Shoulder of Mutton in Calderdale

Busy, atmospheric, comfy, good beer selection

Superb Beer & Food. Ideally located in the centre of Hebden Bridge, Shoulder of Mutton is well worth a visit for excellent food from an award winning Chef and 4 Real Ales, including on my visit a favourite of mine Fullers London Pride.

My friend and I had a day off and came to Hebden Bridge. We had lunch at this wonderful pub and the wine and the steak and ale pie were absolutely gorgeous. It was busy and it had a nice atmosphere. Plenty of locals and the service was good. Would highly recommend for a lovely lunch if out and about in Hebden Bridge!

Decent pints, good prices, warm atmosphere.

Seemed like a nice enough place. Landlord as a guest ale was a plus. Ordered the fish butty - utterly awful, stay well clear - no butter, no tartare (had to add mayo), extremely greasy and way too much batter - really disappointed.

The wife and I had a Sunday lunch here. Cannot fault it. Good food, good portions, good value, good ambience and great staff.

Ordered two dishes. One soup and sandwich and some white bait. Soup was cool, sandwich was actually a uncut breakfast muffin with cheap grated cheese with very few onions,and had hairs in it. The whitebait had my wife suffering from indigestion and tummy upset twenty minutes after we left . Won't be returning 😔.

Didn't get to enjoy the pub, bar staff served three people that arrived after us, plenty of welcoming pubs, like The White Lion where all 7 of us are now sat drinking whilst I type this review!

Lovely home cooked food. Smallish bar area which was busy when we were there but quick attentive staff

Weekend away, Nipped in to use the toilet and decide to stay for lunch. So pleased we did, food and service was outstanding, so nice to have freshly cooked food. Would defo recommend if your visiting Hebden Bridge the food and staff 👌 top notch

Relaxed atmosphere, great staff,good honest pub grub set in a fabulous location

Was greeted by friendly staff and was made to feel welcome . Lovely pub, clean, and was great to talk to locals.

Amazing food ,reasonably priced. Staff were great. First time in a while my husband enjoyed everything

Went for lunch. I had chicken pate and it was delicious. My husband had a beef burger and chips. Unfortunately he found it pink inside and couldn't eat it. However they did cook another burger for him.

Excellent Service Great Food Best Fish And Chips I've Every had

Lovely meals, the shepherd's pie was fantastic! Great staff, very friendly and very dog friendly.

The beer was good and the staff were friendly. Nice outdoor area on the square. I didn't eat but it looked like a good place for food too.

Superb pub! So glad we decided to end our hike here. Excellent ales, real hand cooked chips, sauce on garlic mushrooms was so delicious...I virtually licked the bowl. Great staff & friendly atmosphere. Outdoor seating by the river. Recommend a visit.

Great place in Hebden for a drink, socialising… great staff

Extremely busy and vibrant pub. Visited for my birthday lunch, and we weren't disappointed! The small fish and chips is delicious and more than enough. My husband had the steak and ale pie, and he also loved it. It took a while for our food to arrive but the pub was extremely busy and it didn't spoil our day. We will definitely revisit.

Great food, really nice friendly place to visit

Very nice food, lovely friendly staff

Bad service, poor food , not surprised the place was empty

This used to be a good pub but not any more. Service was slow. Tables had not been clean to a good standard. Food was cold. Asked for a sauce but not available. Others being served that came in after us. The steak pie had been filled with lots of carrot to cut down the meat content. The staff was absent lot of the time. Long wait to be served. Would not now recomend this site will not go here again. Shame as it used to be a good pub but must have changed landlords.

Friendly efficient staff great quality food

Home made cooking. Nice choice of beers and nice to relax with a pint outside

Lovely beers and a busy pub. Staff handled the long queue at the bar perfectly, everyone got served in order and politely. We didn't try the food but the portions looked generous.

Weekend was short changed £10 Weekend after over charged It seems to be a repeated pattern ripping customers OFF

Very busy, but wait wasn't long, orderly queues and Very efficient bar staff.

Alot of nice food and drink on offer and dog friendly aswell. Thanks for having us.

Best chicken ceasar salad I've ever tasted in my life even better than the one I had in Mexico where they originate Bravo

Me and my hubby stopped here for lunch today, first time, lovely setting right in the heart of hebden Bridge, we had the cheese and onion pie and it was the tastiest we had ever had, with proper chips too which made it all the better, great portions too. Great place to just sit and have a drink and watch the world go by, would definitely return

Lovely pub, great outdoor area overlooking the square. King prawn linguine and steak and ale pie both lovely.

