Try one of our Traditional Favourites or select Something Special from the à la carte menu. We also have a daily Specials Board and local 32 day dry aged Holcombe beef steaks.
Remember that we make almost everything on the menu at The Shoulder of Mutton. And we make everything from locally sourced Lancashire produce wherever possible.
If you prefer a freshly brewed tea or coffee we do those as well. An ideal choice with one of our mouth watering hot or cold sandwiches.
And at the Bar . . .
. . . there’s a passion for cask-conditioned ales, from local micro breweries, that few pubs can match plus quality wines from classic Amarone Della Valpolicella to Spanish Albarino and Australian Shiraz. There's also a wide choice of drinks including fine single malt whiskies, liqueurs and fine Champagne.
You've helped to choose wines on our latest list so you can now select of different glass to match each course.
Our Director's Choice section is constantly evolving to bring you fine wines by the bottle from around the world. From New World contemporary classics to Old World favourites.
Wonderful Spring Walks
The Shoulder of Mutton is an ideal start (or end) point for some amazing moorland walks. Holcombe village is dotted with footpath signs so just pick one and start exploring. Here are a couple of examples . . .
Lancashire Life has an excellent circular walk from Holcombe to Helmshore via Pilgrims Cross, ending back at the pub. You'll be hungry when you've finished so time it right. more>
If you are paying a visit to the East Lancs Railway take a look at their Rail Ale Trail. From Ramsbottom you can walk up the Rake to The Shoulder of Mutton. If you can manage that you'll deserve to treat yourself. And it's all downhill on the way back. Rail Ale Trail>
