   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!

   Took my wife, kids and 9mth old grandson today and we all loved it. Portions are big and a great price. Staff was lovely and polite. Many thanks Malt Shovel.

   Everything was great apart from the ending there was a party of 8 who were stood at bar waiting for us to vacate our table and we had not had pudding but if had of done we’d of been there longer and could hear them talking about us hurrying up but would say was as much the venue at fault for not leaving enough time between bookings apart from that was all good

   I can never fault the Malt Shovel. Food is always immense. Cooked to perfection, served hot. Portions are huge, always too much for me and feel guilty when I have to life some as it's no reflection on the meal itself We brought friends from our the area today and also very impressed Would highly recommend and always always book. Thanks

   I was disappointed. We asked for the restaurant in our request on booking and ended up in the bar where the music was too loud so couldn’t hear each other.the fire was on too and we were sat near there so it was so heat which was uncomfortable. The staff seemed to forget about us when ordering. We waited 15mins for two drinks. It just seemed very hectic. The food wasn’t as good either as previous times that we have been. We both asked for a medium rare steak yet both more rare.

   We drove miles to what we thought was a reserved table through your app. On arrival the food looked great and the pub OK. We asked for our table and were directed to a high table in the front porch as confirmed on the app and by the waitress We saw there wasn’t a table for us so returned to the waitress or restaurant manager and were told that someone must have had our table (wow!) and were asked to sit in an empty, soulless outside temporary structure! Can’t believe they would not move the people who had taken our reserved table and we left disappointed This has never happened before and maybe because it was so busy the staff didn’t want to know! Won’t be there again

   Always a great place to eat . Staff go out of their way to help. Feel chef is rushed sometimes . I believe hot plates is key to keeping food warm .... Definitely re-visit
