The Shoulder Of Mutton in Calderdale

Wonderful local pub with first class food and service. I have been back many times and it is always fantastic.

Well below parr. About the only thing you can say is "It was edable". A highly priced menu, indifferently presented. £15 for one flavour sausage and mash, in a bowl, swimming in thick gravy....must try a lot harder.

Lovely local pub serving delicious food! We opted for the steak pie and it was amazing! The owners and staff are very friendly and the local regular customers are charming characters. Well worth a visit if needing food and refreshment after a walk. I would advise booking a table in advance.

Fabulous staff, delicious food, and surprisingly affordable! This place will be a new regular stop for us.

Great pub, good quiz night in aid of local search and rescue

Just had a lovely evening here to celebrate a family birthday. Fantastic food, great choice, and fun entertainment with a charity quiz afterwards (although it was way too difficult for me!) Very friendly atmosphere and dog friendly, offering a doggie cookie when we got there. They even offer a Blue Light Card discount on food prices- I’ve never known a small independent business offer this and it was really appreciated-thank you!

What a super friendly pub. Ordered steak and suet pudding, and roast beef dinner, after chocolate orange cheesecake. Could not fault , absolutely fab food. Dog friendly. Would recommend .

Food tasty had southern fried chicken atmosphere amazing attention to detail by staff defo be coming out with family from Canada for Christmas table booked 👌🏽🎉

A 3star food hygiene rating is not very good for a place like this. Much better since the management changed, that woman before really only cared about her pals. It’s still dowdy inside though and the atmosphere in the beer garden can be awful with kids and dogs running around.

Visited here tonight for food and drinks I ordered the fish and chips and my friend had the southern fried chicken burger. The food was amazing and very fresh. The pub is very different to how it was in the past. We had such an enjoyable evening even so that the gent behind the bar managed to convince us to stay and take part in the charity quiz that was on. We didn’t win but we had a fantastic evening and would definitely recommend.

Easily the best pub in Mytholmroyd in terms of an authentic experience. They have a focus on sourcing quality, local ingredients and their drink selection is varied a suits various tastes. The food is great and the menu varies throughout the year. The staff and owners at the pub work hard to make a positive impact on the community while be welcoming visitors from further afield.

The Shoulder of Mutton is by far the best pub in Mytholmroyd. It has a great selection of drinks, a diverse (and seasonal) menu, and super friendly staff. It is great for locals and very welcoming to new customers (as well as pet friendly). It has cosy indoor seating with an open fire, which is great in the winter, and a lovely pub garden next to the river, which is perfect in the summer. I would highly recommend this pub if you are in the Mytholmroyd/Hebden Bridge/ Todmorden area.

Clearly a really lovely pub with a nice food menu. The owners clearly put a lot of effort in to make the place nice. Shame about the barman - extremely rude, flippant, completely uninterested in the job. Never met anyone ruder to be honest. Completely put us off and we wont be back He was ginger, glasses, distinctive eyes. Such a shame Won’t be recommending to friends

I just had my birthday party upstairs in the function room of the Shoulder of Mutton pub in Mytholmroyd. I just cannot recommend this place highly enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. For a starters, the Landlords, Mark & Oscar just could not have been better hosts and they were so incredibly welcoming, warm, accommodating and generous. They made the whole experience absolutely delightful for myself and my guests. They had even commissioned a local Baker to make me a delicious Birthday cake and my favourite butterfly buns. Also, I really like the function room because it has lots of windows, so it was very nice at the beginning of the Summer evening because the sunshine was streaming through the windows and then later, as it got darker, it was just a very lovely atmosphere and a very relaxed nice space to be in, with a bar upstairs just for us, which was amazing. I also love going to this pub for lunch because I really like to see Mark and Oscar and I enjoy the food, the decor of the place, but mainly because the atmosphere is so easy-going and relaxed. Even though I live in Huddersfield, about 20 minutes drive from Mytholmroyd, it’s become my favourite Pub. I’ve been there twice for lunch and really enjoyed it.

