Great pub with excellent range of beers (including some brewed on site). Improving on a weekly basis with upgraded beer garden, new outside coffee shop and soon to be opened upstairs music venue. Landlord also runs excellent foreign bottled beer shop in the centre of town

Excellent pub with a friendly and welcoming feel to it. Coal fire and welcoming locals would recommend going for a drink.

The Shoulder Of Mutton Kirk Smeaton

Reviewed By 234Darren

We were shocked after reading previous reviews. Visited July and the pub was wonderful. Lovely flower hanging baskets all over and wonderful beer garden. Its clearly had a full refurb as inside is so lovely, modern yet keeping its heritage. Bar staff were very friendly and range of ales (including Bradfield) was excellent. Will definitely return very soon. Local pubs like this need support to stay open.
