The Butchers Arms in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Good food and banter landlord top man

Landlord is this places only downside proper killjoy

Went to eat in the evening around 19:30, stood in the bar area at the front waiting to be served for approx 10mins whilst all the locals got served around us first to then be told they had no tables. We could see at least two empty tables. There was no easy car parking and the car park we found down the street was rough standing with large potholes. Felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome.

Pub got a lot of character. Well worth a visit.

Great pub with a great beer selection and welcoming host.

Just moved to the area so went in for a mixed grill and a couple of Guinness and all first class.

A good choice of Good home cooked food at a reasonable price. We will be back.

I've have had to put one star but it does not deserve one star, the landlord was miserable and made me feel uncomfortable.

Felt very unwelcome, landlord was very miserable

Great choice of local real ales,tried 3 and all were excellent.Black pudding burger was also top drawer and the young ladies serving were very polite and efficient.

Always a great selection of beers and a friendly atmosphere, the food is top notch and very reasonably priced. Their Sunday roast is brilliant, generous portions and the best yorkshires I've had in a long while, just remember to book in advance! ;) This place is a real pillar of the community and I'm grateful pubs like this are still around.

Lovely pub, service was quick, beer was excellent, toilets were clean.

This is a fantastic little pub, and we’ve never had a bad meal there. Mark the landlord and his staff always make you welcome and the atmosphere is great.

Nice pub very friendly and some nice ales will vist again when the next bike rally comes up

Lovely old little boozer. Only had a few pints Guinness. Nice pint at a reasonable price.

Great local on the doorstep, from the wide variety of drinks available, the food and the warm and friendly atmosphere

We’ve started to drop in on my nightly dog walk to try and socialise the pups. Always receive a friendly welcome. Food came highly recommended from other locals too and we can vouch for that too with great themed nights and friday nights supporting alternative local street food suppliers.

Mark does a great job of running the pub and the food is top notch. Friendly place for a drink.

Great pub with fantastic landlord. Will be returning.

Lovely drink great welcoming atmosphere had Street food stall outside will definitely return

A very unusual little pub, as I entered it was in total darkness so I thought it was closed. The bar staff were very friendly but the layout and seating did not encourage anyone to socialise

Used this place to meet up with a group of friends who were travelling from all over. We didn't eat but sat and had drinks for a good few hours. It was quiet but the staff were good and it was nice and warm.

Fantastic place, great selection of beers and lovely food

Thursday Burger Night - with free pint/glass of wine with a burger. I had the Cajun Chicken Burger which was excellent. My wife opted for the 12oz sirloin steak from themain menu, which in her words was "cooked to perfection". Beer is always spot on. Very helpful staff. Highly recommended - what are you waiting for? Tip: phone ahead to book a table.

We had the Sunday Roast. Lovely tasty generous portion of beef. The nicest yorkshire pudding I have ever had. The dinner was beautifully presented & there were plenty of roasties, new potatoes & veg. They even bring you a gravy boat. Well worth the money. Fantastic 👏👏🌟🌟🌟

A very well known & respected pub in the North Staffs/South Cheshire area, first time visiting. Definitely the hub of the Village it was packed out. Staff are a bit of fun. Will definitely revisit when they have a beer festival on & the pizza's look excellent!

Lovely friendly place. Never been before but made fell welcome by the locals. Reasonable priced drinks.

Was not very busy. But the staff were friendly and chatty. I've been told they do nice food. Will have to visit again.

It's quite nice, food is ok but my burger was overwhelmed with sauce

Lovely pub, if you're on two wheels pop in as the pub is bike friendly. If riding in group call ahead and he will have some nibbles waiting for your group, and will make extra space for the bikes.

