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.

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!! Wonderful greeting and service from the staff. The food was beyond excellent , full of flavours. The black pudding salad topped with a poached egg was a combination I never thought I’d ever try and the sea bass was plentiful and tasty. The only slight downside is that we visited in the evening and the venue felt chilly however this will not stop us visiting again in the near future 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.
