The Malt Shovel - Gaydon

Good quality and well cooked food with generous portion sizes. Service friendly and efficient. Very convenient from the M40 Gaydon exit.

Another great visit to this lovely old pub for a family lunchtime get together. Food is well presented and tasty, served by attentive friendly staff.

Sunday lunch on this visit, it was amazing thank you

Great village pub. Had very good turkey Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. Friendly and helpful staff as always Recommended.

Amazing roast, quick service and lovely atmosphere - the perfect Mothers Day dinner!

We love this place! The people are so lovely and friendly. A beautiful pub with lots of character and the food is always delicious. We had a fabulous Sunday roast but the best bit was the pear and almond tart!! Would fully recommend!

Very nice, pleasant staff Slight Hiccup with my pud but quickly resolved

We were very pleased to see the pub was really busy even at 6pm. people were very friendly and the staff very welcoming and efficient we will certainly be back

We had reserved a table for 5 with a dog at least a couple of days beforehand for dinner and when we got there they had placed us in the bar area this was expected as the restaurant area isn't dog friendly however it was in a tiny nook with the tables at knee height. You cannot expect people to eat at a table that low including the fact they tried to fit 3 people around a tiny round table that is only suitable for 3 drinks... The six nations rugby was on so most tables were full. Eventually we were moved and placed onto a bigger table and this was fine. The wait for food was a bit longer than we would have liked but the only good bonus was that the food was great.

Lovely cosy pub, great atmosphere. Very friendly staff, good choice on menu. Food was excellent. Our first visit, but certainly won't be the last!

We were school friends reuniting for our 70th birthdays. We came from all corners of England, and the Malt Shovel was a good choice as somewhere central, easy to get to, and good food and atmosphere.

Freshly cooked, piping hot food served by friendly staff who were only too willing to accommodate our likes and dislikes - thank you

Different chef today apparently but still good. Paddy makes the most amazing sticky toffee pudding and the portion size is huge, which is a huge + for me.

Lovely atmosphere. Great food. Friendly service. Will deffo come again.

Great pub not far from the M40, great stop off on the way home from the NEC. Food and service excellent, nice atmosphere. Better than stopping at motorway services by a long way

This was my second lunchtime visit here within a couple of months but the service on this occasion was disappointing. It was very slow, despite not being that busy (a weekday lunchtime) - it was much better on our previous visit. Our orders weren't complicated, but having booked a table for midday, and getting our order in by 12.20, we didn't receive our food till after 1pm. This was particularly difficult for one of our group who has Parkinson's so can't sit still for long periods. Although the food was good, unfortunately on this visit the service did not match our previous excellent experience here.

Very good local pub serving excellent food with good choice. Friendly and helpful staff. Recommended

Lovely food & great service, nice cosy local restaurant !

Excellent food, good choice. Well presented. Will be back again

The food was very good, some meals are a bit pricey though

Beef and mushroom pie with mash and veg was delicious 😋. Service and staff were excellent. One of my favourite places to eat , food is always good

Top quality food,service. Great way to finish celebrating my birthday..

We have been serval times to the malt shovel and have a different experience each time. Today was not great we both had a roast dinner, I had roasted pork belly... It was very fatty there was no crackling and only one piece !! My partners beef was very rare. We ordered two drinks ...one of which was an orange squash and water ... £2-20!!!!!! I mean I can go to a supermarket and buy a bottle of squash for that... Having worked in hospitality for over 30 years I know that squash should not be this expensive that is a ridiculous price!!!when I questioned the waiter about the price of the squash he told me that was the price and that was that!! The restaurant was cold, we weren't asked if everything had been ok. Unfortunately we won't be returning

Always a lovely experience meeting up with family half way at this lovely pub! Food always fabulous, staff are exceptional…. Great atmosphere, well recommend! Thank you!

Nothing not to like. Lovely atmosphere and food and great service.

Brilliant, food was excellent, service was excellent Really enjoyed it

All our meals were excellent, well presented and delicious. Well done to the kitchen, friendly serving staff.
