Great bar with a choice of 6 Real Ales. The Theskston Old Peculier and the Wainwright Amber Ale were particularly nice, as I’m told was the Guinness.

Called in Saturday. We haven't been in the pub for a long time. Just as we remembered it. Nice selection of ales, I had a lovely Theakstons Old Peculiar. Friendly pub. Lovely homemade beef sandwich.

I adore this pub. It's a proper old fashioned cask ale pub full of friendly people and friendly staff. My wife and I visit every Friday, it's something we both really look forward to after a tough week. Relax, unwind and enjoy the fabulous ales on offer. Kelly keeps a fantastic cellar and is a bright ray of sunshine behind the bar. See you there 🍺

This pub is an absulte gem. If you are tired of awful chain pubs and long for a traditional pub with great beers and a great atmosphere this is the place for you. Easily the best pub in Chester-le-Street, arguably best in County Durham. Always a great range of real ales on tap. Kelly and the rest of the staff could not be more welcoming and there is a great community of friendly regulars including myself and my husband. Highly recommended.

The best "pub" in town. Good range of beers and drinks, also good home-cooked food (certain lunch times). I love the hidden corners for quiet chats and the beer "yarden" is particularly cute. Good quiz on Tuesdays but booking advised bcos it is popular. My only gripe is ..... it's closed on Mondays. I keep forgetting🙄

My Dad always loved coming to the Butchers Arms. Now my Mum and I enjoy coming to the pub after our Thursday church service. Staff are welcoming and we’ve got to know the regulars every Thursday. I bring my Mum in a wheelchair and everyone couldn’t be more helpful. I feel very confident and comfortable going on my own. The Jack Rabbit Pinot is delicious and as someone who is gluten free, Joan and Kelly always accommodate that. My Mum will go for the steak pie. It is the only pub in Chester-le-Street with traditional charm and character. We feel part of the furniture. Rachel and Meg

This is the best real ale bar in Chester le Street. You always get a perfect pint and a good choice of ales. The food is home cooked and plentiful. The staff are brilliant and always make you feel very welcome and the customers are happy to chat with you.The quiz night and the play your cards right evenings are a good laugh. My husband and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Call in and see for yourself.

This really is a proper pub. the food is home cooked, hearty and delicious. the atmosphere is warm and convivial. However, the best reason to visit has to be the quality and choice of the cask ales on offer. there are usually six handpulls available, all dispensing excellent quality beer at a reasonable price. The Butchers really is a gem of a pub. Except on Mondays when it's closed.

On arrival we were warmly welcomed and our spaniel Ruby. A great selection of ales served at the right temperature awaited us at the bar. Even Ruby received bowl of doggie treats. The wholesome home cooked menu had a plethora of tasty options for our palates which made our choosing difficult. I had the liver and onions complete with a dumpling on request which really hit the spot. Thank you to the staff for making the start of our holiday so enjoyable.

First time here celebrating our mother's birthday. Food was fabulous, service was excellent and the decor was wonderful. The prices are extremely competitive and great value for money. A daily set menu was available, 2 course for £15 or 3 course for £21. You can pay £3 to upgrade to the salmon dish which I would highly recommend. £5 to upgrade to the steak which I will do next time. All round an exceptional dining experience. Regards Richard
