Despite the slight loosening of restrictions announced by the Prime Minister tonight, we feel that for the safety of our customers and staff at the Malt Shovel the best course of action is to continue with our current lockdown. Unfortunately this means we have no immediate plans to allow access to our garden, or to open the pub for takeaways. We hope to be able to reopen at some time in July, although this is of course dependent on the advice that we get from the government in the next few weeks. In the meantime, we hope that everyone will continue to take care and to stay at home as much as possible, and hopefully we’ll be able to see you again as soon as is reasonably possible!
With Young's London Original and Special and St Austell's Tribute always on tap, plus a great selection of guest beers, it's no surprise that we've found our way into the CAMRA Good Beer Guide every year since 2009!
There's a lot going on here - from our popular weekly quiz or our live music and DJ nights, to our famous barbecues or our monthly jazz jam sessions, there's something for everyone!

Our sausages, steaks and roast dinner meats are supplied by local farm butchery Glovers in Longfield. Our signature cauliflower cheese is so well known that the Malt Shovel is known as the Home of the Cauliflower Cheese!
