Reviews The Butchers Arms

Delicious lunch meal and the vibe was lovely. The only thing was the sticky toffee pudding dessert could have been more better in my opinion but I am grateful for the service. Thank you

From the outside it’s the archetypal country pub nestled in the bosom of Hepworth village on the outskirts of Holmfirth. Inside its exactly want you’d want - dimly lit, a warming fire, and traditional locally themed decor. There didn’t look to be too much room for a quite pint but it was a Sunday Lunchtime. The menu had plenty of options but being Sunday we went for beef and Yorkshire pudding which came with carrots, broccoli and roast potatoes. Topped this up with a side order of cauliflower cheese which though nice lacked the cheesiness you’d want. The beef was ultimately the star of the show as you’d hope - pink, juicy, with lashings of wholesome gravy. The price came in at around £20 PP which isn’t cheap but this is quality food, well prepared and the service was excellent. When The Great Plague struck England in 1665 Hepworth was the most northerly point that it reached. To save the village residents split it into two parts with those infected left isolated from the world in one half. Let’s hope the pub was on the side of the well and able because, as travel writer John Hillaby once said : “Few things are more pleasant than a village graced with a good church, a good priest and a good pub.” I can’t comment on the church, didn’t see the priest, but this is for sure a good pub.

Went for a family meal and all I can say is that it was Fantastic. From the service, the food, to the range of Ale's. Was all lovely and it's been a while since I found a good pub that I would dare call a "proper pub!" So thank you.

Excellent beer, kept well Great lunch, platter to share

Excellent food and always a friendly welcome. Lovely open fire's burning daily. Staff are always very attentive and on the ball. Whenever my glass is nearing empty staff always check to see if I want a refill. George the manager never misses a beat and is second to none!! Georgina the owner is always smiley and friendly too. Keep up the good work!!

Fantastic Pub grub. Staff were brilliant very friendly and welcoming. Fantastic pint of Farmers Blond. I really enjoyed having something to eat and drink in one of the most iconic pubs used in the TV series Last of the summer wine.

Great place, staff are very friendly and made you very welcome. The food was great too faultless.