Lovely little pub with a beautiful beer garden and good beer

Visited for Sunday lunch. Lovely home cooked food and excellent value for money at £14.95 for 3 courses. Will definitely be back 5*

Superb Pub! Good Ale & if you are lucky enough to get a table on Thursday’s Burger Night or Sunday Lunch, lovely food! As a fan of real ale, they always have a really good selection that changes weekly. Mark and his team run a great pub which consistently delivers week after week, whether that’s a bite to eat or a few drinks with family and friends!

Great venue, nice pub food nice atmosphere

Great Sunday lunch had by adults and children alike. Really pleasant staff

Great variety of drinks outstanding food and a brilliant landlord who makes you feel welcome.

Great pub, great beers, friendly publican... what's not to enjoy!

"What's the vegetarian option please?" "We can't serve vegetarians" (Sunday 15 01 2023, 12.30, lady taking orders at the bar). I think it may still be 1973 in this pub.

Lovely pub friends 60th last night staff was lovely. The regulars was very friendly to. Great night. 👍

Went for a quick pint before an Indian and thought the atmosphere was great, prices were good and an overall good experience.

Didn't spend much time here, but was ok. I didn't particularly like the brew's on offer. But the pub is ok

My local! Friendly staff, great selection of beers and fantastic food!

Best Su day Dinner for miles gorgeous pub also highly recommend

Really friendly owner, great sense of humour and a really genuine lovely bloke who earnt my respect with how he looked out for my dad during a very difficult time. The staff are nice too and the pub has a real cosy feel to it. My kinda place and my kinda people. Lovely food done here too on certain days! Well recommended.

Nice pub. Good beer. Will definitely visit again.

Good beers. Nice clean beer garden. The only thing that spoiled it was they put loud music on 12 mid-day.

Never any trouble landlord spot on great food relaxing old pub and a great pint of whatever you have

Never been before great pub and a nice pint of beer 🍺

Stopped at this great pub whilst walking Two Saints away. Had a lovely Sunday lunch. Food was spot on, beer good, staff really nice. A proper boozer. 😃

Good beer, good food, good atmosphere. What more could you ask for. Beer garden is good too, with a small play area for the kids.

Gorgeous food and a warm welcome. Friendly atmosphere and a warm open fire. Traditional pub with plenty of local Traditional beers. We'll worth a visit.

The staff at the butchers Arms very friendly and ensuring that everybody is covid-19 safe

Just like to leave a great review on here, I went out for the “Beer and Burger” night and I had the special Harissa Burger and it was amazing. I would highly recommend this and also the beer as well which always goes down well as much as the warm welcome we always receive as well.

This is my local pub, great food, whether you want a beautiful sunday roast, burger night, pies, fish and chips, never a disappointment. A real ale pub, enjoying my favourite plum porter as well as other guest ales, always a warm welcome! Open fires in winter, lovely beer garden in the summer. Supporter of charity, supporting local causes and during lockdown supporting the community and the vulnerable. Everyone is welcome, and strangers become friends, we’re so lucky that pubs like this still exist!

Not very welcoming got stared at and what I assume were regulars stood by our table waiting for us to leave as we were at their table. Felt like we were not meant to be there. Left after 1 drink

Nice pub with good selection of hand pull ale and friendly staff, we often call after our local band practice and always assured of a warm welcome and inexpensive beer !!

Lovely food, lovely log fire in back lounge, delicious beers etc., and delightful staff. Thought the choice of 1,2, or 3 courses was great, a good mix and match. Will definitely be going again with friends

Cozy friendly family pub . Food always good .

1st time going for burger night last nigh and the food was absolutely beautiful and staff are really pleasant. Alway a warm and friendly atmosphere and would definitely recommend to friends and family for great food and a chilled out atmosphere for a drink.

Fabulous food, Great Beer selection,super village pub, done a great job of turning around a pub in trying time's ,Well done .

Lovely Sunday roast and the plum porter is spot on 👍

Lovely staff ,food good ,nice little pub..

