The Malt Shovel

Friendly staff and a Landlord with a sense of humour. Tasty food too. The tuna, onion and capers on brown bread with chips may be a simple snack, but it was delicious. 😋

Just visited here today with a friend for a late lunch. Plenty of parking was available. We had the gammon, egg, chips and peas. It was delicious. Everything was very fresh and the homemade chips were fantastic. All for a really great price. Would certainly return here again in the future and recommend them to others.

Delicious home made food.
We had Sunday Roast.
Ham, beef were great.
Vegetables were fresh and tasty.

Extremely friendly team.
Great play area for the kids.

Highly recommend.
Thank you for having us.

Diamond of a local traditional pub with wholesome home cooked food. Very accommodating and the service and food was superb! The Knickerbocker Glory was awesome 🤩 Would highly recommend. Dog friendly too 🐾🤓

Wouldn’t bother walked in to be stared at by the lady behind the bar, asked if they were doing food to be sighed at.
Incredibly uncomfortable felt like we weren’t welcome. Left and will go elsewhere, not great when it says a warm welcome on the sign. Really would avoid

Could not be friendlier or more helpfull with special thanks to Laura behind the bar who is a diamond. She got the kitchen reopened on a winter tuesday night to feed us when we got stuck there without any fuss at all.( Thanks of course to a great landlord and landlady team who are also super friendly) Cosy pub great food great ale (5 to choose from and all first rate) we will be back for sure. Laura even offered to give us a lift back to pine lake resort if we couldn't sort taxi as it was in the slow season after her shift. How good is that.

Disappointed, love an excuse to go here. But took my mate for his birthday after 4hours walking and there were not any staff to open the kitchen. Staff behind bar as friendly as ever and nice beer too. But I've enjoyed a meal here before and expected more. Shame, especially as 6others had also tried to get a meal. I'll ring next time.

Visiting the area and came here for tea because of the good reviews, glad we did. The food is classic pub food and excellent both in quality and value for money. Service from Laura, Linda and I'd best mention Eden was excellent with some great banter from the locals as well... Well worth a visit
