Our story.
The Butchers Arms was always the plan.
A long-held dream, quietly building.
Scott’s travelled—kitchens, countries, learning from the best.
Kirsty’s the other half—front of house, people, the detail that makes it all work.
Together, they built Strawberry Shortcake Dining.
Now, it all comes here.
To Llanddarog.
To this pub. Everything they’ve learnt, brought together.
This is not just a pub. It’s a chance to show that all the small things matter.
Back to cooking properly.
Back to caring about the details.
Back to work that matters.
Our team
This is not just a pub to us. It’s a chance to show that all the small things matter.
Together, we’ve been in the business of good food for almost 50 years. Taking on The Butchers Arms has been a long-held dream.
For us this is about real cooking. If it’s on the plate, it matters.
The Butchers Arms is a real pub. If it’s in a glass, it matters.
This is a place for locals. For visitors. For everyone.
We’re proud to be here. We hope you like our pub.

Co-Founder & Head Chef
Scott runs the kitchen here at The Butchers Arms.
It’s all about flavour first.
Ingredient-driven food.
What’s good, when.
If you asked him what kind of food he cooks, he’d just say—well travelled.If it works, it works.
He’s big on people, too. Building a team. Passing things on.
Giving younger chefs a proper start, and the confidence to find their own way.

Our pub
The kind of pub you hoped still existed.
The Butchers Arms has been here since the 17th century.
It’s a proper pub, at the heart of the community.
Where locals and visitors meet, slow down, eat well, and catch up over a pint.
