The Butchers Arms in North Somerset

If you're looking for a classic pub experience in Yaton, this is the place to be. It’s the most traditional pub I’ve ever visited, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely scrumptious—freshly cooked and packed with flavor. The staff were incredibly friendly, making the visit even more enjoyable, and the local patrons were equally kind and inviting. It’s a lovely spot with honest prices, perfect for a cozy meal or just to soak in the authentic pub vibe. Highly recommended!

Love having this amazing pub on our doorstep, Caz and Tonk have done a brilliant job over the years to build this pub into a hub of the community. Just had a wonderful meal this evening and having been at the Savoy in London on Wednesday (Xmas present) lovely as it was, I'd much rather eat at the butchers, the chef is a genius 💜

Lovely, friendly staff. We sat out in the sun in the back garden, which was nice and peaceful, and ate our Sunday roast. Food was fine: roast potatoes were exceptional, beef was fine, but boiled vegetables were blegh.

Had a meal here last night. Homemade chicken and leeke pie . I had the scampi staff where so pleasant food was amazing .We stayed at the hilton treetop hotel up the road and decided to book here for a evening meal .Thankyou once again I would highly recommend.

Took a sandwitch....just to eat something small. Well it wasnt😁. Excellent and filling. Thank you and will come again😊

Incredible best pub in yatton, food is amazing huge portions, home cooked, good quality and fair prices. Cas is so friendly and welcoming, as are all the staff. Lovely proper pub. Really recommend. Nice garden in summer too.

Just popped in for a quick drink

Lovely family meal for my birthday this evening - everyone enjoyed it & can’t wait to return! Thank you again :)

amazing food. unbelievable steak. best pub grub i’ve had and their warm accommodation for gluten free options was fantastic. Especially as it’s a struggle to eat out for me as a crohns sufferer. 10/10

We visited here with friends and enjoyed the good traditional pub food on offer. It was well presented, well cooked and and very good value. The customer service was excellent - attentive, efficient and always with a big smile. We’ve been here a few times recently and the experience has been consistently excellent.

Had steak and chips and the steak was so burnt you could use it as charcoal, the chips looked like they didn’t see the fryer. When I complained the staff was very defensive and was told what do I expect for the price.. well I was hoping for edible food. Did not feel comfortable during our long wait for food either.

We’d booked for a family meal but were abruptly told when we sat down that a mistake had been made and the kitchen was in fact intended to be closed. The member of staff serving us emphasised she had been made to come in especially to accommodate us for two hours (making us feel guilty/as if it was our fault). We were told several items weren’t available and we were happy to be flexible. The food was nice but the brisk reception was a mood killer. It would have been better to call us to tell us that a mistake had been made, so we could have made other plans and avoided the bad vibes.

Visited today with elderly grandmother and new baby and although the entrance proved slightly challenging for wheelchairs/pushchairs we received help from friendly locals on the way in and out. Staff were attentive and polite, orders taken quickly and food served promptly and hot. All 3 had Sunday roasts which were generous and tasty with a 2 pint gravy boat and seasonal trimmings. Couldn’t fault it! Washed down with a couple of tasty morreti’s. Would recommend and will definitely be returning!

Food was really good also very tasty. The ladies behind the bar were very helpful and friendly.

OK, so no food unless you're a FreeMason and the beer is only fit for vinegar on the chips you're not having as the kitchen's closed, unbievable!

My partner and my favourite Yatton pub. Great service, super food and sitting outside is lovely

Friendly staff and a great welcoming as a new comer will defo visit again

My partner and I were in the area and googled pubs and decided on this one, we were not disappointed. I had a “small” lasagne, salad and garlic bread, my partner had “small” pie, mash and peas, I say small because the portions were huge! So tasty, proper home cooked food. The two ladies serving were very welcoming and friendly, I also thought the cost of the drinks was very reasonable, we will be back, thank you

Great village pub in an historic old building. Parking is down the road with a difficult walk down side of main road.

Sadly we were really disappointed. Staff were nice and friendly but out of 3 meals only one was OK. Steak wasn't cooked properly or evenly and was very fatty. Fish and chips - soggy batter and not cooked properly. I know you get bones in fish but first cut into the fish there were 4 large bones so that coupled with soggy batter and undercooking the meal was left. The chips were dry and think they'd been cooked then kept warm in the oven. Draught cider was also flat and tasteless. Flagged issue with fish meal was told it would be flagged with the chef. Not convinced the 4 star food and hygiene rating would stand if the FSA visited today!

We came fo stay with our daughter and her husband for a long weekend. They had booked us in for a meal Thursday evening. The steak and ale pie was the best I had ever eaten . We were so impressed with the food we booked Sunday lunch - couldnt fault the meal. Again amazing ! We will definitely be back !! Thank you.

