The cottage is thoughtfully decorated and provided a very comfortable night's sleep - and only 1 minutes' walk from the restaurant!

Came for a spot of lunch with my Dad, we had the most amazing food that was beautifully presented. Service was slick and speedy with friendly staff. Highly recommend having a starter, main and pudding….and the English wine is delicious.

We had a really nice lunch here. The venue is very rustic but nicely done and comfortable. The log wood burner gave ambience and service was good And welcoming. The menu was tasty with good options all well presented and very tasty. The crème brûlée was a highlight but all were good. Nice beer and some reasonable wines. We will certainly return

We have just returned from 2 nights staying at this delightful pub in the Malvern/Cotswold borders. Such a warm welcome awaited us and our little, one bedroom cottage was snug, well appointed with a very comfy bed. Bread, milk, tea, fresh coffee, pain au chocolate and cereal were stashed in the cupboards and fridge plus other extras such as butter, juice and jams. We had dinner both nights in the pub itself and the food was totally delicious all served by friendly staff who were knowledgeable about the local area which was handy. We will just have to return as only scratched the surface of all the places to visit, thank you Butchers Arms, we’ll be back😀

Came with a large group of 16 ladies from our dining club & preordered our meal. Starters were perfection on a plate followed by even more perfection and superbly cooked mains and deserts. Couldn’t fault any of our meals. Excellent service. Stunning pub outside & in. Well done 10/10

Lovely birthday lunch. Amazing food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Well worth the journey on the frosty roads

This was our second time at the Butchers arms, we went for late lunch Xmas eve and the atmosphere was lovely. The staff had remembered we had two fish eaters in the group and had ensured there were two choices of starters. Staff are chatty and attentive and work hard to make the meal special. My cod was lovely, my husband had the steak and enjoyed it but felt the choice of serving it with sprouts and gravy a bit odd. Considering the amazing presentation last time of the venison ( carved) we were surprised that it was just served as a whole steak, it just didn’t feel as special but none the less tasted good. Lovely puddings, great moonshine, only slightly marred by an extremely drunk lady bizarrely joining our table with her dog just as we were trying to leave, the lady at the bar was aware though and did ask if we wanted her to be asked to leave, I thought she handled it very well. We will definitely be going again

We had a lovely celebration here and can’t recommend it enough! The guinea fowl and venison were particularly good, though I would say everything we tried was delicious. The staff were lovely, even though they were clearly busy, and we felt very welcome.

Was visiting a college nearby with our daughter and decided to have lunch before heading back around there so was reasonably random choice by what was nearby. The place is very small and looks very traditional inside for country pub. The menu is also not large at all which looks rather good than bad. The quality, complexity and presentation of food is of quality you get in a very high end restaurant. I specifically like to mention the venison steak tartar - that was really amazing. My daughter had short ribs of beef that were full of flavors and not a typical main you can get in a restaurant. The wine list is of good quality and reasonably priced. I always take a selection of cheeses if available and the freshness was of very high standard there. If we are to be around again we would definitely return.

Spent an amazing few hours at the pub yesterday to celebrate my husbands birthday, and it didn’t disappoint. This was our first visit and it won’t be the last as we are already planning a return. The pub is small and beautifully decorated with a timeless country feel, the log burner was on and very welcoming. The service was excellent without being fussy and the food simply stunning. I have nothing negative to say, thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

Came here today for my brothers birthday lunch. Someone sniffed a Michelin star chef or something....anyway the pub is super quaint. I mean there's a car park with gravel so you don't get your Gabor boots muddy &;the toilets are outside so maybe chilly in winter? But otherwise this place is to die for. I wish I could wrap it up & drop it the other side of the Malvern Hills in Cradley! When you walk in its full of locals quaffing ales at the bar, hops decorating the beams & a log fire...You also get Gille...the French erm whatever he was....super ironic, v funny 'I can make you that' who totally enhanced our lunch. I did try to wind him up with 'I'm vegan' but he batted me out of the park. I mean this isn't the place if yob are. I have a vegan daughter & we wisely left her at home working on her dissertation.. anyway....service was on point. (As you would expect I wise French hands) Nothing was too much trouble. My sister in law & I fancied moyitos....The menu was small but fantastic. We ate Bambi & monk fish. The mackerel was still breathing. I'd say the chef likes it fresh. The wine was 10/10. My only warning would be if you have a vegan/veggie in your party give the chef advance warning or leave them at home with your dogs!

