The Shoulder at Hardstoft

Booked in for Sunday lunch , hadn’t been before & was a little apprehensive TBH , I needn’t of been tho , the whole experience was amazing , way beyond my expectations, made all the more enjoyable by our fabulous waitresses,Cerys who was delightful, so professional polite and attentive for such a young lady . A rare quality to possess . The meal was excellent ( I went for the roast beef ) as was my desert ( the James Bond chocolate brownie ) all in all I can throughly recommend and I shall most definitely be returning . Thank you again Cerys , you really made our visit a joy x

The Bar staff are amazing particularly the pulchritudiness Eboney The service was excellent and a great motivational chat. The chef was really nice and very accommodating with one of our groups very demanding food requirements. Altogether a very friendly establishment with great music from the exceptional DJ!

Excellent,very tasty,very well presented meal after they had had a very busy lunchtime Chef accommodated my culinary request amazingly Lovely log fire friendly,helpful staff laid back atmosphere well worth a visit if you are in the area

The food is lovely and the staff go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your meal. My mother is disabled and I take her out for dinner most weeks, the staff can’t do enough to make her comfortable and she really enjoys her Friday outings

Xmas day Dinner!!! Sorry really disappointed expected more!!!! Arrived half hour early to enjoy a drink and was led to our table immediate! Within sitting down in minutes our starter arrived soup which was cold!! We still not had chance to order drinks and was told someone would be with us soon as the locals who had just arrived was served and was busy to do both???. Drinks came and then a sorbet was put on table within minutes of the starter dishes being removed! Same again main meal out as soon as sorbet dishes removed all seemed hurried!! Dessert was chocolate cheesecake/shortbread not sure which ?? very dry so asked for some cream and was told had none ??? so we left it!!! Next came the cheese and biscuits in a box in with a note you may take home if you wish - not even on a cheese board - very unprofessional for a restaurant as we had not asked for it as take out!! For £75 a head so very disappointed in and out within an hour - never really had this type of service here before and felt like it all was so rushed!! We was so looking forward to our first Xmas lunch out never again would not recommend Xmas dinner here as the experience was very poor for the cost!! Other than that the staff are very friendly and would like to think my review would help in future years to make customers Xmas dinner dining experience a better one!!!!!!

Once again had a lovely lunch at The Shoulder. First time l have had a steak and it was absolutely cooked to perfection for my liking. Thanks Chef. Puddings something else, flavours and very Moorish. Couple of pints and a Pina Colada went down very well.
