  “Came on Saturday for the bottomless brunch with friends. We all said that we had never been so well attended to at a bottomless brunch. We had been there minutes, if that before they had come to drinks order. We didn't manage to finish one drink before they offered us all another. The 2 girls serving us were absolutely lovely and we all really enjoyed our food. I would thoroughly recommend the Malt Shovel, you won't be disappointed”

  “Stood at the bar got ignored while she served women who came in after me (misandristic) my partner took over and got served straight away. Went for the over 60 special menu. She bought it out we ordered then she came back and said they finish that menu at 2.15 the time was actually 2.35!! On their website it said 12-4. All the prices and some of the times had changed from the ones advertised on thier website. I've put the new menus on here. Food was amazing.”

  “Visited the pub today for lunch with my friend who’s due to disability uses a wheelchair. No disabled parking and when asking if we could park in a what was disabled friendly spot advised no due a man with a van using the spot to get onto his drive. Asked if we could park elsewhere and again advised no as it’s a spot is used for deliveries. Good food, not at all Disability friendly . May have limited parking spots but need to have some consideration”

  “Been here a few times now and always enjoyed the food, the service is always quite slow but it is what it is, tonight however we waited over 2 hours for our food because they failed to tell us they had a party of 17 in, when they did bring the food it was boiled chicken on a bed of grease, potatoes with no butter or salt on, and a salad with zero salad dressing, when we complained and eventually saw the manager she couldn’t of given more of a shit, told us to pay for our first drinks of water and she’d take the meals off, when we said absolutely no way would we be paying for anything she stormed off with an attitude! Shocking customer service and no apology!”

  “Had a delicious meal here. Food is reasonably priced and the portions are huge! Sat in the bar as we had dogs with us so service wasn't amazing, however I imagine the restaurant side was busy. Would highly recommend a visit.”

  “Stopped off for a meal with friends and was amazed at the Malt Shovel. Our booking had been made in error, our fault we booked for next week, however the staff were really accommodating and were able to seat us. We were quickly met with menus and drinks ordered and although the restaurant was busy food service was quick and the food arrived piping hot and well presented. Our friends warned us of the portion sizes and they were right! The portions are very generous so be warned on which size mixed grill you order! The food tasted amazing and we all enjoyed our meals fabulously. The prices are incredibly reasonable, given the portion sizes, with four adults eating with drinks for £84. Superb value. I would have no hesitation for recommending the Malt Shovel for a one off meal or indeed a family special occasion! You will not be disappointed!”

  “Roast Beef Dinner was lovely. But Roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were perhaps cooked a bit too long but otherwise good size meal and filling. Managed pudding - I had ice cream, oreo and maltesers sundae - my auntie had ice cream and honey sundae. Both yummy. 😋😋 Waited about 20-30 mins for food which was ok with us and staff came to our table to take our order etc. Very happy with service and background music. I reserved our table day before as I'm on crutches and we had plenty of room. Only 2 steps to seating area. Also been spruced up since I last went. Lovely pub. Thanks all.”

  “Lovely place , it gets very busy so is really loud inside , so if like me you have sensitive hearing just take some little ear defenders, Everything was beautiful though, the food was gorgeous the staff were friendly even when they were rushed off their feet - then we sat outside with a glass of wine and a chat Definitely recommend”

  “What a lovely place...Food was amazing !! Me and my fiancee got taken here for our birthday's by a friend. The service was top notch from the young lady who served us... The food was genuinely fantastic quality throughout... There was 7 off us dining and all chose different items and although very busy the food came out quite quickly. Booking is essential as they only have a small dining area. We traveled from the other side of Birmingham probably 25 miles however we will definitely be going here again soon.. I had the mega mixed grill and it was touch and go whether I'd finish it, from the first to the last bite it was the business 😋😋 My fiancee had the lamb shank and she swears it's the best she's eaten anywhere. So book in advance and treat yourself to a quality night out... Even if it's a way to travel, on my experience its will worth the extra money and effort. I'll have to get the young ladies name next time and add it as she did an excellent job looking after us.. Thank you”
