Run by the Pires family since 1973, in the heart of the unspoilt Warwickshire countryside, Butcher's Arms is a charmingly unique restaurant with an inglenook fireplace, flagstone floors and a wealth of interesting features. Dating back to 1375, it still embodies so much of what is loved about vintage places like these, cosy alcoves, historical artefacts, et el.

The kitchen relies on some of the best produce the country has on offer and the menu unfolds basically traditional food inspired by imagination and flair. Begin with a choice of hot or cold starters like avocado pear filled with prawns, topped with Marie Rose sauce, or oriental Gressingham duck salad. Bacalhao grelhado, a Portuguese dried salted cod is grilled with olive oil and a hint of garlic that locks in the moisture, making this dish a juicy and flavoursome main course.

Enjoy a pre-dinner drink on the patio overlooking the garden and take in the wonderful aroma of delicately fragranced flowers at The Butcher's Arms.
