The Malt Shovel

A popular 'stop-off' on your way to the station most of the clientèle come here for the old-school pub atmosphere rather than the food. Go to sample something from their wide selection of whiskies and relax after a hard train journey. They do sell some cask ale, but the wine list is sadly limited to a few average and overpriced New World offerings. If you are hungry they can provide the usual staples such as steak and ale pie and fish and chips, which are fine but not outstanding.