Lovely food. Nice selection of cask ales

The staff in this pub are amazing, cannot do enough for you from the minute you walk in.They are so friendly and genuine we stayed all afternoon.If I could give 6 stars I would.

People watching sat outside with a good pint, just the job.

Dirty glasses,arrogant bar tender,dirty beer garden,would not recommend,stay well clear

Nice bar for drinks reasonable prices nice atmosphere

Central location. Dog friendly. Lovely pub style food. Hot and tasty. Friendly and attentive staff. However, £8.00 for two soda water & lime is a joke. Would have been cheaper to order alcohol. Really enjoyed our meal there but the price of water (soda) would make us look around at other establishments before going back.

Scrummy food. Excellent Staff. Good value. Definitely worth a visit.

Good pub... Neck oil on tap... decent dirty dog with fries 🍻😜

All 4 of us had food I orderd pie chips orderd large one think they was feeding kids very small portion but orderd big

Absolutely delicious cheese pie, like nothing else I've ever tasted 😋

We had a few drinks here the staff were nice and friendly we enjoyed it here it was a nice place to sit down and relax for a bit.

Welcoming place food lovely staff helpful and friendly

Busy pub, by the water. Outside seating, parking around 20 metres away. Real ale, food, dogs allowed TV with sport

We went to the pub yesterday for a family reunion. Waitresses were miserable and rude. Men's toilets were out of service however they didn't turn anyone away. The food was nice but the portions were a joke so this clearly is an issue with the owner and not the kitchen. The chicken milanese was £16 (?) and was nice but it wasn't served with salad, literally a teaspoon worth of rocket, ironically one of the starter servings (macaronni) was much bigger than any of the mains we ordered. Avoid the mozarella, its a tiny flat square with some pesto. Patrons were rather rude too and this rather inebriated new age frik that came to my table asking me -as an immigration officer- if I was Romanian (!?) then went in a rant about the royal family. Honestly worst night in a long time for a hefty price tag. I regret not looking into the reviews prior our visit, seems loads of people are on the same page and the owner just has a tiny fit instead of taking criticism onboard. First time and most certainly last time. Oh, each pint is over £5!

Super busy, so we were very glad to have booked ahead. The menu is gastro pub in style with well cooked pub classics, well presented and piping hot. Dogs welcomed. Very highly recommended

Usually go every 6-8 weeks and have great service good food and pleasant staff. This time staff were uninterested food was not as good and the atmosphere was like the moon. Usually order was taken at table but this time after sitting at table for 10 minutes or so had to get up and order at bar. Even when we left and said thank you to the staff there was no response. With costs going up you would expect a reasonable level of service to keep clientele but obviously not.Time to find a new hostelry

We went for a walk along the canal from Mytholmroyd to Hebden Bridge and called in the Shoulder of Mutton Inn because it is dog friendly. They allowed us to take our GSD into the pub which was fabulous and we ordered food.The food was excellent and my wife had some gluten free food which again was excellent. The staff could not have been better honestly, I would recommend anyone to go here and most definately if you have a dog.

Real Yorkshire drinkers pub. Traditional n stylish

Good menu, pleasant surroundings, helpful staff, good location right in the middle of town. I enjoyed my meal.

Cosy, warm and welcoming. Friendly service and wholesome food. Just a note, large means large portion size here 😀 👍

Went last Sunday for breakfast,was one of the best breakfasts I've ever eaten, food quality is excellent and large portions, will return soon and have dinner, can't recommend this place enough

Food was really good and home cooked

Only went for a drink. It was busy with a great atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

I took my partner for a meal for his birthday Tuesday 13th February 2024 what a lovely place the staff very welcoming,the food was lovely so delicious we had fish and chips.We took our little dog Lexi along with us as this place is dog friendly would strongly recommend very happy with our visit would definitely return.

Great food, in traditional pub surroundings.

On holiday in the UK from Canada. Was there twice, once with a group, and once alone. Great food, good beer, and always made to feel welcome.

Lovely country pub and dog friendly which was great, I had food and it was of the highest quality, would highly recommend and will i will be a repeat customer.

Overpriced small portions long wait for food avoid

Had a really nice small steak pie, chips, mushy peas and Gravy, delicious and more than enough, pastry was so light.