Thank u so Mutch for providing our wedding meal for my family the service was excellent the food was excellent and the atmosphere was superb a truly wonderful experience was had by all thank u so much 5 stars all round ..Paul and Emma 👍

Super dog friendly, staff were lovely and helpful. Lovely starter garlic mushrooms. I had the veggie tart Sunday roast ... Treats for dogs on the bar and plenty of water bowls for them... Plenty of parking .

Good pub handy for rail station.

Only a 3 star food hygiene rating? They kept that one quiet.

Excellent food ! And great staff.

Great food, lovely surroundings, friendly staff and good atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Take out fish and chips tonight - absolutely delicious! 😊 ready in 15 minutes from ordering. Best I’ve had in a long time! 👍

Popped in here on Father's day when looking for somewhere to eat that wasn't packed and was pleasantly surprised to find this place fairly quiet. Not sure why as we loved it. The food was really good. We all really enjoyed our meals. The staff were friendly and helpful and the pub itself is lovely and quaint with a nice cosy atmosphere.

Booked for my daughters 21st. Very helpful owners/staff. Allowed us in to decorate how we wanted. Staff on hand at all times at the bar with brilliant friendly service. We also ordered a grazing buffet, made up of delicious, quality, and an ample amount of food. Thank you shoulder of mutton.

Booked their private function room for my 21st birthday and had an amazing time, the room was brilliant and so were the staff. Would definitely recommend. Thank you☺️

Very friendly welcome. Excellent choice of beers. Lovely outdoor seating overlooking the stream.

Really nicely decorated pub, staff couldn't do enough to help and the grub/ drink selection was all solid and well priced. Exactly what you'd expect from a traditional pub.

Held my dads wake here the staff were amazing couldn’t do enough to help. We had pie and peas which were beautiful definitely recommend 10/10

Pleasantly quiet in the garden overlooking the river, no traffic noise.

Excellent food and drink. Great service. 😃

Great local bar, good menu available. A great beer garden next to the river.

Lovely atmospheric Inn with delicious food and great service. Loved it

Visited recently on a trip out was recommended to us by staff of local small supermarket,we had a great time an lovely food,bar staff and locals so friendly nice surroundings an lovely beer garden this pub is how all should be , thanks for great evening will be back 😀

Popped in this evening for my tea, had the bacon cheese burger which was absolutely phenomenal, followed down by their chocolate brownie which was also very nice, 1 too many pints of cidre and all for a very reasonable price. The bloke behind the bar was very friendly and the ambience of the whole venue was extremely pleasant (hence the extra pint) would definitely recommend my new local!

visited friday after the refurb for the 1/2 price food offer.food even at half price was poor and overcooked, and nothing to suggest a refurb just kie the dusty miller trys to cater for everyone so a mix of pub locals and resturant and please fix the broken floor tile sorry if i came across as critical.............visited again on saturday we all chose different meals which were all very tasty, i would reccomend the gammon very nice and so much food. great food and service

I’m sat here still in the shoulder of mutton in Mytholmroyd writing this review because of how impressed I am! The cheese and onion pie is fantastic! Home made chips with it. Enjoying it so much thank you very much! Good value also! Good portions😋

The new decorations have really spruced up the place. I had the hunter chicken which a new addition to the menu and my friend had a steak both were delicious (and huge). The staff were helpful and friendly. Everything is well priced in a lovely relaxing atmosphere

The food was nice but small portions a long wait for the food for the price very expensive come on stop putting chips in silly metal pots not impressed will not be back my burger and chips left me feeling like I just had a starter for the price more portions

I don't think I will be visiting this pub again. One of the regulars decided to light the fire because the pub was cold. Only to be told off for using the wood next to the fire place. Come on management look after your customers. Keep them happy and they will come back for more. Wood is available for free if you ask people.

