The Malt Shovel - Piatti

Cracking little pub with friendly staff. They serve food as well. There is a small car park that holds about 6/7 cars.

Great traditional pub with pleasant outside space. Good beers. We were here for a family wedding reception and were very well looked after.

First time here, Sunday roast, lamb melt in the mouth and the cauliflower cheese was to die for finished off with the roulade and ice cream, perfect day, great service and lovely atmosphere, thank you Visualizza piatti

We had Sunday lunch with table of 11 for my father in law's 90th Birthday. Food and service were amazing. Keep up the hard work and great standards. The team at The Malt Shovel made a special day so much better. Thank you

We had a fabulous afternoon at the Malt Shovel for a retirement party. Neil and his team exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing, the staff were lovely and nothing was too much. They even reserved us a table after so we could stay and watch the football. I would thoroughly recommend trying the Malt Shovel it's a friendly and welcoming place and I can't wait to return soon. Thank you Neil for helping me organise a memorable day for our dear friend.

Been here numerous times and the Sunday roast is always good , but unfortunately the service is getting worse ..If your lucky enough to get the tall Irish guy your be ok but if not , you might have to get your own cutlery ,condiments and drinks . Spent numerous time going to bar to get stuff which isnt good when your in the garden and the furtherest table from the bar.. We even cleared our own table before we sat down . There was 3 staff serving but not sure why the service was so bad . Food is always great though.. Had our family Christmas get together here a few times , and had excellent food and good service but this time the service was terrible Visualizza piatti

This small, traditional-style pub feels like a blast from the past when you walk in, reminiscent of the 1970s. The interior could use some more lighting to brighten things up a bit. It's a bit off the beaten path, just outside the town center, but definitely worth a visit if you come across it. Despite its size, the pub has a warm and cozy atmosphere with friendly service. In addition to the main bar area, there is a spacious conservatory at the back where they also serve food. I have always had good service here, and the pub has a large outdoor decked beer garden with views of Dartford's Central Park, which is particularly enjoyable in the warmer months. Prices are reasonable, although slig...

One of my favourite places for a drink and a meal. It was a shame the weather was so poor we could not make use of the garden. 2 drinks ordered, now time to chat then look ate the menu. We both decided on the Chicken, Gammon and Leek pie, one with mash and mine with chips plus veg (peas, parsnip, carrot and broccoli) with gravy. We have never had a disappointing meal here and tonight was definitely no exception! The pies were so tasty, plenty of filling and the pastry just right. I know a lot of people do not like it but I love gravy on chips (with the right meal.....not fish). The plate was full of lovely looking and tasty food. At £15 each it was a bargain. We have been coming here on and...

After reading the good reviews we gave it a go. Sadly we were disappointed. Service was pretty poor, we felt like an inconvenience and the staff seemed quite indifferent towards us. Waited for a table to be ready for us even though we booked, then waited ages to even see the menu. Asked the waitress for drinks and it was as if we were hassling her. Hoped the food would live up to the hype, but it was distinctly average. The roast was ok, not the best, not the worst. Slightly better than a carvery, however the beef was chewy and the roast potatoes weren’t nice at all. Roast chicken and pork were nice, as was the cauliflower cheese. I got the ploughman’s, which again, was mediocre. Puddings we... Visualizza piatti