Wanted a traditional village pub Sunday lunch and found this place by chance. Doesn’t look much from the road but the setting inside is great, the owners very very welcoming and the lunch was superb , fresh and home cooked. There is a small car park just past the pub near the church and you do take your life in your hands walking along the busy road to get to it.. well worth it though.

Great place to spend an evening! I enjoyed myself and food was good.

Great friendly pub. Who doesn't love a proper pub.

Love this place! Great food, great atmosphere, great hosts.

Wonderful customer service. Food was stunning and nice quiet area to talk with family. I would highly recommend to all who want an authentic experience and nice time. Friendly atmosphere too

The Butchers Arms is great. Good food, good atmosphere, and the dog is welcome too.

Really great food and very warm and welcoming staff. Will definitely be back!

My first visit. Really nice inside. Ok from outside, but so good inside. Good atmosphere, nice food. The carpark is a short walk, but no bother. We were well looked after by the pleasant staff. We will return.

As soon as you enter, you are warmly welcomed in to this lovely, historic pub and immediately feel at home. Myself, my mum and Auntie were booked for Sunday lunch which was absolutely top notch, beautifully cooked Beef, with proper potatoes, Veg and big Yorkshire pudding, afters of Strawberry cheesecake was equally as good. Lovely atmosphere, fantastic staff who made sure we were looked after in this comfortable, traditional pub. We were shown the secret garden which is ideal for get together or chilling with friends and family, looking forward to returning. Big thanks to all at the Butchers for a lovely time, Daz

Amazing place, friendly people, and the food is to die for! Literally the best steak I have ever had! And nothing was to much for the guy that was serving us, told us about the place and always making sure we had what we needed. Will be making this my new regular for sure.

Not a great experience.... Heard really great things about this place, especially the food so decided to try it as it's on our doorstep pretty much. Phoned up to book a table for two, they fitted us in fine..... Got there at allocated time, absolutely ZERO organisation and were shown to a small dirty table with 1 chair, said chair was broken and very dangerous, so I fixed it myself. We both ordered Rare steak and waited approx 40 minutes for them, steak arrived medium rare with a stack of oily mushrooms on top... The steaks had a layer of char on them and was were horrible.... This wasn't the char cooked into the steak by the way, as I could remove it in bits from the top, it was char stuck to it from previous cooks on the griddle..... The whole thing left a horrible taste in our mouths. I went to say we wouldn't be eating them and the "cook" then gets very defensive and says "that's how they're supposed to be".... not being funny, but I know how to cook a steak and clean a griddle.... After saying its clearly the griddle being dirty, she then back tracks and says "actually, yeah, the griddle has taken a beating this evening"..... Fair play to the lady owner though, she comped our drinks with no fuss, even after I offered to pay for them.... I sincerely hope they get another top class chef through the doors and soon, as they'll not get very far with this particular "chef/cook".... We will give it another try when and if they get a great chef, but unfortunately not before. Sorry for the negative review, but I have to tell it like it is.... and people should also be made aware that the previous chef has now left and the food is nowhere near what it was....

Chef leaving has made a HUGE difference. Steaks were cooked on a dirty griddle pan as even after two bites, an hour later I can taste the burnt char at the back of my mouth.... The lady that cooked it was very defensive when I complained and was told that it should taste like that as its a steak cooked on a griddle...... Not being funny, but I can cook a steak and it sure as s##t doesn't have the remnants of the previous 20 steaks cooked in the same pan attached to it! The lady behind the bar was very apologetic and even comped the drinks for us, which was nice of her, even after I offered to pay for them.... Nice pub, but the food experience was not a great one at all I'm afraid to say....

Outstanding pub grub for a decent price. Recently renovated. Stunning beer garden

Quaint village pub. Amazing outdoor area. Lovely place to spend the afternoon on a hot weekend.

Great food and ale. The Landlord is a perfect host as well. Therefore it's a strong recommendation

We went in to watch the Euros Final, having recently moved in to Yatton. Very friendly staff and punters, a great afternoon in a lovely friendly Pub.

Excelente pub. El dueño y todo el personal fue muy amable y nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Volveremos. 😊

We had a lovely experience. Very nice people, good service and beautiful place. We will go back but won't talk about the 86 world cup hahaha

Food is always tasty and the staff are always friendly and talkative. Great pub to have in the village.

Went on Weds evening after too long away. From the outset, the warmest of welcomes and offers of different places to sit; in the bar, the garden or the amazing pods. Ordered the special - whole chicken with chips, rice and salad, though we diched the salad with a choices of glaze. Opted for the herb and garlic which didn't disappoint. Very filling, lovely food and the staff kept popping up to see we were ok. Excellent price at £20 for the meal and it would have fed a family of four easily. Delicious food, lovely welcome and great location, we will be back!

