Maltons, Ware

Steve of N21 left this review about Maltons

The Sow and Pigs is no more. It is now called Maltons, which proclaims itself to be Ware's finest Gastro pub and restaurant. Well it certainly resembles a posh restaurant inside now and, although there is a small lounge section to the right of the bar, everywhere else is silver service. It still has a substantial garden outback and maybe OK for a beer in summer, but there is no ale anymore and Goose Island Midway IPA on the fiz taps is as good as it gets.

Original Review: 22nd August 2016.
The pub is largely unchanged from Mr Fastard’s review six years ago. For this and the Feathers Inn down the hill in Wadesmill the focus is clearly on food. But that’s hardly surprising considering that the A10 by-pass has removed any passing traffic, so you have to do something to pull the punters in. And it seemed to be working for my mid-week evening visit as the restaurant section to the left was completely full and there were a fair few utilising the pleasant outside covered patio area with its upmarket metal furniture.
Fortunately as it was a balmy evening the small inside bar was largely empty and we utilised this for a couple of decent pints of Adnams Bitter which was on two of the pumps with Broadside on the other.
We didn’t eat so cannot on the comments below, which frankly are better off on the Trip advisor restaurant review site than here, but for a decent pint a small detour from the A10, it’s perfectly fine..
