The best restaurants serving British food in Shiplake South Oxfordshire South East

What an exceptional restaurant. It was our first visit on a special occasion and the greeting at the door was warm and friendly. The co owner Ryan came to our table and with a real sense of warm professionalism talked us through the food options. Although many around us were choosing the ‘taster menu’, we decided on a la carte. The restaurant was intimate but spacious, with only 20 covers in an area that would easily of managed 40. The food was sublime, well designed and created and a pleasure to eat. To summarise a magnificent restaurant and a truly memorable evening.

We recently held a family celebration, at the Shoulder of Mutton, for my grandchildrens’ 16th and 18th birthdays. The food (the Sunday Lunch) was excellent, Our vegetarians were well catered for, and the staff were friendly, cheerful and welcoming and did all they could to make the day a success. We had the conservatory to ourselves, which was a bonus. I know it was very busy that day but I cannot thank all the staff enough, for their hard work. We had a wonderful celebration.

Great value and very friendly efficient professional staff Shelby our waitress was outstanding but generally all friendly Food very good plus a carvery available win win

Went in for a group meal. Food ok. Can't believe they didn't do cocktails.

As usual a lovely hot meal service a bit slow to take order. Good value for money would recommend to friends. Dog friendly and lots of outside space to sit looking over the fields.

Love this quirky place. Beautiful food, run by beautiful people, in a beautiful setting. Have been here multiple times and love everything. It's great to have an independent, family run pub by a couple who really care. Their attention to detail on the menu for people with dietary needs is second to none. Nothing is ever to much bother and their food is freshly prepared and cooked to order. Gluten free fish and chips with a choice of Haddock or Cod is the best we've ever tasted. Can't wait to return.

Highly recommend the sunday lunch. Beef was a good portion, cooked beautifully. Chicken likewise. Plenty of veggies. The gravy was obviously home made and tasted amazing. Too full for dessert, but will be back. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
