The Malt Shovels

Mike Parry writes: Probably the Altrincham version of Sale's Railway. Cheap high quality beer (Sam Smiths), and an assortment of generally older characters. Irritating quiz is held on Thursday night, hosted by some boring old buffer.

There used to be a Jazz band playing Thursday nights which was very popular with local clientele, and some of the Thursday boys. Don't know why it stopped.

Not a good boozer if you like Guinness, as Vinnie (guest visitor) found out. Him, Mike Lau & Mike Parry were out savouring some of Alti's pubs one night. When we went into the shovels, both him & Mike Lau left in disgust at there being ONLY Sam Smiths products for sale. They waited outside for 30 minutes whilst Mike Parry thoroughly enjoyed 2 pints of foaming ale!
