A little gem just off the high street. Great Vibe, great food. Pukka chef cooked Sunday roast - no microwave stuff here! Apple crumble and custard to follow Mmmm. Nice. We'll be back.
We had a Sunday roast at the Malt Shovel Inn today and we're very disappointed to the portion sizes. Looking at other people's reviews our meals were even more on the stingy side and certainly not worth nearly £30 for the two of us! I think they must have run out of parsnips and roast potatoes as there were only one potato (cut in half) and half a parsnip each. Sadly not the advertised 'all the trimmings'. The interior was a bit dark and dingy except for the window seats. I think we'll be sticking with our regular bigger named carvery in the future.
They call this ‘traditional pub food’ . I wasn’t impressed £9 for sausage. £9:75 for the pie. Glass of coke and a tonic water bill was over £27! And note the 12 1/2 % service charge written on top of the menu! The menu also state voted ‘ best restaurant in the city’ …. It also asks for a review on google, so here it is…
I really enjoyed visiting this pub. Staff were friendly and the food was gorgeous. Lovely and cosy atmosphere too. I recommend ! But it is a little more pricey than normal (my meal was £11)
The Malt Shovel has new owners and they've improved the place no end. It was always an OK food pub, but they've really improved the menu. A few pub classics, plus some more adventurous stuff. Very dog friendly. Good place for a beer with five real ales plus craft and the usual mass produced stuff. The online ordering system works really well and the staff are very happy for you to order in the traditional manner if you prefer. Great staff and a very friendly atmosphere.
