Awards & press
2 AA Rosettes, awarded August 2025. Listed in the MICHELIN Guide.
The Butchers Arms holds 2 AA Rosettes, awarded in August 2025, and is listed in the MICHELIN Guide for Worcestershire. The pub held a MICHELIN star from 2011 until October 2018 under its previous owners; that star is part of the building’s history and is not a current award. Mark and Jo-Anne Block’s kitchen earned its Rosettes on its own terms.
What the kitchen holds now
Why we do not claim a MICHELIN star
The Butchers Arms held a MICHELIN star from 2011 to October 2018, under previous owners James and Elizabeth Winter. It is a genuine part of this building’s story and worth knowing — but it is not ours to claim, and we will not imply otherwise.
What the pub holds today is a MICHELIN Guide listing and 2 AA Rosettes awarded in August 2025. Both are current, both are verifiable, and both were earned by the kitchen as it stands.

Wednesday to Sunday. The dining room is small, so early booking is sensible.
