Malt shovel is a warm friendly run pub in Ashby, the amazing tasty food is incredible with a great menu they have all the time to delicious specials they put on each week. The servings are always more than you expect that I unfortunately sometime can't manage, which disappoints myself because I don't want to leave one single mouthful on the plate. They are very accommodating about the menu, if you don't like something or would rather change a certain aspect to it to your liking they will check it is doable an change it for you. The fresh tasty outstanding food and chefs is just one part to this pub. The staff behind the bar and waiters are lovely happy kind peoplewith amazing engery for front of house, Lucy and her team are a credit to the place which keep you wanting to return time and time again.

A underrated pub that isn't given enough credit, I would say it is one of the best in Scunthorpe! I'm never disappointed, going each time is like going home. If you've not been yet definitely book a table and get...

If I had to say one down point it would be that the Beer garden could have done with a grass cut ā¦. But Iāll forgive that!!! Thoroughly enjoyable visit and...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreFantastic pub. Extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff who make everyone feel welcome. Fantastic selection of real ale and craft ale and craft cider alongside the usual lagers etc on tap. The beer is always in good condition and any problems are sorted out immediately! Brilliant food menu with all the pub classics on and some more adventurous stuff too! ALL home cooked, no microwave wonders here! The food is exceptionally reasonably priced, the drinks are a bit on the pricier side for the area but given the range and condition of the beers, it's a price we'll worth paying in my opinion. I strongly recommend booking ahead especially...
