The Mutton At Hazeley Heath

Why does it lose a star when the fresh seasonal food is very good, the venue polished, atmosphere pleasant and staff well trained? It's because somehow its just slightly less than the sum of its quality parts. Plenty of staff but they buzz about a little too much and it took effort to get their attention, they want £6 for bread and butter (when the well priced mains should cover that), needlessly small portion of chips, bright lights in eyes, etc... Just needs a bit more attention to detail to be really excellent.

Pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem Excellent food and choices, warm night so in the garden, really lovely Only 1 point, we were left standing at the bar waiting to be seated a while , felt rather awkward, serving staff kept saying we'd be seated soon, we had booked. Chief / owner/ manager was flitting about placing tables and eventually seated us. Very pleasant but felt unnecessary and uncomfortable wait tbh. Everyone else appeared to be seated instantly. Clearly popular and regulars. Young serving staff very lovely A minor detail, certainly recommend excellent food and atmosphere

Beautifully renovated pub, serving excellent food. Rated with 2 AA rosettes and the food certainly delivers. Garden is an absolute delight with a stunning wisteria covering the lower seating area. Definitely a place to take friends and family if you want to wow them! Menu changes regularly with the season so always something new to try on every visit we've made. Had the scallops which were divine andnso perfectly cooked and lots of nibbles from the garden menu. Highly reccomend both the pork belly main and lamb shoulder, melt in the mouth tender and delicious garnishes with beautiful plating.

Excellent spot, service and food. Would be 10/10 if it wasn't for the steak, which was frozen and not at all consistent with all the other well prepared dishes. Possibly as they were kindly able to squeeze us in without us making a reservation on a busy day Will be back many times (unless I'm banned after this comment!)

I’ve visited The Mutton now about 5/6 times and each visit the food has been outstanding and we’ve never been disappointed. Staff are so welcoming and friendly and go out of their way to accommodate requests. Food is excellent. Everything we’ve ordered has been cooked to perfection. With the weather warming up our last few visits have been booked for the garden which has been furnished to the same standard as the interior and is beautifully maintained. Our favourite place in the area to go now!
