    WOW, What a pleasant and wonderful surprise of a find. We happened to be going this way after car…read moreshopping and found this pub. It looked like Yelpers had enjoyed it so we hoped that it was going to be worth the stop. It was. A lot of the pubs I've found lately have all become commercialized and become a bit "cookie cutter." They have the same items on the menu, carry the same beers and generally almost start looking the same. Well, the Malt Shovel does not. Not only is their menu unique, it seemed to have specials of the day. I choose a meat pie that with beer in it and my husband chose a different meat and potatoes dish. We started with some fried tempura shrimp that was a surprise because it was just as light and tasty as could be. We ate that pretty quickly. The entrees are pretty hefty and I believe we could have shared, but in the end my husband liked his dish better so it worked out. Ironically we came here quite by accident but it was our anniversary that night and with trying to find a car hadn't had time to properly plan dinner but it worked out because the meal made it feel pretty special. I would have liked to have tried a dessert but having no space had to forgo. In the end it turned out it was less than 10 miles away from home so we probably will be back often for good homecooked like meals!

I would (and have) reccomend the maly shovel to anyone who would be passing. The chips alone are worth travelling to it for

    Four of us had a wonderful dinner here last night. The food was delicious and the service was…read more10/10! We will definitely be returning soon.

    What can I say about the King's Arms? I'm at home here. When we moved to the UK, honestly our most…read moredesired feature was walking distance to a pub. We got stumbling distance to one of the best pubs in the country. This place is well-regarded by everyone in the region. I've met people here who give up walking distance to their local to drive here and have a good time. That says something. My first night here I made friends, and each time I've been here since I find myself in good company either with neighbors we've met before, or people who know we're new to the area and want to welcome us. I can't begin to tell you how often a quick pint before dinner turns into a long session at King's Arms. I wouldn't have it any other way. These guys truly embrace the concept of being the center of village activity. No TVs, no WiFi, these things distract from the community. You come here to interact with your friends and neighbors, enjoy a good beer, and enjoy living in the company of others. They regularly have events to bring the village out. The most impressive of which was the dinner they hosted on the night of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. They served the exact 10-course menu served in first class that evening, and requested everyone bust out their tuxedos and dresses to mark the occasion in grand fashion. It was a remarkable evening. One disappointment, since I have to list one to feel as though I am being fair, is the wine list. We love the temperanillo, but really none of the others. But we're not here to drink wine, we're here to be social! It makes me a little sad that we don't have this type of drinking culture in the US. If you're not an alcoholic, you're not likely be on a first-name basis with the bartenders at a local watering hole. That's why I love walking in here; everyone knows everyone else, they're always happy to see you, they know what you drink, they pour a tasty pint, and are genuinely good people. I dig it.

    I had to laugh when I read the first review for the Peacock Inn!! We have had a couple of meals…read morethere and I have to say, the food is delicious and very nicely presented. The pub itself is in the lovely, out-of-the-way village of Oxhill and is a delightfully typical old-English place that has been nicely fitted out. The second time we went, we were squeezed onto a tiny little table for two but we didn't mind since the food had been so great. Now back to why I laughed at the earlier review We too were greeted by the other lady who must spend her entire life being grumpy! She was so quintessentially miserable when she greeted us that neither of us could resist a snigger as we turned away from her! She must take lessons in being fed up and she gets an A Star from me for her performance! That being said, the remainder of the staff were charming and very attentive which covered for her abruptness. Some might not be so amused though and I would just warn you not to feel too cosy as you arrive, especially if you haven't booked or you are in any way near to the time that they stop serving. All in all, worth a visit if you are in the area but watch out for the wasp-chewer!! I was tempted to give the place a 3 Star because of her but the food was too good for that it had to be a 4. It would have been a 5

Particularly like sitting in front of the wood-burning stove, in the depths of winter, with a whisky in one hand, and a good book (or my iPad) in the other. Just wonderful...! Thank you...!
