Lovely venue, perfect wedding.

We recently had our wedding party at the Shoulder of Mutton pub in Calverton.

The venue is a lovely pub in a really beautiful setting, and compared to other venues we looked at, it was incredibly reasonably priced.

Everyone we dealt with was amazing. Shane, Becs, and Gaby were really flexible, accommodating and helpful, and incredibly patient with us throughout the whole process.

The day itself was perfect and everything went better than we could ever have expected. The food was incredible, the staff were brilliant, and everything just ran so smoothly that we were able to relax and enjoy the day.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for much more and would highly recommend The Brothers Supper to anyone looking to arrange a party or event.

Thanks again to everyone involved for making the day so special!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
