Laura and Team Malt did an amazing job catering for my late mother in laws wake. The staff were kind and friendly. Everything was taken care of so we didn’t need to worry. The best thing though was the quality of the food especially the...sausage rolls & the yummy chips. I don’t usually like sausage rolls but I had 2! Thank you Laura from all the family xMore

Had a lovely meal last night, the owner was very attentive, friendly and had great knowledge around allergies. I am gluten free and the person that served us talked me through the menu. I ordered my steak medium rare and it was perfect. Afterwards we...both had a caramel espresso martini, which was amazing and made to a high standard. The Malt has a lovely atmosphere of a traditional, but gastro vibe. It is a hidden gem in a lovely village.More

Had a great Sunday roast whilst passing through the area. Booked via email in advance and received a quick response confirming my booking. Service was excellent, really welcoming, friendly, quick and helpful. Food was delicious and good value. The premises did have some external building...work in progress but it didn’t detract from a great experience. Would definitely visit again.More

Fantastic meal as always at The Malt, couldn’t fault it. The sliders from the specials board were amazing, everything perfectly cooked. Mark is an excellent chef, try the home smoked haddock pie and the pulled pork bun. Laura’s team are spot on.

This is the second visit in less than two weeks, the food was so good I went back and I wasn’t disappointed. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. Generous portions but not to large that you are put off. The staff are friendly, and...very efficient nothing too much trouble. The place was buzzing and there was a great atmosphere loved it.More

Went there yesterday with family, there was 16 of us in total to eat the food was served hot and none of us had to wait for others to be served the table was served all together which was lovely. The waiting and bar staff...are very friendly and helpful and catered to our needs even my 92 year old nan enjoyed herself as we were able to have the family sat together. Food was perfect no one had a complaint about it was all plates were completely finished. Just the right amount of food too. Definitely going back there again.More
