The Shoulder Of Mutton

I'm in the minority in finding it disappointing... Especially when bringing in for their birthday and they were disappointed too. This was supporting a client, who is a food lover

Warm welcome with a comfortable atmosphere. Ordered main meal which was beautifully cooked. Vegetables were superb. Polite, courteous and effecient service. Never been before but but definitely go again.

A party of 6 of us went to the Shoulder last night for New Years Eve. The food and the service were excellent. This is the third time we’ve eaten here in the last month and it’s has been excellent each time. Ver carta

15 friends meeting for a Christmas get together had lovely meal, great service and good fun. Well done on the service from Andy and the team, lovely food from Nathan and his kitchen crew, great to see the pub back to its rightful place in the community Thanks for taking care of us hitchen love Anne and the greenmount gang

I have just been for a fantastic family meal at this pub. Proof that pub grub can be delicious when done well. Great ingredients, cooked well and lovely flavour's. Homemade bread and hummus, beautiful and generous rib starts, shin of beef and burgers wow. Someone can cook! A warm welcome and attentive staff. Thank you for a lovely evening guys you should be proud.

We called about 12:40 and though the pub appeared empty we were told they couldn 't take 'walk ins '. We were told there were only 2 staff in the kitchen. Perhaps they were preparing for large groups arriving but it seems an odd way to run a business. We went to Hoysters further down at the crossroad junction our first visit and had excellent food and a warm welcome. Glad The Shoulder couldn 't take us as it turned out. Ver carta

First visit since the pub reopened . Always loved the Shoulder and pleased to report it is back to its best. Warm welcome from the staff, great service and food and a roaring fire. What’s not to like? We really enjoyed our meals. The Korean chicken burger is amazing and the beer sourdough it is served on is so tasty. We also had an onion bhaji burger and a fish goujon sandwich. The Timothy Taylor Landlord beer deserves a special mention. Would recommend and will definitely be back.

We booked our Xmas eve celebration for 8pm in early November as family were travelling from London. Then just this week we received a text to say they start serving food at 7pm and have cancelled our table. We are too late to find another place. They are all booked up. I received a call from manager who said the booking should never have been taken. That’s not my fault. We are really disappointed with this extremely poor respect for their customers. All the manager could say was sorry for ruining our Xmas Eve. Pathetic.

First time since reopening and always enjoyed it previously. Unfortunately this evening was disappointing. I ordered cheese and onion pie and my husband the beef shin. The food was very well presented and the beef shin had a nice taste although a little dry. The cheese and onion pie was overcooked and served with what seemed to be frozen chips. I finished with a latte which was so strong and bitter it was undrinkable. The staff were attentive and replenished drinks when empty. Unfortunately we won’t be returning for food which is.a shame having visited for many years. Ver carta
