The Butchers Arms in East Staffordshire

Top pub great ale friendly staff

Called for Sunday lunch, really nice loads of veg

We called here on my birthday, the lady who greeted us was lovely, we were there's gonly people in there, my sister chose lasagna, I had sausage chip peas and eggs. I asked

We had been badly let down by another pub in Uttoxeter. Thankfully one of the customers, not only recommended The Butchers Arms, he also helped us by phoning and making sure we had a table booked (thank you Charlie). When we got to the pub, landlady Ange, was very welcoming and friendly, she was so sweet and helpful. Food was OK, not great, but OK, we were a party of 12 and the chef had been asked to stay back to help which was very kind. However, we wanted to say a big thank you to the pub for helping us, welcoming us so kindly and generally being decent people.

Good place for drinking and parties. Nice sitting space good food, good people. Enough parking to accommodate good crowds. Food is served generally on time. Hygiene is maintained nicely.

Ordered the double chicken stack and the chicken was fresh out of icelands freezer. Chips were boring and quite frankly incredibly disappointed. Took about 45 minutes for the food to come out and for £14 id expect a decent burger and to think they don’t even have lettuce to put on it is diabolical. Can confidently say i wont be returning.

Lovely garden to sit out on a lovely day with great food also

Biker friendly with a nice landlord Biker who offers a nice range of food and drink and Bike 🏍 meets on a Wednesday evening about 6pm. Nice bloke and place, not forgetting friendly locals and child and dog-friendly local pub.

So friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent. Big portions and very reasonably priced.Will definately be giing back.

Amazing Sunday dinner here - couldn’t fault the main at all! The dessert wasn’t great but the main more than made up for it. Good selection of ales too

Had four fantastic meals tonight very, very good, try it you will enjoy it, I am sure. A great selection of Beers with the Plum Porter being the stand-out favourite for me. Great Landlady and Lamdlord. New Kebad on the menu try it you will enjoy this with homemade chips!

Lovely afternoon meal with friends who are like family

Lovely Sunday Roast. And a nice pint too.

Went for Sunday lunch, one of the best I've had!!! The meat melted in you're mouth and the roasties ate to die for!!! I could literally drink the gravy in a cup!!! Lovely people and great service defo will be back

Hi went here last night food was excellent,beer as well thanks to ange , Jim and there staff

Unfortunately I had to echo the sentiments of a previous review: very thin, what looked like frying steaks, totally overcooked. Having eaten here a number of times before we have come to expect a lovely standard of pub food, which tonight's meal fell drastically short of. The steak itself looked like off cuts, very thin and totally overcooked. The tomato was pale orange and not grilled at all and the mushroom overcooked and flavourless. It was really just a terribly cooked meal, presented poorly. Whar was even more frustrating for me was the total lack of interest from the staff - "okay thank you" and then charging full price is really not acceptable, when both my husband and I had one bite of each food on the plate before leaving it. No apology or acknowledgement that the food was not up to scratch, despite us knowing that they can do better. Despite this being our local, we wont be back. Fortunately Parilla in Uttoxeter town centre could seat us at the last minute and we had a delicious steak meal there.

So sad to write this but this has to be one of the worst meals we have ever eaten. The restaurant had 4 people in on Wednesday evening, we made it 8. We ordered steak which was inedible - 0.5 cm thick, ordered medium rare came over cooked sent back but returned just the same. The meat was exceptionally poor quality. The pub is supposedly owned by a butcher - hence the name. Pity his customers if that is the quality of his meat. The staff were friendly although the young girl couldnt answer any questions without checking. I cannot think of anything else that is positive about the pub - we wont be back.

Great meal.nice xmas atmosphere Good Guinness

Good food , asked for coffee and after waiting 20 minutes asked where it was, to be told machine was broken, good job I asked or have still been there, no apology

Delicious Sunday lunch today, great atmosphere and brilliant staff, would definitely recommend 🥂

Delicious Sunday lunch, plenty of meat and veg and all piping hot, brilliant staff and great atmosphere would highly recommend

Fish sent back, not once but twice. Obviously poor quality fish straight from the freezer, not correctly defrosted. The first one was obviously raw and the second, well , it didn't exactly flake , but just turned to grey mush when the fork touched it. A smiling apology , anyone who really cared would be like the fish... gutted. The menu is basic...,, the food doesn't even reach that standard. Unlike Arnold Schwarzenegger, we won't be back.

Visited here with my friends and cousins for lunch. Good ambience and food, reasonably priced.