A great pub that gets me away from the hotel. The staff are friendly the beer (Fallen Tree) is great and the food (Steak Night) was so well cooked (medium rare) and very tasty.. Highly recommended and I look forward to my next visit.

Great Cornish lager Korev. Nice pint of water for the pouches.

Had a most enjoyable tradional Sunday roast today. Great food, good portion sizes and friendly landlords. Wish it was my local!

We phoned on a rainy Sunday afternoon and we're accomdated in the dining room. The owner greeted us, was very pleasant and interested in us. We ordered Sunday dinner, 2 roast beef and 1 roast Pork. All of the meals were superb. Home cooked food piping hot, great quality ingredients. Would definately recommend, and would visit again.

Fantastic meal had by all! Me and my family were visiting the area, we are so pleased we stopped here for dinner, compliments to the chef, my steak was perfect! And the home made chips were the best I’d had! (Sorry mum) the host makes you feel very welcome, it’s just how a pub should be! We will be back!

Had an excellent Sunday roast lunch. Perfectly prepared, with generous portion and lots of crackling. Veg cooked to perfection...not overcooked or soggy. Warm pleasant vibe, and friendly service.

Sixteen of our club went to The Butchers Arms last night for the steak night, we all thought what a fantastic night. the steak and the wine was excellent and the service outstanding. we all enjoyed so much we're looking forward to returning to try something else. The landlord and staff could not have done anything else to make it any better. I don't know how they can do the steak night deal at that price, it's outstanding.

Great service nice value meals massive area outside at the back some under cover, do a good Sunday roast

Went for steak night, I had medium well and the wife had medium. Both cooked as we liked. Meal had a drink included. Service great. Felt a bit odd eating a steak without a steak knife. A Great meal.

Excellent. Good food at reasonable prices. Very welcoming landlord/Lady. Excellent garden facilities for social events.

Outstanding food! Honestly one of the best roasts I've ever had. Steak night is also incredible. Warm friendly greetings every time. Interior is warm, cozy, traditional pub vibe. Outside is a little yard with comfy sheds kitted out with tvs, stoves, etc. I'm always so proud to recommend this pub it's a true jewel of Yatton.

Always good, and the food is great

The Butcher's is always such a welcoming pub; friendly, down-to-earth and good-humoured. Today we ate there too, and I can honestly say that the value for money was exceptional. We had the best cod and chips EVER, alongside the tastiest homemade tartare sauce, which added to the overall complement of flavours. The white chocolate and pistachio cheesecake was the perfect dessert for me. My husband shared a similar sentiment with his sticky toffee pudding. Seriously, you won't be disappointed. Tonks, Caz and staff are tip top!

A wonderful welcome from the host and a great choice on the menu. The food was superb with specials updated regularly (we'll have to go back to sample more). I had the ox cheek shepherds pie tonight and it was delicious! Plus, the toffee sponge pudding was divine! We were made to feel really welcome amd were even offered a lift back at the end of our night! We'll definitely be back when we're here next. You have to go!

Staying in the Hilton but wanted a different atmosphere, less pretentious food and better prices! We could not have asked for more! From the moment we walked through the door we were made to feel welcome. We were shown to our table and seated immediately- no waiting at all. Tonks and team looked after us from start to finish (even offering a lift back to the hotel!) The food was superb; high quality ingredients, freshly cooked and served promptly, despite the pub being busy. Tonks made time to chat, ensured our glasses were never empty and kept us entertained. We will be sure to return and will recommend to all who will listen!!

What a little gem of a pub and the food was fantastic as well. Tonks was a great host I would recommend this pub to anyone looking for great food and a great atmosphere will be back time and time again. Cheers

Exceptional Sunday roast. Veg cooked to perfection, crisp roast potatoes and tender chicken. Great friendly service. Highly recommended!

So friendly, cosy and the most beautiful food! An absolute treasure of Yatton and Somerset.

Lovely friendly pub, great food

Friendly atmosphere, excellent food.

Friendliest family pub I’ve ever been too, food was fabulous and amazing value for money.

We were visiting relatives in Yatton and went for lunch here. What a great pub, the Landlord was very welcoming and attentive, the roast beef and vegetables were tasty, well presented and delicious. It was cosy and warm with a friendly atmosphere and we will be going back. They also cater for people with Coeliac disease, gluten free.

Lovely cosy pub with open fire very welcoming. Food looks good too 😋

Good food at a great price and to be fair the toilet were very clean.

The food is good, beer good and working very hard to provide a pleasant space for outdoor dining with individual stables warmed by wood burning stoves, very cosy for winter and great for those of us still isolating.

