About This Pub
Ah, the Butchers Arms in Warrington – it's one of those places that really pulls you in with its warm, buzzing energy, isn't it? From what I've gathered from the chats and reviews, it's a top spot for enjoying some flame-grilled favourites that hit the mark every time, and at prices that won't leave you out of pocket. I love how they make room for everyone, whether you're there for the big sports matches like the Women's Euros or just a relaxed pint with mates; it's got that community feel with events and amenities that keep things entertaining. The staff can be absolute gems too, stepping up to fix any minor issues with a friendly touch, which adds a nice personal touch. But, let's be honest, it's not all smooth sailing – it does get packed to the rafters sometimes, and that can mean a wait for your table or dealing with a server who's not quite on their A-game. Still, with such a strong rating overall, I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're after a solid night out; just keep in mind it might have a few off moments, but the good bits definitely shine through.

Taken my mum to lunch here several times over the last few months and also my daughter today. Food is good value and cooked just right. Served with a smile. Great to see how popular this old haunt of mine is having frequented it over 40 years ago :)
Had a lovely time, Jussie was absolutely lovely and so polite to myself and the group I was with, service with a smile and so kind. Food was lovely and the atmosphere was great as a Freddie mercury tribute was on. Some staff came across as miserable and as if they did not want to be there, such a shame as it was a lovely pub
Lovely little pub, slight issue with the food as new menu launched yesterday. Vicky the manager swiftly sorted out the issue. Very friendly and attentive. Will be back to try the food again hopefully with no issues
So first of all it was mad busy which is a good sign for a pub but there was no one hosting as you can reserve tables
I had to wait at the bar for 15 minutes just to find out where I am sat and had a table booked for 7pm (arrived at 6:45)
We got shown to the table and there was someone already sat down and they didn’t move until 7:10pm which caused delays
No sorry no nothing from the team
The food was average and the only good thing about the pub was the atmosphere because rugby was being shown and it was packed
Myself, 4 adults and 2 children came for my Son's birthday after recommendation. All 7 different meals and desserts were lovely. The service from the staff was spot on! Thank you. We will visit again.
