A fantastic Sunday lunch and birthday celebration. Excellent food, great atmosphere and lovely service.
Excellent service, smashing food, staff attentive and entertaining. Highly recommended. Many thanks and best wishes to Magda and Monica.
Warm and comfortable. Very good ambience with log burning stoves and seasonal lights and decorations. Food well presented and tasty.
Food was good, room slightly cool Spoilt by noisy young children, who were not controlled by parents This is really a grown ups style of pub
We arrived early as our walk had to be cut short due to weather and mud, and we had an extra person with us. Immediately the staff were solution-focused, helpful and welcoming. They went out of their way to to find room and welcome us. The service was excellent and only surpassed by the food!! I would so recommend this place - but it is worth booking. thank you all for a wonderful sunday lunch!!
Friendly staff. Very good food. Really busy throughout our visit.
Was put in the back room and only one other table felt a bit out if it
Sunday lunch for 4 of us. We haven’t been for a few months so it was nice to get reacquainted. Food and service excellent as always. Thanks!
Food and service excellent. Beautiful roast beef. Would definitely return.
Loved our visit and the staff are brilliant will be back
Great food (the portions are huge) and lovely service. We will definitely be back in near future.
Good food, atmosphere and service excellent. Have booked again. Thanks.
As usual the food was exceptional, lovely happy atmosphere, friendly and professional level of service, well done to Monica and her team, we will definitely be back and will recommend the Malt Shovel to our friends
Excellent as always. We will be back again soon .
Outstandingly friendly service, fantastic three course meal and the ambiance created is just lovely
Our second visit and staff and food were similarly excellent. Staff were attentive without being over fussy. A very enjoyable Sunday lunch for my daughter's birthday.
Loved our visit, just a little disappointed that the menu still hasn’t changed . Having said that, the food was excellent.
Great food, great service, great value will definitely return and definitely recommend.
We had a very pleasant lunch with our friends today.
We were very well received. The restaurant was warm and had character and most importantly the food was served hot and delicious. The staff looked after us very well.
Nice atmosphere, good food but main course service very slow.
We have been twice for "traditional" Sunday lunch. Really good quality ingredients cooked well. Service very good even if at times a little hurried due to the popularity of this well run restaurant.
Fantastic food, great atmosphere, excellent service Would recommend the Malt Shovel if you want a special evening
We really enjoyed our lunch at this cosy country pub. The service was good and the food was very nice. The only downside is that the pub looks a little tired from the outside. It’s lovely inside however.
we rang to say we'd be late - "no problem"! Delightful staff, service and atmosphere, and we enjoyed our visit very much.
Best Sunday roast dinner we’ve had for a long time. Everything was cooked beautifully. Tasted delicious. Had to wait quite a while for the main course but it was very busy and was well worth waiting for. Staff were friendly and helpful and did a great job. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone.
Service and food top notch. Value for money Relaxing atmosphere
My wife and I were very pleased and impressed by the friendly staff and the quality of food. We shared the tasty starter of fish cakes and then I had Cajun haddock and my wife had sea bass (all on specials). Both dishes were delicious and well presented. A great way to end our trip!
Nice staff very welcoming but waited a long time for food to arrive. Poor choice of desserts only three on the menu
Friendly staff and great food from a good menu - thoroughly recommend
Food was simply stunning. Lovely warm and friendly atmosphere in the pub.
This historic inn was a lovely setting for dinner. The food was delicious and really good value for money.
Excellent food in a cosy atmosphere. Highly recommend to all
It was a Thursday night so possibly quieter than a Friday or Saturday but still relatively busy. The layout is very good with cosy areas of two or three tables. The service was attentive but not intrusive, the food was cooked to perfection and despite this being a gastropub in an ‘upmarket’ village the prices were good. We had a very enjoyable evening.
This is the second time we have been to the Malt Shovel and it was absolutely fantastic again.
Delicious food, excellent service. Couldn’t fault it and highly recommend.
One of our favourites, very busy, staff managed well, rather noisy
Have visited this restaurant through various owners for 30+ years now. Our visits with the current team have been lunch times only and theplace is relatively quiet. Despite a fairly limited choice on the menu, the food is truly excellent.
Great Sunday lunch yesterday that we all enjoyed. We selected three different Sunday roasts and we were all very happy with our choices. Desserts excellent too and our friends had a great time. Service and atmosphere were great as always.
Great ambience excellent good value food. Recommended unreservedly. Splendid venue.
Birthday lunch for elderly couple, great food and good atmosphere with friendly staff.
We hadn’t been under the new owners, the food is still fantastic, everyone both welcoming and helpful. Food was excellent and really good value.
Extremely good food. Good service. Great ambiance. Will go back!
First class as always...thank you to all the staff X👏🥰X
