Maltshovel in Sedgemoor

The Malt Shovel is quaint pub which serves good food at a reasonable price. Jack and his team are always welcoming and friendly. All the staff work so hard even when they are very busy, they always have a smile. The food they serve considering the kitchen is small is excellent. The pub is excellent to watch sport. Well done to Jack and his team.

My Wife and I visited the Malt Shovel on Monday 30th September for Lunch and were certainly not disappointed , a very friendly welcome from the two ladies at the bar as we got our drinks and sat down to peruse the vast and varied Menu. My Wife had the Corned Beef pie with mash and Peas which she loved while I fancied being awkward and had two Starters as a main ! The chips with Curry sauce were great and the Chicken strips with dip were really superb. All in all we couldn`t say a single negative about our visit, good luck to you all and hope to see you soon, thank you.

Lovely place great staff, Sunday dinner is a must. Atmosphere is a nice setting car park and outside seating and play area for the kids.

Have drove past this pub many times and never ventured in. Today we visited. What a find. Had a lovely meal, reasonably priced and a very friendly barman. Only downside is the small car park. We will definitely be going back

First time here, ordered food and although there was a bit of a wait the Chicken New Yorker was the best I ever had , my husband had rump steak cooked to perfection, prices are very reasonable. Will deffo be back and will recommend.

5/5 We stopped in Bridgwater on our way home from my 2 yr cancer review. All clear! Anyway, I use Green King Pubs a lot as I get 15% discount with a blue light card. Thank you Green King. Very much appreciated ✅ We had our usual meal. My partner being Gluten intolerant had Halloumi Salad. Myself a vegetarian Halloumi Kebab. 1. Staff in the pub excellent. Very friendly. 2. My Guinness pour to perfection. Might have been the extra time to punch in my blue light code but nice to see part 1 settle before part 2 pour. ✅ 3. Food cooked especially well, crispy chips, crispy onion rings and delicious salad with plenty of bits and pieces. Tomatoes, peppers and onion as well as the green. We really enjoyed our visit. Thanks for looking after us.

Just popped in as the kids needed a toilet stop. The staff were very friendly. We all had a had a quick drink, and used the greene king app to order these. Again the staff were very professional and quick.when we are down in this part again will always pop in. We'll done the staff.

My friend was carrying out a tray of drinks worth quite a bit of money, however because the garden isn’t checked regularly she tripped over and spilled all of her drinks, when trying to explain this to the staff, the staff didn’t show any concerns or remorse for her and proceeded to say she had to pay for a new round of drinks which i think is appalling considering the staff did not want to hear her out when it wasn’t even about getting free drinks it’s due to the health and safety of people who attend

Very friendly pub and the food was wonderquick and friendly service will not hesitate to go back. The best green king we've been to this week

Greene King pub, very good value for money, 2 main meals for price of one. Staff very friendly. Dogs are allowed. Only downside was car park was small. Would go back again.

Great value we had senior menu 2 courses 6.49 another course for a £1 3courses for 7.49 cooked lovely hot food it was delicious friendly staff definitely worth a visit lovely pub

Parking is absolutely atrocious. Was not made aware the small car park would be even smaller upon booking a table. Works on Car Park. Homely pub nothing fancy, dogs welcome. Car Charging Point. Nothing to write home about.

Warmly welcomed on entry by lovely lady behind the bar. Ordered food which was lovely (a huge change as my husbands food is normally poor, wherever we go!). Service excellent, cannot fault

staff always helpful, always clean and great food, good value for money, and very good service. don't know what else to say, just great.

Excellent warm and welcoming pub. Great food friendly staff. Always going above and beyond to ensure we have successful and enjoyable family occasions. We are thankful to Jack and his team! We will keep returning!! 100% recommend.

I went with my friends for a Christmas Dinner today . The meal was tasteless burnt pig in blanket, frozen roast tomatoes looked eneamic, no carrots , the meat didn't taste like turkey . The best think about the Dinner was the Christmas pudding and custard . God help them that are going on Christmas day . Won't be coming back it's gone down hill .

