Menu

Here in the heart of Sheepscombe, we believe great food and drink starts with great ingredients – and for us, that means keeping things local. The Butchers Arms has always been proud to champion the brilliant breweries, distilleries and producers that surround us. From well‑loved Cotswold classics to small-batch treasures just down the road, our bar and kitchen are full of the flavours that make this region so special.

A Bar Stocked With the Best of the West Country

No visit to the Butchers Arms is complete without a pint of something local, and our line‑up showcases the very best from nearby producers. We pour Butcombe Beer, brewed just over in Bristol, known for its crisp, characterful ales that pair perfectly with a hearty pub lunch or a relaxed afternoon in the garden. Alongside it, you’ll often find guest beers from independent breweries, including favourites like Glastonbury Ales – ideal for those who love to discover something new with each visit.

If you prefer something a little stronger, our shelves proudly feature Cotswold Gin, crafted in the nearby Cotswolds using fresh botanicals and traditional distilling techniques. It’s a true celebration of the landscape we’re lucky enough to call home.

And for cider lovers, we’ve got you covered too. We serve Stowford Press and Henry Weston’s Vintage Cider, both made in Herefordshire, bringing you that classic West Country character in every glass – crisp, refreshing and perfect alongside a sunny afternoon or a Sunday roast.

Local Ingredients, Seasonal Dishes

Supporting local doesn’t stop at the bar. Our kitchen team works closely with trusted regional suppliers to bring the freshest seasonal ingredients to your plate. Whether it’s quality meats, vibrant vegetables or artisan cheeses, we believe the difference is in the detail – and you can taste it in every dish.

Our menu changes with the seasons, celebrating what the countryside offers at its best. It’s honest, heartfelt cooking inspired by tradition, elevated with a modern touch.

Why Local Matters

For us, using local produce isn’t just about quality – it’s about community. Every pint, spirit and ingredient we source supports the incredible independent makers and growers who keep the Cotswolds thriving. When you dine or drink with us, you’re not just enjoying great flavour; you’re helping sustain the businesses that give our region its charm.
