About This Pub
You know, chatting about The Butlers Arms with mates, it's clear this place has a lot going for it – it's one of those pubs that just feels right from the moment you walk in. The food is spot on, with hearty, well-priced dishes that hit the mark every time, and the staff are an absolute delight, always on hand with a smile and quick to sort out any details for events or just a casual meal. It's got this relaxed, welcoming feel that's perfect whether you're nipping in for a quick bite or planning something bigger like a family bash. They've even got some fun extras like gin tastings that make it more than your average pub outing. On the downside, it does fill up quickly, so you might end up disappointed if you don't book in advance, and if you're after a late supper, the kitchen closes a bit early. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good night out – honest, it's got that balance of charm and reliability that keeps you coming back.

Recent Reviews
we booked the butlers for our wedding reception. The food, Staff and Atmosphere was great throughout the day. Julie was fantastic throughout the whole process with constant communication. The whole staff are a credit to the butlers and could not fault and single one. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a lovely place in the heart of pleasington, even if it was for a fantastic meal out or just to pop in for a drink.
thank you Julie and the Butlers team, see you again soon.
Enjoyed our lunch here on a rainy Tuesday. I booked a table and was glad I did, the place was bustling; great to see when other establishments in the area are struggling. Our food was great, nice big portions with lovely chunky chips and moderately priced. Service was spot on, no complaints at all. The afternoon tea looks especially nice (and reasonably priced too) so I look forward to returning to try that out with the family.
Excellent beer and food. Friendly staff and helpful. We visited with a large group and the food ordering system worked very well.
amazing food, amazing service , nicest staff i’ve seen in a long time!
Absolutely amazing. We had a family birthday celebration here for 100 people. Julie organised the event and suggested a BBQ on the large terrace behind the pub overlooking the bowling green. It was wonderful. Nathan the chef BBQ-ed outside and the whole kitchen team were fantastic. The food was delicious. Myles ensured the whole event ran smoothly and that everyone was happy and well fed. Cain and the bar team were brilliant and made sure that drinks were flowing. Our talented musicians were easily accommodated on the terrace and performed beautifully. Nothing was too much trouble for the Butlers team. All requests were met with a smile. I had so many comments on how great the food was, how lovely the staff were and what a fabulous setting it was.
Luckily the sun shone, but the build up was stress free, as Julie had a contingency plan in case it didn’t. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this venue. So very happy that our local is well and truly back and better than ever.