Lovely venue, the menu was limited my wife likes vegetarian food when choice is limited, sadly none on menu, but after asking if available as an option one was offered! We guys only fancied the steak, ordered rare and medium rare sadly left on grill too long and wasn’t easy to cut even with the steak knife! very limited on vegetables just a roasted carrot a small amount of purée and the steak topped with water cress, only a red wine jus lacking flavour and large bowl of frozen chips when paying £31 a nice Stilton or pepper sauce would have been nice and hand cut chips. The cheese board was surprisingly limited just a small selection of nice cheeses just 2 oatcakes accompanied the cheese most places give way too much cheese just enough was given, we believe that some crackers were needed and butter as my friend struggled as everything was just too dry with just the oatcakes Considering the limited menu we believe more could be offered for the price charged . We had been recommended by friends as their new place to go, but we were disappointed as our meal for 4 came to over £150 with just 1 ale and water drinks. Sorry for the neutral feedback I did see one other feedback from last December with the same concerns with the steak.

Everything about our lunch today was amazing. Food, incredible. Service, attentive and relaxed. Friendly, welcoming, gorgeous pub. I visited today with 2 friends for a special birthday lunch and was not disappointed. I will be back

Went to the Butchers Arms as a family Birthday treat, just 4 of us for lunch. Has the feel of a pub-cum-restaurant, in historical ex slaughter house. Food was excellent and we prefer smaller portions of well cooked, tasty food. Which was exactly what we...

Top- quality service, with amazingly crafted food ! Really do recommend taking the effort to come out and try this place.

I cannot recommended this establishment enough. A warm welcome awaits you as you arrive with friendly, efficient and unassuming service throughout the meal with no feeling of being rushed because of covid restrictions. Scotch eggs superlative, venison to die for, sea bream succulent. With regard to puddings it is difficult to choose which one to enjoy. All food is presented beautifully with portions which do not overwhelm you or so small that you end up leaving hungry which has happened to us recently in a Worcestershire supposedly high class restaurant. The Butchers Arms deserves a Michelin star which the previous owners received. Visit and enjoy.

My daughter and I celebrated my birthday with dinner at this friendly pub restaurant. We were blown away by the food and willingness to alter the food for her IBS diet. I particularly enjoyed the sirloin steak which was as rare as I like. My daughter thought the venison was incredible. We had a relaxed evening and I enjoyed having a candle to blow out. I will definitely recommend this restaurant.

We visited with our 1 year old baby on holiday and were a little nervous about the sheer quality of the restaurant combined with a sometimes difficult baby...And I have to say, it was an astoundingly pleasant experience all round. The pub itself is in a lovely, scenic, rural setting amidst rolling hills and dense forests. I could dwell on how fantastic the food was but you’ll be able to see that from the other reviews and the pictures; what I will say is, I have eaten at many 2star restaurants and this was in the top 5 meals I’ve ever eaten I would say. Sublime cheffing with hearty portions to boot. Extremely good value.What really made this experience 10/10 for us was how accommodating, Nay, welcoming the manager and service was to our baby. As if he was one of their own! Despite not having a children’s menu they went out of their way to make him a special cod, mash and carrots and were so sympathetic to our needs. The food was prompt, fresh, perfect.The pub is a pub lovers dream, all wood fires and clad in oak. Picturesque with charm and style. Do not hesitate to visit if you’re anywhere in the area, go out of your way to pass by if you’re not!! Oh and have the chocolate ganache; thank me later.

We had a family dinner here. Welcoming staff with a very pleasant attitude. Brief but excellent menu and outstanding food. A good selection of beers and wines.

Lovely food and great service! Highly recommend! Staff friendly. Steak delicious and sticky toffee pudding excellent

Took my sister Joanna for a lunchtime treat. Couldn't be faulted. Food and service excellent. Highlights were the John Dory and the Chocolate Ganache pudd. We will be back again.

Thanks Jo-Anne, Mark and Laura for another memorable meal. Our friends definitely thought the mussels were worth the hour's drive! See you again soon

We went for date night last week and had a lovely meal. The staff welcomed us from the moment we walked in the door and couldn't be more without being over the top. The food was very well presented and tasted amazing.

Fantastic food and incredible service We visited the Butchers arms the first week it reopened for food. As the weather was nice we opted to sit outside. They still provided table service and the extra measures for sanitation were brilliant. Anti bac on every table, staff kept a good distance and the toilets were sparkling. Most importantly the food was Devine. We were a groups of 4 , 2 adults and 2 children and although there wasn’t a children’s menu the kids really enjoyed. Lovely friendly and approachable team, who really reassured people regarding the new ways. We will be back

Visited this week. Warm friendly welcome and amazing food. Our first meal out since the restrictions have lifted and felt very comfortable here. Well done and full marks 😊👌

Delightful venue. A return visit for my birthday...the friendly welcome and service was exceptional and the food was just amazing. Our chateaubriand steak was the absolute best we’d ever had and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend.

