Butchers Arms, Herne (Butcher's Arms Micropub)

Micropub.

From May 2026 under new management with increased opening hours. The original micropub, an inspiration to many others, and a real ale gem. Once a butcher's shop, it still has the original chopping tables, with hooks and other implements. There is seating for 12 customers and standing room for about 15, the compact drinking area ensuring lively banter. An ever-changing variety of guest beers are offered, and customers can buy beer to take home. The pub has won five CAMRA awards and was the East Kent Pub of the Year in 2009. Cask ales are served on gravity dispense from stillage in a temperature controlled cellar room at the rear. Expect to walk through the cellar room to get to the unisex toilet at the very back of the pub. There is a public car park in School Lane. The pub is open from 6pm on Wednesday. Thursday Friday and Midday to 3 on Saturday and Sunday Extended hours at other times can also be arranged. Congratulations to Martyn on his recent MBE for services to business and the hospitality industry. Cash payment only here, card payment not accepted. Please note there are no local ATMs available. We can now be found on Ale finder and have greater beers selection.
