Our historic public house in the village of Barton-under-Needwood
You cannot miss the Shoulder of Mutton public house when you visit Barton-under-Needwood. It is right in the centre of the village facing the small green and St. James' Church. It is the epitome of the classic village green scene. You can enjoy a wide range of excellent food and drink served in a gem of a building, dating back, in part, to 1640.
With low beamed ceilings and a real fire, the Shoulder of Mutton enjoys a terrific atmosphere, catering for all ages. It has a non smoking area, fine food, real ale and features a fantastic beer garden, superbly equipped for children too. All this combined makes for an excellent all-round village pub, which appeals to just about everyone.
It is no wonder that the Shoulder of Mutton is featured in the Good Pub Guide and the CAMRA Good Beer Guide!
Our gem of a public house is close to the famous Staffordshire brewing town of Burton-upon-Trent. Just off the A38, our pub is a short ride away from the home of Bass and Marstons. It is also on route 5 of the National Cycle Network. Burton-upon-Trent railway station is a short taxi ride away.
