Reviews of The Malt Shovel Shardlow

C. D.

Our favourite pub in Shardlow. Staff very friendly, fun, and inviting. Friday fish and chips are absolutely amazing. Awesome selection of beers. The pork pies with complementary pickles are just too good to miss! We always take a couple home for a late night feast! The only pub I've ever been to with board games printed on every table with pieces available behind the bar. Full selection of games from kids snakes and ladders to monopoly and Scrabble. A must visit for anyone visiting the fabulous historical canal port of Shardlow.

Food was just right for today it was extremely hot weather we had prawn Mary Rose salad and cajon chicken baget

L. C.

Phenomenonally tasty and high quality full English with a coffee and orange juice for £6.50. Great value fry up 10/10.

M. S.

Good food and ale. The welcome was warm but the lady behind the bar seemed to take exception to our sweet order and shouted about it across the bar strange.

R. C.

Nice traditional riverside pub. Food great, try the gammon/ham option. Good selection of well kept beers and lagers. Parking a bit sparse. Staff good.

R. O.

Lena was a most gracious hostess to us. Our breakfast was delicious with refills of coffee and tea! We came back for supper...it was delicious! Lena even helped us find a ride to Nottingham the next day.

A. W.

Lovely food. Seated opposite the kitchen and stairs. We would had preferred a window to look out over the canal but the table wasn't big enough for 5 adults. We all enjoyed our food despite it being a small choice. Waitresses were polite and helpful. Atmosphere was good and we loved the decoration inside the pub. Alot of reclaimed wood turned into decoration or fittings.

The food was presented really well and it tasted great! It had a lot of outdoor tables which has a lovely view of the canal. There are also indoor tables if it is cold. I had Lasagne which had a large serving and was with chips which were delicious. It was all well-priced as well! The staff were so great, when our lemonade was missing some flavouring they gave us a new one after another customer complained. It was excellent service! I would highly recommend, and thank you for a great lunch!

A. H.

Nice cosy pub with a good range of drinks and food!

A lovely location with friendly, helpful, accommating and efficient staff. The food was delicious, the service nicely done and the atmosphere relaxed, homely and happy. I would recommend breakfast there whole-heartedly. Bravo!

A. R.

Really pleased to find this lovely pub on our walks. Felt really safe and well organised during lockdown with proper social distancing and precautions. That aside, the views of the canal are lovely and it's a fab spot when the weather is good. Reasonable selection of ales and the sausage cobs were great. What's not to love?

A. M.

Very quite at 11.00 when dropped in for coffee. They do a breakfast cob including coffee, good value!

C. H.

Went today and was very pleased with my experience. As a family we had 2 regular breakfasts and 1 large breakfast, cups of tea and orange juice. Was surprised as it was 50% off! So we got a bargain brunch! There's a one way system, hand sanitizer, and tables placed 2 meters apart. The food was lovely, the service fast, and I felt the pub was doing everything it can to keep customers safe. I'll definitely be visiting again! Well done the malt shovel!

M. S.

Nice beer and curry although it was a bit cold

Nice enough location alongside the river. Friendly staff and obviously popular if the amount of trade is any indication. Decent pint too.

P. W.

Well, what an I say... If you like your breakfasts this is the place to come!! A big plate with plenty to eat at reasonable prices.. Service with a smile, a wide selection of drinks to choose from to wash it down. Could not refuse a hot refillable drink with our breakfasts. Warm and cosy atmosphere with game themed tables which we couldn’t resist to play. Best thing about this place was that my dog felt welcomed here (he got himself a dog treat) which made the whole experience worthwhile.. We shall definitely be coming back here again (next weekend 😉).

S. k.

Nice food, nice beer. A busy Sunday lunch. Opted for the light lunch of omelette and chips which went down very well, but the Sunday roasts that were being served looked good too. The only small gripe was that the tea was a bit strong for our tea drinker.

g. s.

Homemade chips, just like mum used to make....

S. B.

Brilliant pub. Went with extended family. Ages from 3 to 60+ everyone had a good time playing games on the tables. Chess, scrabble, Cluedo, ludo and noughts and crosses. Added bonus were the pork scratching. Will definitely go back again

The wobbly wanderer and tricky Trevor were visiting Shardlow for a day out. Having left our cars at The Clockhouse Pub (intending to lunch there later)we followed the Canal towpath alongside various narrow boats and eventually found the Malt Shovel and being both thirsty and hungry we decided to call in. The pub has a large carpark and plenty of room outside for eating and drinking. I opted for a pint of San Miguel and Ticky went for a mineral water Being hungry we opted for a couple of meals from their (good) selection. Tricky went for a burger and wobbly here went for Chicken breast (Malt style). We couldn't fault the meals they were served quickly but were hot. The young lady behind the bar was very pleasant and friendly. Would definitely go again.

The breakfasts served at The Malt Shovel are outstanding. Not fancy but very tasty with sausage, bacon, egg, blackpudding, tomatoes, beans, hash browns and toast. Tea comes included...£6.50!

It's ok, fairly standard offerings but pleasant staff and a decent location.

Excellent beer and food . Clean as a new pin. Staff cheerful and very well-turned out. Would recommend to anyone.

Took our family for breakfast, to celebrate our younger daughter's birthday. Helpful, friendly staff. Grandchildren enjoyed playing board games while waiting for their food, while the four adults enjoyed a hot drink. Breakfasts were excellent. We'll be visiting again!