We visited the Butchers to celebrate a Birthday. Warmly greeted at the door by Jo-Anne and seated immeadiately. The decor is appropriate and understated. The menu was excellent with a balanced selection. The salt cod scotch egg is amazing and well worth a visit. I would have happily eaten the entire menu. My compliments to Mark for an excellent feast. The Butcher’s was well worth an off the beaten track journey to sample their hospitality. Thank you dry much!

How lovely it was to return to the Butchers post lockdown. We were introducing friends to one of our favourite eating places and had the most delicious meal last night. I couldn't resist the mussels which were the plumpest and most tasty I have had for years. Welcome back Jo-Anne and Mark. We hope the sun shines on you during the rest of the summer and we will look forward to our next visit.

Guided by Michelin Man we made a short detour to come here for Sunday lunch after church. The complications of the first Church services and first days of restaurant opening after lockdown had led me to fiddle around with times but the team were terribly accommodating and we found ourselves greeted on the path to the front door and guided first to a lovely outdoor table for drinks, thence inside with great timing skills, into a beautiful separate dining room which pre pandemonium would probably have done ten but was sumptuous, airy and spacious for four, all of whom proceeded to eat mightily well. Fabulous flavoursome faggots, Moist cod and succulent tasty steak. Parkin and Gooseberry Fool, two of my favourite puddings, left me with a pleasant dilemma!Excellent service. Friendly and natural. Wonderful!

We were recommended this restaurant by a couple we met in a pub the night before and how thankful we are for that.The pub/restaurant is in the middle of nowhere and looks wonderful and welcoming when you arrive,alot of character.A great welcome when we arrived and all safety measures were in place without feeling a sense of overkill.We had a lovely gin and tonic whilst browsing the wonderful,though relatively small,menu.We changed our minds more than once.In the end we both opted for hot smoked salmon with beetroot and horseradish and pickled cucumber,one of the best starters we have ever had.Lamb cutlets,so tender,and served pink as requested.Panacotta and cheese and a lovely red wine.A wonderful evening with very friendly and chatty waitresses who just wanted us to enjoy our dinner.Thank you to a wonderful team.

What a joy it was to go out for the first time since lockdown began to somewhere that I felt completely safe after seeing the precise efforts the owners had made to ensure the safety of all, staff and customers. As ever the welcome was warm and the service excellent and we left feeling we had feasted well and in very relaxing surroundings.The meal was a delight; portions fitting, tastes interesting, and a varied and excellent choice. The wines were also very well matched. This is overall a very happy place to enjoy an evening out, especially if you like comfortable, old, and simple surroundings that sum up this area between Worcestershire and Hereford so well. It is a difficult balancing act to have efficient, discreet staff who do not over dominate the small rooms and food that is not overtly "cheffy". they have really got it right. Lovely

Perfect setting, lovely warm welcome . Fires were well lit so everything inviting and warm at start. well stocked bar with so many options lovely food, menu choices suited us. My first visit but not the last. I got invited to celebrate my birthday so had a great birthday treat here . cant wait to be invited again Perfection

I first heard about this pub/restaurant a couple of years ago and we went on Friday evening. Beautiful pub with truly outstanding food. I was disappointed only in the fact I hadn't been here far sooner! We had the Salt Cod Scotch Egg and Crab & Brown Shrimp starters and both were a revelation. The Sea Bream and Guinea Fowl main courses were equally superb. We'll be back soon.......and often!

This very traditional and unassuming pub might not look much from the outside, or wow when you walk in, but when it comes to the food they really do impress! Quality ingredients well presented and extremely well cooked was a winning recipe for us: We had the burrata and salt cod scotch egg to start and the fillet beef and venison for mains- all highly recommended. Book to avoid disappointment as tables are limited.

Stunning meal!We went as a family of four to celebrate birthdays and had the most fantastic meal!The pub itself is full of old world charm and quirky features.We received the warmest of welcomes from the owner and the service throughout the evening was very attentive.The food was so tasty! Really fresh and beautifully seasoned. It looked just beautiful on the plate. We couldn’t resist doing all three courses and can highly recommend the Parkin cake! We staggered in to the night with fully bellies and big smiles. We will be back!

Visited again just to enjoy yet another delicious dinner and good company. The service is very attentive and friendly.

I finally booked my husband's bday meal here after wanting to visit for a long time. Everything was perfect from the ample parking, the warm welcome on arrival, the food was exceptional and the service first class. It really did not disappoint and we can't wait to visit again. Thank you also for finding and looking after my phone until I could collect it!