Good staff nice drink yes nice staff Christmas drink Christmas day happy family see message yes know shoulder Good job today day nice Heather

Had a great time back next year for the shots.

Great food and service as always...Many thanks!

Friendly staff, great food and beer. Lovely pub all round

Roast beef and gravy with the giant Yorkshire pud was great but the mash peas and carrots where not served with it....chef ran out apparently. Otherwise fine apart from grown men screaming at lads in shorts on the TV.

Amazing. Friendly relaxed atmosphere. Fantastic food and superb service. Lovely locals. Would highly recommend!

Lovely local pub with a great atmosphere good selection of beers and a good food 🍲 menu.

Lovely pub, food was great and the staff very friendly.

Had a day out in Hebden Bridge and took a walk along the canal to Mytholmroyd and stumbled across The Shoulder of Mutton. Firstly the bar staff were lovely and welcoming and secondly the food was fantastic. I chose one of the specials which was the meatball sub and it was delicious and the chips were gorgeous, you could tell they were homemade. My husband had the pie which looked gorgeous and he said it was really tasty and our friend had the fish and chips which was huge and he said was lovely. The presentation was lovely and the food was piping hot and really good value. I would definitely recommend this place, thoroughly enjoyable meal.

Came here for a work leaving event. Beautiful food, and amazingly quick service. Staff were incredibly cheerful and friendly. We also got a nice surprise as a band was practicing some of their songs while we were there. The place was a bit quiet, so the atmosphere could have been better.

Nipped in for a spot of lunch after over a 20+ year absence. What a change to the old place! Great food, cracking outdoor area by the side of the river and really friendly staff Try the hot beef sarnie if you are hungry. Worth a visit

Stop on way to camping site for a meal and a drink .Food was lovely . good choice and well priced . Very friendly helpful staff . Garden seating with view of river a lovely place to stop for a drink

Old world pub with great outdoor space. But only bench seats which didn't suit my parents, both 90+ , indoor was steps and a long walk to a table so we had a drink and left.

Enjoyed our cooked breakfast today, friendly attentive staff, lovely hot tasty quality food served and lovely strong coffee. Dog friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend and we will definitely be back.

The staff seemed disinterested and lacked basic knowledge about the menu. It took an eternity for someone to take our order, and when they finally did, they got it wrong. Throughout the evening, they were inattentive, not checking on our table and ignoring our requests for more drinks or condiments. The menu had a variety of dishes, but the reality was a far cry from the descriptions.The accompanying vegetables were unappetizing and bland, clearly lacking. The fish and chips were greasy and lacked any flavor. The vegetarian options were uninspired. The prices have skyrocketed - the prices were ridiculous for the quality of food and service we received.

What has happened? Used to be great and sadly the food we had was up there as one of worst we have had. Couldn't even finish it and I never leave food. Tiny portions (I am not greedy) and expensive too. Tiny all day breakfast for £10.00 consisted of 1 bacon (that was contaminated with cheese flavour), 1 sausage that wasn't great quality, 1 has brown, 2 small, mushrooms, 1 slice of burnt toast with no butter, 1 grilled tomato, a spoon full of beans and 1 egg. Wish I took a photo. The gluten free roast beef sandwich was dry, tasteless and not fresh and virtually inedible. Very dissapointed.

Amazing atmosphere good food friendly staff

First of all, the entire place stank like the toilets. Secondly, the staff were discussing people. And thirdly and worst of all I found public hair in my drink. I will never go back to that vile place.

If I could give 0 stars I would! I wanted to have a relaxing drink with my friends but the staff were very unprofessional! And keep telling us we needed to finish our drinks and leave. They were drinking while serving and I saw them reuse a glass by just rinsing it under the tap… This is unacceptable. The barman was very rude, and kept coughing without covering his mouth, normally I wouldn’t care but I was sat at a the bar and the barman was directly in-front of me. Sputile directly in my face. Never coming back again, except with a mask!

