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.

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.

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

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

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.

Went with my husband and daughter, on more than one occasion to this little café A true Gem, staff are always very helpful and cheerful, The cakes are amazing, I have tried to resist but find them too tempting, and unlike some cakes that look lovely but taste is disappointing, these are gorgeous in looks and taste, last time myself and daughter tried the courgette and lime, while my husband had coffee and walnut, both were very tasty, along with an unusual but delicious Mumbai chai, highly recommended. All in all a very nice eating experience with the backdrop of surrounding woodland, and stream that runs past.

We don’t live far from BOS so decided to drive down for a couple of hours. It was a very cold day so decided just to have some lunch then head home :-))) We noticed this little cafe and decided to pop in, there was a table right next to the window/door so we went to the back of the restaurant for some warmth, sadly the staff kept leaving the door at the back open even when my husband kept going and closing it. But apart from that hiccup the food was very nice, and I would return but when the weathers warmer :-))))

We went in to have dinner only to find they don’t do food. Waitress was helpful saying we could order a takeaway and eat in. Having 2 small kids, we decided to move on.

Started well,went down hill not because of food but treatment by very aggressive, intimidating landlord ! We had booked, on entering pub went to bar to buy drinksWe were greeted by a very nice lady behind bar,she asked if we would mind eating in the adjacent room as they were busy.She said she would come and get our order for food and drinks. We walked through corridor full of junk and toilet rolls into other room.This room used to be a nice dining room but now houses tv inside fireplace,numerous notices on walls and a lift that looks like a shower in corner.I imagine this room was not normally used.We did not mind sitting in there,looking forward to food.Lady came and took our orders and brought drinks .We were quite happy and were bemused when landlord entered and seemed quite unhappy that he had to serve us. He demanded to know if we were really hungry and wanted starters ,saying aggressively, most people don't as they would not eat mains. We assured him that yes we did want them.He then said nastily that if that was the case it would take an hour and half for food.We said politely that we did not mind waiting. He then said condiments were in the bar. At this point we were sort of amused by him being so rude ,likening him to Basil Faulty. Absolutely bizarre ! Starters actually came in 30mins ,everything fine.He delivered food,ribeye steaks 20 mins later.All cooked to perfection ,one of our party asked where in the bar the condiments were He replied aggressively again,"they are in the bar where I told you 20 minutes ago !! .OBVIOUSLY it does not register with SOME people !!! " The lady came and asked us if everything was OK and asked if we wanted drinks.We said yes and even complimented her on how nice steaks were. We asked him shall we pay in bar and he said aggressively again "Yes and most NORMAL people order drinks at the bar "He then left the pub. This to me was the last straw ! Up till then we just laughed it off .We are NORMAL people who actually live just down the road ! We were asked to NOT order at the bar but what is his problem besides being a rude,nasty bully.None of this was an attempt at humour. I have NEVER encountered behavior like it,let alone by someone who is suppose to be serving you and taking nearly £90 of your money. I have been told since by locals that he is like this ! I feel sorry for the lovely lady working there. Needless to say we will not be back
