the shoulder of mutton in Broadland

Went for lunch with friends and it was amazing…food was great value for money, plenty of menu choice and nicely presented. The two ladies that served us were lovely and very attentive even though they were very busy at times! Will definitely be back ❤️

Met up with family for a late lunch. The liver on the specials board was a hit and the various tapas dishes were amazing, especially the prawns and pork belly. Staff are a credit to the establishment. Will be back soon.

This pub was great, atmosphere was good and staff all really lovely, especially clare behind the bar, she made me some great drinks whilst we chatting about her fish tank and house plants lol :) Food was just delicious, portion size could be reduced maybe, the tapas portions were huge but really good. We ate here 2 nights in a row and would deffo go back if we visit here again. Met some lovely people here and i highly recommend a visit.

Messaged first to make sure we could bring the dog. We were staying locally so we’re on a walk. We arrived a little early so just sat outside till opening. Plenty of choice on drink and food! Popular with locals and the staff were friendly enough. We had a selection of tapas it was very good. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back if in the area again. Use it or lose it! Would also recommend.

We have used this pub a few times over the years but the food has gone downhill sadly. Still great service from the bar staff but the Burito I had was ok and edible but really bland and think they had forgot to put the chicken in One of out party had lasagne that was burnt at the bottom and round the sides so she did not eat it. Everything else was ok but just did not have much seasoning to it and sadly was mediocre.

We found this wonderful pub when we were looking for a Sunday roast whilst on holiday. The food was fantastic and the staff were just so friendly and helpful. One of the friendliest pubs we’ve ever been in topped off with great food. Thanks guys

Sunday lunch for first time, eaten outside although plenty of room inside too.. Friendly and efficient staff and very tasty roast beef lunch served with a Yorkie and good variety of veggies, red cabbage, cauliflower cheese, long stem broccoli, roasted parsnips carrots and potatoes. Managed a tiramisu desert and a crumble and custard between us as well which were both lovely. Not the cheapest lunch (is anywhere nowadays) but very enjoyable, will return 😍

Although we have known about The Shoulder of Mutton for many years, we have never taken that step to visit before as it is sort of "out of our way" for us. Well, we finally did go and we will definitely be back! The food was superb and the service excellent! The specials board looked so tempting. I went for one of my favourite starters, whitebait, and then enjoyed the calves liver. The short redhead tucked into the prawn & crayfish salad followed by the seafood platter. The whitebait was possibly the best I have ever tasted and both mains were delicious! Add a bottle of excellent Rioja and the afternoon was just perfect! Well done to all the staff! Your professionalism makes the Shoulder a very special place indeed!

W e had a wonderful meal with great service here today, both Claire and Daisy are delightful bar staff, both very pretty and very helpful. An old fashioned pub the way villages pubs should be.

We drink locally at the shoulder and love our village pub. We have eaten here a few times, last night myself , my partner and my son all had the fish and chips and it was absolutely lovely. The home made chips were the best I've had in a long time. Definitely worth a visit.

We visited the Shoulder of Mutton while staying with friends who have recently moved to the area. On entering the bar, I was immediately taken with the relaxed, unpretentious and friendly atmosphere. Unlike many pubs these days, there was no agonising wait for drinks as there were plenty of well trained, eager and friendly bar staff. Not that cooperate friendliness where the smile doesn’t quite reach the eyes but genuinely good natured with chat and laughter. All the staff were like this; going out of their way to share a joke and make you feel that service was a pleasure rather than a tedious part of the job. One example of this excellent service was provided by Claire who waited on our table. We were the worst of customers- asking for a cheese board that wasn’t on the menu. There was a slight pause as Claire considered her options, a brief conflab in the kitchen before we were given the green light. Who knows where this was conjured from, but it was substantial to say the least and absolutely delicious. This was all the more impressive as we had recently eaten at Marco Pierre White’s Rudloe Hotel near Bath and the cheese board there was singular-offering one miserly piece of stilton with half a slice of sour dough bread. I have jumped ahead to the dessert when all the food deserves a round of applause. The venison was cooked to perfection by the chef and all the dishes were devoured with great appreciation. Mr White’s staff would certainly benefit from an educational excursion to this establishment. My enjoyment was only marred by one thing. The unexpected pub singer. What he lacked in talent he more than made up for in volume. Enough said.

