We have been going into this pub since June last year. Every time we have eaten there, and each time the food has been wonderful. All th staff has ade us feel welcome. So friendly, and the selection of cider hs been great . I would recommend booking a table on the Friday to Sunday. There's a house cat that walks around from time to time. But it's very friendly. I thoroughly recommend the ribs or the brisket

The service was good, food was hot and freshly prepared and value for money, recommended for a decent reasonable pub meal.

Sunday lunch tasty as always with enough gravy to swim in. The food here is great value and there is something for everyone with Sky Sports, a well stocked bar, great service and a roaring cosy log fire. Consistently excellent.

The atmosphere in The Shovel is great, I visit here with family and friends on Fridays and Sundays. The food is always fabulous, there?s a good selection of options on the menu, with very generous portions which are really good value for money. The covered garden area is lovely in Summer and Winter and there is a decent selection of ales and drinks for everyone. Don?t forget to try the shots at the end of your night out, there?s a very good time to be had and it?s easy to reach by bus or train (Lye station is a five minute walk). If you are lucky you will find a singer or band playing; check the Facebook page. Enjoy!!!

Was recommended by a friend to visit for Sunday lunch, we both ordered lunch with the trio of meat, pork beef and Turkey. The veg and Yorkshire pudding were ok but the meat and the gravy were inedible . Beef was dry and overcooked, Turkey didn?t taste of anything and the pork was awful. Can?t even begin to describe the mash. Very disappointed.
