The Butcher & Banker Pub

This place has it all! Great pub vibes, fantastic service and the food is outstanding! Discovered this place when returning home from my annual ski trip in New York state while looking for a place to stop for lunch. This is officially the annual stop every year moving forward and if I'm ever working in the area in the summer, I hope to make another visit than as well. The only thing disappointing would be missing the opportunity to experience this place yourself, so definitely check it out if cruising by on the QEW or Hwy 81. Cheers!

Comfy cozy atmosphere. Very clean and welcoming. The staff were very attentive and helpful. I was only there for a quick bite to eat with a friend. Enjoyed a beer and an appetizer. Mozzarella sticks were delicious. Highly recommend.

BEAT NACHOS I’VE EVER HAD!! I now understand why everyone says this is the best pub in town cause WOW. Came for fathers day and we were all full (family of 4) from the nachos! Our mains didn't even come out yet. And those didn't disappoint either! Amazing food, amazing value and portion sizes, great atmosphere and very kind and friendly staff. Will ABSOLUTELY be going back and recommend the nachos!!

When traveling, it's difficult to know the good from the bad. So we read reviews, ask for the best in the area, and check out the menus. Sometimes it works, but this time, it didn't. My husband ordered the fish and chips. It looked great, but he said it had no taste no matter how much vinegar he used. Then the fries... when they come to the table, they are hot and crispy. But as soon as they cool off ... yuck. Not good. I had the beef dip sandwich. Too salty. The meat itself was dry and too salty. The cheese was overpowering, but the horseradish mayo was great. Again, the same for the fries. The beer was good? Sure Would we go back? Definitely not.

Dont listen to the negative reviews, they are either too old to count due to restaurant changes and turnover (older than 2 years means nothing in the hospitality industry), they have no merit, or no logic. However, I can say this restaurant learns from their reviews. The pricing for the food is appropriate for the quantity and quality you get. I recommend keeping in mind what foods have extra charges (*sweet potato fries are more expensive to produce than regular, to the person who left a bad review for the pricing of two wraps and fries). The food itself, great! The fish and chips were great and had a nice BIG portion of fish (basically the whole fish). Also, the slaw was AMAZING! The corned beef on rye was really tasty but the bread was a little on the thick side (no big deal). The fajita wrap was also very good. The cheese was melted perfectly and the taco flavoring was phenomenal. Finally: the brocolli and cauliflower soup of the day, amazing. I wanted more even though I was full. Now, although there were few staff (it's a Monday at lunch so that's fine), they were pleasant. It would have been nice to have a check in half way through but we still loved the experience. As for the atmosphere and look: when you search "classic British pub" it's almost exactly what you see here. The music was 70s classics which we LOVE. It's not classic pub music, but still awesome and appropriate for a relaxed Monday lunch. 😎 Quality job, well done!