We went to the pub for Sunday lunch. We were quite shocked with prices, £15.99 for a roast dinner and £7.25 for a glass of rose wine. The staff were very nice but i don't think we will visit this pub again

The wife and I were staying in the village for the weekend so thought we'd try this pub for an evening meal. The food was delicious, huge menu loads to choose from. The pub was buzzing and the staff were absolutely amazing, so friendly and so helpful. Highly recommended.

We have stayed in Norfolk in Brundal but have never eaten at the Shoulder of Mutton, this was recommended to us by the cottage owner and I am glad we took his recommendation. The food was lovely, staff couldn’t do enough for you and pleasant surroundings. We were a party of 9, with 6 adults snd 4 children. All the food was lovely hot and generous portions. I would definitely recommend.

Booked a table for 5 on a summers afternoon in school holiday season. Service friendly and attentive. Food plentiful and tasty. Tapas selection was a great choice. Enjoyed by all thanks!

Really lovely Tapas, reasonably priced, well cooked, tasty and excellent service. Friendly staff good beer, still a decent pub feel with restaurant quality food. Will definitely go back and try some other dishes.

We try and come here as much as possible. Fantastic pub with amazing staff and fellow pub goers. Friendly atmosphere and great selection of ales, ciders and food. Cannot rate it high enough.

Went here after a walk around Strumpshaw Fen. We were expecting standard 'pub grub' but this was really beyond expectations. The lavender ice cream was the highlight for me! Huge thanks to Tracey for kindly driving my girlfriend and I to the train station -...

Absolutely delicious. Lovely friendly staff. Place was packed. Felt totally relaxed. Ate too much - my fault, not theirs. Yum

We arranged a meal for 21 people after a walk. Bob’s team of staff was nothing short of excellent. Of note was Tracy, who was so polite and new just how to steer a large group in the right direction

Husband and I enjoyed a restaurant quality meal here on Saturday 16th October. I chose the venison from the specials board, and my husband chose the moules mariniere also from the specials menu. Both meals were superb, and we would highly recommend dining here. Service...

Any pub that can cater a full 2 course meal and coffee for 58 people deserves praise. But to serve that number in 90 minutes without stress is exceptional, and that was thanks to Bob and his staff. From the arrival with 34 Classic Cars,...

I’ve eaten multiple times at the mutton, excellent service, lovely helpful staff, fantastic beer and wonderful food. Excellent atmosphere and great local pub to drink in and have a great time!!! Highly recommend!!!

We are so glad we visited the Shoulder of Mutton last night, unplanned and short notice. Fantastic hospitality and great menu. Loved the tapas, the hostess and the whole crew. When next in the area we’ll definitely be visiting again.

Bob and the team run this place so well. Great beers, the service is excellent, the food is lovely, and the tapas are as good as at any Spanish restaurant in the region. Clearly the staff are looked after as they're happy to help They're...

Worst Sunday roast ever. What a disappointment. Maybe there was a clue that there was hardly anybody in eating on an August Bank Holiday. Should have been packed full. The roast beef was tough and virtually impossible to cut with such dull knives. Vegetables, such...

A fantastic meal with excellent service and a great varied menu. Everything was homemade and tasty. The beef wellington on the specials board was one of the best I've ever had!

Four of us visited on Sunday 2nd May for a lunchtime birthday meal. All done under COVID secure guidelines, so tables outside. It was very busy, but the staff coped admirably. Special mention for the girls waiting on tables. They did an excellent job and...

Excellent quality and friendly service. Perfectly cooked!! Call in advance and arrange a slot to pick up your food.

