Lucy Buy, September 2024

Such a lovely and warm atmosphere and were so kind to our dog (even had a dog menu!!!!)


Luke Carroll, September 2024

Lovely pub with great walks near the pub to tire out your pooch. Pick up a small map from the pub showing all the dog friendly walks. Dog menus available which offers 3 courses! As well as being a great dog friendly venue, it’s also a cracking pub with friendly accommodating service, lovely real ales and great food. Can’t wait to return.

Dog treats and water everywhere!


Nick Tanner, September 2024

On our recent visit we were warmly greeted, Daphne the cockerpoo was addressed immediately, offered water, treats and a dog specific menu was presented and discussed with care, affection and enthusiasm. During our visit all members of staff however busy were welcoming and took time to fuss Daphne and make us all feel welcome. A very good experience and overall very impressed.


Becky Frame, September 2024

Such a beautiful and comfortable patio especially with your dogs! Staff are friendly and helpful, also have water bowls out and treats for the pups!


Kate French, September 2024

Dogs are not just allowed(tolerated!) - they are very much welcomed. Lots of water bowls and treats for well behaved dogs.


Trish Dowling, September 2024

Very friendly and accommodating of all with dogs. The landlord was warm, friendly and interested in us and our dog. Provided dog treats and fresh water. We observed this approach with everyone with dogs of which there were many. I would highly recommend to all with and without dogs.


Jess Bayliss, September 2024

Super pub with a wonderful vibe and very dog friendly, plenty of fresh water and treats.


JIM Brown, September 2024

So many pubs say they are dog friendly but when you visit they aren’t. So often you get pushed into a back room and your dog is barely tolerated. At the Butchers arms they are genuinely Dog Friendly with Miles & Jane ( landlord & landlady) wanting to know all about your dog. The best dog friendly pub we have ever visited.


Sahra Lianna, September 2024

Tucked away in a Sheepscombe The Butchers Arms is an absolute gem for dog lovers, especially those with Afghan hounds! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere, complete with cozy seating that surprisingly accommodates our three majestic hounds.

The staff were incredibly friendly, going out of their way to bring out water bowls and dog treats for our furry companions. The spacious outdoor is a highlight, allowing our Afghan hounds to lounge comfortably while we enjoyed the delicious menu offerings, from hearty pub classics to creative specialties and even dogggie ice cream.

It is a social hotspot for both pups and their humans. With ample space for the hounds to stretch their legs and a laid-back vibe, The Butcher's Arm’s provides a perfect outing for our trio.

In summary, if you're looking for a pet-friendly pub that treats both you and your canine companions with love and respect, look no further than The Butchers Arms. We’ll definitely be returning for more memorable lunches.


Maya, September 2024

Perfect country pub with country values, ie, dog and horse friendly. You’re always welcome with a smile and you leave to the sound of laughter. And then there’s the views, the fires and the lovely local staff.

Nicola, March 2022

I visited The Butchers Arms early 2021 when only outdoor seating was allowed. Despite the awful weather (thunderstorm & heavy rain), we had a really lovely meal under a marquee out the front of the pub. The food was great, the staff very helpful and dogs were made to feel very welcome. I think there was a dog at pretty much every table under the canopy. Dogs are allowed in the bar area inside the pub now restrictions have lifted. Probably advisable to mention you have a dog when booking.
