   We visited a few years ago when there were limited opening times and food service but had such a wonderful meal we thought we'd return. We had Sunday lunch, then booked for the next 2 nights of our stay. Wonderful food, atmosphere, and staff. The young ladies who were working every day were amazing, so friendly and couldn't do enough for you. We highly recommend you pop in as you'll love it and will definitely return. Great value for money and good portion sizes. Roaring fires, which are very much needed as we always seem to stay when there's wind and rain!

   Fantastically friendly lunchtime service, food excellent with large portions and great choice. Good beers on tap. Pub was very nicely decorated, clean and tidy and well maintained. Would definitely return and dog friendly too. Music good but ever so slightly too loud otherwise perfect stop after a lovely walk.

   Had dinner here at around 6pm on a rainy Thursday in September. Did not book and was seated straight away in the dog friendly area as we had our Ruby with us. My wife had the sea bass and I opted for the pie of the day which was mince. For pudding we both had the biscoff cheesecake. All of the food was good, the service prompt and very friendly. I would highly recommend trying the Butchers Arms if staying in the area. The only downside is potentially finding a suitable parking spot on the street as the pub car park has limited spaces.

   The overall food was fantastic, but then my partner asked if I wanted his salad as he don't normally eat it, so I said I'll have it. As soon as I got it it my mouth - I got some crunch between my teeth - the salad had big chunks of mud. The lighting in the room is a little subtle, so it was difficult to see in the dining room. Not sure what sort of lighting is in the kitchen though. The staff were really apologetic and knocked my husband's meal off the bill, but I was almost sick and couldn't finish my meal, for which they did nothing.

   It's a reasonably atmospheric old pub with a decent range of drinks. The food usually falls short of what we'd expect for the price and the billing of a top gastropub. An alleged steak and kidney pie was a pot of casserole with the least puffy puff pastry lid I've ever encountered. A pie it was not. Superficially tasty with a strong hit of beef and kidney but no real depth of flavour. 'buttery' mash did not taste of butter. A tiny portion of green beans completed the dish. Very disappointing. A chicken, mushroom and leek pie was just a creamy mush with the same poor pastry and accompaniments as above.

   From the outside it’s the archetypal country pub nestled in the bosom of Hepworth village on the outskirts of Holmfirth. Inside its exactly want you’d want - dimly lit, a warming fire, and traditional locally themed decor. There didn’t look to be too much room for a quite pint but it was a Sunday Lunchtime. The menu had plenty of options but being Sunday we went for beef and Yorkshire pudding which came with carrots, broccoli and roast potatoes. Topped this up with a side order of cauliflower cheese which though nice lacked the cheesiness you’d want. The beef was ultimately the star of the show as you’d hope - pink, juicy, with lashings of wholesome gravy. The price came in at around £20 PP which isn’t cheap but this is quality food, well prepared and the service was excellent. When The Great Plague struck England in 1665 Hepworth was the most northerly point that it reached. To save the village residents split it into two parts with those infected left isolated from the world in one half. Let’s hope the pub was on the side of the well and able because, as travel writer John Hillaby once said : “Few things are more pleasant than a village graced with a good church, a good priest and a good pub.” I can’t comment on the church, didn’t see the priest, but this is for sure a good pub.

   Went for a family meal and all I can say is that it was Fantastic. From the service, the food, to the range of Ale's. Was all lovely and it's been a while since I found a good pub that I would dare call a "proper pub!" So thank you.

   This is an amazing pub and restaurant that has recently re-opened. We had amazing beer (Timothy Taylors) and some gorgeous snack food. The restaurant is opening again this week and we cant wait to try it. Great staff and lovely outdoor and indoor areas with a new dining room opening upstairs. I could not recommend this pub enough.
