Nice location on the banks of the Grand Union Canal in some quite lush countryside. Had a yapping dog there when I visited.

Have become regular visitors to this place. It is a great place to eat. Food is very good. Service is superb. Prices are reasonable. Certainly good value for money. Is our 1st choice venue for a meal locally. Suggest you give it a try !

The Malt Shovel was a Harvester a few years back but now serves food from its own menu. Quality and choice are generally good, and in my opinion whilst not quite deserving of a 'Gastropub' accolade, it is getting close. There is an outdoor seating area on wooden decking overlooking the lock on the Grand Union canal, and a grassy outdoor fenced seating area that doesn't. Fuller's London Pride and Greene King IPA are the usual real ales.

Please dont ever describe this place as a Gastro-pub. Just because it serves decent food - it doesnt rank it in the eschelons of gastro-pub. This is a food chain within a pub. The food is good and its in a nice spot, especially in the summer. Its great for a lunch out. The beer and wine is ok too. - Nothing offensive about this place in the slightest, as long as you accept it for what it is - Its not a boozer and it doesnt served gastro food! - Just decent tucker

Terrific choice of food - a top class gastro-pub. Really nice in the Summer to sit by the canal.

I have very fond memories of this excellent establishment. Have you ever been to a Harvester before?

this is a lovely place. its not really a boozer, more a fairly formulaic food chain (though it ISNT a harvester). its right on the canal - and really lovely in the summer. if you want to take your family out for a pub meal, and dont want pikey intervention, this is your place. food v good.
