The Malt Shovel

Would be better if staff listened to your order and wasn't chewing gum

Great food

I have been eating meals for years but it's been getting worse and worse and now I have decided not to go there anymore. The chips are uneatable, food not properly cooked and missing items of order. I know lots of people have been recently and said the same. Shame i used to enjoy eating there.

We are regular visitors and always enjoy the place.

Just been for Mother's Day lunch, starters were all very nice. Had Roast beef dinner, veg and Yorkshire's were ok but the beef was like boot leather, couldn't even cut it. No waiter/waitress came and asked if everything was ok, so told her when she came to collect the plates, she said I'll let the kitchen know. When she came back i asked if she had said anything, she said "yeah, we've had alot of complaints about the beef today" !!??. Unfortunately you have to pay on ordering, but there was no apologies, no complementary coffee. Overall disappointed.

Tried here quite a few weeks ago and the meal wasn't very good. I had the steak pie and the edges were burnt. Thought we give it another try to see if it was just a one off. I had surf and turf, I've never had steak as dry as this one was. Had to dip it husbands gravy so I could eat it. Saw some friends in there and they said their meals weren't very good either. I won't be going back in a hurry.
