Malt Shovel - South Derbyshire

Went for Christmas lunch a couple of days before Xmas, table was laid our beautifully, staff friendly and helpful, food was delicious

Extremely disappointed with our festive lunch yesterday Our group of four didn't enjoy our food....cold....the salmon dry the potatoes not cooked....the turkey dry the pig in blanket overcooked....the mash awful. ....the choc cake broughtt not home made...the cream sour....and theirmeals used to be high sandard.......not a good recommendation from us..will mit be re visiting maybe non chef was on tbe sauce

It's a lovely pub by the canal. dog friendly and welcoming locals and barstaff. Prices are extremely good, too.this is a gem of a pub very well worth a visit.

Met up with friends and quite lucky we had booked a table, as the pub became very busy, nice to see. Pedigree was very good, as was the fish and chips.

Called here while on a circular walk for refreshments. Had a roast baguette and a pint of Wainwright's. Baguette with beef was served with a couple of roasties, two stuffing balls, gravy and horseradish simply delicious! Both food and beer was sensibly priced. Good menu of pub food dishes, well priced. 5 star hygiene. You can't go wrong.
