| The Malt Shovel is a Marstons pub hidden away in Spondon. But the interior is well worth seeing with plenty of rooms and lots of nooks and crannies, creating a cosy atmosphere. I arrived as the lunchtime rush was subsiding. But staff were still busy with diners. There was also a large function taking place (possibly a wake?) in one room. 5 ales are generally on. 3 are on handpull and 2 are dispensed by gravity. Be sure to check the blackboard to see the full range of ales (all from Marstons) and ciders. Today there was Marstons Pedigree & 61 Deep, Brakspear Bitter, Wychwood Hobgolin, Banks's Sunbeam & Westons Old Rosie & Rosie's Pig. Bar service was efficient. Toilets are outside at the rear. Decent pub, despite only stocking Marstons ales. blue_scrumpy - 14 Feb 2017 21:23 |
| Visted 19/8/10, 7.45pm Cracking little pub this. 3 beers on handpump and 5 or 6 on gravity. My first pint (Jennings Cumberland) was bad but the Marstons Burton Bitter and Jennings Cocker Hoop were in fine form. Easy to reach on the bus and definitely worth the trip.

| Easily one of the best suburban pubs in Derby. Split into two sections - one with several old, small rooms with inglenooks, small fireplaces and original features - and the other larger more akin to a social club with pool table and main eating area. Excellent array of ales both local and national (mostly brought up from the seller). Friendly for the most part - a must visit if in the Spondon area. goalman2000 - 15 Sep 2009 17:46 |
