Visited this pub for the first time today. We arrived at 1.30pm for some lunch. I have to say that the Malt Shovel is an excellent pub. The service, food and value for money are excellent. The prices are very fair considering the way the price of everything has rocketed over the last year or so. It's refreshing to find a place that still gives value for money and doesn't try to squeeze you for everything they can. The San Miguel was superb, my ribs were excellent and my girlfriends steak was spot on. Staff were also very accommodating with my two year old son which means a lot. We will definitely be coming back soon, the drive from Sidcup is definitely worthwhile 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We were made to feel very welcome at the Malt Shovel. The menu was good for meat eaters but had only one vegetarian option which was a burger. There were about six additional items on the specials board, of which two were vegetarian. See the attached photos of our meals, which were very good in both quality and quantity. The only disappointment was not having any room for a dessert, perhaps just as well because choosing one from the list would have been really difficult! 🙂
Stopped off here after a day at Eagle Heights on a bank holiday weekend. We got a table for two with ease, happy and attentive staff. They had a wide selection of foods, including pan fried duck, steak and kidney pudding, fish, vegetarian and lots more. We were served promptly and food was hot on arrival, additional sides we had forgotten were delivered quickly without trouble. We had a couple of ciders and two mains all just over £40 which is pretty good in today's world for an afternoon out. Excellent country pub find a stone's throw from the river. The car park is just opposite the old English pub across the road.
From organising the table a few days in advance, to eating the food on the table was just perfect. After completing a 6 mile walk, the sight of the pub knowing we'd booked a lunch was very nice indeed. The choice of food was sublime, standard roasts , main menu items, chalk board specials. Most of us (x5) plumbed for the roasts, which were perfect. As I was the driver today, the sight of two Harvey's beers on tap brought tears to my eyes (not really...) At least I know where to find it. The pub itself is pleasantly laid out and staffed by some very nice people. Not sure I really want to recommend this pub simply because I'd like to selfishly visit again soon, but I will. It's not Michelin Star but it's offering perfect pub food and drink. It's situated a stone's throw from the Eynsford Ford and next door to the main church (visible by its spire) Thank you Malt Shovel - a good job well done.
Nice Sunday roast. Big portion. Reasonable priced. The pub is really clean and comfy environment. Toilet is really clean which is also good sign of good pub. On street free parking. There are two English heritage sites nearby. We had nice experience here.