Lovely menu,very helpful and pleasant hosts.We had a delicious meal,food very interesting and cooked fresh to order

That says it all really. Excellent hygiene and Covid procedures in place. Lovely, home cooked style, fresh food. Fish pie was divine!

Well inpromptu visits and meals with friends (only 6 of us!) are always the BEST and this visit was no exception. On a wet and miserable Saturday we decided to find a local pub to host us - after several ‘fully booked’ answers we got...

Have just returned from Sunday lunch with my daughter. The roast was as always perfect, beef beautifully cooked. Love the fact they have the option of a smaller roast for those who don’t have a big appetite or children. Staff super friendly and always happy...

What an awful experience. Took nearly an hour to serve a starter. Other groups of people arrived, ate and left before we even had a starter. The green vegetables with the roast were almost raw. Complained 3 times. They did reduce the bill. Such a...

Food was ok. Very poor on vegetarian options - only a curry (which isn’t great on a hot summer day)or a mushroom risotto. I fancied something with chips so staff tried their best to be accommodating which was good. I had battered halumi from the...

Food was good, although it took a while to come. Not complaining, however given the current circumstances as the staff were rushed off their feet and were very friendly. Good choice of beers. Would recommend.

Reservado para un almuerzo de domingo. Ligero percance cuando llegamos no pudieron encontrar la llave para abrir la puerta principal. Problema resuelto pidió bebidas y cenas asadas. Ambos eran de buena calidad. Regresará cuando esté en la zona. Restricciones de Covid en su lugar pero no en su cara.

By far the best pub in the area. Bob and his team are ultra friendly. The food is good and the beer is fresh. Cosy with the log burner in the winter

Excellent food, selection of booze & service. All food is home prepared. We had home made, chicken liver pate as starter & it was beyond exceptional. The beer battered fish & chips is fabulous too-comes with home made mushy peas that we ordered extra of because they really are not just mushy peas.

Wow - what a masterpiece Bob and his team have created. He is the Vivaldi of beers, the Picasso of pies and the Chaucer of charm - I’ll be back, not just once, but a lot - in a big way!!!

I have had a couple of takeaway roasts from the Shoulder during the time they have been closed and both times it was lovely. I have had a few takeaway roasts locally in the last few months and this wins hands down.I have also eaten in here a couple of times and once again I must vouch for the food. Both times I have had ham, eggs and chips and it is bloody lovely! The homemade chips are delightful.So glad they are opening up again and also keeping their takeaway service going as for pub food, this is the best in the area.Thanks a lot guys.

Recently had a number of takeaways during the current Covid crisis. Very well organised for collection and food absolutely delicious. Roast Sunday lunches, lasagne, chilli all top-notch. We’ve also eaten inside and had an equally good experience.

My husband and myself ordered a takeaway Sunday lunch. I ordered this the previous day and I found the member of staff I spoke to friendly and efficient.Our order was ready at the pre arranged collection time. I had scampi and fries and my husband had fish, fries and peas.Both meals were freshly cooked and hot by the time they arrived home. Both meals were delicious - we ate them too quickly to take a photo!The only thing I noticed was that the fries came salted, I do not salt my food so could really taste it. This might be something you might want go be aware of.We both enjoyed our meals and recommend The Shoulder of Mutton.

Went in Shoulder Mutton 21 March 2020 with walking group of 10 people, were made very welcome indeed, food, service excellent very highly recommended,

On a CAMRA (Campaign For Real Ale) lunch time trip. Most of us ate at the pub. Very welcoming. Good beer and excellent food. My husband enjoyed his fish pie and my calves liver was good too. Thank you.

Called in for lunch. Have been before but beer choice was never to my taste. This time Timothy Taylor’s Landlord was available and in perfect condition. Lunch menu was varied. Food was perfect and well presented. The staff were pleasant and friendly. We will return.

