What The Malt House does

The Malt House is a family-owned GOLD three-star inn operating from 22 Marybrook Street in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. The business has been run by the Burdett family since 2000 (the building itself has hosted hospitality uses since approximately 1808 under prior names including The Ship and The Bird in Hand). The property sits on a single site just off the A38 between Gloucester and Bristol, with proximity to M5 junctions 13 and 14, and is positioned as a base for visitors to nearby attractions including Berkeley Castle, Slimbridge Wetland Centre, and Cattle Country Adventure Park.

The accommodation product comprises 9 ensuite bedrooms (double, twin, family, small double, and executive double configurations) marketed as bed & breakfast with check-in from 4:00 PM and check-out by 11:00 AM. The food and beverage operation includes a restaurant and bar serving freshly prepared British pub classics (starters, fish, meat dishes, steaks, burgers, curries, pizzas, and a Sunday carvery) with vegetarian and vegan options, food served Monday–Saturday 6:00 PM–8:00 PM and Sunday Carvery 12:00 PM–2:00 PM. A functions and events line uses a versatile skittle alley/function room for birthdays, weddings, corporate meetings, and family gatherings with on-site catering and a fully stocked bar. Ancillary amenities include a pool table, free on-site parking, and WiFi.

Commercially, The Malt House operates a direct-to-consumer model with no institutional investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries disclosed.
