   We had a lovely meal today. The table was great and spacious for 8 of us, there was plenty of choice for everyone's taste. The food came out quickly and was delicious, everyone loved their meal. The staff were friendly and polite and very helpful. Will definitely be coming back for many meals.

   The only negative (which is laso a positive) when busy parking can be an issue.

   How do they provide such a great range of food out of such a small kitchen…but they do. Typical village pub with great range of drinks and food. Has been just the same these last 50 years. Great value for money, phenomenal choice and the staff are terrific. Cannot fault The Malt Shovel.

   Arrived and sat for nearly 25 min awaiting order to be taken while others around coming in and being served Food arrived 2 or the 3 meals where extremely undercooked.Steaks blue rather than medium rare. Everyone's chips and veg were stone cold and limp. Sent one of the steaks back in the end as was having trouble cutting it due to it being pretty much raw. It came back about 3 minutes later obviously thrown in the microwave,was medium rare at this point but tough and inedible and everything on the plate was still stone cold. So gave up left it and paid and went without dessert. Two of the other tables around us also were having problems with their meals although wasn't at all busy like it normally is

    Very slow service considering there were only three tables occupied. Upon receiving my pizza, it was lukewarm with a crust I found difficult to cut through-rock hard!