Food was lovely. It was really busy and to wait for the food. Was told we had to go up to the bar for drinks. No table serves.

After a fab walk on Boxing Day, and with time to kill before catching the bus, we were very happy to find a pub that was open and could offer chips, hot drinks and a good pint. Thanks!

Very good experience.Food was amazing Especially the chicken strips. All food was home made. Would definitely come back.From Ryan aged 11.

Lovely pub great meal squeezed us in very busy very impressed

Homely and nice food and atmosphere, only had a drink but ate here before and was nice

Great place in the centre of hebden bridge. Always packed so be prepared to stand. Good prices and great atmosphere.

Great food and top tier service.

Had a lovely meal king prawn with tagliatelle never had so many prawns in a dish, very generous portions. Staff very friendly.

Had a day out with a friend in Hebden Bridge got a bit hungry looked for somewhere to eat found shoulder of mutton lovely pub great atmosphere great food served piping hot and freshly made we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals

Over priced and poor food. Owners need to check their values and the way they treat their staff. Witnessed extremely underhanded practices. Shame on you !! Avoid a lot better establishments

A great pub in a pleasant location. There is a good selection of great tasting food and a wide selection of drinks as well. There is plenty of seating inside and outside and this is a great place to spend an afternoon.

Nice spot in the centre of Hebden Bridge. Good outdoor seating to watch the world go round whilst having a beer or two. Nice inside, good friendly staff. Nice selection of drinks to be had. Didn't try the food.

Lovely pub good staff good food

The food is sooooooo good, friendly service and dog friendly too love it here we will definitely be back

Sat outside for a drink didn't try the food picked a sunny day

Just your straight up standard pub. You can watch football here too which was good. Drinks and food were pretty average. Service was excellent from friendly staff.

Absolutely exceptional food by the amazing Alex and her team. Thanks so much. We had a fabulous afternoon xx

02/10/23: Team day out to Hebden. 01/05/23: amazing food. Really enjoyed it. Great service. I had the steak & kidney pie, wedges, peas, but had to get extra gravy! Great craft ale selection! Dog friendly.

First time visit. Seems a nice pub with pleasant staff. Just had a drink.

Only had one drink staff were very nice, had an enjoyable sit in the sun.

Delicious food and outstanding service thank you 😊

A lovely warm venue with great service & surroundings

We had the small Fish & Chips for lunch. Absolutely delicious. The batter was like a Tempura crispy coating & much nicer. My friend is Coeliac, & it's easy to choose from Menu as it's all marked on every dish.

Amazing food. Fantastic service. Well worth a visit.

We booked a table for 11 and had a very Bad time and waiting for food even though we had pre booked, it was very busy and hard to hear, and they were short on cutely the waitress, end up in tears, and could not cope two young to take a brinks order so up and down we went very bis appointment all round

Great pub with lovely food and a great choice of real ale. Dog friendly.

A wonderful old pub/restaurant in the centre of Hebden Bridge. Inside it has a cosy feel withlog burner evedent ( for the winter). Also has outside seating on the edge of the Market Place, for people watching. We all enjoyed our, perfectly cooked, meals.

Nice enough. Only had a beer a rather nice pint of Vocation. Excellent location over looking the square for a bit of people watching.

Not one for reviews but todays experiance deserves it. Me and my friend met up here with our babys,starting with the staff nothing too much trouble made our afternoon feel at home in there pub. And the food was great , thank you for a brilliant service from you all

Nice pub small inside more geared for drinking & eating outside

We was sat outside here till a big thunder storm happened we rushed inside and ended up having the best roast chicken dinner it was delicious.

Had a decent pint and a lovely steak sandwich. Great staff.

Interesting with historical decor. Enthusiastic young staff and fine food. Oh and fine beers

Have been passed so many times and occasionally had the one drink. Well today we ventured in for food and was not disappointed. Just divine, delicious and delightful Sunday lunch had. Fab service and a definite return is in order.

Quite a cosy place with some outside seating. Small bar can get overrun but the staff were very good dealing with it. Seating can be limited if raining. Very popular at wekeends

Lovely food and coffee, unfortunately we sat outside when the band contest was in town. Felt as if they wanted the table even before we had finished out food...

Boss little place to have a Sunday dinner

Overpriced. Didn't even know what a bitter was so I ended up with some rank tasting slop with essences of friggin lavender.
