The Butchers Arms

 

 

 

The Butchers Arms is a traditional village pub situated in Balscote, just 4 miles from Banbury.  It is a cosy little pub, with a beautiful beer garden that takes in some of the best views of the village.  We serve a range of Hooky Ales straight from the cask with a choice of Hooky Best, Dark and the monthly beer. There is a wide range of choice to suit any palate.

As well a good beer we serve traditional home made pub grub such as Ham, Egg and Chips with the eggs coming from our own chickens and Beef and Hooky Pie with a wonderful Sunday lunch (Booking Only).  Along side these we also have themed food nights with the food, drink and entertainment all coming from a particular country. We have had very successful Spanish and German events and we are hoping to have a Swedish evening with an Abba band in the near future.

On Sunday evenings there are traditional games available to play such as Dominos, Crib and Chess and Aunt Sally is available to anyone over the Summer months.

So why not come a visit a traditional village pub and meet Ken, Eileen, Kate and Ella. The Butchers Arms

Carrot Club Evening for Katharine House Hospice

                                  We had an evening of Acoustic Music on St Georges Day in aid of the Katharine House Hospice. The evening was a great success and we                                    managed to raise £150 on the night. We now have a permanent donation box on the bar which is doing very well.

 

 

 

Steak Night

Our Saturday Steak Nights have been a great success with many villagers and locals coming to sample our delicious steaks. Because of the interest that has been shown we have now expanded our choice to include a 16oz T-Bone Steak, which isn’t often seen on the menu and Tuna Steaks for those who would like a change. Vegetarian options are available with prior notice.
