The Malt Shovel Inn, Eynsford

Awful, truly awful. High prices for mediocre food. Ordered 3 meals - lamb (asked for it well done but was told it would be done how the chef wants to do it!), burger and chips and mushroom puff pastry crown (asked for it minus the cheese sauce as I cannot eat cheese and am veggie) very little veggie choice. Advised it would be a 30-45 minute wait which we accepted. Then after 30 mins were told that they couldn't leave off the cheese sauce as it was already made with the sauce on top - obviously not freshly cooked. At that point we left.

The other meals we saw brought out looked pretty ropey too. To add to that bar staff didn't seem to care about what they were doing, didn't see one of them mile and two were bickering with each other whilst seving our drinks and the place is really badly laid out. Like someone else here said, you feel like you'e in the way wherever you stand or sit. Avoid - go anywhere else but here.
