A Butcombe Brewery tenanted house, the Carpenters Arms is a traditional stone built pub that has been sympathetically restored and modernised. There is also a conservatory. Whilst drinkers are welcomed the pub now is a real 'Foodie' establishment with the layout much in the style of a restaurant, and the food prices reflect this although the single Butcombe beer (original) is still reasonably priced. The skittle alley no longer exists and no pub games are played.