Lovely place this, burgers were amazing, kids food went down a treat, staff couldn’t do enough for us- chelsie- thank you 👍🏻

A lovely family/sports pub with a friendly atmosphere and great beer garden. Friendly staff that are always happy to help and well priced food with a varied menu.

What an amazing pub, such friendly staff, nothing is to much trouble. Had a Christmas meal tonight and it didn’t disappoint. Love the way the table was laid out. The food was lovely. Would really recommend to everyone who wants good food and friendly staff.

Staying in nearby Cannington on a Sunday night with limited options for eating found the Malt Shovel after an aborted visit to the nearby Quantock (also a Greene King inn) where we could not get a table and were met with almost total disinterest by the person on reception. What a difference at the Malt Shovel. Pleasant, friendly and helpful staff, a very reasonable meal at a very low price along with well kept beer and wine also at a very attractive price. No hesitation in recommending this pub

What a lovely find. Great friendly place. Food was delicious .we had the seniors options. All day English breakfast and Gammon & eggs chips. Good portions served. Staff so friendly and helpful too. This is a gem of a place and We are glad we stopped here on our way to minhead monday afternoon. Credit to greene king

A very reasonable price ,friendly staff and good quality food . Car parking a bonus . Was worth travelling from Isle of Wight .

Me and my wife visit this pub quite regularly for a couple of drinks and a bite to eat. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The beer is always good and the food is great. It’s a great place to watch sports too.

We had quick service and good food and drinks for a reasonable price. Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Went to celebrate sisters GCSEs results and we come here often for either a drink or food. Staff are lovely and food even better! Our favourite local and always enjoy ourselves.

Malt Shovel is an amazing place to eat, drink, have fun I highly recommend the chicken wings enjoy!!

Thought we would give the maltshovel a shot for Sunday dinner but wish we hadn’t the food was all frozen and barely warm and we had to wait 45 mins for the food it’s was just disgusting the potato’s weren’t even cooked inside won’t be returning

Never visited this establishment before, lovely beer garden for hot sunny days. We all had delicious hot lunches on hot plates, which is unusual. Each of us said how much we enjoyed our lunches. We will be visiting this pub again. Thank you.

Just got back from a long lazy lunch at this excellent tradional pub just outside the town centre. Excellent service from the staff, our main server was Chelsey. Being part of the Greene King chain they offer 20% discount on the Defence Discount/Blue Light cards on food. As regards the food it is already very good value for money. Being diabetic I avoid all potatoes, rice, pasta etc so was delighted to find a dish that consisted of 1 kg of chicken wings with no extras except piri piri sauce. They were delicious and ridiculously good value for money. My wife chose the fish and chips and it beat most local takeaway chippies at two thirds of the price. When my companions ordered the yummy looking sweets I ordered the grilled Halloumi at less than half the price of other local establishments. On other points the pub has just about the best beer garden in town and the toilets are clean. I highly recommend this venue for those looking for a true value for money and congenial experience.

Very good value for money in a nice friendly atmosphere, well worth a visit. Will definitely come again.

Beautiful food, 10/10 fast service! Had the bacon cheeseburger and it was delicious!! H Highly recommend to anyone !!!

Have visited a couple of times lately after recommendation, today as party of 12 seniors. Food is brilliant, amazing prices and the service spot on. Staff Very friendly and professional. Booked for all 12 again.

Lovely Pub, Very friendly staff. Had a great meal and got NHS discount on meals. Highly recommended.

Lovely afternoon at the malt shovel . 4th year in a row other than Covid . Amazing Food steak amazing cooked to perfection . Always friendly staff and made to feel welcome 10/10

Always a warm welcome and great value for money. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food is the standard Greene King fare but it is always well prepared and presented.

I call in to the Malt Shovel most days, and just stop for 1 pint, so by no stretch of the imagination can I be called their best customer. However, I am always treated with civility and friendship as though I was their best customer....
