About us
The Butler’s Arms is a proper family business focused on delivering true hospitality; a warm welcom, great drinks and super food.
Paula (mum) keeps a watchful eye over the kitchen. She pretty much oversees everything from menu development through to sourcing the best local produce and bringing it all together to make the wonderful dishes you’ll find on our menus. Becki (daughter) runs the rest of the pub. She’s fuelled by some pretty exceptional management skills which she delivers with an abundance of smiles, laughter and unwavering sarcasm, all inhertied from the wonderful Chris.
Of course, we’ve got great beer and all the usual drinks but everyone talks about our food…and our hospitality, and our eclectic (some say weird) taste in furnishings and décor, and our toilets (you’ll love our lavs!), our coffee, our home made gins and ever changing wine list, and…did we mention the food? We’re a bit different and (we’re told) a bit good at what we do best; making people happy.

We popped into this pub passing through Sutton on a weekday afternoon. It was not busy, given the time, however it is a nice pub. The menu was decent. The only downside was not having a kids menu. Otherwise, nice food and good service. On many visits the beers have been good. Also bar snacks have been good. My last visit for a meal in their “restaurant” area was ok but nothing up to expectations based on friend’s reports. Great staff a good service but the general ambiance is poor and the food unexceptional. Noted for fish my partners see bass was generous and well cooked but the accompaniment was poor. My hand made burger seemed more frozen supermarket than restaurant. We have been many times to eat but last night was exceptional. My daughter had the bladed beef and I had the smoked haddock. This as got a 5 star Michelin place. Absolutely top draw. Food was great and elegant. I absorbed the atmosphere with tranquil pleasure Visited for lunch today with family. It was lovely. Food was fresh and tasty and also reasonably priced. It was cosy and pretty unique inside - Its nice to visit a place that is family run and not a chain. There are babychanging facilities which my partner said were excellent. They also had lovely cask ales on which had obviously been looked after. All in all a great find - we will be back! Nice selection of food including a good fish menu and a good priced mid-week selection.
Very good service and nice atmosphere.
Equally nice selection of drinks and wines.
Fair pricing for the quality of restaurant. Good Sunday roast alert!! 🚨 The Butlers Arms is the true definition of comfort food. A real home from home feel to the restaurant. Sunday roast was lovely and a generous portion. (Just missing stuffing!) I look forward to trying more of the menu!! Will be back. The restaurant was clean and the service was top!! After a recommendation from a friend, we ate here on a Saturday evening, mainly to try the fish menu. Not only was the food done really well, seasoned and cooked perfectly, the service was even better. We were looked after by a guy called Tom.....he went out of his way to make sure we (and our fussy eating daughter) were happy with everything; these are the little touches that make all the difference these days and is one of the main reasons that we will definitely be back in the near future. Food + Service = Superb! Went for dinner whilst staying with a friend. From the outside just looked like a normal village pub, inside was like what a pub should look like, great atmosphere. The food was amazing as was the staff and the service. Will definitely revisit next time I’m in Sutton Coldfield. Recommend to any one looking for a great place to have a meal.
