What an incredible dinner location, the food was amazing by Chef Mario the staff Sue and Peter were so helpful and attentive. Love coming to eat here when I am in the Rugby area!

We called in here Saturday evening for a drink, with a view to have some food if we liked the menu. We hadn't been back here for a long while, even though we live locally, but had been meaning to revisit. We chose something off...the bar menu and we were not disappointed. It was probably the best gammon I had had in a long time,and what I really liked was that the egg and pineapple was served together and you weren't forced to choose between the two as is most often the case. I dont like peas, but was kindly asked if I wanted an alterative, so I chose salad and it was delicious, fresh, full of colour and came with a gorgeous dressing. My husband had the burger and this was also very nice. The food was served up very nicely and just tasted absolutely delicious, the home made onion rings were lovely. It was modern pub food, traditional but updated and fresh. The drinks were also served nicely, my wine was in a lovely big glass, nicely chilled and very tasty. The landlord came over and had a word which was a nice touch and the service was excellent. Its also great to see basket meals on the menu. My only critisism is that the place lacks polish, the car park/garden at the back looks a bit shabby, it needs attention to detail, more colour, perhaps some nice planted tubs/ baskets etc. there was a broken pot and quite a bit of rubbish around, however I know they have suffered a flood and are in the middle of refurbishing. The bar was clean and nicely decorated but not sure about the overall style, seems to be a clash of different styles, however still a nice ambience. We wont be leaving it so long to revisit next time!More

This was a dinner with friends. The food took over an hour and a quarter to arrive. When it did, it was delicious, and freshly cooked, but we would have been happier if they had warned us how long it would take, or checked in...with us about it while we were waiting. There was only one other couple eating, but there was a skittles match going on in the bar. When I booked I was asked if it was for anything special and had told him it was to celebrate my birthday. I was still very pleasantly surprised when a cake was brought out, big enough for all four of us. I had the pork, which was belly pork, with pork wellington, with leeks, carrots, mash and apple sauce-it was very good.More

Nice country pub surroundings in restaurant, pleasant welcome from staff. Twenty minute wait before being approached for orders and being told there would be a wait for the food (despite only 1 family of 4 eating in bar and 1 couple in restaurant) - too...late to go elsewhere as we had nearly finished our first drinks and were miles from anywhere else. Time from ordering to food arriving was a further 1 hour and 5 minutes, no bread or nibbles offered or available to order meanwhile. All dishes well presented and tasted nice, appeared genuinely prepared on premises. Desserts were excellent - modern style, nicely presented, adequate amount but not too much. A couple of small mistakes by man who served us, nothing serious but did wonder how focused he was on the customers. Few customers for a weekend evening, meant not much atmosphere. Not cheap, but prices reasonable for quality of food.More

Well I have to tell everyone that the pate here is homemade and out of this world. Mario makes it himself and it's smooth tasty flavoursome and almost so good you can't do without it, please go and try some , if I could award...someone a medal it would be sue who serves behind the bar waits on table and listens to all the woes of the world from patrons and still smiles . I can't understand why this place isn't inundated with customers day after day, I would recommend this cute little country friendly pub to anyonexMore

Another fantastic breakfast friendly staff. With refill tea coffee and juices. Lovely proper meat good hearty breakfast. Highly recommend. First Sunday of the month

I don't very often find myself compelled to write a review but I ate at this pub last night and it was exceptionally good, very worth the visit. Well prepared and presented fresh food, I can't speak highly enough of the Chef, nice job. I...hope that he keeps it going and I will be back for another visit!More

Thoroughly enjoyable meal at the Shoulder of Mutton. Myself and partner are both vegetarian and were offered a variety of vegetarian dishes. We selected the Mushroom and Bean burger which was delicious and very good value considering the size of the meal. Strongly recommended.More

Warm, cosy, homemade food. Lovely owners Peter and Mario, always a warm welcome. Quaint in the village in Grandborough. The home cooked Sunday roasts are excellent value. Huge plates and the homemade gravy which is matured with wine is the absolute best I have ever...tasted, along with the homemade herby stuffing and wine and cinnamon spiced infused red cabbage. Delicious !!!More

We got married in August 2018 and The Shoulder of Mutton was our perfect Wedding Reception venue. Peter and Mario turned our vision into so much more. Stunning food to our exact specifications, an efficiently run bar, staff that couldn’t do enough, beautiful decorations and...the most amazing cake! Everyone was made to feel so welcome in a fantastic country setting. Peter and Marios experience in running such events is obvious for all to see....they honestly couldn’t do enough.More

We had my dad’s surprise 75th party at the Shoulder of Mutton on Sunday. The back room with its real fire and the extended dining area was a perfect place to host friends and family. It’s cosy, spacious and private as Peter puts a sign...on the door advising it’s a private function. Mario made the cake and the iced Coventry City F.C coat of arms by hand which bought a tear to my dad’s eye (and not because they’d lost that day either !) We chose chocolate cake and it was delicious. The food, the room, the layout, the staff were all spot on. Thank you so much Peter, Mario, Sue and team. You did us proud. Please see photos attached.More

Best food ever! Sensational service and would definitely recommend for all ages and families. Definitely recommend having a visit !!
