Been going in here for a few years now every couple of weeks for a few pints after work. Staff are always friendly and they serve Starapramen which is always bang on.
Really nice pub....landlord and landlady so welcoming and so were the locals. Excellent pint of Carling at a reasonable price. Travelled from Hull to go walking in the Ossett area with a special friend. I will be returning to the Shoulder of Mutton for a few more beers in a couple of weeks time.
Had a brilliant night for a friends 50th. The only thing that spoiled it, was they look after the locals. I get this is the (right) thing to do, but when you're stood there waiting and the bar man goes back round the bar to serve a local, when you're stood there, it's not right. Otherwise, a good night, great band, and great karaoke.
Really nice place to visit. The staff are very helpful and the drinks are very reasonably priced. The outside area is very nice indeed. Only downside is at the moment they dont serve food but don't let it put you off visiting
This is a fantastic country pub with friendly staff, the regular clientele really make you feel welcome, it's got a good range of popular drinks, and a really nice pint of Guinness, It's situated in the centre of Gawthorp, with plenty of good walks and views of the countryside, it's got plenty of history and nature too, also a small beer garden out back with a kids area, that is perfect for the summer evening's, And a stone's throw away from the M1, did I also mention the amazing home cooked meals done as you request it, All in this place is a big yes from me,
