I crossed off an ambition recently by designing a pub sign (logo and branding) for The Shoulder of Mutton up in Ramsbottom. I was commissioned for photography too which is great as I really wanted to integrate the two to produce a whole package. Head Chef Chris Yates has returned home after a year or so with a brand new grazing menu. The cynics amongst you may cry bias at this review but the dishes looked so good that we had to return on Friday as paying customers. (I rarely eat when working). In any case I've previously said that I think Chris is one of the best chefs in the North West and these small plates below were the most accomplished food we've ever had at The Shoulder.
The guy who reviewed this first is obviously a muppet. Chorley is around 20 miles from Holcombe which is in fact in Ramsbottom. The pub is now back to it's best after new ownership and a refurb. Beer is good, always busy with a real quality fire. Food is good too. Great location with a superb Indian facing. Give it a go.
John guy is clearly a fantasist, for example he has the address wrong, holcombe is no where near chorley. I live in the village and drink in the pub and would have heard had this happened, be assured it did not. He is also lying about the prices, the shoulder is about £12, although I can't be exact. The food is good, homemade, locally sourced and reasonably priced. The staff are lovely and the chef, who in reality is a very nice unassuming chap, and incidentally only part owner. I really would reccomend lunch in front of the log fire. The question is which other local eating establishment do we think john guy owns, answers on a postcard please!
