- The Good Beer Guide 2027We are in it! An accolade we are very proud to have.
A bit about us
We are an unpretentious family run village pub. Unlike many modern-day pubs we are trying to stay true to what a village pub should be, the hub of the village. You will find the walls adorned with old pub signs, historic information about Strumpshaw & paraphernalia.
We have traditional games for you to play. & we even have an outdoor pétanque terrain too.
Live music is very much a part of life here at The Mutton. We try to have something for everyone. Keep an eye on our Events page so not to miss out on our cocktail evening, gigs, jam sessions, bingo and charity quiz evenings.
Near us
The Shoulder of Mutton is within walking distance of Strumpshaw Hall and its famous Steam Museum, where you can see the UK’s largest collection of steam engines and fairground memorabilia. Strumpshaw Hall offers year-round camping facilities, providing wonderful opportunities for ramblers and bird watchers. Strumpshaw Fen RSPB Nature Reserve is also just a short walk away.
You’re guaranteed a warm welcome
We look forward to your visit. And don’t forget – we’re dog friendly, horse & steam engine friendly!
