Set in the heart of Forsbrook on the edge of the stunning Staffordshire Moorlands, The Butchers Arms is a true village gem, full of charm, character, and community spirit. Since joining the Joule’s estate in 2014, this beautiful pub has been sympathetically restored and lovingly expanded, doubling in size while keeping its warm, traditional soul.
Step inside and you’ll find oak floors, stained glass, and cosy wooden nooks that invite customers to settle in and stay awhile. From the spacious bar pouring Joule’s full beer range, to a comfortable dining area for classic pub favourites, and a snug with a roaring open fire, the Butchers Arms offers something for everyone. Outside, the wraparound beer terrace is the perfect spot for summer afternoons by the brook.
This is a bustling, community-driven pub with around 70% of sales from drinks. The Butchers Arms thrives on its vibrant atmosphere, live music, quiz nights, and local events that bring the village together. A simple but quality food offer complements the drinks trade and there’s clear potential for the right operator to grow the food side even further.
If you love great beer, hearty food, and creating a welcoming social hub, this is a brilliant opportunity to make your mark.
