Shoulder of Mutton Briestfield in Dewsbury

Oh, let me tell you about the Shoulder of Mutton in Briestfield; it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot for a good night out or a hearty meal. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is where they truly shine – Sunday roasts that are bang on the money, burgers that folks are calling the best they've had, and even fish pies that leave you wanting more. Pair that with a solid range of beers, including some cracking craft ones, and you've got yourself a winner for a casual catch-up. The place has this cosy, welcoming feel that makes it feel like a proper local haunt, and the team behind the bar and in the kitchen are absolute stars, keeping things cheerful even when it's packed to the rafters. But, and I say this as a fair heads-up, it does get mobbed quite often, so you might end up twiddling your thumbs if you haven't booked a table. Plus, with it only being open five days a week and some wonky hours, it's not always the easiest to pop in spontaneously. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a top meal and a relaxed atmosphere, just make sure to check those opening times first – trust me, it's worth the effort for a memorable visit.
