The Shoulder Of Mutton, Bradford

Down-to-earth Sam's with a real locals feel, plenty of shite being chuntered at the bar with accompanying laughs. Classic heritage interior. Enter to a lovely curved wood bar area with three rooms spurring off; two discrete snugs and a larger oblong room down a couple of steps. Salmon, maroon and cream is the colour scheme of choice alongside the usual comfy fittings. Fairly limited drinks selection by Sams' standards though cask OBB was on and pretty decent (NBSS 3.5). Also the lesser-spotted Light Mild on keg. Enjoyed my 30 minutes here. 7.5

We popped in here on a Tuesday evening to find this pub full to the hilt. The pub had a jovial atmosphere and the majority of the customers were of an older age. I found the traditional interior to be quite inviting, especially with a lit coal fire and found the small snug on the left of entrance a good spot.

Oh dear.. next on the list to try out is the shoulder of mutton. Enter and its too late to back out. Its a Sam's Smith and I have a real problem with their beer. Everyone stared at me on entering, so I quickly took my pint and sat down on a table strewn in betting slips. I may not have liked the beer, but it didnt take long to move on.
