The Malt Shovel in Sandwell

I popped in here on Sunday because the church was closed and I was too early for a mothering Sunday service. Nice little cosy pub with an aggressive cat. She came to the door, looked at me and demanded I open the door. I ignored her and she gave me a dirty look. I went to the counter and saw all the notices about her abd heard the stories. She pretends to be nice then bites you. I swear when she came back in she was giving me dirty looks.

The Bar staff are so friendly, and most importantly know who's next to be served. Best pint of carling in Blackheath.

Lovely atmosphere for a pint 👍🏻

Great proper pub. The Cob was amazing and only £1.50

Excellent find. We were on our way from the north to visit family in the south. Didn't want to stop to eat at Warwick services and saw this which was just off the M40. Couldn't be happier, excellent food at a reasonable price and the service was good too. Definitely recommend.

Great pub, large selection of drinks and spirits , jolly atmosphere

Great staff and friendly atmosphere

Nice local pub. Went in during the daytime, so can't say what evening is like but we need support our local pubs or they will disappear.

Pretty decent pub, small and cosey with good atmosphere. Handful of outdoor seating. Good choice of draught, Rattler cider is a rarity on tap.
