As the nights draw in, nothing beats a proper British pub with a roaring fire, real ale served straight from the cask, and some tasty pub grub.
If that’s your idea of the perfect weekend, then you need to get yourself to The Butchers Arms in Eldersfield, near Gloucester. If it isn’t, well, we can’t be friends. Sorry.
The Butchers Arms is a 16th century ‘real drinking’, rural pub and it’s just been named the Pub of the Year 2016 by the Michelin guide, ahead of 600 other entries.
