The Butlers Arms is a proper family-run pub, built on a deep love of great food, good drinks, and true hospitality.

Today, the business is run by Becki, who carries forward everything that made The Butlers Arms special. With a mix of laughter, care, commitment to doing things properly and an unwavering dose of inherited sarcasm (thanks, Dad), she keeps the whole place ticking with energy, passion and a lot of love.

The spirit of the pub was shaped by Chris and Paula — Becki’s mum and dad — who poured everything into the place. Paula was the heart of the kitchen, overseeing every detail from sourcing the best local produce to crafting the delicious menus we’re still proud to serve today. Chris brought the humour, the warmth, and that unmistakable character that made people feel instantly welcome. His wicked sense of humour and their shared passion for hospitality helped shape every part of the pub’s personality.

Though Chris and Paula are no longer with us, their presence is felt in every corner of The Butlers — from the food, to the atmosphere, to the way we welcome each and every guest.

Becki continues the legacy, with the same passion the family built the business on. Days off? Rare. But when they happen, you’ll find her out in restaurants, exploring new dishes and flavours to bring inspiration back to the pub. Holidays are for…well, mostly eating and drinking in exciting places. All in the name of research, of course.

Of course, we’ve got great beer and all the usual drinks, but people still talk about the food. And the hospitality. And the eclectic (some say eccentric) décor, the famously well-kept loos, the proper coffee, the homemade gins, the rotating wine list… and yes, always the food.

We’re proud to be a bit different — and we do our best to make every visit feel like something special.

Some things we won’t budge on:
If it’s fish, it’s the freshest.
If it’s meat, it’s the best, from the best butcher.
If a burger makes the menu, it’ll be glorious.
We smoke our own fish, sometimes cure our own charcuterie, set our own panna cotta, serve up cracking cheese boards, and shake up one of the best Espresso Martinis around.

We live and breathe this place — and we’d love for you to be part of it.
