Best KPortal Reviews

Fish and chips were great. Real ale was great too.
Malt shovel is a warm friendly run pub in Ashby, the amazing tasty food is incredible with a great menu they have all the time to delicious specials they put on each week. The servings are always more than you expect that I unfortunately sometime can't manage, which disappoints myself because I don't want to leave one single mouthful on the plate. They are very accommodating about the menu, if you don't like something or would rather change a certain aspect to it to your liking they will check it is doable an change it for you. The fresh tasty outstanding food and chefs is just one part to this pub. The staff behind the bar and waiters are lovely happy kind peoplewith amazing engery for front of house, Lucy and her team are a credit to the place which keep you wanting to return time and time again. They are great entertainment on Saturdays with different singers or bands, all together it's a fantastic restaurant/pub. A underrated pub that isn't given enough credit, I would say it is one of the best in Scunthorpe! I'm never disappointed, going each time is like going home. If you've not been yet definitely book a table and get yourself there!! ????
Tried here quite a few weeks ago and the meal wasn't very good. I had the steak pie and the edges were burnt.
Thought we give it another try to see if it was just a one off. I had surf and turf, I've never had steak as dry as this one was. Had to dip it husbands gravy so I could eat it.
Saw some friends in there and they said their meals weren't very good either. I won't be going back in a hurry.
Just been for Mother's Day lunch, starters were all very nice. Had Roast beef dinner, veg and Yorkshire's were ok but the beef was like boot leather, couldn't even cut it. No waiter/waitress came and asked if everything was ok, so told her when she came to collect the plates, she said I'll let the kitchen know. When she came back i asked if she had said anything, she said "yeah, we've had alot of complaints about the beef today" !!??. Unfortunately you have to pay on ordering, but there was no apologies, no complementary coffee. Overall disappointed.
I have been eating meals for years but it's been getting worse and worse and now I have decided not to go there anymore. The chips are uneatable, food not properly cooked and missing items of order. I know lots of people have been recently and said the same. Shame i used to enjoy eating there. ????
Ĥave,nt been here in accouple of years as I felt it had gone down hill ...but we tried it again last night ,it is now a nice place to go to with a much better menu Loved the food ,and as a real ale lover I was spoilt for choice .....we will go back soon
Christmas dinner, all fresh , hot, tasty and very full plate. Excellent meal including decent Christmas pudding and not an individual one like most places serve.
Went for family Christmas meals, we weren't disappointed the meals were excellent. In particular, the venison was cooked beautifully ???? evening enjoyed by us all .