Friendly landlord. Welcomed and chatted to us at table we had booked for an evening meal. Pub had a really nice feel and all staff were very friendly. We had the 28oz tomahawk steak with tiger prawns. This was probably the best steak I had in my life, no joke. Also all the sides were perfect. Highly recommended if you are in the area. Thank you The Butchers Arms

GreaT little pub. Wish it was on my doorstep ......

Great proper pub, good beers, does food, pleasant area to sit outside at the back, which also has wooden cabins with comfy chairs and heating for those that want to sit "inside", but away from too many other people. Definitely a pub to keep revisiting.

Really nice food and excellent hosts

Absolutely amazing food 10/10⭐, drinks were perfect. Great service and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere + great outdoor seating and cover outdoor seating. Clean facilities.

Met some mates and sat in the outside area. Amazing beer. Good pub grub. Friendly staff. What more do you want? Highly recommended for a traditional pub

We visited The Butchers Arms after appalling service at a nearby celebrity chef restaurant the previous evening.The welcome was warm & friendly, choice of indoor seating or outdoor seating in the garden or pods, we chose to eat outside..Food was fresh and very good value, we enjoyed our evening here.

Fantastic pub. We popped in to watch England in the Euros and had a lovely time. The landlord was really friendly and welcoming, good range of drinks, friendly locals too and they gave out hotdogs at half time. Definitely recommend.

We visited the Butchers Arms for what is probably our 2nd time out without the children and its was wonderful. The food was just beautiful, the garden a sun trap and the staff really friendly.

4☆ plus. Grt welcome, Ale choice & food. Homemade burger & chips, with guerkin 9/10. If in that area will defo return. Near the fabulous Falconry centre

Great local pub, fab range of beers.

Lovey set up. Lovey food had a wonderful time!

First visit to a pub! Great tapas and very friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Felt very safe. 👍

Great 6-seater 'sheds' with heaters in the garden so you can meet friends, and staff working really hard to ferry food and drinks out to you. They've tried so hard to support the village through covid so please go along and support them back (before we're all back under house arrest after Xmas!).

Brilliant little shed for our small group good food

Beer is excellent, service is to be commended, food very good, outdoor sitting area the best for small cosy groups

Lovely food, cracking pint of beer

Good well cooked food at a very good price. Cass Always cheerful. Great place to go for lunch with plenty of room.

visited this pub last August , midday on a Sat, stood at bar for 15 minutes, left as no service - this is still true no matter what your opinion was - we were house hunting in somerset at the time - no on came to the bar for 15 minutes at all so we left - only found you as i was wandering around on google maps of the local area and thought where was that pub we left after no one served us

Excellent Sunday lunch. Pods in the garden are a genius idea and really work! Great local pub well worth a visit.

First class pub & eatery with atmosphere & welcoming staff..looking forward to it being open again..

Always brilliant when open before Corona can’t wait to enjoy food drinks and company again Well done the Butchers team

Every village locally should have a proper pub like this. Congresbury has a couple, The Plough and The Old Inn but then as you head towards Bristol there are just none that compare except the Angel at Long Ashton. Backwell is especially poorly served where only the club saves the day.

Incredible atmosphere, wonderful food and amazing people!! Made friends for life. Hope to visit again!

Tonka & Cass are brilliant! Cozy & friendly atmosphere - great food — good people — thank you — cheers!

This place is awesome great dinner, drinks and people. You walk in as family. Lots oh history of place!

Great pub. Food is very good, and they cater for gluten free. The pies never disappoint, and the beers/wines are fairly spot on. It attracts a really decent crowd, which I reckon is down to the landlords and staff who are second to none, very nice folk altogether.

Great food and service, the least expensive food in the area, a simple menu but good.

Great staff, great atmosphere and very well kept beer and cider. Got to say possibly the best pub I've found by random luck

Dropped in for Sunday lunch. Excellent roast with all the trimmings. Lovely desserts. Very friendly staff, good choice of beers. No pressure to rush through your meal. Well worth a visit.

This is a real ‘local’ pub in the heart of a great community, who certainly welcome us ‘blow ins’ with open arms! The ales are well managed so an excellent pint and the food is excellent, well priced and certainly a wider variety on the menu. The hand cut chips are the star!! If you are staying in Cadbury House, it is around a 10 minute walk, and worth it. We will be back!

Many of the people are lovely can add wiz seb and menn

Good to have a real ale traditional pub in the old part of the village. Nice feeling part of the community.

This is what a local pub is meant to be like. The staff and locals are open and welcoming, and the food was great. Good beer, tasty menu and reasonable prices! The chips are homemade and spot on! I wish more pubs were like this and not soulless chains.
