The Shovels Inn in North West Leicestershire

In a lovely area opposite the Trent and Mersey Canal, Good Pub , Food and Staff

Came for food last week, we loved it, can't beat home made food. Great place to go especially on a sunny day sitting outside next to the canal. Definitely be back again soon.

6 of us booked a table early on a Friday evening. Great food (limited menu - Fish Friday). Very food value and friendly service. All in all a fine pub.

Went today for breakfast. Quality of food can not fault.Plates were cold, So food cooled down quickly. Much better served on hot plates.

Best pub around , food is next level , great staff , would give 4.5 as they don't sell a decent cider , but hey , you can't have it all , doesn't stop me keep going back!!!

Nice friendly staff. Only got a small menu but it's all voted fresh to order drinks are a bit pricey but food is good vale and plenty of it

Fantastic value for money breakfast. Nice lunchtime menu with great smiley service.All booked in for a Thursday evening Thai night - can't wait.

Our favourite pub in Shardlow. Staff very friendly, fun, and inviting. Friday fish and chips are absolutely amazing. Awesome selection of beers. The pork pies with complementary pickles are just too good to miss! We always take a couple home for a late night feast!The only pub I've ever been to with board games printed on every table with pieces available behind the bar. Full selection of games from kids snakes and ladders to monopoly and Scrabble.A must visit for anyone visiting the fabulous historical canal port of Shardlow.

Lovely atmosphere, fantastic staff!Popped in after walking along the canal/River for a few hours.Had some amazing soup and top quality sandwiches. Great service, wonderful pub.

Took our family for breakfast, to celebrate our younger daughter's birthday. Helpful, friendly staff. Grandchildren enjoyed playing board games while waiting for their food, while the four adults enjoyed a hot drink. Breakfasts were excellent. We'll be visiting again!
