Passing through the area we made the mistake of visiting this establishment. The smashed window in the rear door set the standard, very loud rock music was being enjoyed by an equally loud crowd in the main bar area. Decor was at best shabby, picture lights on the wall but no pictures seats and tables best suited to a greasy... More

We stayed over for one night on 26th October 2012 and were met with an extremely warm welcome by Paul and Maria (and Maisie the dog) who were fantastic and looked after us during our stay. Lovely cosy pub with open fire. Nice, clean rooms. Great full English Breakfast. We would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend this... More

I booked two rooms at this place for my Mother in Law and another lady relative. Stayed 7th August. They were both very happy with quality of rooms and welcome. Shame is that at time of writing this review (7th October 2012) the place appears to have closed down and to let signs are showing. Shame as clearly a good... More

We booked two rooms in advance via email requesting a travel cot and child’s bed however on arrival the male owner claimed he knew nothing of this despite our hard evidence, (printed out email) not even an apology, which was disappointing. The female owner is delightful and really makes you feel welcome she went out of her way to accommodate... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night as my family were staying in the area. The rooms were nice, very clean and tidy. The pub is a friendly place and the locals were friendly. I would stay here again.

I completely agree with Caroline I wish I had read her review before I booked. We had the noise from the young people down in the smoking area until 2.00 in the morning. We asked them politely to tune it down and they just got louder. The language was dreadful and we could hear the whole conversations. We then rang... More

The Shoulder of Mutton is a relatively nice pub, with good parking in a lovely village. My partner and I booked a Friday and Saturday night, to attend a wedding. On booking I called to ask about the potential noise from the live music and was told that the rooms were separate and would not be effected. This was not... More

We have just returned from a 3 night break staying at "The Shoulder of Mutton" in Barton under Needwood. Our room was small but I think some of the others might have been a little bigger. There was everything you needed including the usual hospitality tray and toiletries in the shower room. We ate our evening meal here too and... More

Took my elderly grandfather here for Sunday Lunch, absolutely first rate in every regard. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the food was very tasty and plentiful, the beer was well kept, the pub itself was well appointed and the loos outstanding. In the last six months I have eaten at each of the eateries new and old in Barton... More
