The butchers arms in Eden

Jon was incredibly accommodating for a large booking, a lot more so than other places I had enquired with. The Butchers did not disappoint, the staff were friendly and the food was incredible, everyone in our party said how good it was. This place is definitely worth a visit. Thank you so much!

As we were staying nearby we decided to book dinner at this love community pub. We had Calamari to start with and beautifully cooked braised brisket of beef for mains. Both were excellent...beautifully cooked and very tasty. Staff were very friendly in this busy community pub. We'll worth a visit!

Great meal with excellent lamb and wonderful desserts. Good value with friendly staff. Will be back very soon Thank you

Our second visit to this lovely gastro pub. We were greeted by a lovely young lady who showed us our table and provided us with drinks and food menus. The atmosphere was relaxed and very friendly, every member of the staff team was so incredibly nice, friendly and professional. The menu is quite extensive with an enticing choice of dishes. I chose the 8 hour braised brisket and I have to say, it was just the best dish I've ever had: perfectly seasoned and full of incredible flavour. My partner had the confidence duck salad which he said was amazing. For dessert...the strawberry roulade was fantastic; so light and fresh. I just can't recommend The Butchers Arms highly enough. Thanks to everyone for everything. Pauline & Graham

Fabulous Sunday lunch, generous portions cooked to perfection. Interestingly they serve their full menu on a Sunday not just the traditional Sunday lunch which is good. We came as it was voted the best Sunday lunch in the Lakes on Trip Advisor. I thoroughly agree, well worth a visit.

This is a real find, had Sunday lunch, the choice is excellent and our food was first class. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for the staff and they are very friendly. It is only a short drive from Shap and has easy parking in the village. For the quality of food presented it is very reasonably priced. Highly recommend a visit.

THE food is five star, fresh, delicious, outstanding. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, we had a lovely evening.

Popped in for a drink and a snack. The pub was busy and we hadn’t booked, but they quickly found us a table. Quick and excellent service from our friendly and helpful waiter. We just shared some ribs and sweet potato fries which were delicious and presented beautifully but the rest of the menu sounded amazing as well. The beer came in a perfectly chilled glass. I would definitely recommend a visit (and the ribs).

Been this evening for the first time, with friends who have been before. All I can say is amazing! Good was worth every penny. The pub is a community pub, its well run, clean, and friendly. The food was second to none, three of us...

Excellent pub. Great food and great beer with a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff were exceptional and went the extra mile. The ribs with Mac and cheese were 10/10. Can’t wait to return.

Great place to eat. Great food. Big portions. Friendly staff. Best place we have eaten whilst we have been away. Thank you for being welcoming.

A hidden gem! If you are in the area this is not to be missed. Superb food and service. We ate here twice this week and we couldn't fault anything.

Two visits in three nights and 5* both times. Spoilt for choice. Service excellent and food just amazing. Cannot fault it. Thank you

Stopping in Orton needed dog friendly pub did some internet searching and came across the butchers arms went on the Wednesday it was so good we booked a table for the following night the food is just devine from starters to main course to pudding...

Yet again another fabulous meal at the Butcher's Arms - the Pork Ribs are to kill for! John and his team never fail to deliver which is why we return so often.

Amazing service, great food, well priced what more do you want from a local pub awesome find will definitely return to try Sunday lunch!

What a lovely pub, friendly staff,good service excellent food and reasonable prices, a lovely little find thanks to trip advisor👍

Great Sunday lunch! Having tried most other pubs in the area, I have to say that the Butcher's Arms stands head and shoulders above the lot. Clean, fresh, and welcoming. Attentive, friendly, yet not intrusive service. Food was excellent, as was the beer; my Mum...

Excellent food at a great price. Staff were wonderful and we loved the atmosphere here. Very tasty and well presented xx

Had a great meal with friends on a Friday night. Atmosphere, service, food & ale was faultless. Great menu not too extensive. All very reasonable prices, will visit again.

Excellent. Lucky for us we stopped enroute to a hen Do. Fabulous service off Lilly. Fish & chips very tasty. Soup and toasted. Omg so tasty. The soup tomato was made fresh and the toasty made for perfect dunking. Definitely worth a short detour.

We booked a week in advance and took our dog along with us for our meal. Because of the dog we were seated in the main area of the bar rather than the restaurant, but this didn't harm our experience at all. The bar staff,...

Having been wanting to try the Roast Dinner here for a while, I wondered what possibly could make this any different than other pubs offering the same. How wrong I was. The food came out steaming hot, freshly cooked, a delight to the eyes and...

Had a fab time enjoying all the Butchers had to offer. Great beer, food, atmosphere and welcome. Stayed in Crosby Ravenswood this week and this place has been the hi-light at the end of each day. The staff and locals are all so welcoming, food...

Absolutely amazing pub! defiantly our favourite ! the food is amazing, the atmosphere is amazing and the people are lovely and friendly. I'm not sure you would find another place like it. Highly recommended by a regular visitor!

Plenty of choices on the menu for Sunday lunch. I can recommend the roast beef. Advisable to book a table in advance.

What a lovely pub with excellent food. We arranged a dinner for some of our close friends. We were greeted by friendly staff, the menu was varied and delicious and the service was timely and friendly.

Great atmosphere, lovely staff and the best pub meal I’ve had in a long time. Couldn’t fault the place, and the attention to detail is excellent. Well done to the team.

Had tea last night in this amazing pub in the Eden Valley. We had a late Sunday lunch which was superb, the place has a real vibe with staff very friendly and attentive indeed. Check it out its a real hidden gem

Amazing food! We stumbled upon this gem of a pub by accident and were extremely pleasantly surprised. We knew as soon as we walked in that the food was going to be incredible. The atmosphere was really cosy and the menu looked like it changed...

So welcoming and friendly. A proper traditional pub with a great atmosphere and great food to match. Not to much choice on the menu which I think is good, as I think to much, and the standard isn’t always great! Nothing was to much trouble....

Just returned home after a wonderful meal. Service was excellent, food beautifully presented and so tasty. Wiukd definitely recommend

Had a Sunday lunch. Delicious and very friendly staff. The roast dinner was delicious and black pudding starter excellent

Friendly staff, but very mediocre menu and food, and quite pricey. Not sure at all how the 5 star review was earned. Quite disappointing

Had another two takeaways from the pub last night. If pub food had Michelin stars this would get three. Brilliant meal friendly service and to the minute for pick up. If you haven’t been you are missing out.
