The staff were very friendly, and the food was brilliant. The place itself had very cosy vibes and a pet parrot who was really cute and interesting to look at. Thank you!
Lovely evening here, very friendly and attentive staff, good atmosphere and yummy food. Thank you.😊
Very polite and friendly staff. Superb food. An excellent mothers day meal.
Had booked a table for 7pm but didn't sit down till 8pm and didn't eat till nearly 9pm. Food was lovely but far too late for most of us to eat.
Service was very slow and food bland - very disappointed
Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.
Very good village pub with great menu choice. Very helpful and friendly staff. Recommended
Terrible first visit. I booked the day before to go for lunch at half 1. We arrived 5 mins before the booking and they had given our table away. We waited 40 kins and they still couldn't give us an estimate of how long it would be. We ended up leaving and it was no easy feat finding somewhere else to go on a Sunday.. I told them I was frustrated for the wait times and wasted time even booking a slot if they are going to ignore it. I am local but my family was visiting and they driven an hour to come over my way. Won't be coming back
Another family get together. The Malt Shovel is half way between us all so perfect location. Lovely staff. Lovely food.
My request for a quiet table were met. Food very good. We were a little late in arriving but no problem they said.
Lovely visit very nice meal but recommend to all .
Beautiful food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Loved the parrot too
It was great. My first visit for many years but will not be the last. Friend Linda as a vegetarian though so too. Try a breakfast soon with my son in law. Staff friendly and helpful. Car park a bit tricky but you cannot help that
The food was excellent and the service very friendly and efficient.
Love this place. Great food, very friendly service, and lovely atmosphere. Our favourite place to eat.
Excellent food and a very convivial experience. Great value.Thank you.
Absolutely amazing. Wonderful staff, delicious food and a fantastic ambience. The Malt Shovel is a definate go to.
Delicious roast, although the red cabbage unexpectedly had really hot chillis in it too which was a bit of a shocker if not expected! (And not really matching a roast... a Thai red curry, yes, but not a roast...) Also there was no stuffing that day - pretty standard item on a roast! That aside, the food was very nice, service excellent as always, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. Very much recommended (just read the menu carefully...).
Really nice pub/restaurant staff very friendly and kind. Food was amazing empty plates all round will be visiting again.
Great village pub serving excellent food from a varied menu. Friendly and helpful staff. Recommended
The food was excellent. Staff were polite and friendly. However, our desert’s took an hour to arrive so it was a very long wait

Great village pub serving great food. Relaxing atmosphere and helpful and friendly staff. Recommended
The food was gorgeous (as always). Definitely a good venue for a birthday lunch.
Staff were very friendly. Great food.. Very dog friendly. Lovely quaint pub.
Was a great venue for a family meal. The food was high quality and also generous on portion size. We found the staff there incredibly friendly and would definitely revisit when next in the area.
Lovely meal, although a 45 minute wait for the food. I presume this is expected for freshly made food. I would return
Very good staff, very friendly. Food was fantastic. Big portions
Very friendly and professional staff and delicious food. My in-laws were delighted with the Sunday Roast. Highly recommended!
This is the second time we have used this restaurant to meet up with friends, as we live a distance apart. It was equally good with a warm welcome, good food and all at a fair price. It's the perfect place to go if you are travelling along the M40. I would highly recommend it.
Busy Sunday which we expected but 55 minutes is a bit too long to wait for food. We ordered 2 roasts and when they arrived they were beautifully presented and looked amazing but sadly we're cold. They were returned to the kitchen to be microwaved and were OK then. A shame as it marred our experience
Very welcoming, great food. Will most definitely come back again.
It was perfect, the food was 1st Class and was cooked perfectly.
The only downside is the tight car park which was made worse by cars and vans parked inconsiderately . The staff and food were great.
The pub is quite basic but the traditional pub food is fabulous, very tasty, unpretentious and good value. The beer was excellent too. The pie and chips was exceptional. Even the gravy was excellent.
We had a lovely Sunday lunch at The Malt Shovel
As lovely as always. Always enjoy visiting and eating there.
So welcoming and great food. Will come back again soon.
Excellent service from friendly staff. Food was also excellent and good portions that were well presented.

Very friendly, good food , very accommodating for large parties
Great food and ambience, would recommend and will definitely revisit
A Super friendly pub with delicious food. Dog friendly too!
The Malt Shovel always impresses with its cozy atmosphere, unique style (resident cockatoo) and wide selection of drinks. Each time we’ve visited there has been different choices on the menu and always the food is outstanding. Highly recommend. The staff our always friendly and the service is fantastic; staff recently went the extra mile to make a birthday meal a special occasion.
Had a lovely lunch. Food was fab and Becky looked after us very well. Overall very pleasant meal and service.
