The Shoulder of Mutton in Derbyshire Dales

As soon as we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. Felt like I had known Lynn for years. Room was spotless. Food was gorgeous. Breakfast was delicious! Definitely be staying here again in the future

Lovely food, very reasonably priced and great allergen menu showing gluten and dairy free options, which are plentiful. Friendly and helpful staff with good service. Great location in the lovely village of Bradwell. Also good for a quick stop for drinks and chips after a long walk.

Very lovely and cozzy hotel, I had dinner here and it was cooked professionally, very delicious The staff were so helpful, kind and welcoming The room was good size, all facilities available I really felt home and the staff made me feel like 8m with my family

Good food great beer, friendly staff and locals

Very nice and not too expensive place to have dinner

Room big enough for very very small people but 6ft4 and 5.ft7couple not very suitable couldn't sit on loo without having the door open , especially when we know they had much bigger bedrooms available, very very bad business, we will not recommend this establishment to anyone.

Friendly local pub. Great food at reasonable price. Loved their Sunday roast.

Very good atmosphere. Staff very helpful. Menu choices to suit most needs. Beer selection good. Pricing reasonable. Well worth a visit.

No fresh vegetables, frozen and tinned. Yuk

Good standard pub food with great service- nice atmosphere. Busy even on a Tuesday.

We had dinner, stayed for the night and breakfast in the morning. A great place all around. Felt comfortable and at home. Very well run establishment;

really nice inn to stay at ...rooms are good size and very comfortable...very friendly and welcoming staff and owners ...great food and in a great little village

Visiting Bradwell, the Shoulder of Mutton was the best pub we discovered on our travels! Great food, quick service and a killer pint of Guinness all for a reasonable price. Bar staff were friendly and efficient. Would whole heartedly recommend!

Can't recommend enough. Enjoyed our short stay at this really well run hotel and pub.

Just went for something to eat during our motorcycle trip ,and that was nice.

Great pub to visit staff friendly and polite

We really enjoyed our meal at the shoulder of mutton. Excellent food. We are fairly regular here. Quite surprised to see someone openly vaping at the bar. I know it's not illegal, but very antisocial.

My wife and I both had the Beef Sunday Lunch the food was first class and is highly recommended. The staff were welcoming and friendly we will definitely be making a return visit.

Nice relaxing pub, away from the hustle and bustle of tourists

Great pub. Very good selection of beers and tasty food. Highly recommended.

Brilliant place to stay for good walks. Very comfortable and clean room. Good food and very accommodating for a gluten free diet. Delicious breakfast. Extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Thank you!

Came a stayed night was lovely Food was really nice and staff was friendly came as my grandmother used to be landlady there she would not have been disappointed still a great pub x Breakfast was lovely also

Great place. Had Sunday lunch , food and service excellent..couldnt fault it. Will definitely go back .

Lynne and Nick put on a gorgeous spread for my mum's funeral. They were very warm and welcoming and couldn't do enough for us.

We had a lovely 3 night stay. Lynne was a brilliant host - nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended 👍

Absolutely epic food, great service staff, and so attentive nothing to much trouble for them Large selection of beers and gins

Spent a night here whilst on a walking trip. Great stay, no issues at all. Cooked breakfast in the morning was excellent! Would return.

Fairly modern pub on the main road.

Great stay. Excellent sleep in a lovely setting. Staff really welcoming and the food & drink definitely hit the spot after walking!

Speedy service and good beer selection

Called in in our campervan staying the evening couldn’t be more helpful

The food was delicious and we had a Sunday lunch and would recommend to all

A great pub, serving delicious, uncomplicated food. Booked a table for 4 and had a great time, really friendly staff and a very cosy atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Didn't have time to eat and nearly all tables were reserved. Beers, coffee and Rum all excellent as we're the staff. Will return ASAP.

Excellent people and a very clean hotel! Well cooked and good quality meals! We will go back there again!

All aspects good and dog friendly

Dog friendly place with basic pub food. Just be careful not to be seated right next to the toilet door.

Wonderful Sunday food, nice staff, good place

Lovely place to stay - we stayed for just a night before a wedding elsewhere and the staff and breakfast were lovely! The room was roomy and the bathroom nice and clean! Would recommend :)

Lovely local pub. Good selection of beers. Friendly staff.