Stop serving food at 2010 food arrived20 45 booked table for 20 00hrs steak arrived more fat than meat only look warm never to there again price for 4 £118 cu not to soon

Locale molto curato. Carne di buona qualità anche se cotta un pò troppo. Buona scelta di birre artigianali.

Poor service , young staff with little customer service experience , food was terribly presented , frozen vegetables , no home made roasts . We won’t be back … I’m sure the dog will enjoy the left over meat … maybe

Lovely Sunday lunch. Started with Prawn Cocktail, followed by a full Lamb roast with all the trimmings and finished off with an Ice Cream Sundae. Great friendly service in a timely manner. Perfect! And yet another great Sunday dinner. This time Turkey! Friendly staff and good service.

Visited The Butchers Arms over the weekend with my partner. The menus available had choices which were standard from most pubs, aswell as having specials for the day. The waiting staff (which seemed to be two young girls both pleasent and welcoming) were very helpful the young girl even helped me and my partner decide what to order which was helpful and what great recommendations she gave. I had pre-read some of the reviews already on here before coming and non of which matched my overall experience, chips were homemade the service was warm, welcoming and overall great and the selection of wines and beers was huge which is always a bonus. The food arrived promptly and was delicious (i had the gammon, which was cooked perfectly and my partner had the ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce which was also cooked to perfection). This was our first time visiting The Butchers Arms but it certainly won’t be our last! I would say don’t listen to the reviews and try it for yourself.

Booked a table 3 weeks before going. When we turned up the place was almost empty. We were told they weren’t doing food because the chef was in hospital. We got no apology, even though we had booked and left a contact number. Won’t ever be going again!

Lovely friendly staff, nice food

This pub is absolutely awful . What used to be a bustling pub serving beautiful food is now a dirty pub serving inedible food . I saw who I assume the landlady using the toilets as I needed to go too . No hand wash , no toilet paper . Then she served our food . I am absolutely gutted I paid for our meal . I didn’t want to upset my son whose birthday we had gone for so didn’t cause a fuss . Needless to say we all had bad tummys that night . Never ever ever again . This place does not deserve custom from anyone . I make sure to pass this review on so that nobody else makes the same mistake we did . Please please don’t bother and save your money on somewhere that doesn’t use aunt Bessie’s microwave Sunday dinners 🤮and can at least provide hand soap ! I give you another six months before you’re done !!!

I have no idea where to start… i went to this pub when it first re opened when the new owner took it on, it was fabulous, the food was great.. the staff were always friendly and place clean. Fast foward, I visited again after always being happy with my previous visits and I was utterly dissappointed. It was like a whole new ambience, we weren’t greeted the same, staff were unfriendly and unhelpful. The food was inedible, frozen veg, wet fish.. gammon and egg was over cooked. There was no toilet roll in the toilets & they looked like they hadn’t been cleaned. It’s just disappointing to see that a pub we highly reccomended to friends and family has turned out this way.

Awful awful and awful ! Wish I had read the reviews before going here! We used to dine here and hasn’t realised it had been taken over ! The food is just awful and we should have known when we walked in on a bank holiday Monday and it was dead ! Please don’t be mugs like us! New owners , you should be ashamed serving such crap!!

Excellent local, good independent pub. Decent beer and great food, plenty of outside seating.

Watery veg. Not vegetarian selection. Not recommended.

Not the best experience, went on a Sunday, food and service left a lot to be desired. No one asked if anyone has food allergies and nothing on the menu advising about allergens, also no vegie options on the menu, we had to ask. We also don't expect frozen veg when we spend £75 on Sunday lunch and who serves gravy with gamon, at least give people the choice and put gravy in a boat on the table. Needs work to bring this up to a decent standard. Roebuck serve lovely food for less.

Went for food which wasn’t anything amazing and a bit over priced. I’m usually not fussy about glasses not being spotless, but the wine glasses looked like they hadn’t been cleaned. I will try again at some point, give them the benefit of the doubt. Revisited 28/7/23 Came for lunch and sat outside as the weather was quite nice. The food was quite nice and we were enjoying our lunch, finding a baby caterpillar next to the salad on my plate was a bit disappointing but not compared to the attitude of the management. The ladies who had served us were very friendly and polite and did what you hope for after we’d let them know what we’d found. I wasn’t expecting an refund for my meal or necessarily a discount but it would have been appreciated to have received an apology from either the chef or the manager, when what were actually got was the response that it was a consequence of sitting outside. I’d be very reluctant to eat here again and although I appreciate that the incident wasn’t the worst, the attitude of the manager was very disappointing.

Closed at 12:30pm on a Saturday. Completely unacceptable for a pub.

