The Malt Shovel

We were a party of five. The food and service were very good. The choice of specials that were available on the evening were very good.

Food was lovely although we felt that the prices were quite high. The quality and taste were there though. The pub had a nice feel to it and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Excellent. good food. great service. nice atmosphere. couldn't be better.. I would certainly recommend The Malt Shovel to anybody and we will definitely be going back.

Good food and excellent service in a quaint village pub. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will certainly return for the next family occasion. Thank you.

Fantastic ambiance and inviting on arrival. Attentive service with an eclectic menu for all. Delicious wholesome food with a touch of class throughout. Highly recommended.

Lovely food good service nice atmosphere - will go again. Very loud people on table next to us but you can't have everything! Very nice experience apart from that and good value - especially set menu

Absolutely marvellous! Food exquisite, ambience delightful, service brilliant ! Would totally recommend this pub. Rhubarb gin was also very good! Can't wait to go back .

Waited 50 minutes for out main course. Of 2 table bookings we should have been given priority over walk in customers. Three meals were excellent but 2 were bland. We were given discount which was appreciated. Just disapointed as it was a special day and businesses should prepare for upsurge in footfall.

Met up with friends for lunch and used the Set Lunch menu. Food excellent, well prepared and presented. Staff attentive and friendly. Good ambience with fire blazing - even though it's April it was very cold outside! Able to sit and chat for 2 hours with no pressure to move. Parking easy (behind pub). Had considered meeting in Harrogate - this was so much easier. Excellent value.

the team were clearly short staffed but worked tirelessly to look after everyone. The food was very well presented and overall good value,definately be going back

Had it not been for the pleasant waitress then I think we would have walked out. Tables were left uncleared. The wait for our order to be taken was far too long and so was the wait for the main course

We had a lovely meal celebrating my husband's belated birthday lunch. We were able to bring our dog into the conservatory so she was happy too, rather than in the hot car.....it was a sunny day! Food was great, portions were generous and all was freshly prepared for us. Staff were helpful, keen and fun! Certainly we shall return. The waiting Tim was as I would hope it would be for freshly prepped courses. Music down to a minimum.

Lovely country pub in beautiful picturesque village.Food amazing , menu choice great-and the service and staff fantastic!!!Will be definitely returning and highly recommend it for couples families or parties.

A good meal with very pleasant staff in a pub which we hadn't visited for many years. Unfortunately the menu shown on the web site was quite different from what was on offer at the Malt Shovel

Food was wonderful as ever, the steak and ale pie is a winner, the chips light and fluffy. Everything cooked well and the staff attentive and not interrupting you.

Fantastic service and the food was amazing, it was the best steak sandwich I have ever eaten, really nice resturant and we sat next to a lovely fire to keep us warm.

This is a lovely and welcoming pub restaurant with a very high quality of food and service. The sunday roasts are really very good - the meat was amazing - there was a good wine list and the children's menu is all decent home-made food (the chicken nuggets are homemade as are the haddock goujons) and they will provide anything from the main menu in half portions too. We had a wonderful meal. The Moussaka was slightly disappointing but everything else was really very good.

Excellent menu with very good food. Lovely service though the food took a while to arrive. Highly recommended. The pub had parking and very convivial tables inside and out. The greenhouse was too warm even in March on a sunny day. Lovely village too.

average food, pleasant but nothing to shout about. The staff were friendly and well mannered. The restaurant was too hot. I will not be returning any time soon

Had a fantastic meal and everything came without any hick ups. Lovely place! Only down fall was the beef as I thought it was a bit fatty. But everything else was spot on!

Had the aged sirloin steak with a peppercorn sauce and it was absolutely gorgeous. The atmosphere in the pub was friendly and very busy. All in all a great night out. Will return.

We were kept waiting due to large party in adjoining room however we were given complimentary drinks and coffee which was appreciated. Otherwise food and service very good and would recommend to others.

Wonderful! Great, friendly staff, great Sunday lunch and gorgeous surroundings. Historic pub in a quaint village. Good portions but that meant we we're too full for pudding-the only downside....

A very nice meal, in very pleasant surroundings with courteous & polite staff, would highly recommend for a visit & will be going back again.

Great location, great ambiance, great service, great food. There for Mother's Day Sunday lunch. A gem in the Yorkshire countryside. Will go again, enough said.

We booked for Friday lunchtime1pm . We arrived at 12.40 approx. After a warm welcome & drinks order taken promptly we went to our table just turned 1 pm. Orders were taken promptly - but we then had a long wait for our starter & again for our main course. Fortunately the food was excellent so we will return. Perhaps the day was busier than expected or staffing issues of which we are unaware.

Along wait for starters, but quality of meals was very good when they eventually arrived. We were compensated for the starter delay & staff were very apologetic.

We booked for a meal for 10 people, it was a special occasion. However, due to the staff being extremely busy, I believe, the prosecco that supposed to be served at the arrival never arrived to the table....not sure what happened there? I am not sure why the steak was served sliced on the plate, this never happened to me before and I am not sure what was the reason behind. I... am more than capable to slice my own food a specially when it comes to a steak, so disappointed here I am afraid. On overall we liked the room, the music, the staff- even though it was busy they were attentive. It was a memorable meal for everyone, so thank you.

Poor service and food, won't be going again. It used to be outstanding before it changed hands. Such a shame as it was always a favorite of mine.

We had booked a table for 12.45 and arrived about 12.20 - no problem , the table was ready. The food and service were very good , as usual. This is one of our favourite places for taking my elderly Mum for lunch and we will definitely be going back again .

Friendly, warm, country restaurant atmosphere. Very good, attentive service! Food is outstanding and the wine selection is truly exceptional since you can get just a glass--in three sizes no less!--of almost any of the well selected wines on the menu! We find the prices to be very competitive; we've never thought we paid too much for any dish. In short, a top-5 pick for a dinner out within a 20 mile radius!

Tye Malt Shovel is very friendly, well priced and provides very good food and ales. It serves a good non alcoholic lager, which all should do. All in all a quality inn.

Excellent staff and welcome and lovely food. However, about 35/40 minutes wait from ordering to receiving the main course. Having read previous reviews which said the same we were prepared for the delay and appreciate when food is prepared and cooked from fresh. They just need to let customers know that there is about a 30 minute delay. No delay in desserts arriving, had sticky toffee pud, which was excellent.

had a fabulous meal. My daughter has a 3 month old baby and we were made to feel very welcome. I would recommend your restaurant

A sense of excitement at this pub with live music, great food & an eye on the future. Well done Will & looking forward to the upgraded conservatory😊

Lovely little pub, hidden away. Food was beautiful, and service was great. It was busy, but the staff were still very attentive, and the food was defiantly worth the wait!

What can I say! as usual the food was superb as was the service. It's well worth a visit to try their Braised Calf Liver, I've never had better. The Malt Shovel is a true country inn with a warm welcoming atmosphere. Do yourself a favour and go!!!

The dining areas were pleasant with good size tables. The staff were welcoming. Food was good and attractively presented. Service a bit slow, but allowed for a leisurely meal.

Fantastic food and the waiters were extremely attentive even to the point of remembering us from May 16 and what wine we had to drink which was extremely impressive !

Sunday lunch was excellent. Good choice of food on the menu. The Malt Shovel is a typical Yorkshire foodie pub. Good service. Would definitely return and recommend.
