The Shoulder Of Mutton

Stopped here for a meal, for no reason other than it was half way between my brother's house and mine. He booked it. I thought he'd done loads of research, but he assured me he had put no effort in at all, it was literally a stick a pin in a map job. Anyway, the food blew us all away. So rare nowadays to see a menu and want to eat everything on it. Even rarer, everything on it, that we had, was absolutely gorgeous. The only slight fault, maybe, was the veg was a little bit too "Al dente". I'm not making an issue out of that though - how could I, I ate it all... Great beers too and a really good, really friendly service. Can't wait to go back.

My son married at Wharfedale Grange on Sat 23rd March. We stayed in the suite at the Shoulder of mutton (ground floor) Friday 22nd and 23rd March. My friend kate and brother and wife had other two rooms on 1st floor. It was absolutely delightful extremely clean and comfy beds lovely shower and lots of little extras. The pub was perfect lovely atmosphere brilliant smiling staff and the lamb and pork fillet delicious. Book table as very popular and I can see why. The breakfast is best we have had great selection and cooked wonderfully, again served by the most lovely friendly staff. Kate the owner allowed us to have late check out on Sunday which was so kind nothing too much trouble. As we left on Sunday I could see lots of people arriving to have the popular sunday roast so upset we could not stay. If visiting harrogate or leeds which I intend to do when I book to spend longer there. Thank you. Forgot to mention real ales !!

Stayed for just 1 night, but we had a fantastic time. The room was lovely and extremely clean with great facilities and super comfortable. We ate in the pub on the evening and my wife and I agreed it was fantastic food, the best lamb dish we have had in many a year. Kate the host was great and really looked after us. Had the option of staying in Harrogate, but really glad we chose this place. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Lovely food just a shame being sat very close to the bar on a busy Fri night as was very noisy and nearly had afew ppl reverse there butts onto our table whilst they were standing in big groups drinking at the bar 😂 but the food was delicious and well presented and the staff friendly and accommodating the best they could with a staff member short that night

An absolute gem of a pub this place. Warm and cosy with a lovely quaint vibe. Good selection of drinks, the food was top notch and service was excellent. I opted for the lamb, which was delicious. The kids meals are a fantastic deal in this pub and include what I would describe as an adult portion ice cream! The chocolate orange ice cream was an excellent choice by my youngest and unfortunately for her most of it was appropriated by myself, obviously for the benefit of this review! Fantastic restaurant, I can't wait to return!

Beautiful meal at The Shoulder of Mutton, Kirby Overblow recently. We visited for a family birthday on an evening, and ate as a party of seven. Warm, friendly welcome, attentive, passionate staff. Wonderful real Ales, coal burning coasy fires and delicious, home cooked food at a reasonable rate. Would highly recommend and we will be back. Fantastic for kids too. Good menu, which includes a generous portion of traditional ice cream. We will be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A great place to eat, we had breakfast there which was perfectly cooked, hot and good portion sizes. The service was quick, courteous and with a smile. The icing on the cake for my wife was the fact they served tea with a pot of hot water - old fashioned but a nice touch. The pub has a very good atmosphere about it, that real country feel located in a small village just outside Harrogate. Plenty of parking and I believe good wheelchair access. Well worth a visit if the evening meals are as tasty as the breakfast we had you won't be disappointed!
