Traditional values
We consider ourselves to be an extension of our customers' requirements - we listen to what they tell us, and we're delighted that they keep coming back!
A traditional country pub in the heart of Dartford
A lovely traditional pub dating back to 1673, the Malt Shovel has no fruit machines, juke boxes or Sky Sports; just a warm welcome, delicious home-cooked food and a great selection of cask ales, craft beers and an impressive wine list.

Take the time to enjoy
Our sausages, steaks and the meat for our delicious roasts are supplied by local farm butchery Glovers in Longfield. Our famous Sunday roast is highly regarded, and our signature cauliflower cheese is a thing of mouthwatering beauty.
