The Malt Shovel

Pleasantly surprised. I found this place after searching for a wheelchair accessible restaurant close to where we had an appointment. We were lucky to get parking as this establishment has a small car park off a residential street, but the actual pub restaurant is small but lovely. The staff and patrons were friendly and the food was plentyful, hot and delicious. Dad ordered the 2 fish and chips expecting 2 small fish in batter; although, they were huge and as a self proclaimed fish expert said it was delicious (he usually complains that fish is never a good as down south). I had the chicken balti which again was well presented and delicious. I really can't fault the place.

Lovely food, drinks and staff. Went for a 16oz Pil Pil Fillet Steak, wow! If you don’t do hot and spicy don’t choose this, as there is about a head of garlic and probably 20 chopped birds eye (hot) chillies, but it was perfect for me. Wife had Lemon Sole which she loved. Lovely friendly waitresses and bar staff, and an excellent price. Thanks guys! PS Still full up after 8 hours 😀

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