The shoulder is under new management so we we hoping to experience lovely food and a nice atmosphere. However the food was dreadful and the portions were tiny. We waited ages for the food to even arrive and sort of wished they didn’t bother as the plates/cutlery were not clean and the food tasted like cheap microwaved grub. I felt sorry for the young bar staff having to serve this stuff. The beer was ok but quite expensive. Sadly a disappointing experience compared to the Dusty in Mytholmroyd and the Robin in Crag which are miles better in every way

1st time visiting as staying for a couple of nights. Sat outside over looking the river until it rained. Moved inside and ordered food. Both areas very comfortable and food was delicious. Hot beef sandwich with hand cut chips n onion gravy. Well worth the visit.

We were a group of 7 having 7 different lunchtime dishes. There is a seniors menu and regular menu. Our group ordered from both menus. Even though there is a digitised till for orders we were told of 2 dishes which were unavailable up to 10 minutes after ordering and paying for our meals. Unfortunately, the meals were not all served at the same time. This resulted in quite a long wait for the last 2 meals with no explanation just an apology. Staff were very pleasant and helpful but it felt to us that the menu was too big for them to cope with. We would have appreciated a smaller choice of items with everything being available and served at the same time. Portion sizes were adequate and the food was mostly tasty with the prawn salad being particularly good and well presented. We would visit again but would really appreciate our recommendations being heard, thank you.

Recently under new ownership the Shoulder of Mutton offers nice food and four real ales from brewers in Yorkshire, Lancashire, London and Devon. The only downside was fairly poor customer service from the young bar staff, had to repeat three times my food order and after a wait of 35 minutes we were told a table of 18 had ordered food, hence the delay, would have been nice to know that at the point of ordering.

Lovely little spot, went with friends for some food and a catch up and we all had a great time. Food wasn’t overpriced, but it was delicious! And the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Definitely going again soon xx

The new management and the team handled our team with class Oscar and Mark thank you for the hospitality enjoyed every minute

Very quiet, but that's Tuesday evening in Mytholmroyd. Hope it manages to stay open.

Easy to miss if your walking along the canal, next to the train station. Handy watering hole.

Oops sorry .. slow service .. food arrived cold had to be reheated.. not the best left most of it ....just didn't taste of anything sorry

Popped in here for lunch while completing an errand in Hebden Bridge. I got three starters- brie, veggie dirty fries and the bruschetta. Service was quite quick and friendly. The pub has a lovely cosy atmosphere. That's all I have to say on the matter.

A pub with a very pleasant atmosphere and great service. A good selection of cask ales and the food was excellent. Conveniently places just outside the station. We loved it and will go back.

Nice place, warm, cozy, following a long train journey. The dog was also made immensely welcome with a bowl of water and treats. Pie week meant a cheese and onion pie, which was awesome.

Friends called and said their food was absolutely amazing and one commented “the best muscles they’ve ever tasted” they had a lovely evening. Staff very welcoming, well presented food. They will definitely be returning! 😊

Let 10 of us in at short notice, greeted by friendly staff. However, I wouldn’t recommend this pub for big groups, with about 30 minutes between the first meal out and the last, with only a couple of other tables in. The vegetarians within the group were disappointed with a kids standard meal, paying the same price (£12.95) as better performing meat dinner. No mention of it being vegan, with no Yorkshire pudding or mash included - Yorkshire puddings were amended, but meals were finished by the time they came out. Would have been more acceptable at significantly lower price. Highlighting that staff members were nice and I’m sure it would be a better experience with a smaller group. We wouldn’t normally complain, but overall disappointed with food quality and timings.

Great food, a good pint and just the right atmosphere for a Saturday afternoon family watching football

Fantastic Sunday dinner! Highly recommend. All the food is fresh; gorgeous roast potatoes. And the gravy is superb

Good food at sensible prices. Friendly staff.