Brilliant night with great company 😀. Then again, I would say that, I am a local villager, and have visited the Butchers on and off since 1989. We have got a very good landlord back again in Mark. Keep up the good work matey 👍

Food was amazing and good service

Wonderful atmosphere, very friendly staff and good selection of drinks

Very inviting atmosphere, friendly staff.

Food was amazing! Nice home cooked food. Great service and staff were all lovely. Highly recommended

Such an incredible place: great outdoor seating area, warm and friendly vibe, the staff were amazing and the food was fabulous. Oh, and great ales. Lots of great ales. 🙌🙌🙌

Ripped the charm and character out of the place. Was on CAMRAs national inventory of interiors, special and distinctive appearance. Makeover looks generic and off the shelf, you could be anywhere.

The food was absolutely lovely good prices and the drinks were a good price.would recommend

First class service from a great pub.

Really good local pub Didn't have food but it looked really good No complaints and recommend

Fantastic meal food was perfect enjoyable evening friendly staff, definitely recommend

A good selection of beers, great home cooked food, friendly staff.

Found this place on the off-chance when our usual watering hole in this direction was closed for food. A fortunate find as the food, though nothing out of the ordinary is of high quality, beautifully cooked and very nicely presented.

Wonderful real ales, lovely food and very friendly, plus decor done to a high standard.

Food is fantastic..and service with a smile..keep up the good work lads 👌

I have not been there - only walked past on my way to somewhere more interesting.

Lovely food, wear something warm its always cold in the Conservatory.

Lived in the area for 30 years never visited the Butchers before. We met some friends there 30 Oct. We could meet friends as we were tier 1. Really surprised excellant quality food at very good prices. Friendly welcome and good service. Definitely will visit again.

A fantastic pub, lovely staff, superb food. Ate here with a friend the food was perfect, so good that we will be returning to the pub for dinner and to explore the local area more. My friends steak and my fish was excellent, very tasty, great chips. A little gem of a place, the owner made us feel very welcome many thanks for your great service! 10/10*

First time I have been here since the new owners have taken over...What a difference!! Excellent food, lovely atmosphere., friendly and made very welcome, will definitely be visiting again.

Great place great staff really helpful. Food excellent

A really welcoming pub, excellent food and the best pint of Plum Porter around. Only moved to the area 6 months ago and we're already greeted like old friends and always given wonderful service. Also, do yourself a favour and try the chicken wings, life-changingly good.

Warm welcome and Friendly atmosphere good food.

Great atmosphere, no aggravation and a good selection of drinks.

Would have been 5star, had it not been for the awful and loud music. Mark and the Girls are above that on the full 5stars.

Always used to go here when I was younger.

Serving really good food. A very friendly old style pub.

Fantastic steak pie. Very quiet, but it was a January Thursday lunchtime. Would be more welcoming if the fire was lit and it was warm inside.

Amazing! Cosy little countryside pub in the heart of Audley, lovely traditional pub food, open fire, great ales and warm welcoming staff! Highly recommended from myself and my family! 🍻

Lot better now calling in more now ☺️

Open fires, relaxing atmosphere, lovely chap who owns it, friendly staff and bloomin good food!!! What more could you wish for. Fish and chips is the best I've eaten. Ever xx

Staff very friendly and helpful. Food good and very reasonable price. Lovely cosy room with log fire. Definitely go again

Lovely place, homely and comfy, friendly staff great food reasonable prices. Will definitely be returning.

Excellent service and an up and coming place for a night out. The food is spot on along with the guest ales which are very reasonably priced, so we'll definitely be going back for a visit. The current owners have put their all into making this pub a success and it's just what Audley needs in a family friendly pub THANKYOU

Today was the first Sunday Lunch opening, with Mark and Kevin. Table for four with an excellent two course meal.

Love the new refurb, great atmosphere, great beer friendly staff. Great local pub!

Recently been reopened and will be serving food again shortly ,friendly staff ,Good choice of beers and spirits, well worth a visit

Lovely environment, very friendly staff, extremely comfortable