Lovely place for a family meal out. Great traditional pub food with very generous portions. Also very dog friendly!

Can't complain yet, as I'm really fussy about food always been fabulous.

Lovely landlady and landlord, food was the best home cooked food we've had in ages, great service by friendly staff, comfortable and clean room. Great value and location.

Lovely place to stay and staff were really nice. Some. Rooms have balconies which were so nice to set on during the evening/morning and look into the hills Food wasn't avaliable when we stayed so can't comment on that. Managed to get some breakfast just down the road though.

Great little pub in the countryside. The cheapest Bacardi and coke I've had in the UK at £3.80.

Great pub! Nice food and good beer, helpful & friendly too. Can’t ask for much more 😊

What a wonderful place. There were 8 of us plus a high chair, and they couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. All the staff are friendly, especially the land lady. The food is proper nice home cooked food, top quality and very reasonably priced. I can't recommend this place enough. Wish we lived nearer so could come more often.

Highly recommend this venue, staff and food was excellent 👌

Superb steak pie and excellent Ale,dog friendly lovely staff.

Nice place and staff friendly for the most part. Room was nice if a bit small for two.

Started two nights. Comfortable and we were well looked after by Lynne and her team

Excellent food served by friendly staff. Also a good place to go if you just want to have a drink.

We didn't eat there but tge staff were so helpful and friendly . Rooms clean and had everything u needed from hot drinks to toiletries...highly recommended

Excellent traditional pub grub at very reasonable prices and served with a smile. Friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

Bradwell. Shoulder of mutton excellent

Stayed at Eden Vale Campsite and had a pint or more most nights of my week long stay. The pub opened when it said it would and didn't close earlier than advertised, so it was worth the walk, unlike so many other pubs now! The beer was kept really well , to me, the most important selling point! Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable about local things to do which was great. The locals were a great bunch too! Dog friendly as well! A top British pub! I will be back! Thank you!

The location is stunning. I had an early start and as breakfast doesn't start until 8.30 - I can't comment on food. I arrived to a closed pub at 4.30pm. Doesn't open until 5 so I didn't have long to wait but was desperate for the loo after a 4 hour drive!! Rooms were exceptionally clean, spacious and well kitted out. Can get noisy but they provide ear plugs

Friendly staff great food and very well organised for social distancing

Excellent service with a caring and efficient young waitress Very good food and tasty beer Lovely pub we definitely recommend

very friendly and helpful service made to feel very welcome would definitely consider staying here again , good value and very nice and clean accommodation,

Amazing place. Dog and child friendly. The staff are incredible

Great pub with good few beers to drink. Little outside terrace , and a park over the wall for kids

The landlord and landlady were very accommodating for two humans and a dog who despite being usually well behaved started barking at every other dog that came into the pub. Allowed us to enjoy our meals (which were excellent) in peace round the back and still gave us great service despite us being a bit of a handful. Much appreciated hospitality. Thank you again.

Really lovely local pub. We were made to feel welcome by staff and enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was lovely too - highly recommend the camambert starter to share!

Great village pub. Had 3 guest ales on . We sat outside after a stunning morning walk around bradwell and surrounding area.

Nice pub, lovely welcoming bar staff. We arrived as a hungry party of six and although they were full in the resteraunt the staff kindly arranged another table to be set for us. The food was lovely, we had to send the steak back because it was well done rather than rare, but it was sorted out straight away so no problems there 😊

stayed overnight this sunday and had an amazing experience, land lady was lovely and very welcoming, the room was clean and had a nice balcony. REALLY enjoyed our stay thank you !

Clean, comfortable and very hospitable place to stay! The staff were all very friendly, chatty and attentive! The food was spot on and the stag room was perfect - slept like a log! Will definitely be returning!

Went on Easter Sunday for a meal, absolutely delicious, very welcoming , nice staff, can't recommend it enough

Fantastic hotel within a beautiful pub. Clean, tidy and decorated tastefully. Wonderful staff and great location.

Retired female Travelling alone for first time and made welcome and safe by lovely owners. Highland room with balcony, comfortable bed and all needed for an overnight stay. Ate in their restaurant. Great food at very reasonable prices. Dogs welcome with owners, staying in their room.

