The Malt Shovel Spondon - Derby

Great afternoon / evening for spondon rovers. drinks, eating and raffine in sunshine while the children entertain on the playground.

Nice enough place, went to a family gathering so didn’t really go in the main bar we just used the function room, which is good for gatherings

We went to the Malt Shovel with family. Really cute and quirky pub that we have visited previously. As always, the staff were lovely and very courteous. We all had food, three of us had the fish, chips and mushy peas. The beer batter was just right, as was the cod and the chips were 'proper ' chips. Another of our party had scampi and chips which he said was really good, one had lasagne which he really enjoyed and one had a burger, doubled, with bacon cheese and onions which he said was perfect. Really enjoyable evening, thank you Malt Shovel staff we will be coming back

Nice friendly local that knows how to look after beer. Good choice of three hand pulls, although I do miss the Sunbeam from the cellar straight from the barrel! Limited menu but food well cooked, lovely service and reasonable prices. Sat outside at the back and very lively with children (including my granddaughter). Sunshine and school holidays always brings a decent crowd on a Friday early evening. Decent facilities for kids to play who all seemed happy enough.

The fish and chips was amazing, home made chips and the fish was pretty large, best food you'll get in any pub. all very reasonable priced and a good pint to.
