We were spending the day at Castleton and Pontifract so needed somewhere to eat. So we looked on trip advisor where else? Every rating was 5 excellent so the malt shovel was our venue for food. Now I'm being honest as we entered the ordinary and in need of TLC pub I was worried. My wife likes everything clean and tidy and it is. The big clue is toilets and they are some of the best I've been in. The second is atmosphere and welcome. Now the regulars , landlady and very tall son 6ft 5 I think he said and a really nice guy. Next was the food. We had a meal each 2 for £9 , tea £1 and puddings £2.50. Mine was a steak pie . This was delivered on a hot plate with hot veg and jacket potatoe. The pi...
We've eaten here several times now including Sunday lunch and Valentine's Day and can't fault anything. The food is delicious and you can tell it's all homemade and the owners and staff are really friendly and can't do enough to help. We like the place so much that we held my daughters 21st here and the entire night was amazing. There was a fantastic spread and a DJ on and everyone had a brilliant time. I would recommend giving this place a try.
Now doing breakfast at this main road village pub from 8.30 till 11am cheap and good quality freshly made to your requirements small £2.50 regular £3.50 and large £5 they include tea/coffee and toast so bargain cannot serve alcohol before 11am but we'll worth it if your on your way out for day there is a lay by at front with 30 min free parking if spaces available and a customer car park at rear via school lane pop in and give it a try
I can't fault The Malt Shovel, what a wonderful place for my special treat. The staff were so friendly with nothing too much ask. This was our first visit but were made to feel like regulars to this lovely local pub. Coupled with the excellent staff was beautiful food which I couldn't fault! I'm definitely coming back! Thank you all for making my day! I'm a very lucky Mummy.

I called down to the malt shovel at glasshougton for Sunday lunch the other day. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was good had a really good dinner they were very good in the way of what I wanted on my dinner as I don't like everything. Would definitely go back again
On 13 Aug 2016 myself and my husband left the malt shovel and are no longer landlord and landlady there tge reviews up to that date are for our efforts and food any reviews given after that date are not
This place does some of the best pub food around. Good size portions, amazing Sunday lunch and really good value. Don't be put off by the decor, the food makes it for it 10 fold.
A bit run down, better than it used to be though and usually a decent pint of lager or beer. Needs modernising
