The Malt Shovel - Gaydon

Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. We visited for my Mum's birthday and the team made it special by having us sit in a lovely area and the food was great. Thank you!

Excellent dining experience . Staff were delightful. I would def recommend highly

We were seated in a small alcove area which was lovely but full of flies. Food was okay but took an extremely long time to arrive and they weren’t particularly busy

Never had a bad meal at the Malt Shovel. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

A visit to British Motor Museum with old mate, required a good lunch - and the Malt Shovel did the business. Top notch food, good beer selection (at right temperature, and condition ), good friendly service too. Highly recommended, I wish I lived closer than 80 miles away!

Service was excellent, food was excellent and served in a very short amount of time.

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.

Food was absolutely superb. Cooked from fresh so had to wait about 25 mins but really superb food.

Brilliant as always it’s great food and pleasant staff highly recommended

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

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