About
We are a small, family run business established a few years ago. We offer good quality, freshly prepared, home cooked food in an industry which is now dominated by ‘chain’ offers. We do not have any ‘bought in’ dishes on our menu. We cook and prepare all our own hams, pates and terrines on the premises. Our desserts have never seen the inside of a frozen food van. Nothing on the menu is a ‘boil in the bag’ ready meal. We think, (we’re not sure) that we’re the only pub business in the local area that actually makes their own chips.

Very tasty take away

This is a review for the Butlers weekend take away. The family have been doing a main course and dessert during lockdown. So no choice, but what we have had has been great and up to their usual high quality. Freshly prepared substantial and piping...More

Butlers Arms my favourite in Sutton Coldfield. Highly Recommended !!

Love the "Butlers". Food is always fresh, locally sourced & delicious . Combine this with great beers & real ales, it's perfect for me. Quirky decor & atmosphere also makes it a top place to eat & drink in Sutton.
