Llamé a la pala en malta glasshougton para comer el domingo el otro día. El personal era amable y acogedor. La comida era buena, tuvimos una cena muy bueno, eran muy buenas en el sentido de lo que quería en mi cena ya que no me gusta todo. Sin duda volvería de nuevo

A bit run down, better than it used to be though and usually a decent pint of lager or beer. Needs modernising

Este lugar tiene algunos de los mejores pub alrededor. Buenas porciones de tamaño, increíble comida de domingo y muy buena relación calidad-precio. No se desanime por la decoración, la comida hace por 10 veces.

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 pie in its own dish about 8x4 inches. Fantastic filling perfectly cooked. Tender beef and lots of it onions and gravy topped by homemade short crust pastry and a jug of more gravy. The best pub pie ever. The wife had chicken melt and again jacket potatoe and salad. Hot and yummy. Pudding was rhubarb crumble with custard. Had to have rhubarb it's grown locally and tasty. Worth every penny and more. We talked to the landlady who is a local from a mining family. The pub became their thirteen months ago and needs some money spend but they painted and tidied for now. Seemingly she has a stunning Sunday lunch and we are tempted to visit again from Huddersfield. If your visiting junction 32 don't waste money on the big multiples here is a local pub , with a lovely family and great food. It costs us £15 and we couldn't eat anything else that day. We will return.

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.

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.

Beautiful home cooked food at a great price and fab service in a tradition pub with a friendly atmosphere. Kids and families are made more than welcome and the children's food is lovely. A place you need to visit for a good meal.

This is my pub I have been running it for 10 months now and in that time it has all been freshly painted and cleaned up. It still is a little tired and dated and we are hoping for a referb in the near future. It is clean and well looked after. We do home cooked food 7 days a week which I do myself. Being a fully qualified chef working in the food industry for the past 30 years since leaving school. The food is good quality and very affordable my Sunday roast starts at just £4.25 and my main meals mon to sat are £4.95 each or 2 for £9. We do deals and specials and we even have a shower in the gents for our customers that are drivers. We are planning on doing the rooms upstairs so we can start up bed and breakfast over the next 12 months too. We are new to trip advisor and don't have many reviews yet and I just wanted to put some truth on to show everyone thanks for reading

Mel and Mark laid on an excellent late Christmas party for the VX Enthusiasts.They even managed to lay on a snow storm which added to the ambiance. The 3 course meal was excellent along with the free flowing wine and only cost us £15 ahead.The locals in the other bar were enjoying a DJ and karaoke night ,So all in all I would highly recommend a return visit for our club .

First visit for a quick tea and won’t be last: gorgeous food. Very friendly professional gentleman greeted us and explained menu etc. Had the chicken burger and Parmesan/Truffle fries: delicious. Hubby enjoyed his beef pattie and fries too. We will be back to try other dishes on menu soon. Can highly recommend