1st time we have been there, we go out for Sunday lunch most Sunday, we were greeted by a friendly lady behind the bar with a smile & hello good selection of ales, we both roast lamb good portion of meat & good selection of vegetables & nice gravy, bit of a limited selection of dessert as they had ran out of a couple of things but what we had was nice, the staff very friendly will definitely go back again

My husband and I had the most delicious meal here last week, with an extremely reasonably priced Prosecco (unlike so many over priced city pubs). Hubby adores the beer/ale selection. Friendly service, lovely decor and nice outdoor seating - we’ll be back!

I wasn't expecting the food to be as good as it was today. I had been to the Mutton a few weeks ago and the food was OK, but nothing that would make me want to rush back.As of Wednesday 4th Sept They have a new chef Craig, and if the food he normally makes is as good as it was today then I will going back soon for sure.The roast was divine, every element if it was perfectly cooked with amazing flavours. Looked great too!It's a great local pub often full with local characters. Now I think it is also a great foody's pub.If the standards remain as high as I saw today I anticipate many evenings with friends enjoying the food.Definitely worth a look, and a revisit if you have been disappointed with food in the past.

Seems very much a locals pub, but none the worse for that. A good surprise to get a tasty lunch reasonably priced, with locals

Growing up in the U.K I’m very aware that visiting pubs for the 1st time can be hit or miss. The beers are pretty standard but the food can be very poor to fabulous. My mate and I decided to give this place a try. It’s actually his local, but he had not had a good experience with the food a year or so ago so had not been back. Well it looks like they have stepped up their game. The food was great, the service just as good. It’s got lots of seating in and out side. Looks to be a great place for family’s to visit. (Disclaimer :I don’t believe in negative reviews. If I don’t enjoy my experience I just don’t go back. Life is to short to relive a negative experience by complaining about it. But if it’s great, why not tell as many people as possible to ensure the business continued success!)

Nos mudamos a la zona, pensamos en probar este pub encantador, desafortunadamente, nuestra cena no fue buena, la comida estaba tan seca y sin sabor, al microondas, nos pidieron que todo saliera bien y dijimos que no era agradable, la señora solo nos cobró A mitad de precio, odio quejarme o quejarme, pero solo puedo decir sobre nuestra experiencia. Vergüenza !

Went on a Saturday evening, very busy service was reasonably slow, but great atmosphere so we enjoyed the wait. Food is very fairly priced, with options on smaller portions, which worked well for a couple of us. Overall a lovely evening.

Mi esposa y yo visitamos este pub después de una mañana de observación de mariposas y aves, observando el excelente Strumpshaw Fen de RSPB a solo una milla de distancia. Este es el pub más cercano a la reserva.

Los asados de los domingos están disponibles en varios lugares de descenso en todo Norfolk. Sé que he disfrutado cenando en la mayoría de ellos a lo largo de los años. Hoy probé el Hombro de cordero, se convirtió instantáneamente en uno de mis favoritos. Un verdadero pub familiar con "cerveza para caballeros y vino para damas". Mi hijo, yo y los nietos disfrutamos nuestra comida de 5 estrellas. En un ambiente amigable y confortable excepcional, creado por un equipo amigable de individuos. . . . . . Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar y volveré

Lovely posh pub grub in a traditional homely pub good portions and good value. Posh puds too !! really lovely for an end of week treat

We stopped by here on the way to a country walk. Warm welcome from the staff and the wood burner! Food was of good quality and very tasty. Great stop off for a decent value pub meal. There was a surprising amount of choice on the menu so something for everyone.

A classic pub with 5 star kitchen, real ales and delightful friendly locals. Do not visit and ruin this wonderful example of Bristish culture. Respect it, live it, drink and eat it.....

Decided to try this pub again for Sunday lunch. Found price of lunch to be expensive for a pub. That is what it is - a local pub. Had beef dinner for £10.95 and a lamb roast dinner which was £12.95. Why charge so much? The meal was average and to me overpriced.

