The Malt Shovel in Shropshire

Good night out after lockdown ended on pubs. Friendly atmosphere and a good pint. Food not being served just yet, like a lot of pubs. Its an hours travel from where I live, but it was worth the drive for a pleasant evening. Social distancing measures were in place.

Had a day out in highley and stopped off for a drink and some food with my partner & 19 month old little girl. The staff were friendly and the new owners were very welcoming and attentive. My daughter had a great time playing on the bouncy castle and the play area outside.Food was excellent and The views were spectacular... i will definitely be returning !! Lovely place.

Good quality basic pub food at great prices, real ales went down very well, family friendly, staff are attentive and friendly, only house wines available currently.

Its been over 20 plus years since my last visit and I have to say the place has changed, for the better. Building work is almost complete with the restaurant area which will get a visit, very soon. But for me, the selling point was the view from the rear beer garden. Just stunning!!!

Great food and service and great price

Great views from this excellent establishment with friendly staff and locals.

Nice pub. Good menu...nice decking out back..with views across Shropshire. Towards Ludlow..Sunday dinner requires booking...good for kids and dogs...it's in highley village lies back off road...so search or ask.

Such a great pub and friendly too. Not bin here in long time as when i was a kid my dad bought me here a couple times when he was looking after the kings wich i here as bin knocked down now chelmarsh gutted. I grow up there part of my life this was ill try and visit soon guys. Love little john .

Decent local pub. The Ludlow Best beer is excellent, only surpassed by the view from the beer garden

The service here was painfully slow. The bar wasn't particularly THAT busy, however it took the 4 of us around 20 minutes to get 1 drink each. The woman serving had no sense of urgency and it just took ages. When I finally got my pint, it needed topping up as it was poured incorrectly (had to wait even longer for this, urgh) and there was also a nasty chip on the rim of my pint glass. If I were not paying attention I could well have cut my mouth as it was still sharp and had not been dulled down. On the plus side, the beer was very good (Town Crier) and obviously kept well.I cannot see myself returning here in a hurry
