The Shovels Inn

Good home cooked food at reasonable prices. Efficient friendly staff. Will certainly come aquality gain.

We were staying at the nearby So lodges for the weekend, and this pub was a convenient walk away. Varied menu and lovely hot fresh food, at reasonable prices. So good we visited again for Sunday lunch! Very friendly staff too, would definitely recommend

We were made really welcome and the dog was made a fuss of on several occasions. The starter and main meals were excellent and we were to full to have a sweet. Staff friendly and checked everything OK but not overly in your face Will go back

Need good clean tables sticky tables chair was sticky back rest Roasted potatoes horrible worst I've ever had Yorkshire pudding over cooked burnt Tasted like cardboard No roast beef left on Sunday lunch menu you should have beef at least to fulfill your customers menu Pork was reasonable Over all service was poor staff wasn't interested in seating yet we had booked Tables were empty at the times we went Yet still couldn't seat us I don't normally complain but on this occasion it has to be said I won't go again unless it improves more Rated 5/10

On entering looks a lovely pub, ordered drinks at the bar and was asked if we were eating, replied yes and got shown a table to sit at. Menus were brought to us to ponder, having sat there waiting for the waitresses return to ask us what we were eating , we had to ask at the bar if we were to order there, replied no I will get someone to you. Waitress came back and took our order off fish and chips in beer batter with homemade tarter sauce and sausage and mash , an extra of beer battered onion rings. On waiting over 40 mins for the food not that busy the batter on the fish inedible, beer battered onion rings not at all. Sausage and mash fine. Told the waitress about the fish and when paying the bill, apart from offering another and being told the fish is normally fantastic , nothing. Sorry but won't be returning.