WOW, booked table for two at 1pm, service amazing in this lovely traditional British pub. The atmosphere was very laid back with tables all labelled with names so you know which table is yours as you walk in, lots of good local draft ales, great prices and Sunday lunch was amazing, I had the lamb, delicious and my wife the beef, six vegetables and all the trimmings, well worth a visit, but make sure you visit as it gets busy

Fabulous evening - wonderful atmosphere enhanced by an amazing piper, fantastic delivery of Rabbie’s poems by lovely local ladies & addressing of the Haggis by the landlord, resplendent in his kilt & delicious food thanks to the talented chef! We brought a large group of friends & everyone had the best time. As a traditionalist please may I request raspberries in my Cranachan next year?! Xx

After this pub being closed are a while it was great to be able to walk to our local and enjoy a meal. Lovely atmosphere, food was good and the service friendly. Husband opted for game casserole and said how good it was, I had salmon and enjoyed the fresh veg served with it. Both food and drinks were fairly priced. Had a very enjoyable evening.

Stopped by for a late lunch after our countryside walk with friends, it's what I call a typical countryside pub, we had a warm welcome smile from the landlady. Good choices from the menu, have to say the food was very good and tasty.

I'm glad I thought to book a table as the restaurant was very busy. Welcoming building, parking available, inside a modern pub with unpretentious retro feel. Good staff, friendly and efficient. Lovely food. I had a small roast, designed for people with less than humongous appetites, and there was so much I couldn't finish it. But it was lovely- lean lamb, fresh veg, proper yorkshires and plenty of gravy.Son had fish and chips which I tasted and found to be also delicious. Good beer, obviously a skilled beer man in charge.

Nice varied menu and unusual specials. Proper pub with real fire lots of real ales. Some nights it hard to get a parking place it's so popular!

Went here for the first time since the new people were in so not sure what to expect. Ordered a rare steak and it did not disappoint, cooked to perfection. I will be back.

Tuvimos una comida de bistec el sábado por la noche, que fue el mejor que he probado en The Shoulder, deben tener un nuevo chef. El servicio fue de primera clase con fichas extra para mi esposa en lugar de ensalada. Realmente acogedor y una buena pinta de suave también para mí, que me encanta! ¡Los nuevos propietarios / gerentes están haciendo un trabajo excelente!

Lovely big of roast lamb, with plenty of vegetables. Good menu, enticing specials, range of desserts. Pleasant, friendly, efficient service. Sunday lunch for six a most enjoyable experience.

Estábamos con amigos que vivían a poca distancia del pub y querían comprarles una cena de agradecimiento. El pub cerró hace un tiempo y volvió a abrir hace poco, así que pensamos en probarlo. .

The specials menu is interesting and ambitious, but unfortunately on our visit the food served up was just mediocre. Restaurant prices usually mean restaurant quality, but that wasn't in evidence here. On the positive side the beer was excellent.

Been before for drinks. Nice selection of guest and regular ales. Ghost Ship is £3.30 for instance.

Fantastic pub, great atmosphere, great food, great selection of real ales, great landlords, great staff! Put simply its great!!!

This is one of the nicest country pubs. Individual and unspoilt by large corporates. Wooden floors, woodburner in winter, good food and a great selection of real beers. Staff are friendly and helpful. Would recommend it.

This is our local and we always look forward to coming. The menu is fairly mainstream on the whole, but always with interesting specials which the kitchen celebrates on its Facebook page - always gets me thinking I need to visit again! The sunday roast is fabulous value and so tasty. The fish and chips is brill and gluten-free which you'd never know - brilliant for me! We've had the specials a few times and always enjoyed them. Great food, great bar and lovely, friendly staff.

