The Butchers Arms, Eldersfield.
Seasonal modern British cooking in Eldersfield, cooked by Mark Block and served by Jo-Anne in a small dining room that has not lost its village pub.
Open Wednesday to Sunday
The Butchers Arms is a 16th-century free house in Eldersfield, Gloucestershire, serving seasonal Modern British food Wednesday to Sunday. The kitchen holds 2 AA Rosettes, awarded in August 2025, and the pub is listed in the MICHELIN Guide and Good Food Guide. The menu changes with the seasons and fresh produce is delivered daily, prepped and served. The postal address is a Gloucestershire GL19 postcode, but the pub sits in Worcestershire, close to Tewkesbury, Malvern and the M50.
A destination pub. Cooking worth the drive, a pub worth staying in. Your happy place.
Mark cooks; Jo-Anne runs the front of house. Between them they have kept a small kitchen turning out food at Rosette standard without turning the place into a restaurant. The bar still has locals in it. That balance is the whole point.
Because the dining room is small, please book to avoid disappointment. We do not turn tables, your table is yours for the service. We believe that your dining experience should be exceptional and a personal experience.
