Just returned home from a visit to The Butcher's Arms for Sunday lunch. The food was very nice, but the welcome from the Landlord not nice at all. When my husband & myself arrived there wasn't any staff around to show us which table we were to be sitting at. I walked up to the bar, which was next to the restaurant & the landlord was sitting at the bar. No hello or anything from him, he pointed to my little dog & said "He's not going in the restaurant!!! ). I replied to him that we had no intention of eating in the restaurant, we did indeed have a table booked in the bar area. No word of sorry from him, just a smug grin of embarrassment. The food & staff were very good. Shame about the frosty welcome.

We visited the butchers arms for a family Sunday roast today and had the worst experience. The roast was pretty much inedible the “roast sirloin of beef” was grey and cold! The veg was wilted and undercooked. The roast potatoes were grease filled and over cooked! Yorkshire pudding was not homemade when we complained to the manager he was nothing more then aggressive and rude! He suggested that this was not the establishment for us?!? He refused to refund us and his bar maids were disgustingly rude and were laughing at me and when I tried to explain that none of us had eaten our dinner. We spent £120 on food and I have never been so insulted in my life and when he finally agreed to give me a refund he threw the money at me! Put it this way I will not be returning. Leaving this post to warn others of the terrible roast at the butchers arms and the horrific customer service! What ever happened to the customer is always right.

1st visit for Sunday lunch, waiting staff lovely, service quick, eating area in pub was nice. Food was awful, we had beef Sunday roast abd nut roast Sunday roast. Meat was full of fat and very chewy, roast pototes very dry, cold and tasteless. Nut roast was very dry and pototes dry, cold. A lot of the food tasted as it has been microwaved. It's a shame this is the 1st time we have visited and definetely will be the last visit. We skipped dessert due to the poor mains, did not want to take the risk. It's a shame as the waiting staff are lovely.

We stopped here for a business lunch and had an enjoyable meal. If you’re sitting outside, there’s a good view plus donkeys to say hello to. The service was decent & food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Shame they were missing several items on the menu when we visited. Just check if you’re coming here for a meal, as I don’t believe lunch is served every day.

Friendly staff and sweet country pub but very average food. I really wanted to enjoy the food as the staff were pleasant and helpful, but the Sunday roast was really not great, shop bought Yorkshire puddings, packet crackling, over cooked dry slices of pork, the sprouts were good though. I had whitebait to start which was so over fried in thick batter that it was almost soggy. Such a shame, hopefully it was just an off day.

I went to The Butchers Arms yesterday with my sister and brother in law for lunch. The food was absolutely fantastic. Our meals were the steak, fish and chips, and the sausages with mash. The steak was so flavoursome and the onion rings to die for. The chips were also perfectly cooked. The food was piping hot and truly delicious. I’m definitely going back. The waitress was lovely and it was a really nice outing - great food and great service.

I had carrot and coriander soup that came with crusty bread, but they had run out of the bread, so I received an extra dollop of soup. The soup was better than has been described in a previous review, but it wasnt top draw, all rather average. My partner had a prawn sandwich that unfortunately had been left out for too long and the top slice had gone dry and hard.

I know people that have visited this pub and all of them have said how nice it is and has good traditional pub grub. So today myself with hubby and sister in law and her hubby went to find out for ourselves. The pub is in a nice countryside location not far from the village of Barnston or Chelmsford. A nice bright and airy interior and friendly staff to greet you. The food was excellent, I can recommend their Roast Beef with all the trimmings, same goes for the Roast Lamb, in fact our meals were all tasty and plenty of it, reasonably priced. Unfortunately this visit we didn't get to try the desserts as we were full, so next time will forego a starter in favour of a desert I think. There is plenty of seating both in and outside and a good play area for youngster as well. This will be on our list of pubs to take friends and family to, and would recommend it for sure.

I bravely chose the soup of the day for my lunch with friends. It was carrot and coriander. This is not a tricky soup to make. If the worst comes to the worst you can rip open a Covent Garden version, heat it up, and swirl in a blob of cream. Job done. The soup I had managed to fail on all 3 counts. It didn’t taste of carrot or coriander, and most certainly wasn’t soup but a kind of gloopy orange porridge. The accompanying bread was the best part. Also, after only one spoonful of the turgid mess, the bottom of the bowl was visible. It was gloop in a tea cup.

Why is it when we find a great pub it's a few miles away from home? I would love a local like this as we would spend a lot of time there. The landlord and landlady are very welcoming and friendly. After our meal we had coffee in the bar and they and the locals chatted to us. This place is half an hour away from us but we will make the effort to go when we can. Apparently the Sunday roast is very good so that will be our next visit. Our first visit was the Saturday before mothers day for lunch. We really enjoyed the food which was well cooked and plentiful. One course was enough really but the puddings are to nice to miss. I had the steak and kidney pud with lemon sorbet to finish and hubby had the steak with fruit crumble to finish. All were excellent and very filling. Di, the waitress, deserves a mention as she was helpful, enthusiastic and enhanced the pubs atmosphere

Was passing and decided to call in as we were feeling a bit hungry. It was last Sunday so had the roast dinner. We both had the beef, it was cooked perfect. loads of veg, all cooked good, 2 Yorkshires they could have been crisped up a bit more, plenty of tasty gravy. Deserts were the crumble, very pleasing. All the meals were of a plentiful size. See other meals passing while seated, they all looked very appetizing and the fish and chips is going to be our next meal as it caught my eyes.

We've been local to this pub for many years but haven't been in very often in the past few years since there have been several change of ownership. Went in this evening for an impromptu dinner and what a treat.

First time my husband and I have tried here for food. Came here to celebrate my mother and father in laws birthdays. Made to feel welcomed by friendly staff. Very relaxing atmosphere. Food fantastic. We will definitely return and highly recommend as a visit.

We stopped for ‘a sandwich’ but ended up with a proper lunch. Don’t miss the larger rear carpark, with a turning just before the pub, on the left, if coming from the south (Chelmsford). The main car park at the front is small.

Our party of 7 booking for a family get together for Saturday lunch was made having first read other reviews and visiting the Butchers Arms website to look at the menu.

Had a few drinks here after a funeral at the Old Meadow Burial ground, just a few mins walk away. Really nice old pub, apparently over 600 years old. Good range of beers, and nice friendly service, although our funeral party was literally the only people in the place

Tried this pub for lunch after dropping off my sister at Stansted airport. Good parking and looks to have been recently refurbished. Nice friendly staff, clean toilets, good atmosphere, great views and would be lovely In the summer as there was a beer garden and separate play area for children. We chose from the menu of the day, having different starters and main but the same dessert. We rate the food, service and value 5 star (cannot get to rate it below) Beautifully presented meals, large portions and we will definitely be going back now we have found this little gem.
