The Butchers Arms in Boston

This little pub was recommended to us by the caravan site we were staying at up the road, unfortunately the kitchen had been closed down so there were no food, nice selection of cask ales 3No and watching the locals get drunk was the entertainment, local dog friendly pub.

Excellent!! We asked if it was ok to take our 3 supported people in for lunch as one is very vocal yes! And we was seated somewhere peaceful so as not to upset the guys . We had sausages mash gravy and pudding and plenty of tea ..it was tasty.. enormous serving Welcoming..normally us care workers don't have time to eat but the guys were that quiet and settled we also are and it was fabulous!!

Came here on a Sunday night as we were staying locally for the weekend. Rolled in at 6:30 only to discover we were well overdue for getting food which finished at 4pm. Expecting to settle for a drink and a ride out to a local co-op we couldn’t have been more surprised than to be offered food if we could wait. Dog friendly, fabulously accommodating given our late arrival, friendly banter to be had and the food was great too. Couldn’t be happier as a customer. Would happily drop in again.

Stumbled upon this pub looking for somewhere to have dinner as staying in the area for a few days.After driving to two pubs locally and not really getting the feeling we were getting hungry.We knew it would be a locals pub as in the middle of nowhere.We were welcomed by staff and customers that were most helpful and polite.Ordered drinks and food and played pool which was free while we waited for our dinner.After 20 minutes it had been taken to our table.We had chilli and ham, egg and chips and it was just what we wanted.Good service and good prices.Pop in if your passing and hopefully you won’t be disappointed.

Una encantadora señorita detrás del sabor de bar que ofrece antes de comprar. Sin duda, una gente de pub con mesas de billar, máquinas y TV mini. Gran ventaja es que este pub es perros. Por desgracia ya no hay comida.

nice local pub, visited whilst we were camping & cycling about the local area, does not do food but that did not matter to us, good spot to watch the world go by...

Excellent food! Excellent service 100% recommended ! The beer garden is beautiful very nice to sit out in the sunshine and enjoy a nice pint!

We have had a great meal in this pub last year and decided to do so again whilst visiting surrounding area.We weren't particularly made to feel welcome, but decided to stay for at least a drink. Service at the bar wasn't really the most engaging.We sat down and a message was passed from bar staff via another customer, to say we couldn't sit at that particular table, even though it hadn't a reserved notification.We decided to finish our drink and leave, the table however wasn't occupied whilst we we stood drinking which was annoying. Surely the bar staff should be more courteous in asking us to move and not using another customer.This cost them our custom, we decided to eat elsewhere and will not return.

Visited with family. Food was very good. Nice selection for the menu and portions very generous. Our 12 year old unable to finish Butchers Burger (normally unheard of)! Most of party of 6 had sirloins which were excellently cooked and very reasonably priced. Their weeknight meal deals look amazing. Well worth the wait as cooked to order and not from a microwave. Drinks cheaper than usual, pool table to keep teens busy. Enjoy, we will return!

We visited here again last week and tried their roast dinners definitely by far the best roast we have had in the area it took about 30 minutes but was worth the wait as all the vegetables were freshly cooked and everything was lovely we will be back for roasts a lot more frequently. Keep up the good work

Can't fault it. Fantastic food at a great price and the staff are always so happy and welcoming (which is always nice to see). Will definitely visit again soon.

Warm welcome, great traditional pub grub which is reasonably priced. Cheap beer, what more could you ask for. We will be back. Thank you team butchers :)

We've never eaten here, but my inlaws have had caravan 5 mins drive away for around 13 years and we've visited often for a few drinks. We've seen it change owners around 3 times over the years, and it still remains friendly and cosy. This is down to owners and credit to the locals who have always given us a warm welcome. (Thanks! :-)..) We were also given the free Wifi code without asking, the staff brought it to our table. This was the first time we had visited this year, the food looked very very nice, with generous portions (served 5pm-7pm), We'll be definitely trying food next time. Nice small beer garden too, 2 real ales, nice food, nice locals and free pool table too. Really nice pub, still, thankfully. Keep up the good work. A hidden gem in the Lincolnshire Fens.

Went following a recommendation for a Sunday lunch. Must have caughtvthem on the hop,the cutlery arrived in damp paper napkins, it wasn't too clean, waited 45 mins for a "roast"dinner.Pork had a quarter inch of fat all round it,beef appeared to be sliced frozen and was tough, roast potatoes weren't, neither was the parsnip, and all in all a disappointment. However, hearing other people's reports,I'll accept it was a bad time,maybe a chef was off, and I will try again. It is a nice,friendly,traditional pub,just a shame the cooking let it down on this occasion. next time,then!

