We have been regulars of the Shoulder of Mutton (SOM) for a while visiting, several times over the last few of years.
We could not recommend the Shoulder of Mutton enough. We even decided to hold our wedding meal and celebration here. Having our nearest and dearest friends and family visit and enjoy the afternoon and evening at the Shoulder of Mutton was amazing. Our friends and family cannot stop talking about it. The level of detail and most importantly care from the team was really supportive of even our quirky needs. Everyone really enjoyed the food, drinks and relaxed atmosphere.
Wendy as front of house and Alan leading the food team really are experts in their respective fields. They have been there by our side throughout the planning process and the Shoulder of Mutton team and as a venue have by far exceeded any aspirations we had on all metrics.
The decorations were beautiful, the food was delicious and the service was amazing. Every single aspect was impeccable and we could not have imagined a more perfect day.
We would just like to say thank you for having us on our special day and allowing us the flexibility to enjoy our wedding day as we wished to and taking the stress out of the day.
Catering to our allergies (even nuts!) and intolerances without a hitch or concern is something that is hard to come by nowadays.
If you are hesitating on visiting or you’re looking for a local gastropub that cares about you and really puts out top notch food and service easily accessible from Reading or surrounding areas – please visit or contact the Shoulder of Mutton. You will not regret it. Without a doubt we will be back time and time again.
The Shoulder of Mutton hosted a funeral tea after a service at Reading Crematorium. It's a lovely local pub that goes above and beyond to provide a personal service.
The food was tasty and bountiful and suited the (mainly older) group of people that came along. Everything was clearly homemade with love. The quiches were particularly good!
We were lucky enough to have the pub to ourselves on a sunny day so were also able to take advantage of the garden.
One final comment. If you're considering The Crown or the Shoulder of Mutton then please go with the Shoulder. We were badly let down by the Crown, and they didn't really seem to care. The personalised service we got from a owner-operater (over the Crown chain) was clear, and their food is also A LOT better.
Lovely bar staff/waitresses. Friendly & helpful. Good service. Was a bit warm in the conservatory to have a Sunday roast but still enjoyable. Bit of a wait for dinner but not a problem.
Wendy and Alan provided a very memorable party for myself and 24 family members. They made wonderful food and gave excellent, friendly service. Everything was perfect, I can't praise them highly enough. Many thanks Wendy and Alan.
Absolutely amazing food!! One of the best Sunday lunches I have ever had. The staff were so friendly and approachable and the food really was amazing! 4 of us went and we all had slightly different meals but all were absolutely excellent. Would definitely recommend!
I used to go to this restaurant years ago and I returned there yesterday for dinner. All really nice and fresh. P. S.: Bruscetta does not make sense in Italian.... Bruschetta is the correct spelling.
Nice evening social BBQ. Only downside isn't didn't manage to equally have enough food but think there was a mix up with vegetarian needs. Nice beer garden
Amazing food, really.
The garden is Heaven!
Food a tad expensive and a bit late, but was busy indeed so it's fine. :)
Nice place lovely pub garden and food was really good will go again
It was a great experience and our guide was very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
