Set on Anlaby Road (No. 583) on the well-trodden route to the MKM Stadium, the Malt Shovel is noted as popular with football supporters and around a 15-minute walk from the ground—handy for pre-match or a post-game pint. It’s a sports pub with Sky Sports and TNT Sports and promotes live sport, so you can catch early kick-offs before heading over or watch later matches after full-time. Guides also highlight it among the Anlaby Road haunts with affordable drinks, making it a practical matchday stop for mixed home and away crowds.

The Malt Shovel was a pleasant surprise—didn’t expect it to be as good as it was! It has a welcoming atmosphere, with friendly staff and a lively crowd. Despite being busy, the pub maintains a great vibe, making it a solid choice for a drink or a night out. Definitely worth checking out.

The malt shovel is a popular community pub with a decent choice of beers, larger, and cider at cheap prices. The staff are friendly and welcoming. there are TVs for sports and music videos, and there is plenty of outside seating at the front of the pub.
