It can get really busy on an evening so I would recommend booking a table. Whenever I have been on a Friday evening the pub and restaurant area has been full. All the staff are also really nice and helpful. Over my various visits I have tried the steak and ale pie, chicken with wild rice and the chocolate fudge cake and brownie and ice cream. What I have seen from my fellow diners meals, also looked delicious as well. If you visit on a lunchtime, meals are slightly cheaper for a smaller lunch size portion. They have a car park at the rear with plenty of a spaces and a small outdoor area. Definitely one of my local favorites.

Desserts: Homemade Banoffee Pie, Chocolate Sponge and a Strawberry Eton Mess. Drinks: 6 pints of beer all for a FANTASTIC £73!!!!!! Lovely pub, typical village looking pub which added to the experience! Pie and Pea night is on a Friday. If in the area, please do visit, it's a magical place. I'm pleased my mother in law lives in the area as I can visit when I visit back home! I would advise you to pre book a table as it is very popular amongst the locals and surrounding areas!

The pub was…read morerecommended on their the Scawby Hall website, so we thought we would give it a go as we didn't know the area very well. We were relieved to discover that it was a great find! They have a bar area at the front and restaurant at the rear, which is where we sat for lunch. It was really busy for a weekday lunchtime, which we took as a great sign. The staff were all really helpful and accommodating. It is table service, so they come to the table to take your food and drinks order. My mum ordered the scampi and chips and I had salmon filet with new potatoes. The menu is large, with pub classics as well as a few fish dishes and specials. I was really impressed. The prices were great as well. My mum loved her scampi and gave it 5/5! I really enjoyed my salmon, the seasoned crust on the top was tasty, but it was a tiny bit over cooked/dry for me. It still tasted great, but I'd have taken it out the oven a bit sooner! I was just happy to have been a healthier option, which isn't always the case with local pubs. They have lots of pies on the menu, so I definitely would like to go back and try those.

We thought we would take my elderly father out for a Xmas meal, contacted the Malt Shovel to…read moreenquire, we were told you needed to pre-book which we did 2 days in advance, detailing exactly what we required starter, mains and sweet. £18.95 each so expectations were high. Arrived a good 15 minutes before our booking time and informed the staff who asked if we were ready to start our meal which we said yes. Nearly an hour later after 3 separate enquiries about where 2 prawn cocktails and a soup had got to? no sign of any starters. Others who we noted had come in some time after us ordering "on the day" from the "normal" non Xmas menu were started and finished before ours made an appearance. Needless to say we left angry and hungry, we shan't be bothering again. Staff are totally lacking any form of management, what appeared to be the "Manager" was downright rude and each time he came out of the kitchen was filling his face with food (lucky him) the bar staff didn't know what a medium wine the bar maid said wines were'nt her thing!! Don't deserve the trade - AVOID!!

This is a hidden gem in a predominately industrial town.The Malt, as it is affectionately known, is…read morea friendly country pub on a busy High St. It was, in years gone by, a cinema but has been very tastefully and convincingly renovated and turned into the popular place it is today. The current licensees Simon and Belinda ensure that customers both old and new are made to feel welcome and will do their best to ensure your visit is a positive one. They are backed by an excellent staff team who are knowledgable about the range of real ales stocked and the excellent food served. The Malt is divided into two bars; one side is a working mans bar (but girlies are welcome!!) where for the price of a couple of pounds you can become a member and enjoy discounted beer prices. and; the other side is the lounge, traditional in style and serving food where children are welcome (during food serving times.) In addition to the two bars, the upstairs of the Malt houses a snooker club (again with bargain membership and beer prices.) There is a small beer garden and smokers are catered for with a covered area. Real ale buffs will be in heaven here!! There is always a marvellous array of ales, some resident and some guests but all expertly kept and served. The Malt also hold regular beer festivals and is a member of CAMRA, often winning awards for excellence. Added to these is all the usual range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages you would expect to see. The food is all home made and cooked to order (real chips and vegetables, not frozen!!) The menu is extensive and most people are catered for including vegetarian. There are often specials and mon-sat tea-times are a real bargain with two courses for a fiver or one for three quid. On Sundays the chef serves a choice of roasts and booking is advisable as it is very popular!! There aren't really any negative comments one can make, maybe that people in wheelchairs may find it a bit difficult to access the toilets without assistance, but otherwise disabled people are made very welcome. All in all, the Malt Shovel is personally highly recommended. Little touches the current licensees have added like the 'book swap shelf' have made it feel homely and serves to reinforce the country pub feel. If you want good food, a nice pint in a relaxing atmosphere and value for money then head there!!!
