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.

Excellent meal once again.
We live in Essex but come every time we visit family. Wish we lived closer. Thank you Becki & team , the Tornado Rossini steak melted in mouth, delicious We came to this pub after a great day watching the British Masters golf for my father-in-laws birthday. Welcomed and served by Tom and the team, we enjoyed an exceptional meal. I had the scallops and the sole from the fish menu and Phil had the filet steak. To follow I had the ice cream with port and Phil had the cheeseboard. Each dish was fantastic and matched by the service. We ate on a Saturday evening and wanted to come back the following day - gutted they don’t open Sunday evening. Can’t remember a better meal and can’t recommend highly enough. Outstanding. Absolutely fab dinner tonight. We took my elderly Mom amd she loved it! Mussels and Prawns were delicious. Great service and wine too. We shall be back! Birthday meal for two.
We shared a starter of scallops followed by sea bass fillets and the hake fillet. Both main courses were excellent and very tasty.
A share cheese board for sweet which had a good selection of cheese but not overwhelming portions.
Would definitely recommend and look forward to our next visit Spent over £140, took over two hours, bit skimpy on the fish side of things, veg a little al dente for two of us. Staff were lovely, the "we are independent all our food is cooked fresh" line only works for so long. Sorry We’d been ‘table 8’ before and came back again - it was brilliant, we had whitebait, fish cakes and heritage tomatoes to start - I’d struggle to choose a favourite as they were all superb. We then had the lamb, haddock, hake to follow. Finally cheese selection and crumble - the whole meal was perfect. The food was insanely good, the service was lovely. Cannot wait to return - highly recommended!!! Great wine choices as well xx Great experience. Welcoming staff and very nice service. Outstanding mussels to start, as good as we've had at our favourite seaside restaurant in Ireland. The king prawns for main were also fantastic. Thank you. Lunch with a friend and we chose a Black Pudding starter followed by Main course Faggots. Very Dudley! Excellent yet we are not from the Black Country.
Plus well kept beer.
Excellent service and
Can't wait to return for more. We have been here twice this week to celebrate special family occasions, our golden wedding anniversary on Saturday and our grandson's 21st birthday today. On both occasions we have had great service and the food has been excellent! We were a group of 15 on Saturday and 11 tonight and the food has been served to all of us with good timing, nobody had to wait for their meals even though we were a big group. We could not fault anything Saturday was our first experiences of eating here and we enjoyed it so much we went back tonight, we will be going back again!!