Good atmosphere but the food is too expensive for what it is.

Popped in for a drink with a friend.

Went as funeral get together. Perfect to socialise with family.

Well, after visiting here in February for the mother in law's birthday, and really enjoyed it we decided to visit again for a father's day Sunday lunch . A very nice welcome, drinks had a great choice, waiting on staff were nice, pleasant and efficient...... however, the food although edible, I'm sorry to say was boring, bland and tasteless. Majority of it was mass produced, aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings, bisto gravy, the bowls of vegetables consisted of, chopped carrots, broccoli,peas and mash potatoes. The broccoli and carrots looked like they had been boiled to death, soft soggy and limp. My beef was actually very nice and tender but it was about the only decent item on my plate. My pudding was sticky toffee pudding and custard, it was one of those puddings you microwave in it's own pot for 1-2 minutes and served with a lukewarm pouring of custard. My wife's chocolate brownie pudding was definitely shop bought and tasted bland and boring ( her words) . So disappointed after our previous visit, it's a pity as it's a really nice looking pub, large car park and beer garden, just a real shame about the standard of food which has dropped off so much.

Popped in on the way home. The prawn cocktail was warm and some reason sweet! Fish and chips were bland. No condiments on the table. Music to loud.

Lovely country pub, amazing food

Fabulous food excellent service

Lovely friendly pub. Only went for drinks but had a nice atmosphere and bouncy castle for kids

Went for a walk up to the Butcher's Arms for a drink with the Mrs, thought we'd have a snack and were told the kitchen might be closed a little early because they'd been so busy. Barman spoke to the chef and agreed if we got the order in quick they'd get me a dinner sorted. Ordered, the wait time was very low, food came very quickly and was very very good, highly recommend the Sunday dinner, the staff couldn't do enough for you and we're extremely welcoming and friendly. 100% would go back any time!

Yes lovely place. Nice bar staff , very friendly, good range of drinks.

Good service and friendly family pub.

Phoned up the night before to check if they served real hand cut chips was told definitely yes. When we arrived we asked again are they definitely home made chips not frozen rubbish and was told yes definitely home made. 5 adults 4 childrens meals . Only one meal came with proper chips everyone else had frozen chips we asked why to be told it was the last batch of home made chips so only had enough for one plate . The rest of the food was really nice though such a shame.

Really enjoyed the experience. Great food, cozy feel to the pub. Lovely staff. Highly recommend. Can't wait to go back.

Lovely environment the lamb was overcooked and only served Sunday lunch no other options

Top quality meal sensible prices lovely warm pleasant atmosphere and extremely excellent staff a pleasure to have a meal there totally recommend

Just popped in for a nightcap. Heard great things about the food too so will be going back to try it

Great food, with friendly and welcoming staff. Can't recommend the Buthcers Arms enough! Fantastic place

great beer, and traditional Village inn. Friendly staff

Recommended this place by the owners of a bnb we were staying at, and it was a great recommendation. The lady greeting us was lovely. She made us aware of the specials straight away which was good, and took drink orders at the same time. Menu was small, but I actually found that better as it was easier to choose from. We shared a white bait starter, and then had a Pie of the Moment off the menu, and two specials (Beef Wellington, and Scampi) for mains. All came with chips, and I was even offered more gravy without having to ask - she knew her crowd! I finished with a stick toffee pudding which was pretty big, and they accommodated my request to change the custard for vanilla ice cream. Price for all of that, plus two and a half pints, was £65. Fantastic value when we considered how good the food and service was. Without a doubt I would come back again if I the area.

Absolute gem of a place, driven past so many times but never been on, glad we did. Food was delicious the gels serving and working on were bubbly, polite and so friendly. Food was to die for as were the ales. Will be making this a regular sip off now when we are out on the bikes. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Great food, great surroundings for kids, dog friendly, what more can I say?

Great pub busy atmosphere, warm and accommodating staff. Unfortunately didn't eat but the smell from the kitchen was driving my stomach crazy.

Great beer and a very welcoming

Proper pub with really good food. Not a big menu but I would be happy with any dish on it. Great pie, great fish and chips.

Once upon a midnight dreary, my hunger grew quite weary. Ah, but then I happened upon The Butchers Arms, and my weary hunger was put to rest. The food, a masterpiece of culinary craft, was surpassed only by the service, which was truly divine. And on this special day, Mother's Day no less, they looked after us as if we were their own kin. Oh, how I shall evermore remember this night, this feast, this experience. Thank you, Butchers Arms, for a night of gastronomical delight that shall forevermore linger in my memories, like a rare and precious dream.

