Had a great family lunch here at the weekend. Highly recommend their signature dish of shoulder o' mutton. One gentleman of 92 years in our party exclaimed it was the best lamb he'd ever eaten. Portions were really generous and prices very reasonable. Thoroughly recommend.
Excellent rooms with lovely underfloor heating. Pub food was very good and breakfast was excellent. Will definitely return and recommend to friends.
Came for a Sunday roast in the evening and was pleasantly surprised. There was a couple local beers on and the steak and ale pie was really good. We sat by the proper fire in a old fireplace which is hard to come across now in all the newly renovated pubs in the area. Would be good if they could have a couple more local smaller brewery ales on, but may be due to who owns them. Will be back and can't believe I haven't been here before!
Staying down the road at Maustin Park, they have a limited menu on a Wednesday and wasn't feeling the bar atmosphere so jumped in the car to come and dine here, wanted some proper pub grub.Perfect experience! Fantastic service (Wed 20th August 5pm) young girl dark hair in a plait. Food was exceptional. Lovely atmosphere, chilled and dog friendly. Thanks for making my one night stay great. I've put 5 stars for the room, I'm not a actually staying here but expect them to be as good as the eatery xxx
WOW an amazing traditional pub with lovely beers, in a lovely location close to Harrogate and York . The food especially Mutton is excellent, service is very good. All the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean , under floor heating, plenty of hot water for the shower. One of the best accommodation plus pub we have ever stayed in.
Fantastic pub, really friendly and welcoming! Had a lovely fire on when I was there and the room I stayed in was so nice! Super clean and well equipped. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again! 10/10
For the last fourteen years I have rated the Shoulder of Mutton 5*, how quickly things can change. Kate has disappeared without trace and a new face, Sarah, now seems to be running the place. There remain plenty of gluten free options on the menu, but one has to wonder for how long. There has often been some background music, but always at a minimal non-interfering level. Our previous visit, it was at a historic high. Today when we arrived it was back at a comfortable, discrete level. Part way through our wait for our lunch to arrive it was turned up, forcing all the customers to speak louder in competition. I am autistic. I struggle against being overwhelmed when trying to block out an excess of stimuli. I don't expect to leave a meal out more tired than when I arrived. As we settled up Sarah asked if everything was OK with the meal. Yes, I replied, except for the increase in the level of the music. The "oh I am sorry" was so insincere that even I could spot it.
Stayed here as a last-minute decision recently and am glad I did. Staff were welcoming, the downstairs room was amazing and full of lovely little touches, spotlessly clean and could not fault a thing. The breakfast was also really good and lots of choice available. I will 100% be returning next time we visit Yorkshire.
Called in last minute this evening asked for a table for 4. The landlord could’ve have been more helpful trying to squeeze us in. The service was spot on and very welcoming. Then after being seated we saw the landlord giving an elderly couple the most thoughtful, caring respectful treatment you could ask. Absolutely top class. To finish the evening off with very tasty delicious meals all around. Well done.