So warm and welcoming. Great food, great people. Summer time is amazing!!! the huge beer garden is in the sun all day! Bruicy bonus. Great nights organised throughout the year quiz’s bands etc and they now have an amazing events room you can book for private parties which has just been fully refurbished. What’s not to like ❤️ well worth a visit 👍🏼

Amazing food! 10 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We've been twice this week and the food is exceptional!!! Thank you so much!! Very full & satisfied bellies! Thank you for also looking after us all so well! What an amazing time we had!!! Xxx

Nice local pub serving a good, straightforward roast meal. Staff all very friendly. Good value

Such a lovely and homely pub.Only had drinks,but next time will try the food.Girl behind the bar very welcoming.

Visited this place for the first time, and was impressed. It is such a beautiful, homely place to have a drink and a meal. If you are in the area, don't miss out.

16 members of the Halifax Beekeepers Association had lunch at the Shoulder of Mutton recently. Good "pub grub" in a convivial and welcoming atmosphere.

Always great to come back to the Shoulder of Mutton, had an excellent pie and sticky toffee pudding!

We stopped at this pub by chance on the way home from a weekend away. It’s got a car park, large beer garden and looks to have been recently done up! It was nice and busy but we got a table. The staff were really friendly and the food was fantastic. We had a mixed bag of pie, burger, kids meals and sides and they were all really good. Proper homemade food. We were really impressed with the prices too. Will definitely visit again if we ever come to the area again. Definitely recommend!

Nice pub, friendly locals. Really good portion sizes. Beer garden at the rear. Good selection of drinks to be had.

Me and my partner were traveling around Yorkshire as we are Londoners and we decided to stop at this pub. We made the right choice the cheese and tomato pizza was one of the best we had. The cheese was very tangy and the gentleman who served us was very helpful. He even fulfilled my request for having the spiciest sauce and that was indeed my kind of sauce, being grown up with food that contains masala in it. Thank you very much and if I'm passing we will pop in again.

Nice pub with a cracking outdoor seating area. Will definitely be back.

Called in by chance and we got a very warm welcome by the staff and locals alike, we often visit this part of Yorkshire so we will without doubt return, a very welcoming place

Absolutley no consideration for local residents having to put up with blaring music all sunday in the beer garden! Worse still, supposed to end at 6pm but still blaring out almost 8pm - really inconsideratet the older residents that live around. I'm contacting council anyway.

Nice little pub, friendly, really excellent food. We'll be back.

Great lunch.All the family really enjoyed our lunch today. Great food and friendly atmosphere. Thankyou to all concerned. Chris Jackson.

Nice staff A great beer garden good beer and good food what more could you ask for.

Called in for a couple of pints and tea whilst staying at the campsite up the road. Really friendly bar staff and had some real good banter with a few locals, even performing a bit of magic which was 'The Mutts Nuts' (if you were...

Really nice cosy and well appointed pub with a decent menu. Locals can be a little loud but that's what makes a pub in my opinion. Will definately be back when in town, it's a short walk from the Caravan and Motorhome site so a great option if you're staying there.

Walked from the Camping and Motorhome Club site a little under a mile away. Nice surroundings, pleasant staff, and a welcome absence of fruit machines and canned music though there was tv tuned to a news programme with the sound turned down. Underwhelmed by the...

Good place, great staff, need strongbow on tap. Ideal beer garden for river view and plenty of bench/grass area for family/friends groups.

Me and a few friends called into the shoulder of mutton in Mytholmroyd for a few drinks and some food. The bar staff were so friendly and very efficient. We ordered some food and when it arrived it was absolutely lovely. I would highly recommend...

Decent enough pub with a reasonable selection of real ales and friendly staff.

Well done Dawn you packed em in on Saturday, you deserve a bumper day. Bernard Brittain

Lovely staff, great beers and a good atmosphere. Live soccer on TV.

Much improved, food is brilliant pub grub if thats what you're after. Two weekends in a row with family and friend. We had excellent ciabattas packed with fillings, excellent fish and chips. Beer garden is amazing and gets the sun all afternoon 🍺 🍟 🐟
