based on fairly good reviews we booked the Shoulder of Mutton for the Easter weekend, I can only assume the pictures have undergone significant amount of photoshop... A luke warm welcome, no coffee, no food and no apology for lack of either after 5 hour drive. Our room was situated above the bar and the noise through to 2am was... More

BE AWARE NO FOOD AT ALL - disappointment after a 7 hour drive that the nearest food was a walk into town and NO BREAKFASTS in the morning :-( No apology or explanation from the staff for this on arrival. Apparently there has been no food for a while and no plans to replace the chef. They are going to... More

Cheap, but not cheerful. Stayed 4 nights. Night 4, the room had not been cleaned & i was told by the bar staff that the cleaner would be told. The management wouldn't lower themselves to an apology , or even to speak to me ! So stayed in a dirty room . Big punch ups outside , police attended. Food... More

Having chosen to stay at The Shoulder Of Mutton because of the favourable reviews, I can't believe that these were for the same place that we stayed at. It was awful, and would give Fawlty Towers a run for the number one hotel not to stop at. Having taken one and a half hours to travel the last 4 miles... More

Positives: Nice cheery welcome. Good large clean airy bedroom and bathroom. Decent cooked breakfast once staff could be bothered to show up for work (see negatives). Large free car park at back of B&B/Pub. Negatives: Draughty bedroom window (owing to old style sash window - we blocked it up with towels which seemed to do the trick). Booked an 8am... More

We received a nice welcome on arrival. On being shown to our room my opinion changed quite quickly . The curtain was hanging off the window pole and instead of bedside cabinets , a bar stool was situated either side of the bed ! The bathroom was not very clean, the shower was mouldy with pink mould around the shower... More

Although we have never eaten in the pub, the food looks absolutley delicious. I would definitely give this place a go,its... More

Warm welcome received on arrival and shown to a spacious and modern family room overlooking the garden and play area. Food is delicious and plentiful and breakfast was superb! Service was impeccable, staff couldn't do enough for you. About a 10-15 min walk into York town centre and has car parking to rear of pub. All in all - would... More

We stayed at the Shoulder of Mutton for 2 nights in York in early July 2012. We were very pleased with the room, it was newly decorated to a high standard and the double bed was extremely comfortable. The owners were very hospitable - offering to drive us into central York as it was raining and going out to buy... More
