The Shoulder at Hardstoft

We had a birthday meal for my mum’s 70th on the 10th of May and the whole team did an amazing job. The service was amazing. From the day l called to book our meal for 40 people, they couldn’t do enough for us to make our day so special. The food and atmosphere was superb. The service from the all the staff was fantastic and we didn’t feel rushed to leave our table. We will definitely be going back for a meal or a special dinner in the near future.

Excellent service, fantastic food at very reasonable prices. We called into The Shoulder at Hardstoft for lunch & we are glad we did. The interior is very clean & nicely set out, plush seating to one area & a bar area to the left. We sat in the bar & chose food from the lunch menu. The pie of the day was steak in gravy, with mash potatoes savoy cabbage roast carrot & parsnip. A very good portion for the price everything was hot & plenty of flavours, the pie crust was excellent & the steak & gravy interior was of good quality. 2 ciabatta were chosen a plough mans & a fish finger one, both with good quality fresh fillings in good sized ciabatta, with sides of coleslaw. 2 desserts one a chocolate brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, & the other a pistachio cheese cake, they were delicious & all of the food was presented professionally. We would highly recommend The Shoulder at Hardstoft.

The Shoulder kindly allowed us to have the funeral wake gathering at this easily accessible pub/resturaunt. We opted for the gold buffet menu and we were allowed us to substitute prefered items. The manager provided full allergen information in advance of the day. On the day the staff were courteous and the service was streamlined, efficient and respectful. The food was outstanding! It was tasty, generous and professionally presented. Everything was 'a cut above average' and freshly made. The ginger pudding and their minty brownies were outstanding. The manager and all her staff went out of their way to help us plan and were flexible in all their dealings with us. I cannot more highly recommend the Shoulder for an event like this one.
