The Malt Shovel Inn is between Burntwood and Lichfield, in the village of Chorley.
It's how you would describe a perfect country pub, you walk in to roaring log fires and cosy surrounding with friendly, helpful staff. The selctions of beverages include the normal spirits and lagers but also they always have a selection of real ales.
The pub is well known in the area for it's fantastic restaurant with its home made meals and for all the times I have visited I have never been disappointed once!!
All the meals are home made (even down to the chunky chips) and are freshly cooked, no more of that re-heated pub meal nonsense - at last a real pub with real food.
The menu is large, the normal pub fare accompanied by two specials boards, one purely for fish lovers.. and the desserts are to die for. Baileys Cheesecake being a favourite of mine..
If you want to visit the restaurant then the only downfall is its not a spontaneous decision, the place gets so busy that you may have to book up a week in advance, especially at weekends. read more