Visited the Butchers Arms last night for husbands pool match. First time in the pub/restaurant and was very impressed with the food served. Had the butchers burger which was an absolute whopper. Ideal for a hearty appetite. It was served with salad and rather delicious chips. Unfortunately just could not manage them all. Will definitely be going back and cant wait to try the steak dinner. Overall service was good, prices were really reasonable and first impressions were very good.

My husband and I had the steak dinner 2 for £10.95 and I must say it was one of the best steaks we've had cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend visiting, we will certainly be going again,great service and friendly staff

We have visited here since hearing it was under new ownership and were very surprised the quality of the meals since our last visit almost a year ago has increased yes there is a longer wait but the food is definitely worth the wait nice freshly cooked food all nice and hot and the portions are huge we have visited twice in recent weeks and on both occasions the main courses beat us not leaving us space to try one of their desserts. We will be back soon I'm determined to make it to dessert

Called in on way home after hearing good reports , Refreshing change , lovely food and warm friendly atmosphere will definitely call again

Excellent food, excellent value for money. Very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Warm and friendly pub.

Recently popped in a couple of times whilst on holiday. The food is great and the best value for money we have found in the area, the only drawback is the waiting time was around 30 minutes but all the food was freshly cooked so well worth waiting for. I had the steak and ale pie which was enormous and so tender and flavoursome with new potatoes and vegetable could not find a single fault at all and my partner had the grilled chicken and she said it was lovely as well. The second visit we had ciabattas from the light bites section and they were very good and still huge portions enough to fill us.Hopefully we will return on our next visit.

Food was freshly cooked and tasted delicious. Portions were huge. Lovely, friendly atmosphere. Great afternoon had by the whole family.

Hadn't been in since changed hands, always a little wary, but should not have been, good simple pub food menu, the burger is great and huge, as are all meals. Food is fresh, well cooked and great value, although service can be a little slow when busy, we have visited twice in recent weeks. I believe new dishes are being added so for a great little pub with a good atmosphere this is one of the better ones in the area, worth a try. We will be going back for a third time.

Went here for the first time least week after recommendations from friends food was great a little bit of a wait but will worth it as all food is cooked fresh and you can taste is fresh everything is juicy and well presented and the best valie for money we have found in the area after visiting regularly for years.

Visited here recently. Brilliant value for money, great freshly cooked food and a great atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back here when I'm in this neck of the woods again. Highly recommended.

We were told about the Butchers Arms by the owners of the caravan site (Long Acres caravan & camping) near by to the Butchers Arms. we have been couple of times we were not disappointed on either visits. The food was plentiful, yes we did have a bit of a wait but all food is cooked fresh so it was well worth waiting for. the staff and locals are welcoming and friendly, really have no cause for complaint.. will be visiting again soon

And there's no better place to grab a bite to eat, fresh food, great portions and full of flavour makes the butchers arms a cut above the rest!

It does what it says on the tin, good value pub grub, whilst a limited menu selection the portions are good, food is freshly cooked, and the service is friendly and attentive. Landlord is always welcoming and the pub is clean and well maintained. We visit every few weeks for a quick evening meal with the family 3 main adult meals and a child's meal plus drinks around £35. Also pleasant garden to sit in for a quiet drink on a summers evening, worth a visit.

Can't fault it, very tasty and great sized portions. Can tell that the food is fresh and good quality. Very clean and welcoming pub. Eat here regularly would defiantly recommended.

We sought out this pub after reading the reviews on trip advisorWe are a family of four. We ordered four different meals. One was passable,one just about acceptable but two were very poor. It's a shame the food was so poor as the pub had a very nice atmosphere and reasonable prices

Brilliant pub grub food for VERY good prices. Family visit quite often never had a problem. Great food friendly staff and locals. Down side no high chair. But if you know you could bring your own to place ontop of seat or leave in pushchair. Depending on age of child. Hasnt put me off going with my 2 year old. Foods too nice and affordable!

Well done to Kerry and Brett for managing to keep friendly village pubs alive.Don't go expecting a posh restaurant restaurant but do go expecting excellent platefuls of pub grub at value prices served with a friendly smile and courtesy. The Batemans Bitter is probably the best tasting in Lincolnshire. There is also a well stocked selection of Lagers.For the ladies there is also a good selection of wines and every flavour of Cider you can think of.So get yourselves to The Butchers Arms, Commonside, Old Leake. You won't be disappointed.

Between Boston and Skegness on A52 there are few,if any, good value ,great Atmosphere pubs.But lurking just off the A52 at OLD LEAKE there is a gem, well worth a detour of 10 mins.Kerry and Brett slickly run a cosy popular spotless local village pub and will give you the finest of welcomes.For great value drinks, and superb value food , in a traditional atmosphere, this is the place to be, the BBQ Ribs are a challenge for the heartest of appetites ,to get any meal plus a drink for under £10, is amazing real value.The only real problem in recommending The Butchers Arms is ,that if everybody finds this gem as we did, we will struggle to get in ourselves. ENJOY,
