The Malt Shovel Ltd

"From organising the table a few days in advance, to eating the food on the table was just perfect. After completing a 6 mile walk, the sight of the pub knowing we'd booked a lunch was very nice indeed. The choice of food was sublime, standard roasts , main menu items, chalk board specials. Most of us (x5) plumbed for the roasts, which were perfect. As I was the driver today, the sight of two Harvey's beers on tap brought tears to my eyes (not really...) At least I know where to find it. The pub itself is pleasantly laid out and staffed by some very nice people. Not sure I really want to recommend this pub simply because I'd like to selfishly visit again soon, but I will. It's not Michelin Star but it's offering perfect pub food and drink. It's situated a stone's throw from the Eynsford Ford and next door to the main church (visible by its spire) Thank you Malt Shovel - a good job well done."

"Got there by accident as me and my kids were just passing through the area and stopped for something to eat. Place was packed and it seemed that we should have a reservation to make it easier for everyone (Sunday afternoon) but staff was brilliant and very helpful so they managed to get us a place to sit. Food was amazing, place have a great village pub vibe to it and people who work there are very professional. Prices are very decent. One of the best pubs we visited so far. Highly recommended if you are around."

"First class pub. Great, simple, home-cooked food, well kept ales and smiley service even when very busy. Wish I lived closer!"

"Nice Sunday roast. Big portion. Reasonable priced. The pub is really clean and comfy environment. Toilet is really clean which is also good sign of good pub. On street free parking. There are two English heritage sites nearby. We had nice experience here."
