The Malt Shovel at Barston

The Malt Shovel at Barston is a delightful country pub and restaurant with a difference. We have a welcoming bar with an easy atmosphere for eating and drinking. Log fires, long Sunday lunches and newspapers in the winter.

A beautiful garden in summer for al fresco eating at lunchtimes. Fine Cask conditioned ales, imported beer and fine wines.

For more formal dining we have a separate award winning restaurant in a stylishly converted barn. Our head chef Max Murphy sources fresh local produce using high quality butchers and developes fresh fish specials daily. All our food is freshly prepared to order, cooked with care and presented with flair. The A La Carte menu changes seasonally and current menu can be found here.

Our aim is simply to offer the best food and beer around with the friendliest service!