Fantastic experience. Lovely manner on the phone when booking. We had to call on our way to say we were running late because of road works and they were very understanding. I mentioned it was a special occasion and they decorated the table with little Happy birthday glitter and put a candle in the cake for dessert which was a lovely touch. Food was fantastic. I had the steak which melted in my mouth and husband had the fish. He said he hadn't had such beautiful fish in such a long time. Portions were very generous. We both struggled to finish. We of course had to leave room for dessert, panna cotta with rhubarb was divine.

My family and I visited this pub to celebrate a birthday. Jo was really helpful with providing suitable food for a 2 year old and certainly delivered on the food front, including a gluten intolerant member of our group. Superb service and quality of food. Would highly recommend.

The owner, Jo, is so friendly and welcoming. It was like arriving at a friends house for lunch. The decor is tasteful, traditional and cosy. It sets just the right mood for the delicious food that awaits you. The Sea Bass with mussels and mash was mouth-wateringly good and the sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel ice cream was the perfect end to a fabulous meal.Highly recommended.

Service is very friendly food is beautiful never had a bad meal drinking is nice too The owner Joanne she is very very nice lady very warm and welcome x

Lovely atmosphere cosy and warm, great service ( all with a smile) and delicious food.We will come again.

What a lovely evening... cosy table by the log burner, exquisite food and exceptional wine. We highly recommend for all foodies out there... an absolute dream.

Havent been here for years, long since it has changed hands and we weren't disappointed, I couldn't fault a single thing, service was perfect, food was perfect. Hope not to leave it so long until our next visit!

Food was nice and generous portion I had to share mine with hubby but we absolutely enjoyed it. The young girl at the reception was very friendly to us, made us feel comfortable. The toilet is outside the restaurant though but everything else was nice, the wine was good. Overall we were happy.

Service was excellent and the food was innovative and extremely tasty. We loved the cosy feel of the pub in a lovely country setting.

This was our first visit with the new hosts in charge. We were not disappointed. The menu choices were excellent and the quality and presentation of the food was fantastic. Great atmosphere and we were well look after by the fab team. No hesitation in recommending it - we will return!

Had lunch here last Saturday and couldn’t fault it. Amazing friendly professional staff. Everything we ate was beautifully presented and delicious. Not an enormous menu which I much prefer using local produce. Wonderful old pub setting with a cosy wood burning stove. Even the locals having a beer at the bar were so friendly. Surely on its way to getting its star back?

Delicious food and a cosy welcoming atmosphere in a small village with ampel parking. Book well in advance.

Always a delight to eat at the Butchers arms. Friendly and experienced staff and a lovely interior in this beautiful pub are the perfect setting for the delightful food. Never fails to delight.

We ate here last night as we were stopping over in Tewkesbury on our way to Portsmouth. It was a truly lovely pub. Nice atmosphere- no loud music playing - just really cosy and SO friendly. We were allowed to take our dog in to the bar area where they served our meals. The pub provided free homemade bread which was absolutely amazing! Our main meals - I had the steak and my husband had the pork chop and they were both truly beautiful tasty meals - just beautiful and freshly cooked. The venue is lovely, the staff couldn’t be more helpful ! If only more pubs served such tasty freshly cooked meals! 10 out of 10! Well done the Butchers Arms! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and our evening!

We went to the But hers Arms with a group of friend to celebrate our anniversary. From start to finish the experience was fantastic. Jo and her team provided superb service almost invisibly the food was served without us noticing that they were there.

Lovely, friendly and accurate service.

I am diabetic and totally sugar intolerant, and I avoid refined carbs. I am fully used to restaurants catering for every food allergy ,or lifestyle choice, apart from diabetes. Most decent restaurants with competent chefs are able to make minor adjustments to the dishes on offer so that I can enjoy my choice. I explained this to the waitress and the first course went well as an item containing sugar was omitted. It was agreed the main course would be served without potatoes. When the main arrived I found a dish included that could only be described as vegetables in syrup. The waitress and chef appeared to have forgotten the no sugar request made at the beginning of the meal. My companions described their meals as competent but lacking a wow factor. All in all a disappointing evening. It is unlikely we will return. Diabetes is the UK's 4th biggest killer. It is time the hospitality industry woke up to the fact

Best steak ever with gorgeous mushroom sauce and fabulous roasted garlic. Such friendly attentive service. Love a table with fresh flowers too!

A warm welcome on an inclemant day.The door was opened for us and we were greeted with friendly chatter from our accomplished hostess.A pint of Wye Valley Ale and a glass of Sauvignon blanc were speedily served.A good value fixed menu plus an a la carte.

Our third visit to this restaurant. The ambiance, food and staff are perfect. We took friends there for dinner and they were bowled over.

From the very warm welcome to leaving very contented the whole experience was wonderful. Each course was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxing. We shall certainly be returning.
