How
do you find the Shoulder of Mutton on Hazeley Heath? Bryan Ditchman revived the V8 Gathering at the Shoulder of Mutton on Hazeley Heath in 2001 and it has again become a popular Sunday lunchtime event for V8 enthusiasts. The landlord of the Shoulder of Mutton is Steve Thorning who provides a warm welcome for MG enthusiasts - he used to own an MGBGTV8 back in the 1980s. There are two meetings at Hazeley Heath each year and the dates are set out in the Rolling V8 Calendar but often the question is asked - where is Hazeley Heath and how do I get there? Finding Hazeley Heath - the map below may take a few seconds to load as the file size is larger than usual on this website to provide you with more detail. 
Hazeley Heath
is just a few miles north west of Hartley Wintney on the A3011. In
broader terms it is south of Junction 11 on the M4 near Reading and
north of the A30 and the M3. As you travel north from Hartley Wintney,
after just a few miles you will see a sign pointing to the left for
the Shoulder of Mutton. It directs you to a small road which
loops down by the pub. There is a good car park at the Shoulder of
Mutton with the entrance just to the left of the Blaze MGBGTV8 in
the photo at the top of the next column. |
Bryan Ditchman lines up his 11 litres of V8 power at the Shoulder of Mutton, his "local". This is the view of the pub you will see from the small road that is signposted to the "Shoulder of Mutton" from the A3011.

bar of the Shoulder of Mutton. The pub is Bryan's local. You will
see from the sign that Sunday lunch is served in the dining
room or alternatively on fine days there is a very pleasant garden.
