The Shoulder of Mutton Mirfield in Dewsbury

Ah, The Shoulder of Mutton in Mirfield – it's one of those pubs that really warms you up on a chilly evening, you know? From the reviews, it sounds like they've nailed the food side of things; folks are raving about the backyard BBQ on weekends and those hearty sizzler menus, which seem like a brilliant choice for a satisfying meal. The snug is another highlight, with live gigs creating a buzzing atmosphere that's just the ticket if you're up for some music and a chat. And let's not forget the friendly staff and perks like free pool on Mondays – it's those little touches that make it feel like a proper local spot. On the downside, though, quiz nights might not be everyone's idea of fun; a couple of people mentioned it feeling a bit too rule-heavy, with the landlady getting a tad distracted and service not quite hitting the mark. Still, with a generally upbeat vibe and flexible opening hours, I'd say it's worth popping in for a pint and a plate – just maybe plan around the events if you're after a smooth night out. All in all, it's got that homely pub charm, but like any place, it's not perfect, so go with an open mind and you'll likely have a great time.