Had a wonderful time in the butchers arms Ange and Jim are two amazing people so welcoming And the locals made us so welcome too Food delicious must stay for. Sunday roast next time it looked delicious mmm

Fantastic food and a very warm atmosphere!

Great food , staff and atmosphere. Unfortunately only 1 disabled parking, the other had furniture on,which was very difficult as also on slope!

Lovely family meal, food was extremely good. All members of the family enjoyed it. The ale choice wasn't very good, a bit bland, considering the excellent breweries nearby.

First time in visiting the Butchers Arms, seems a very popular place for food it was very bizzy when we called one Saturday night food was excellent 4 empty plates excellent service from the waitresses and there prices are very reasonable. Will be visiting. Excellent.

Have visited this pub for many years,under different owners,and name,and this is the first time we have visited since we believe it changed hands recently. We are made welcome,and although the menu is fairly small,a good thing sometimes,there were choices that should accommodate most people. We went for lunch and we ordered chicken and chorizo pie,with chips,and I had the chiabata with fillet steak,loaded with mushrooms onion and blue cheese,with chips and a lovely salad. I have to say is was lovely,very well presented,hot and fresh,so we will definitely be back. There is plenty of room,and was fairly busy whilst we were there,and advised the food was cooked fresh and given a realistic waiting time,which was perfect.

Great food. We were chatting after we had finished eating, the waitress cleared everything from the table and started switching lights off in the resturant area, felt like we had to leave......it was 9 30 ????

Lovely pub, really friendly cosy nice atmosphere lovely quick bite to eat, super large Sandwich & chips just what we needed. Will be back again soon.

Wonderful meal and great surroundings

Food was below average and staff wanted the pub empty, my wife's steak was over cooked twice. Shall not return

Good food good beer nice environment 👍

Great selection of ales, friendly staff and the finest pork scratchings on the planet!

Starters were a little on the small side in my opinion but we're tasty. We came for the Sunday roast dinner and it was good 👍

went for Sunday lunch .Really great food cooked really well . will be going again

Had a dinner delivered a few times now, been bang on and quick delivery, very tasty and it’s a great service that the town has needed for a while. Nice to have some nutrition delivered to your doorstep.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Absolutely recommended

Great pub, good prices and nice food. Very warm atmosphere. Will go again!

Great food and good selection of real ale.

Great Village Pub, that knows how to cook a good steak.

Our first visit to the Butchets Arms. Good beer, great food, reasonably priced and helpful friendly staff. We'll be back 👍

Waitresses great quickly shown to a table. Orders taken quick and quick for food to come out. Food very nice steak done perfect and battered fish well cooked will definitely go again

A great place to enjoy a super time, lots of space outside with two coverings for shade and from rain, plus area for the sunshine people. A bouncy castle to keep the children happy in a enclosed area. Beer and lager kept in great condition and food is top notch, lovely pub in an great location. The staff and hosts are brilliant and they all make you feel welcome, once visited...twice returned.

Excellent outdoor sitting area, good choice of beers

Lovely food. Wonderful service . So friendly and absolutely brilliant with the kids

The staff were very friendly, it was very clean, children are welcome,

Arrived at the pub for a quick Friday afternoon beverage, mouth as dry a Sahara desert I thought I’ll nip in. 15 minutes I stood at the bar to no avail. Not a staff member in sight. Thirst quenched at a proper pub.

We went for something to eat not much choice of snacks

Lovely friendly little place..friendly staff and nice garden area out front...bikerdotty

Excellent food . Staff so friendly and helpful. Excellent environment.

This was an absolute delightful discovery. The Pub has changed management and is now the Butcher's Arms. Everything seems to be cooked fresh. Try the Nacho starter. It's the best I've ever had. With curry, rather than chilli. I had a special for the main and even the pies, that take 20 mins to prepare show that it's been cooked from cold and not pre-heated, in the chance it'll be sold. Our server was Tracy and she was really really good. Five stars! We're coming back for a steak night.

First time in several years, change in ownership, great atmosphere, great staff including the landlord, T-bone steak was superb, great evening, super pub, give it a try and you won't be disappointed, many thanks

New owners still trying to get organised

Lovely pub, we had a great time at the quiz night. The questions were fun and interesting, with complimentary snacks provided halfway through. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere!

Whilst the beer and the staff were both fab, the loud music and brash uncouth clientele ruined the experience

Fantastic meals here and the staff are brilliant. Will be returning.

Had a great steak at Bramshall Inn, staff were realy pleasant and the chef made it exactly to my liking and the quality was excellent and will definitely return