We are staying in the area for a few days and decided to eat here. Glad we did. Excellent regular menu and extensive specials board. Our food was delicious. Clearly homemade, fresh and flavoursome and served piping hot. Mains were excellent value at just under £10 a head. Service was friendly and quick despite it being reasonably busy. Local Woodforde guest pale ale went down a treat. A good find and we would certainly visit again when in the area

We went along last night, Saturday evening, for a meal and really didn't know what to expect. We'd eaten several times under previous ownership but not since it reopened so were a little wary. No need though, the new main menu was quite mainstream with some more imaginative specials on the board. I can highly recommend the prawn, crayfish and avocado cocktail, delicious! Hubby had the very retro pear, walnut and goats cheese salad and daughter had deep fried brie which were both eagerly devoured. Steak main was huge and not for the fainthearted but the handcut chips were so good so I'm not sure what a previous reviewer had a problem with. One thing I will say though, bear in mind all food is cooked fresh to order so expect to wait a little longer at busy times. Dessert was great too! The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the beer and cider were all well kept. All in all we will definitely be back, and soon!

Four of us ate here and all pleased with our food. Nothing at all to complain about and very friendly even with the dogs. Well defo be going back!

Ordered 3 meals 2 with chips. The chips were the worst I have ever seen reallt dark and greasy. Other people seemed to be getting chips that looked like they should do. My wifes steak was supposed to be medium rare, it was very thin and only the slightest hint of red in the middle. Mentioned the chips to the barman, he cut one in half and went off but never returned. Such a shame as the pub had a nice atmosphere.

Friendly with good food at very reasonable prices. Chips particularly were flipping lovely - like the ones you used to get in family run chip shops 40 years ago. Yum scrum!

we went with our two border collies and were made most welcome. the fish pie, haddock and chips and scotch egg dish were all very good and drinks were fine. the new landlord is making a good effort to get things going after the shutdown and we wish him well. prices were fair and it was well attended for a tuesday night. we moved indoors as the wasps were wanting to share the table with us and that was no problem. in the area it matches the cantley cock and beats the reedham pubs.

Visited shoulder today with family. Only living in the next village, this pub has been a local for some time. Today we choose to eat their and what a meal! My burger and sweet potato fries were lovely! The waitress was friendly and very welcoming! It’s dog friendly and lovely atmosphere! I’m only sorry I couldn’t fit in a desert!

I last used this pub just over a year ago. What a change. Before it was dirty and the beer was disgusting. The new management has turned it around. The beer is excellent and the bar is clean. The outside area has been smartened up. I look forward to going back and sampling their menu.

Recently called in after visit to nearby RSPB nature reserve and having heard of the new owners and refurbishment of this pleasant country pub I was more than pleased, the range of beers was excellent and the staff pleasant and helpful, will definitely be back!

Great to see the place thriving once more - and freshly decorated with friendly service and a good range of well-kept beers. Shame about the recent food hygiene rating though so I hope this can be put right quickly.

Lunch for six at the Shoulder of Mutton today was excellent. Choices made were pie of the day, fish and chips ( small and large portions available), coq au vin, crab thermidor, followed by various desserts. Friendly service and a good range of ale.

Charming pub in Strumpshaw had a few glasses of ale and a lovely fish and chip meal (gluten free) .good choice of other meals really friendly and welcoming staff will eat here again

Tonight we gave been to this beautiful dog friendly pub in Strumshaw. The main kitchen opens shortly but Maz Linford has cooked BBQ- meat and halo mi & Mauritian cajack, sausage rougaille and vegetable curry, then sweet doughnuts for dessert. We played pool, bar billuards, drank from a good selection of beers and had a great time. This was such a treat!

A lovely warm country pub now Great ale Tasteful refurbishment A new lease of life injected into the pub - perfect! We will spread the word.

Now open again and under the skilled management of Bob Cameron who many will know from the Coach and Horses on Thorpe Road in Norwich. Early days (only just over a week in) but Bob knows his stuff and is turning the place around already. It's good news all round that the pub has been saved from becoming an 'ex-pub'. Nice pint of Ghost Ship too!

Love the place, excellent. good varied menu, can accommodate large groups. large tasty portions. friendly staff and a nice big carpark.
