Stayed on a Monday evening the place was fairly quiet but the food and ale was great. Started with Scallops in a chilli and lime butter and went for the belly pork for main,great presentation and tasted lovely washed down with a nice pint of Crazy horse. The room was nice, spotlessly clean and in character with the pub nice... More

Having read the varied reviews for The Shoulder, some negative but most positive, I thought the only way to find out what it is really like is to go. Pleasantly surprised, the service was excellent and the food was very good. It was the Sunday set menu from which you could have a two or three course meal. Beef, lamb,... More

I went to the shoulder recently with friends, having had a bad experience before, I just had a drink, whilst they tucked into lunch. I still cant believe how poor this place can be, it must be run on the flip of a coin - today we will serve good food and good service, or not...............I must go on the... More

People need to start realising how good this place actually is! 2rosette restaurant, great wine selection and local aleas in a well designed comfy restaurant or seperate bar area in the middle of the country side. However whenever I seem to go its just that little bit quiet! I can safely say this place offers some of the best food... More

I've lived in the area for over 10 years and I've seen this pub change hands quite a few times in that period - sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. With that in mind I called in a few nights ago, and was pleased to see its definitely on the "up" again... Excellent choice of beers - some... More

We have been to the shoulder for Food on a couple of occasions now and each time we have been impressed by the quality of the food. The Sunday dinner is very good and reasonably priced. We have recently had the Christmas Menu meal and £15 for 2 courses is very good value.The staff are very helpful and they serve... More

Very good food pretty good value. Rooms are basic but certainly ours was clean. Good breakfast better than some much more expensive places. Home baked bread we brought home with us is excellent. Staff were very friendly and efficient. We had three courses each all of which were good I had a special consisting of Brill with black pudding and... More

I dont quite understand why this place doesn't want customers ? - I have only been twice and each time its food has been poor, the prices ridiculous and the service lazy. Avoid it. I wouldnt recommend it for a wedding either, friends of our had theirs there and the room was "old and tired", it was not what you... More

Drove to the Shoulder on Saturday night only to find it closed to general public because of a private function. This is the second time this has happened and the last visit we will make the journey. How come when the pub has a great big function room it closes the locals bar when it's the locals that keep the... More
