Quite busy on a weekday evening which is a good sign. Restaurant was full so I ate in the bar. Menu wasn't huge , but full of Welsh classics. The pate was nice and smooth and a large portion. The hunters chicken I chose because of the accompanying sweet potato fries. It was all well cooked and tasty. Notable was the speed in which the food came out , quite quickly. Also notable was the fact that it was a little cold inside ( review written in Feb 2023, outside temperature if around 8 ). A lot of people had jumpers on. There was a nice selection of ales at the bat including two of my favourites , Doom Bar being one. I will go back. Reccomended.
Great to have live music, the venue is vibrant and full of live music revelers. Band fugitives were excellent. They played two sets music for all eras, well done to staff and management for a well run establishment.
Booking is recommended, although the team did great to fit us in. The food was exemplary, two of us had deep fried cod, chips and garden peas, and one chose the vegetarian chicken (plant protein) and noodles. The dessert choices were great, the lemon meringue roulade was delicious.
Fairly busy, and we left before the live band started. Will definitely return.
Enough disabled parking is lacking, however the overflow car park has many spaces very near the beer garden entrance.
We had dinner on a Friday evening.
The food was delicious, and the service was excellent.
In our opinion, this restaurant/pub is a true hidden gem.
It has the seal of approval from our 10 year old son, which is probably the equivalent of an Olympic gold medal or a Nobel prize 😉
As a pub restaurant I was impressed by the range of on menu and various specials available. And service was decent and attentive sat in rear restaurant area.
I made a mistake in not going for Venison steak special and other's starters were all impressive and good portion sizes.
Of the deserts the cheese board was huge for 1 person and good value at same £4.50 as other desserts.
I however had (slightly disappointing) pulled pork and chorizo topped burger + then warm chocolate fudge cake with ice cream.
Overall would give it a 'good' 4/5 stars, but might have made it to 5/5 if I'd had the venison steak that other person in our group had.
Great place great live music . Didn't eat just enjoyed the crack
Lovely cosy local pub and great staff. Nice covered area out the back. Would be nice to have a sunny spot though.
We had a lovely lunch at the Butchers Arms last week. Excellent food and service. Will definitely visit again.
Very comfortable surroundings.The restaurant was lovely, our meal came quickly and was delicious, l had the chicken curry. It's ground level but has a few steps to enter the pub.but is fine for wheelchair users Lovely toilets, including a disabled one, clean well kept. Pub is good for children, good variety of food including vegetarian options. They dont deliver. Has a beer garden as well. We enjoyed our evening.
A quiet Thursday night. Piping hot food. Maybe on the pricey side for a pub but very good choice.
