The Butcher's Arms Carhampton

A warm welcome

Traditional freehouse country pub

The Butchers Arms, Carhampton is a traditional freehouse country pub nestled in the heart of Somerset. The Grade 2 listed pub, originally built in 1638, is steeped in history and forms an integral part of life in the village and includes a small shop, coffee house and serves local cider. Events throughout the year include a weekly quiz (Monday), a monthly acoustic night (3rd Thursday) and the Wassail held every January.

Over the past 400 years, the building has been sympathetically modernised whilst retaining many original features and characteristics. These include hand stenciled beams, original ceilings and a pebbled floor depicting 1638 in sheep knuckles.

The Butchers Arms is the perfect spot for morning hot chocolate or coffee, a welcome break from one of the many walks or a place to unwind and relax with friends in a welcoming and cosy atmosphere.
