The Shoulder of Mutton in Bury

Excellent food, no probs with GF bread to go with the delicious mussel & prawn stew..busy and lovely atmosphere with friendly lovely staff and very dog friendly

Went here at the weekend with friends on the way to The Oaks spa hotel. Very friendly and cosy. Lovely food that was very reasonable. Overall a great experience and if we were down this way again we would definitely visit.

Went there for the weekend with family. Staffs are really nice, you can hear the amount of energy inside the kitchen coming outside. Food in general was ok, had the seafood stew which I thought was a bit bland for me but the cheese pie was nice. The chicken roast looked nice. Dog friendly.

Cheese pie was rely nice. Travel was a little sticky but it did have a good atmosphere. Chef thought he was Gordon Ramsey... Yelling at staff which was uncomfortable. It is dog friends and there was a bowl and treats.

The food had drastically gone down in this pub. No bread so any toasties or sandwiches were off the menu. Soup of the day was potato and leek then informed there wasn't any potato and leek so it would have to be tomato which tasted like a tin of blended plum tomatoes. No butter for the cobs (what restaurant/pub doesn't have butter) gave garlic butter which we think was used to put on the steaks etc. Chios were disgusting. Won't be returning, would rather go somewhere like Hare and Hounds or some of the other eateries in Ramsbottom.

Quite outstanding food.Looks and feels like a nice, standard, upper range English pub. A great stop on a long hike.I was not expecting the reasonably priced food to be of such good quality. We will be back

My first post pandemic visit and it didn't disappoint. I had the cajun chicken strips & my wife had the cheese & onion pie, both were excellent. Service was prompt, friendly & courteous and the icing on the cake was the excellent beers. I had an Odin (Brightside brewery) and also tried a Landlord (Timothy Taylor) both we're in top condition. On this visit the overall service was hard to fault, we will definitely be back. Thank you.

Good food, nice environment. Staff were largely excellent except for an older lady who took our order. Very abrupt and cantankerous. Overall tho, 4*

Stopped for a lunch here after a walk over Holcombe. Pleasant warm day. Outdoor seating available under a canopy, however I preferred an indoor spot which they were able to offer with current safely issues adhered to.Inviting inside with rustic feel to it with more than adequate staff numbers to attend to everyone. All staff friendly & eager to assist. Seemed to be divided between food & drink teams with everything table service currently.I ordered the fish finger sandwich with thick cut chips which with pint of the Taylors Landlord was delicious & went down a treat.Food really well prepared with thought into presentation although salad leaves served on the board instead of a side plate or bowl didn't really work, small issue but otherwise a lovely lunch & will certainly return.Definitely recommended if in locality or anywhere near Ramsbottom.

always such an amazing meal here! service is impeccable, staff are so lovely and the food even better. couldn’t complain of i tried, highly recommend for anyone from popping in for an afternoon drink to an evening meal