Great pub and superb Sunday lunch ...really nice friendly staff

Fairly standard "pub food" but good service, and a nice pool table

Lovely people. The place, the food, everything was perfect 😊😊 Look forward to visiting again. Jenny and Mark. PS. Can you order some Ghosts for next time 😅

A very welcoming place to stay! Great rooms and showers. Very friendly staff who communicate really well!

One of the cleanest hotels I've ever stayed! Absolutely fantastic stay at the Shoulder of Mutton, very well kept, lovely and very helpful staff, all in a gorgeous part of the peak district. Lynne went above and beyond, thank you! (Best salmon and eggs ever!) X

Only pub in the village that does food. Reasonable food and nice beers. Friendly staff

Stopped here February 2022 hope to stop February 2023 great place

Great pub, great food, great beer and great hosts

Very warm welcome, warm, clean, comfy & cosy rooms. Breakfast excellent. Definitely will be going back 😊

Great pub a hidden gem in Bradwell

We stayed here for my birthday and the staff were all wonderful. Genuinely cared about and always greeted with smiles. The food was excellent, the room was really nice, the wait staff all looked like they thoroughly enjoyed working here. We will definitely be back when the buses are on their summer timetable!!

Fabulous staff amazing food, best pie 🥰

A Lovely family run pub and b&b. Accommodating with quality meals and portion sizes all at affordable prices. Highly recommend booking for your Sunday Lunch the perfect place to dine after a stroll in the countryside!

Such lovely, accomodating and friendly people who run this pub. Good service, excellent food and extremely good value for money. Thank you for finding us a table last night even though you were very busy.

attended an 80th birthday party last friday, lovely night and good buffet

Great hosts, nothing too much trouble! Lovely comfortable room, great location for exploring the Peaks, would book again.

Fantastic service, welcoming hospitality in a lovely authentic pub. Food was prepared and cooked in house which was delightful.

Great food and great beer. Friendly staff.

Lovely pub and room for an overnight stay. However. Unfortunately I had zero sleep due to the paper thin walls and the room next door having the world snoring championships. In what should be the perfect location for a quiet getaway further soundproofing or at least some complimentary ear plugs are desperately needed. I heard every movement, conversation and toilet trip, and of course the thunderous snoring all through the night. Also, from the early hours the local church bells chime every 15 minutes! As nice as the room was, the pub, the food and the hosts and a lovely location, I can’t recommend it and would not return.

Loved our visit. Good beer. Super food served by a very friendly waitress. Best of all dog friendly. We will be back.

This hotel is situated among some lovely scenery, as we could see from our bedroom window. That is not what makes it special however, the hosts and staff were exceptional throughout and lovely to talk to as well. We asked for somewhere to chill the milk for our baby and by the time we arrived Lynne had bought a small fridge for the room. I hope we will return one day soon. Thanks again.

Avoid like the plague. Owner is a miserable bloke, pub was empty. Better options elsewhere. Tip if you don’t have a choice and end up here: Don’t call the owner lad, he doesn’t like that.

Lovely meal and very good prices. Staff really friendly and helpful

Cosy country pub, with great decor. Especially the themed rooms done out very nice. Ours was The stag room- which I fell in love with & trying to replicate at home.! Room/bathroom very clean. Staff friendly, helpful & welcoming. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Food was great - Gutted couldn’t stay for breakfast. Lovely sleepy village, good location for exploring the many Peak District attractions. Downside : Needs more solid soundproofing- the walls were paper thin. We couldn’t hear anything from the busy pub downstairs, but could hear everything in the room next door - crystal clear. The people may as well have been in the same room with us. That’s without the Toilet flush, kettle, hairdryer ect……and then at 6am woken by extreme snoring. Absolutely disappointed as I fell in love with this place & hate to have leave a bad comment. Will return one day for food/drinks, but wouldn’t stay again.

Ive always wanted to have a meal here, unfortunately on the day, they were holding the carnival, so will definitely have to call again

Nice place, great service and really nice food. I had the lasagne and it was like a home made one, I really enjoyed it. My party and I hadn’t booked and they accommodated us and found a table no problems. I’d recommend The Shoulder of Mutton if your in the area.

Friendly and helpful staff nice village pub well worth a vist

Food was excellent. Staff very polite.

Great food friendly staff can't complain.
