The Malt Shovel - Lichfield

This is a brilliant pub in a beautiful setting. The interior of the pub is lovely, warm, comfortable and spacious. The staff are all very friendly and informative. I loved the wine and my husband loved the real ale. All people in our party enjoyed the delicious, homemade food.This pub is well worth a visit.

Visited for my mother's birthday as a family unfortunately eating has really gone downhill and with so many better restaurants / restaurants in the surrounding areas must improve the malt shovel. the once excellent homemade chips lubricated by Stale oil, huh dry, steak burger over boiled. as it comes my mother's birthday and our first family together in years, we have decided not to make any fuss. really shameful.

Can not understand reviewers who say they are regular, then post a bad review!. excellent eating and service. some challenging way to get in and out of the village.

Fantastic eating, beautiful atmosphere and so friendly and helpful staff. our family of 5 plus the lawn and a foreign visitor enjoyed all their Sunday dinners! the Gnocchi star was a real hit and the tender roast beef was delicious. around it from my...crème brûlée with shortbread was yummy our youngs are all teens, but if they have small, the outdoor play park seemed a real hit.

Today we hosted a wake at The Malt Shovel for our best friend and it was an incredible experience. The pub went above and beyond to make it unforgettable and respectful. They allowed us to decorate both inside and outside, and even accommodated us for a nighttime event. The food was fantastic and everyone raved about how delicious it was. The staff were extremely attentive, ensuring all of our dietary needs were met and providing delicious meals. A big thank you to the entire team for making this very sad day a memorable experience to celebrate the life of our friend.
