Just had an amazing roast dinner
I’m never bothering to cook one again
The best roast I’ve had (other than mine ) I’m a long time
Highly recommend
Great pub friendly and as they were not doing food recommend lovely Indian take away which we ate sitting with a few beers great
1st time in this place brought back memories of when pubs were pubs great beer and great staff. Thank God for this little piece of heaven
This is a fabulous pub. The beer selection and the quality of fresh, well kept Beers is impressive. But the thing that makes this Pub a bit special like all good pubs is STAFF and these guys are THE BEST. The LIVE MUSIC at The Malt Shovel is real good with some excellent bands. If you like a traditional pub, this is the one in the town centre.
Superb selection of real ales, ciders and Belgian beers - including Kwak on tap..! Great atmosphere, choc full of memorabilia, fantastic little watering hole �
Fantastic Gin Night 26/01/18. Atmosphere and selection of gins made a great night. See you next time. Highly recommend.
Was there on Tuesday for a Gin and tapas evening! Really enjoyed it, such a friendly pub
This was my first time at The Malt Shovel Tavern and we had a fabulous night, really friendly service, lovely clientèle, the band was surprisingly very good - not my usual type of music. Will definitely go back. Thank you for a great night
Best pub in town, great service and great quality drinks - hidden gem :D
Simply the best real ale pub in Northampton.
Cracking pub , got the best choice of Belgium beers in the area
Attended the Belgian night... what a great atmosphere. What a lovely looking traditional pub. Staff so friendly. Many thanks for a wonderful night.
First time in the Malt Shovel last night, myself and my mate, we were a couple of Geordies who had walked around Northampton Town Centre looking for a good boozer but to no avail. Walked into this fairly ordinary looking pub from the outside to be pleasantly surprised by the superb layout and atmosphere inside. Live band playing to the rear, real ales and lagers on draught to suit all tastes and filled with good folk just chatting and socialising in what must be the best pub in the area. I highly recommend a visit, you will not be disappointed 👍🏼
Only a quick pint ,unfortunately.
Nice pub , both inside and outside.
Friendly service.
I sat outside with a very nice pint of Oakham JHB.
I wish I'd had time to sample more ales.
Excellent pub. Really close to the river so great if you are travelling by boat. Comfortable, clean and with well kept decent beer. The barman on the nights we were in was excellent - friendly and professional. The best pub we visited when in Northampton.
Real ale old skool pub, loads of memorabilia in the walls good little beer garden out the back, bar staff really friendly and helpful
Lovely litte pub, with great service.
There are plenty of beers to try along with a lot of Gin.
If you enjoy a nice quaint little pub, this is one to try.
Amazing place! Dedicated bar staff. Don’t try taking a glass because that bar staff is on it. Lovely crowed would return
Super super cosy; absolute gem of a pub. Free darts playing and even has an outdoor seating area for smokers. Nice selection of beers and friendly staff, nicest pub we found in town.
Proper traditional pub, with a good choice of ales. Service was good as was the phipps ipa.
Interesting history of the pub and the brewing of beers in Northampton
Staff are very friendly, nice atmosphere. Nice pint at reasonable prices.
This is honestly the best real ale House I have visited for years ! Absolutely brilliant ambience amazing choice of real ales beers and European larger fantastic staff and management absolutely lovely and extremely welcoming. We'll done everyone involved a breath of fresh air. A must visit if in the area.
Another good old fashioned English boozer.
Lots and lots of different beers & ales, and generally a nice all round pub. 👍
