    I stopped here today on my way to a meeting. My husband (and, in this case, chauffeur) and I had a…read morepint of Arkrights each, and I had vegetable soup, and hubby had a salad. The food was good (though the salad husband got was a bit on the small side - when they said starter portion, they really meant it). The pub wasn't busy, but the atmosphere is good - wood floors, old style decor, comfortable chairs along with some stools and pews - and some odd pews that are also stools. The chap behind the bar was very friendly, even noting that we were on a time limit and moving accordingly. The place was spotless (I noted extremely clean windows) and the toilets clean and comfortable. I was especially amused by the little sign asking 'are you sitting comfortably' and then suggesting you apply for a job. They have a number of special offers. There is a garden and terrace outside, though it was too cold for us to sit there. The view over the canal was very pleasant. Beer and food are reasonably priced - the beer we had was £2.75 a pint, and the food priced between £5.00 for starter portions and £10 - £12. There is also an extensive wine list. There is a large car park. This is a good pub - shame I don't live close enough to visit more often.

We arrived early and as the sun was shining we decided to have a few pre lunch drinks out on the decking. A great opportunity to soak up the October sunshine :) A waiter came out to tell us our table was ready but didn't rush us at all. We were seated at a table at the back of the restaurant, which meant we had a good view of the restaurant. Our Irish waiter looked after us brilliantly ensuring we had everything we needed and offering us more drinks. We all decided to order starters - I had the venison which was delightful. Considering I never had it before I loved it. I then settled on a vegetarian dish of feta cheese, spinach and butternut squash cannelloni. It arriving steaming hot with slices of garlic bread. Very tasty and cheesy! The other parties in the group ordered roast for two - a huge wooden board arrived with meat, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, vegetables, crackling and gravy. There was compliments to the chef all round for those! We then moved to the bar area after settling the bill to continue with the drinking and had dessert. My white chocolate bread and butter pudding was was divine and very filling. The staff are a credit to this restaurant and bar really making sure they look after their customers. The decor is warm, cosy and modern too. They also have a beer garden too which is lovely on a Summers day.

We called in at the request of the owner to update my review as the property changed hands some time ago. I'm pleased to be able to see that everything appeared in good order, including the once tired car park. The bar area is tiny, only one table and a couple of chairs, so this is now very much a foodie pub rather than a local's drinking establishment. The restaurant area isn't huge, probably around 45 covers, and on the evening we called was very busy so reservations are recommended. There is a lunch time and evening menu, but there is a huge overlap between them. We called in the evening where there was a standard menu and a small specials menu with one starter, two mains and one pudding on it. One of the standard fishcake starters had been changed to a different mix of fish, and one of the standard mains changed during the evening from chicken to guinea fowl, so there does seem to be some additional variation on the menu. I had the crab and prawn fishcake starter, which was tasty and served with a small dressed salad. I followed this with chicken wrapped in bacon Grilled chicken supreme wrapped in smoked bacon and stuffed with pork, leek and herbs served with a sweet creamy Madeira sauce: this came with a choice of potatoes (I went with Gratin) and a mixture of vegetables (green beans, carrots and broccoli). My partner had a fillet steak but asked to change the Rossini-style presentation with pate for a green peppercorn sauce which they happily agreed to. The steak came with green beans wrapped in bacon, sautéed mushrooms and hand cut chips. In general all the food was really pretty good. The steak was a little over-salted and the green beans were burnt at the ends (doesn't show up too clearly in the available light picture) which is disappointing. We finished off with Bailey's Belgian chocolate crème brûlée and a sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel sauce and honeycomb ice cream. Both were very good, although the crème brûlée didn't taste that much of Baileys. Overall it was much better than my previous visit. The food was good, but could be better. Similarly the service was slightly lacking: nobody ever asked us if the food was OK whilst we were eating it, and sometimes getting someone to provide something took a couple of attempts on occasions. Overall worth a look if you want some home cooked good pub grub.

    Now this is an English pub! We took my parents here their first night visiting us in England and my…read morefather said it was the best meal he had the entire trip (2 weeks and we even went into London and over to Galway during that time). The pub decor could be described as cozy and quaint. It has low ceilings and the historic accents and a thatched roof. There is a nice little fireplace inside but it isn't live. We found the food to be excellent and the service was equally as great. We live close by so we will definitely be coming back again!

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.

    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!
